Well it's Monday morning, ready for another week of busy activities, bootcamp and family gatherings.
I finished my morning workout and feel great. I recommend to everyone if you can, get up early and get moving, it will help you be more energized through out the day, your metabolism will kick in a lot faster and use up all the stored fat for energy. Keep working hard, your body will thank you!
The weekend was great with Saturday being so nice and sunny we enjoyed a nice day in Richmond in Stevenston, it was their Scaredrow celebration, there were some very interesting scarecrows and some not so scary.
Sunday I ran with my running class, we did a total of 10km and just about half of it was hill work. Hard work but it felt so great to get out there first thing in the morning and wake up those muscles with some fresh air and hard work. We are now up to 7:1 next week 8:1. This should definitely help me with the upcoming 7mile race I have signed up for.
Running is never easy and is one of the best ways to lose weight and tighten everything, but it's hard I know. I hated running for the longest time until I did my first half marathon. That was a turning point for me, now I don't mind it. I don't think I will ever get to the point of loving running, but I can enjoy a good run today.
How do non runners start running? Well, you build up. First start by walking at faster pace, meaning your heart rate has to come up a little bit. The next week run for one minute and walk for two or three minutes if you have to. Then week after week you just add to your running time and if you keep up with this routine, you will be able to run 10km in 8-10 weeks guaranteed!. If you can't motivate yourself, find a friend and commit to meeting once or twice a week for a run. I find running with a partner is a lot more fun.
