First 5km of 2014

All suited up hubby and I walked over the freeway to the start of the race in our suburb. I was struggling to keep up but in the end was super impressed with a 29min finish. Boojah!

Technology

I suppose for those who have gotten it right it's easy. But I just cannot seem to find an app that is easy to use. Was all geared up to enter every minute of sweat inducing activities.  I tried it. Tried more than one app. But it became a workout on its own. Would have been amazing to see every calorie burned the hours etc. Just not worth it.
I just want to train whenever and as hard as I can and know by the amount of sweat dripping everywhere that I did good.
This doesn't mean I don't use technology at all. Today I used a very cute little mp3 player and it was super. Except for the ear pieces. But I will get around that one. The phone was way to restrictive. This little device clips onto my shirt and is feather light. Bonus. Music in my ears for full workout. And thanks to free downloads I got some pumping tunes. Nothing like music to get you going.

2014 You Beauty

So this summer holiday has been rather good. Slept a lot at beginning and felt rather broken but thank goodness it helped. Started seeing a Chiro which helped loosen up my back and I was able to tackle yard work. So proud of what I accomplished there. Food is still my biggest enemy and I wolfed down tons of yummy naughty foods. So I have expanded. But I still feel strong. Empowered actually as I know exactly what is necessary.
Today hubby and I signed up to Virgin. Not ideal. But there were many factors to change things up. It was a long frustrating process which put me off. But we done it and I will do this.
Also have already lined up some fun runs. Want more medals darnit! LOL.
My neck is being stubborn so xrays next week. Typical.
Come on. Let's do this. More ME time. Less GRRR. More ROAR.
