Running

Today, hamstring girl has a name...her name is Beth. She is 32 and looks rocken awesome for having 2 kids! I finally got up the nerve to ask her how she does it. How she looks the way that she does. She replied to me that she has been running since she was 16 years old, she goes to the gym 6-7 days a week and she eats healthy. Well I am doing all of that right now. I know that it will take time for everything to come off, but it will! I told her that she was my inspiration and that is what is keeping me going 6 days a week. She was so nice and very humble about herself. So I have a new friend! Yay!!

I feel like I am starting to have a little more endurance when doing cardio now. My heart rate was a little high today, but not crazy high. I really need to get myself a heart rate monitor to wear. I felt like I could stay on the elliptical machine all day today. LOL no not really!

I ran early Sunday morning. I will tell you that it was really nice getting up and getting out the door before the sun came up. It was nice smelling the early morning smells. It was a cold run, but I did get 2 miles under the belt. That put my workouts up to 7 days last week. It felt good being able to say that. I just have to run a little more so it doesn't hurt so much. I have been swimming and doing the bike a little more than running. I just don't like running on the treadmill. It is so boring. I did however download a DJ mix on my ipod. It is a good beat and it kept me going!!

So Running, Lifting, Eating Right and Having a Positive Attitude is how Beth aka Hamstring Girl does it!

I am getting more and more excited for this summer! Yes because it is swimsuit weather :)
