Naked Running….

Did that get your attention?!?!

Sorry for being MIA, I have been going through some personal things for the past couple of weeks (if we are friends on FB you might have an idea, what I am talking about) and just had no urge to post. But here I am…I can never stay away too long from you guys.

Work has been going great…I love what I do so I can’t complain…okay maybe I do when I am at the gym for over 13 hours but I digress.

And since I don’t have enough things on my plate…I decided to add one more…I am officially studying to become a Lifestyle and Weight Management Coach!

He is the best!!

Now back to my blog title….

My 1/2 marathon is just a month away and my training has been far from great…I have been emotionally and physically wiped out and sometimes the last thing I want to do is put on my sneakers and go for a run, and yesterday was no different. I had a 9 mile run scheduled and my plan was to wake up at 5 am and try to knock it out before heading to the gym…but seriously who am I trying to kid? My bum was too scared to go out at the time for a run so instead I hit snooze and cuddled with my baby.

After working at the gym, I came home and kept thinking of every excuse NOT to run and it almost worked but then around 8pm I read Jess’s latest post “Say it Do it” and it was just what I needed to get my ass out the house.

And I also did something that I have never done before…I left my music at home!! Jess and I actually had a discussion about this the other day and I decided to try it out, especially since it was dark out and I wanted to be aware of my surroundings. I must admit, I enjoyed running “naked”…I got to focus on my breathing and soaked in the sounds of nature….wind blowing…crickets..people playing dominoes in their backyard etc. 

And I am happy to say that I ran my longest distance EVER! My pelvis area was hurting but I kept on going…towards the end, I kept reciting what I tell my clients “You Got This!”

Namaste…
