Updates…. P90X2 Round2

Im in week 2 of 10K training with PearSports. Today was a four mile run. It went okay. I really like the app from PEARsports but I can't use it for a distance run because the GPS doesn't work on the treadmill. So I used Nike+ app and that works just great but I really miss Coach Jenny! I'm weighing my options about this app training situation. I think it will be fine once I start running outside but I'm not quite there yet. 

I've decided to start Round 2 of P90X2. I started on Tuesday. Its still a tough workout BUT its so much fun. Much more fun then P90X. The workouts are slightly shorter and there is more balance exercise included in P90X2. My favorite is Plyocide which is actually death by jumping. It has four rounds of five exercises. It goes by very fast and it's very intense cardio. It's Tony Horton so depending if you like him or not will decide if you have fun. I LOVE it! I enjoy it even though I'm sweating beyond belief.

I've started clean eating again. It's hard work but it's what I think has been holding me back from getting to the next level of fitness. Planning is key for me!!

Marine Corps Marathon and the Semper Fi Fund Charity

I did it!! I signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon. I decided to go through the Semper Fi Fund charity.  http://semperfifund.org

There are so many reasons I decided to go through a charity to sign up for this marathon. It's called the People's Marathon and this charity is for Marines. It's for Marines, about Marines, helping Wounded Warrior Marines…. And why wouldn't I?

I am a Marine. Avery big part of being a Marine is the camaraderie and that you don't leave a man behind. This a very big part for me. I am firm believer of never leaving anyone behind so by being part of this great organization I am doing my part to help other Marines. A marathon takes time and dedication with training. But I can still run and live a normal regular life. These Marines do not have that luxury anymore. Semper Fi Fund helps in so many different ways from housing to cars to even providing K9 for these Wounded Warriors.

I am very strong believer in K9 and wounded warriors. I think that in lots of situations that a dog can help someone more then medication. Dogs bring comfort and safety these Marines who feel very unsafe and anxious living in the regular world.

This isn't what you believe about war or the President or even the Marine Corps, its about helping those who need help. Please donate a few dollars, there is no minimum.

The minimum donation requirement for this program (MCM2014) is $500 by August 1, 2014. I would like to raise $2,000. So lets go!!

THANK YOU!

Back to Running! 10K training has begun!

Today was my first day back on the treadmill. Day 1 of 10K training with Coach Jenny. This program is 8 weeks so I'll be done on March 28 as the plan says. I really like following a program and I really like Coach Jenny.

Once again my HR monitor didn't work so I put it back in my bag. I've emailed the company and their remedy didn't fix it. I broke a nail in the process and I really tired of dealing with this situation so I think I am going to start looking for another heart rate monitor. I could NOT find my Fitbit. I was sure I put it in my gym bag last night after I charged it. I looked when I got back home and it's till MIA. I'm gonna test out Nike+ app to see if that is a good one to use for mileage.

I ran anyway. I've been running the same amount of time for the same amount of miles so I'm guessing 3 miles today. I have my new shoes and I just returned from a week off from running so I did a nice easy pace. My music needs  to be changed up and I'm working on that today. I had to stop a couple times because of the music issues popping up but it was a nice run and I'm glad to back in the gym.

So I guess today was FULL of plot twists….
