Wow, it looks like I’ve been falling a bit behind on my updates!  School has been taking up a lot of my time but i’m happy to announce that I have not fallen behind on my workouts!   I’m in the middle of week 5 and still going STRONG & feeling STRONG!  ARRRRR! I’ve also surpassed two HUGE milestones:

1. I am FINALLY in “One”derland!  
2. I ran a 12 minute mile without stopping!

These two things are goals that i’ve had for the LONGEST time!  The weird and awesome thing about this is that… I wasn’t really trying.  Scale weight for me is not important anymore.  It’s all about body fat percentages and how my clothes fit.  I’m actually 20 lbs heavier now than what I was a few years ago. However, i’m wearing a smaller size!  I will have to get some pictures to compare that.  All I can say is that muscle has become my best friend! 

Running has never been my forte.  I never though for the life of me that I would run nonstop again. I think the last time I ran a 12 minute mile without stopping was 10 years ago when I was in high school!  Now, I know 12 minutes is candy for you runners out there, but this is BIG for me! I’ve come to the conclusion that all the running around i’ve been doing in basketball for the last 4 months has significantly helped improve my cardiovascular endurance and leg strength.  Now that I’ve proved myself wrong and tied a personal 1 mile best… I am going to shoot for shaving time off my run and increasing my speed.

Stay tuned!
