One of the perks of apartment complex living is use of the full gym. After sitting in teacher trainings all day, I was really looking forward to getting my body moving. Here's how the week shaped up: Monday - 25:00 run (3.00 miles), 5:00 walk Tuesday - 5:00 walking...
9,000 in 90 Days Challenge
Yesterday marked the 90 day countdown to Rob's and my wedding! Since life is a bit tumultuous right now, I feel like I am too scatterbrained to stick to weekly challenges or come up with too many new workouts. I still want to stay fit, be challenged, have a goal, and...
‘Merica!
Happy Fourth everyone! Since being back in America for a full month now, I have found myself appreciating all those little things that we take for granted. Vietnam really opened my eyes to how truly lucky we all are to live here. Just a few things I am thrilled to...

Obsession Confession Take 2
I had to share this: 31 Signs You've Been a Teacher Too Long. Some of these things are just too true for words. This one was probably my favorite: Okay, moving on from my fantasy of writing an entire test of questions like that... A few months back, I shared a quick...
Combination Sensation
With my new forary into learning how to lift, I am struggling to balance both arm and leg days. I figure I get in my leg workout when I run, however briefly. My biggest fear is that I will look like this: Obviously, that won't happen (I hope). To try and balance out...
Cardio Burst Circuit Workout
As I am sure you know by now if you've been hanging around my blog for a while, I am going through an odd transition of lifting more and running less. Even though the lifting is fun and I feel more fit than when I only run, I still can't get past the thought of ,...
Less Running, More Lifting
My workouts were pretty good this week. Even though I would like to workout 5-6 times a week, it just doesn't seem to happen. I'll take 4 though because at least I made it there. Sometimes that is half the battle. On the "Off" days I didn't make it to the gym, but I...
6-Minute Bikini Body Challenge
Things have been quite hectic after work this week and the gym has had to take a back seat. There are some really exciting things happening in the next few months and I've needed those usual gym hours to start preparing for them. Monday - Off Tuesday - Mixed Bag Quick...
Heart Up Lift Up Arm Workout
Lifting weights and I are just getting our start in the world. When I ran in college, we would go through a weight machine rotation twice a week. Basically, we would sit on 20 different arm or leg machines for 30 seconds each before our coach yelled, "Switch!" I would...
Speed it UP Treadmill Workout
I first shared this workout back in 2013 after a three week hiatus from running. This was when Rob and I were living in Vietnam and we had been traveling for a week and then I was sick for another week or so. Most people cannot stand the treadmill, but I really don't...
Workout Limbo
Running races has been a huge part of my life for the past 12 years. (Wow, I feel old when I type that out loud.) After running cross country and track in high school and college, I got involved in the huge racing scene in Phoenix. Just about every weekend there were...
