So, I haven't updated this wonderful thing since May. A lot of things have happened over the last 4 months since the last update. Summer training runs in the glorious heat and humidity of Alabama. A 4th of July 10k known as Peachtree Road Race. A beginning of a new workout regimen, CrossFit. A trip to California to run the Disneyland Half Marathon.
Summer training runs. Let's just say, I wasn't the most consistent runner with getting the runs in. I did an okay job getting out and running. I just didn't run all the miles I should've been running. I chalk this up to multiple things, including being in a rut running in the neighborhood. I've since changed my runs to various areas and feel much better getting out to run. With the weather beginning to change, it's also much more bearable outdoors. I've also got to be a lot more consistent and stay on task over the next few months, as I have the Goofy Challenge coming up in mid-January. Lucky for me, I have a great friend that owns a CrossFit affiliate that has helped put together a training plan for me that incorporates my CrossFit workouts and running.
CrossFit. One word description: humbling. I've never been into lifting weights (it's been 20 years since I've done any consistent strength training). But, I can definitely feel a difference in my overall fitness level. My piece of advice to anyone thinking about doing CrossFit: Do it and focus on yourself, not the others in the workout with you. Everyone was a beginner at some point in time.
I'll put a Disneyland and Disneyland Half recap in a different post. There's a lot to say about both.
Now, time to work to be able to pay for upcoming WDW trips. Until next time, M-I-C, see ya real soon. K-E-Y, why, because we like you. M-O-U-S-E!
