So yesterday was the first time I updated my blog - just got side tracked and distracted with things in general. So here is what is happening things. Since July, I have completed my weight loss training with Kamilah and now onto new ventures. When you lose weight, you lose what little muscle mass you have therefore leaving you all drawn out and wrinkly. Some said I look sickly - not underweight just don't have that glow or refresh look. So in August, I started training with Rick at the same boxing gym to build some muscle mass. Oh goodness, you never get big and bulky - that is not in the woman's genes unless you are on steroids. So for the past few months - I've been working my body on the chest, triceps, biceps, back, shoulders and legs meanwhile still trying to get my runs in and wonder if I will ever get the runs in to do a half marathon since it was something my friends and I were going to do.
So in August I joined the running program lead by Fleet Feet - supposedly a program for beginners marathoners. It is a new program and have many issues with it but I met some nice people and some old friends. But finally I joined Galloway program - a little late in the stage but I am having a wonderful time running with them. What is great about them whatever group you are in, you are never left alone and they go at a pace where you are not suffering but end with feeling satisfaction and accomplishing a goal. So next week Nov 14th I will be putting my body and mind to the test.
Oh, another thing - I've been suffering tightness in the glutes, hamstrings and IT band - finally went to the MT and he said I got muscle imbalance and working to reprogram me as to what muscles should be engaged while running. Also, I am doing some hot yoga to help with my flexibility. If I had known about this yoga place, I would have signed up long ago - it is a wonderful feeling when you are done with class.
Well more later,
Until next time
Stay warm!
