So I was asked to bring the blog back up. I can't promise I will be as good as I was before, but I'm going to try.
I recently accepted a new position and moved from Tulsa, OK to Tennessee. I am very excited and happy yo be closer to home, friends and the life I want. I'm also excited to be running on a hilly campus and area again!
Since I've been back I've run a 5k and am planning to sign up for the half marathon in April. I've been running 2-3 times a week in the mornings before work, averaging about 2 miles each run. My plan is to up that gradually and start adding Saturday runs when football season ends.
I'm also back to the gym 5-6 times a week. Right now I'm on cardio machines with slight weights as I get used to a new gym and new machines. On the thigh machines I'm up to 80 lbs already with 5 sets of 10 presses each. Goal for next week is to start on medicine ball crunches.
I'm still looking for a Zumba class as good as what I left. Two are offered here on campus but I've only been to the one which works best with my schedule and her style isn't what I'm looking for. I may start looking off campus so I can find different styles that I like and prefer until I find one I'm happy with.
When I first moved my schedule didn't allow me to run as much as I had been so I lost my mileage and gained about 5 lbs. I've already lost 2 lbs but working on toning as well. I want to look like I did when I moved in July.
The goal is to start running a 5k a month again and slowly work my mileage up to where it should be so I can handle 13.1 in April.
Thank you for your support and for taking the time to read.
