Day #42-Sunday
My last five days remain. I don’t actually plan on leaving
the blog scene after my journey. I hope to continue teaching, motivating and
sharing my health and fitness journey with you. I can tell you that I won’t
post daily. There was a crazy girl in my head when I said I would do that…it’s
very time-consuming. But, I do hope to post at least weekly!
Many people ask when my next “race” is. UUuummm YUCK- I hate
running. (No offense to all my runner friends- more power to you!) So then I
was thinking about maybe trying to train for some kind of running event, but
then I was like…uuummmm no. I was looking at pictures of runners and something very interesting came to my attention.
Have you ever looked at the difference between the body of a marathon runner
and the body of a sprinter? The sprinter’s physique is much more toned and definitely
has more muscle. (Please understand, I don’t want to look like an olympic
sprinter; just more like a sprinter
than a L O N G distance runner.) So, no marathons for me…for now. I feel like I
do more sprints during my HIIT workout anyway- did you know HIIT for periods of
20-30 minutes produces more fat burning potential during and after the workout
than running for over an hour!
Go HIIT yourself. I wish

I started to try to broach this subject in our "Group" one day but just couldn't find the words to make it make sense. I think I need to stop with the running and go back to some lifting.
