getting healthier every day :D
I pledge to take care of my body and to respect the amazing things my body can do as an "adult onset athlete"!
I am making healthy and varied food choices, and eating portions appropriate to fuel me though the day. I incorporate exercise into my daily life, and am amazed at how much energy exercise gives me.
I am grateful for the knowledge and inspiration SP gives me as I achieve my goals.

My Goals:
CURRENT:
• complete the Gate River Run 15K on 3/13/10 at a jog pace
• complete the Hippie Chick Half Marathon on 5/8/10 at a jog pace
(remember that your first race of any distance is a PR!!)
COMPLETED:
• do a 5K race at a jog in 2009
- Goal met 5/31/09 -
• complete 10K training program (comfortably jog 6.5 miles straight)
- Goal met 9/21/09 -
• complete P90X program (classic version) - start date: 9/25/09
- Goal met 12/24/09 -
• complete 10 week half marathon training program
- Goal met 1/30/10 -
ONGOING:
• strength training with 27lb kettlebell daily (building consistency)
• ride bike to work 3 or more times each week
• focus on naturally sweet foods (like fresh fruit) instead of refined sugar; avoid HFCS, which is a trigger 'food' for me.
My Program:
• Half Marathon training - 3 or 4x a week
(one interval session, 1-2 short session(s), and one long run)
• Cross Training goal:
1 cardio (kickboxing, plyometrics, etc.), 1 yoga, and 1 strength (30 Day Shred, P90X resistance training,
kettlebells, etc.) routine a week
Personal Information:
I'm originally from Wisconsin and moved to Jacksonville, FL, both because I've had my fill of frigid weather and ice-skating rink roads and sidewalks, and because my parents live just over the border in Georgia.
I'm adjusting to the steamy Florida weather - building muscle & improving my cardiovascular fitness is making me more resilient in the humidity. I'm finding that riding my bike to work isn't as sweaty an activity as I become more and more fit! :D
I am in the process of getting fast and strong enough to be a runner. Note to self: you don't have to go fast, you just have to go!
Other Information:
I love spending time in nature, being creative (knitting, painting, etc.), and spending time with my husband and our combined four kitties.
I'm lucky to have kick-ass friends and family, and I'm grateful for every one of them each and every day.
