challenge for May...

Run every day!



Yes. That's right! We're half-way through this month and this challenge should have been posted at the beginning of the month. The only cardio machine allowed in this month's exercise program is the treadmill. I am increasing the speed of my runs and shortening the distance. This is the usual. Only in the fall/winter do I stretch out that speed over distance. With that said, on the three days that I am doing resistance training each week, I will fire the engine with a one mile run on a higher incline than the running days.

In addition to running six of six days, which do include a 30 minute yoga stretch, I have returned to the beast of yoga, Lewis. I attend his class on Sundays at LAFIT. I have returned to eating my pre-workout snack, although some days I feel that it's causing me to drag on start, but flourish mid stream and go on forever. This is setting me up for some new ideas for the June and July programs.

Next month I will hit my 3rd year anniversary of living well and the 2nd anniversary of being a pescatarian. Both journey's have taught me so much about my body and how it uses food for fuel. Keep it moving!
