Motivated Monday.
Alright. I had a few other priorities that started taking over my time. But, even with other priorities on my mind, I did two things that are “cray cray” as the kiddos say. 1. I bought a gym...

Daggum treadmills
For my training today (which I’m pretending to be all caught up on because I did one long run in one month… yikes), I had to run speed intervals. I’ve actually started to really enjoy these workouts....

I DIDN’T WORK OUT THIS MORNING BECAUSE I’M OUT OF CLEAN WORKOUT CLOTHES- NAMELY SPORTS BRAS! I’M WRITING THIS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE! ANY WOMAN WHO WORKS OUT REGULARLY...

Wake me up! So I can go go…
I’m in a conundrum. I love working out. I love to exercise. I love to get up early and attack the day. I love when I start the day with a serious sweat session, then some quiet me time, then a couple...

Interval Challenge
For the past several months, I’ve been running long distances. I like long distances. I understand them. I’m good at pacing myself and seeing the big picture for the run. But when I made the switch to...

30 weeks at a gym
This week marked the 30th week in a row I’ve been to a gym at least once that week. I’ve been checking in on Foursquare and several weeks ago, it started making a count of the number of times I’d been...

I don’t like Spinning
I’m just gonna throw this out there. I don’t like spinning. I’ve never liked spinning. Normal biking makes me nervous. I’m too neurotic about traffic to bike in the city. I’m too anxious about getting...

Hot clothes = hot body?
Let me be clear- I don’t go to the gym to look good. I go to the gym to make my body look good, so when I leave the gym and take a shower and put on some nice clothes and make up, I look good. Maybe...

The Dinkiest Gym in All The Land
My gym is terrible. It’s dark and smelly. At any given time, at least half of the cardio machines have an “Out of Order” sign on them. At least half of the supposedly “working” machines do not function...

To Rest or Not To Rest?
That is the question. I really need to whip my body into good cardio shape because in one month I have to run another half marathon race. The problem is, every time I try to get back on the cardio...

Pent up energy
I’m giving myself a little rest right now. I was headed to the gym this morning but my foot started screaming at me. I decided to take it easy. For once. UUUUGHHHH. The problem isn’t just that my...

Everyone’s so friendly?!
The past two weeks at my gym have been odd. Not because I have to choose odd exercises to compensate for this hurting foot, though that hasn’t been spectacular. It’s been odd at my gym...

My Dearest Gym Bag,
I am so sorry you’ve gone unused the past few days. You’ve come with me every single day this week. You’ve had the same clothes and towel and shoes in you begging to be used. You’ve waited patiently in...

AM vs PM workouts
Age old question, amiright folks? In an ideal world, with an ideal schedule, I would love to get up and workout in the morning. In my reality, with my schedule, I often do not have the time to workout...

All Eyez on Me
I bought a Tupac shirt. I love it. Like, love love love love love it. I’ve had it less than a week. This will be the second time I wear it to the gym. I’ve already washed it so I could re-wear it...

Ab Challenge
In my alternative non-fitness life, I maintain a few weirdo personalities. Including this chick I’ve just revived from the dead named “B-Eazy” (@BEazyHipHop). As you can see in her Twitter background,...

Feisty
My very brave friend Shannon had me train her this morning at the gym. I say she’s brave not because I’m an intense trainer (though that is true… I don’t like lazy and won’t let you do it). She’s...

Fitspiration
Mixed feelings on this one. My friend showed me an awesome blogpost about a guy who takes down some of the most ridiculous fitspiration quotes. I couldn’t find it when I did my standard three seconds...

Gym Closure!
Last week, I packed up my gym bag, put on my workout gear and headed to my usual (dinky) gym. I arrived to find that they had started construction on it. Now, it should be noted: I knew the...

Go Go Juice
My friend had been talking about this supplement he takes in the morning before his workouts. He speaks really highly of it. He got it from GNC. It’s called 1.M.R., which stands for “One More Rep.” I...
