Emma Catherine. I'm definitely not a perfect role model, I slack off, I go a week or two without a work out and i don't always eat the best of foods but i try and thats what matters.
run run run run run run run run aaaand run.
Thursday I went in for my post surgery check up and was told I couldn’t lift weights or do abdominal exercises for a month. A whole month!!! I’m dying here guys! I have been doing the November plank challenge though and I went to work yesterday and lifted some semi heavy trays of food just because I wanted to do something! I’m going to start running regularly again and hope that helps get me out of my “I can’t lift weights” blues. We shall see…

I remind myself of this over and over again on my runs…
Take the scenic route, switch up the scenery! Make every run an adventure!
- Just got home from running three miles for the first time in too long and my dad comes home right after me from work.
- Dad: Oh, did you go running? How was it?
- Me: Painful. I need to get back into my routine and stuff.
- Dad: Then I guess I shouldn't show you these...
- -- PULLS OUT A BAG OF M&MS NEXT TO HIS BEER --
- Me: .... no.
- Dad: You can just eat them some other time.
- Me: -_-
- EVERYTIME.
- It's actually quite ridiculous at how often he pulls that shit on me.
Those who have tried it what do y’all think of it? I know you have to work out intensely and often during but I already do that with P90X, running, working at a restaurant and a daycare. So having an active lifestyle to go with it is not an issue. Sooooo, yes or no guys?

Going for runs is what makes you a runner. How many marathons you’ve done or races you’ve been in does not define who is considered a runner, it’s simply going outside and going for a run that does.
I seriously slacked on drinking my water today and yesterday. As a result of my bad fitness behaviors I had a breath taking cramp/pinch under my rib cage from start to finish. I could only do half a mile before I had to stop. I held my arms over my head, pinch and held on to it, walked, breathed super slow in my nose and out my mouth but nothing could shake it! I only did one and a half miles at a 13 minute mile pace! Never again.
0 notesI am down ten pounds!!! Ten whole pounds!! Still have more to go before a healthy weight but hey, having that weight off my body and being closer to my goal is making me pretty proud of myself. (:
5 notesOne word: Blister.
Today on a run I acquired a really bad blister on the arch of my left foot. Thank goodness I get paid on Friday because it’s definitely time for some new shoooooes!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAY!!!
BUUUUUT, I WOULD LIKE Y’ALL TO HELP ME…
I need you guys to recommend some brands. I LOVE Adidas, Brooks, and Asics. But, I would like some other ideas, styles, types, etc. Help a fellow runner out and shoot me a message or something with ideas!

NINE MINUTE MILE! BAM BAM! EAT A PIECE OF HAM!
I followed it with a horrible 13:00 mile though…
Ultimate time goal is an 8:00 mile and 16:00 two-mile, like my cross country days. For my body type, size, and height that is an awesome time and I would like to get back to it sooooon!
Excuse me while I go celebrate my little accomplishment with a hot shower.
I AM A RUNNER.
- Finish the 5 mile Turkey Trot Thanksgiving Run in under an hour this year
- Half marathon by mid 2013
- Before my 22nd birthday in 2014, run a full marathon.
About to go do this, ciao bellas!
