Practice, Practice, Practice

I signed up for a PIYO challenge pack back in July 2014. I had so many doubts about starting this program! I HATE YOGA and I've never been a fan of Pilates. I hemmed and hawed for quite a while and then just jumped into it.

I FELL IN LOVE!! I absolutely love PiYo! Since starting the program in July, I have looked forward to whatever workout was on the calendar each day! It has been my stress reliever and a way to build my strength and flexibility! It has even improved my running! I feel like I have been able to recover faster from long runs because my leg muscles have more strength and flexibility. I love to use it after for the awesome stretch you get!

I never thought I would love this program so much or look forward to it each day! I have never found a program that makes me feel so good about myself and has started to tighten up my awful mom belly!

I love this program so much that when my best friend Jill suggested we get PiYo certified, there was no hesitation! I love this program so much that I want to share it with others! I want to build the confidence of those who are taking my classes by showing them the versatility of this program. I want to be the one cheering them on in class and keeping them motivated to keep trying and to push themselves just a little further!

I have been spending a great deal of time practicing after the training day! I even had a demo on Monday January 19 with SOL Fitness and Personal training!! I was so nervous!!! It was nothing though! Both the owner and another instructor loved it!! I love Connie at SOL! She is fun and bubbly and just an awesome person who wants to help others with their fitness. She's also a runner so that makes her that much cooler!!! The demo was awesome and I will be teaching 2 free classes next week!!! Sunday January 25 @ 10 am and Wednesday January 28 @ 6 pm!!! I am so excited!! I cannot wait to show others my love for PiYo!! It's going to be so awesome!!

I had to go to a presentation on Maddie's Kindergarten reading program and while I was waiting for it to start, I checked my email and my certificate was there!! I am so excited that I am OFFICIALLY an PiYo Instructor!!

So if you are interested in trying PiYo, come out and see me next week!!! You won't be disappointed!!!

As always, Be Strong, You Never Know Who You Are Inspiring!!!

Run and PiYo on !!!

Inspired Endurance Giveaway

I HAVE SOMETHING SUPER AWESOME TO SHARE!! READ ON TO FIND OUT MORE!!! Several times during the past 3 weeks I have been wearing these 2 awesome bracelets from Inspired Endurance. It was brought to my attention about 4 weeks ago that they were looking for bloggers to wear their jewelry and write a review about them. I was honored to be able to do this. I asked for the 13.1 charm for myself and the run charm to give away. I have been wearing both to see what it would be like to wear multiple bracelets from them. I love them! I love them so much that I am actually going to purchase the 26.2 charm to wear with my 13.1 charm so that I can wear 2 of them all the time! They are so comfortable to wear that I hardly notice that I have them on! I am a teacher so I am running around all day working with kids, working the copy machine, and typing on the computer. Normally dangly bracelets will end up driving me crazy about halfway through the day. These ones have not bothe

MADISON MARATHON 26.2~I AM A MARATHONER!!!!

OMG!!!!! I DID IT!!! I RAN A MARATHON!!! I AM A MARATHONER!!!! I seriously cannot believe I did it! I am still in shock days later! I completed a marathon! I didn’t DNF! I wanted to several times towards the end, but thanks to some awesome new running friends, I made it through the entire 26.2 miles! I feel ridiculously sore, but I am the happiest and proudest I think I have ever been of myself! I DID IT!!!! I was so nervous waking up this morning! I didn’t fully know what to expect since it was my first full, but I have run so many other races that I just used my normal routine to get myself going. I ate breakfast and got myself dressed, then went on to waking up the rest of my crew. My awesome Mother-in-law spent the night since we had to be up and going so early. I wanted to leave the house by 5:45 but we never leave when I want to. Getting my crew up and going is quite a feat this early in the morning! We were out the door by 6 so I was happy about that. I just

I may have a Serious Addiction!!!!

In the past 3 weeks I have ran 41, 45, and 46 miles!! Those are some crazy totals considering I would have been lucky to have a total of 20 miles a week back in October/November of last year! I definitely have my mojo back!! I keep wanting to push myself more and more with my running! My legs are feeling strong and powerful and I love it!! I am super proud of how far I have come with my running. Back when I started running almost 3 years ago, I had a hard time running a full mile on the treadmill and it took me between 13-15 minutes to do it! I would get so down on myself, thinking that I would never be able to run a 10 minute mile! Now I can run that consistently for long distances, but I get down on myself when I can't maintain 9 minute miles for a 5K! I need to just be proud of myself for how far I have come with my running! I will get there! I'm just always in such a competiton with myself! I know I can I can do so much better with my nutrition so I am going to read this b
