Today I celebrate success

For the last 3 months, I have been suffering from severe iliopsoas pain. I could hardly walk let alone run. It has been a struggle. I have become a regular at my chiropractor and today I ran a mile successfully. In total, I ran 3 miles and walked ran for the rest of the run. 

I’ve been training for a half marathon in August, I have been panicking because of my injury. But today I ran. And that is something I want to celebrate. Though I have a long way to go, and train, I am so happy.

Feel that heart beat

I was never all that interested in the HR situation when I was working out before. I just thought "as long as I'm not dying I should try hard and that will be awesome." Don't get me wrong, it worked. But after training with a HR watch and constantly tracking my HR I have been more excited about the progress and challenges you can do by pushing your HR a little more!

Super easy to calculate too. Just find your pulse under your chin, next to your jugular. Then count how many beats in 10 seconds multiply by 6 and you have your heart rate. 

There is a lot more to knowing where you should be working with your heart rate and I will post that later!

Let's get physical!

Cardio-a-go-go

I am very excited! This year I enrolled myself into a physical activity course in school that is entirely concentrated on cardio! Aside from 2 workouts we will do a week in the class I am pushed to do at least 2 other workouts of cardio. This is going to help me so much in my resolutions! This year seems to be looking up! I will post on here as well as another blog I will be using strictly for this class. I intend on posting the link to anyone who cares to check it out! Big things!!! Let's get physical!!!
