I was very happy last week after I got home and was able to go back to running on the track like I usually do. I was even more excited for my weekend long run. I thought it would be six miles again, which is a lot easier on the track than the treadmill. I … Continue reading First Long Run After My Vacation
Tag: won’t stop
After completing my first 5k this year, I signed up for my next two. The one in February is next weekend and it happens to be Córrelo, camínalo o ruédalo, the first race I did after my TBI. I have already completed this race three times, now I’m going for my fourth. After that is … Continue reading Ready to run my first 10k
Before the new year started, I was already thinking about my next race, but I still hadn’t decided. It was either one very early in the morning close to my house or one 2 hours away on a Sunday evening. I picked the one close to home, that was the obvious choice, but I didn’t … Continue reading 5 Mile Saturday Run
This is the second Saturday I wake up at 7 am to go running. I don’t believe you should wake up before 8 am on a Saturday unless you have a very good reason, but going running in the morning when it’s less hot and there’s not that many people at the track has become … Continue reading A running start
I still haven’t finished the 60 Minutes of Cardio Strength and Yoga Collection I started in July. I knew it would be difficult when I started it but I was up for the challenge and very optimistic about being able to finish it in one month. However, after attempting to do several twice or even … Continue reading Two Apple Fitness Collections in August
This is it, week four of the Four Week Cardio Boost with HIIT Challenge. I did the first of this final weeks three workouts today, meaning I only have two workouts left in this challenge. I’m sure I could have done better if I had been able to wake up in time this morning, but … Continue reading 4 Week Cardio Boost with HIIT Challenge-Week 4!
I made it halfway into the 30-Day Core Challenge! I have been following it religiously and haven’t skipped a day, not even on weekends when I usually don’t workout. I thought I was going to be tired of this pretty soon after starting but that has not been the case. These workouts are short and … Continue reading Halfway through the 30-Day Core Challenge
I submitted my story for the Epilepsy Foundation last week. I was going to wait until they shared it on their website and Facebook but, since that hasn’t happened yet, I guess I’ll have to post it myself: I didn’t understand what they were telling me when my family told me I had epilepsy. How? … Continue reading Changing my epilepsy story
As of a few weeks ago I had to change the streaming service I used to workout. Now I’m using Apple Fitness instead Beach Body on Demand and the two are very different. Beach Body had a lot of different workout programs and Apple Fitness has hundreds of videos. I was already used to using … Continue reading Using Apple Fitness
After spending almost a month deciding what to do next, was almost sure I finally found it. This week I started Transform: 20, a 20 minute workout program that’s not like anything I’ve done before. This program is not like the others I’ve done with Beach Body because you need a step. It is optional, … Continue reading Next exercise program
Since I finished Insanity Max (I love saying that) on Saturday, I had to choose the next program I was going to do. I was caught between Let’s get up and Insanity. They are both by the same coach, Shaun T but they are very different. I had already done Insanity like 10 years ago. … Continue reading I’m ready to do this again
I was longing to have a weekend at the beach, I mean, it’s almost July and I don’t think this is the first time I go to the beach this summer. I really wanted to rest and get away for at least a day, so thanks to my cousin and his girlfriend for visiting and … Continue reading Ready for 60 more days of Insanity Max: 30
Every day when I exercise I begin by doing some kind of cardio exercise, like I used to do when I went to the gym. Right now I like to use the stationary bike but it doesn’t really matter what kind of cardiovascular exercise to do, as long as you do at least 150 minutes … Continue reading Exercise bike cardio
