I don’t run unless being chased, that was always my tag line about running. As I’ve been working out over the past year, I find myself trying things that I never thought I would do. I can’t believe it’s come to this, but I’m about to try running.

I know, right? Surprise, me too. Although if you have been following me on Google+ or Facebook, you may have seen me mention that I was shopping for shoes last week. Well, the shoe shopping was successful and now the hard part begins. The uber-famous, Couch to 5K, program is the one I will be using. I love the iPhone, as there is a C25K app, that I have on my phone. Technology is great. Running, well, we’ll see how it goes. Stay posted for updates and wish me Godspeed. 

I would like a slower-paced yoga class to hold poses longer. In looking at different yoga studios around time, I see gentle hatha yoga, restorative yoga, candlelit vinyasa flow yoga, and Anusara yoga. Is anyone reading this familiar or have any experience with these types of yoga to provide insight?

Thanks for your help and Namaste. ;-)

It’s been awhile since my last post. An online friend is trying to get me to commit t0 30 days of blogging. Not sure if that will happen, but the primary goal I’ve been focusing on is getting more fit and working out consistently. Some weeks I work out 3-4 times a week and others I barely get 2 workouts in. I know that burnout is pretty typical and I’m trying to find other ways to keep my workouts fresh and interesting.

For August, I have a goal of working out 4-5 times a week. I’m going to use my blog as a way of keeping myself accountable.

I’d love to see comments or a WTG to keep me motivated. You will see more posts from this space, although they may not all be fitness related.

I am looking to incorporate yoga or Pilates at least once per week and get back into a swimming routine as well. I wanted to purchase a bicycle this summer, but it’s not looking likely for this year, but next summer it will be mine. The goal is weight lifting or cardio for tomorrow.

Here’s looking at you, kid!
