I completed my Week 2, Day 1 of C25K on Monday and it went very well. Again, my Garmin did the unexpected…didn’t record any of my stats except for the time. I’m now learning, after asking some questions, that my satellites were no...

And I am nervous as hell. I’ve asked others with experience what should I expect, when should I get there, how do I prep the morning off and of course I get a lot of different answers so I’m just going to show up early and when the race ...

So I went ahead and flexed my arms in the mirror last night while strength training and I noticed that I have some “cuts” in my arms…heyyyyyyyyyy! This hard work is paying off I see. I still have this layer of fat cover them that ...

“Finally! It’s happened to me, right in front of my face and I just can’t deny it!” - CeCe Peniston This is a great song to workout to, by the way. My Garmin Forerunner 305 has entered the building and it arrived right after...

So, I decided to do a little experiment. Here is the background information…since I’ve dropped the weight I want to start gaining muscle mass which I failed to look into while I was doing all of that cardio to lose the 50lbs. Anyway, I ...
