Day Fifty Three: OFF DAY YTD: 172.8
Yoga + Pilates= Yoga-lates.
Which is a butt kickin’ good time. 30 minutes of that concoction and you’ll be feeling energized and sore and superhero-esque. True story. Today’s focus was on abs and arms and boy am I feeling it! The last few days my arms had been feeling very tired on my runs, so its high time I bulk them up a bit- nothing crazy, they just need to be more muscular than the toothpicks that they are now. I also measured my BMI today and it came in at 21.1, which is just about where an athlete wants to be, so I was pretty pleased with that.
Okay, time for me to make you laugh with a visual. I am no ballerina. I have roughly zero balance. So some of the yoga poses that I do end up looking rather cartoonish, especially the dance pose though some how I have not managed to fall on my face. Yet. My goal is to master it without wobbling, which may prove a harder task that the completion of the Philly Marathon.
2 days left until my next race, the Johnny Mac’s Train-ing run in Asbury Park which I am so super stoked for. Hopefully this unseasonably awesome weather will hold up until then. I promise lots of fun pictures from this race, which benefits Asbury Park youth programs.
NJRUNNERGIRL Run For A Cause, my fundraising page that coincides with the RunAPalooza 1/2 marathon to benefit Special Olympics NJ has reached $415 so far thanks to donations from some truly amazing people. Help spread the word- goal is to raise $1000 for this wonderful cause. My page is currently #3 in the top fundraisers for the event! I am so lucky to have such fantastic, generous, loving and supportive people in my life!
7.4 miles tomorrow, bright and early before work. Can’t wait to hit the hills!
Have a runderful day, get on those yoga-lates and start feeling superhero-ish.
