MLK 5K fun!

Yesterday two former colleagues joined for me a 5K that we power walked and T ran. The 5K was at a park/lake near my old job, so I reached out to some former colleagues/friends who I had been wanting to reconnect with. We had a lovely time walking and talking. It was a super small race so there was no pressure and we didn’t get in anyone’s way. We did the 5K in ~51 minutes. T ran it, but missed a course sign so he ran it a bit short. He ran it in sub 29, that jerk! 

You’d think waking up at 7am on my day off for a 5K was enough for me, but no I went to a 6:30pm kickboxing class that was very choreographed. I loved the instructor’s energy, but her cues could have been better. Not sure if I’ll become a regular, but it was a good workout – I feel it today. 

Here’s my 2016 workout overview. Shout out to @veggielife for the template!

My motivation is strongly linked to my stress/frustration levels. Work was unbearable before I switched jobs in June and working out was the only release or sense of control I had at times.

Switching jobs, moving, and moving with T were all good things and I tend to get lazier when I’m happy.

In November I really didn’t like how my clothes were fitting so after Thanksgiving I started doing shred. Now that the Holidays are over I’m bucking down on making healthy food choices. Cutting out unnecessary sweets and limited my alcohol intake.

I’m hoping 2017 looks good on me!

Just subscribed to Wrist Society after hearing about it on “What’s Trending” on my morning radio show a few weeks ago. 

They are men’s watches which are TOTALLY my jam, but you get a new watch a month for a $29 monthly subscription fee! 

Here’s my referral link if you are interested too – may also be a good gift for a friend who has a strong #wristgame
