Gina LOVES a Challenge!!

April flew RIGHT by so I was NOT going to let another month go by without a challenge to get me focused on summer and swimsuits!  So here we go...... I'm back on track with my eating but need to get into a fitness groove with something OTHER than running. I have a gym buddy, Amber T. to help with accountability, I have my running buddy to keep me going there along with some cycling and I have Facebook to thank for these! 

First up, the AB CHALLENGE!  I'm on Day 6, and going strong!

Next, because you know I'm an overachiever, LOL, The SQUAT CHALLENGE!

So here's to some new challenges for me!  Care to join? Come on! :o)

Race Goals 2013

Well, I did it!  I allowed myself some loose planning for races this year.  I've been very "minimal" with the racing after my first year.  I literally "hit the ground running" full speed back in 2010/11 season and have since then done very little!  I have kept up my running and fitness to the level I can maintain and now I finally feel ready to slowly add in.  My goal is for 2 triathlons this season, short easy ones since I don't plan on training a ton. I would like to keep my running to 4-5 days a week, about 15-20 miles a week, with a day of swimming, when I can and cycling as much as I can, when I can.

Fitness is not my life, but I sure do love it being a part of my life!

There will be times I can devote more time than others, I've learned that valuable lesson over the past two years.  I am an active woman, always have been and I'm pretty sure I always will be.....different things for different seasons of life....yep, yep!

I will add in a half marathon and *possibly* a full....but here is my loose plan for now...

Austin 10/20 - April 14, 2013

Red Poppy Ride - April 27, 2013

Spa Girl Tri - May 11, 2013

Step one complete, some goals are set.  Who knows what other races my friends will talk me into for next fall/winter....LOL  

Happy Training!
