Last May I did 100 pushups a day for the ENTIRE month. I got KILLER results and I was super happy! 

THIS YEAR, I am doing it again except ill be doing 100 push ups a day for TWO MONTHS. April 1st- June 1st! 

JOIN ME (for 1 month or 2!) I already roped in 2 coworkers! 

YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO 100 PUSH UPS IN A ROW!!! As long as you get them in throughout the day, you’re good to go! I started out doing sets of 10 on my knees, I gradually upped that number until I was able to do regular pushups. By the end of the month I was banging out 30 regular push ups in a row! Which for me is  A LOT! 

Get your before pictures taken, because trust me, you will be blown away by the difference! WE START WEDNESDAY!

I’m in – succumbing to peer pressure from tumblr as well as my sister and T. I’m scurrrred

Not gonna lie #shamrockon16 was a rough one today. Cold, wet, and windy. BUT I’m so proud of T for running a sub 2:10! It was basically a freezing cold tropical storm today. I hated most of the first half of race and worried about T. But naturally he rocked it and I finished in 2:28. He says he’s one and done on the half marathon front!

REGISTERED!

I had such a great time at the Pacers St Pats Race on Sunday, it got me thinking about what other Pacers races I could run this season.

I’ve been really happy with my running and I was thrilled with my 10K pace so I’m looking forward to my VA Beach Half on the 20th, but beyond that I wanted to add to my calendar.

For the first time since I moved to Northern VA I’m both free and in shape to run the GW Parkway Classic 10M – which takes places is my old ‘hood/T’s current ‘hood. This race is such a staple in the DC/NoVA running community (along with the Cherry Blossom 10 miler and MCM – both of which I have done).

Yesterday morning I went to review the registration page with plans to register after my half, but then yesterday afternoon I was reading my friend A’s blog. A is taking a break from running after a killer fall and winter season of kicking ass and taking names which lead to some fatigue and minor injury. In her post A mentioned all the spring races that she was going to bow out of, so I figured I’d shoot her an email offering to take her Parkway Classic bib off her hands since she could transfer through the end of the month. A super generously offered to give me the bib (I just needed to cover the $20 transfer fee) and she was thrilled to have the bib going into the hands of a first time runner of this race.

The transfer process was super easy, just completed it this morning!  

At my Oristand, standing desk. I need to get into using it for at least 90 min a day. Today is March 1, my commitment starts now!

Went to barre/pilates today at lunch! Yesterday I went to yoga at lunch and body pump after work. Body is feeling good after the 12 miles I ran on Sunday.

I have a 10K on Sunday which will be 2 weeks out from my half. And naturally I already have my eye on a local 10miler on 4/24.
