I am currently training from a never-even-considered-that-i-might-be-a-runner to a marathon on October 6th 2014
which is probably a bigger challenge to me than any lifting goal I have set.
at this point my main focus is the running, as I become more acclimated to the mileage I will be re-adding compound, and lower body workouts.

I will be using Visalus shakes for breakfast and lunches, and whatever I want for dinner,
looking to lose a bit of the holiday weight at least as we prepare for a carribean vacation in April.

I like pictures, so I will most likely share the hikes, the farm, and house projects we have going as life has a lot going on for us and truly I need somewhere to get it out, might as well share it here :)

The plan for now will be 2 circuit training workouts per week, primary focus is upper body and core on my "rest" days from running, and a yoga/pilates/foam roll day to try and make stretching a more integral part of my training as it is a definite weak point for me.

I am all natural, I take vitamin d , biotin, b6 and cod liver oil.
an occasional bronkaid, generally 1 before each run.
Will be using thyroid hormones to combat my diagnosed hypothyroidism here eventually.

You will also see that I like to throw in the occasional challenge , including planks, squats or burpees.


Starting today - end of January the plan looks like this :

22: 3 miles - end of week 2 totalling 15 miles
23: 5miles
24: Active rest w/yoga and foam rolling
25: 4 miles
26: circuit training
27: 4 miles
28: circuit training
29: 3 miles - end week 3 , 16 miles
30: 3 miles
31: Active rest w/ yoga foam rolling

Thanks to those who have piped up.

Was hungry transitioning into Visalus, more of a habit thing, miss the chewing food and all...

Ran our 3 miles today, after a super stressful day with work stuff,
And managed to cut a minute off the overall time from last weeks 3 miler.
The runs are getting easier, and I'm definitely having to overcome some mental aspect to it currently.

Nope not at all!
Lol I thought it was ridiculous when I first heard of it, but one night while I was getting divorced and I decided I needed a "quick fix" knowing that wasn't possible i signed up...

I ended up somehow buying 3 months worth I believe and have barely used it but I did use it for a week or so this summer , and I actually lost some, loved not counting calories and was full all day ...
So because I already have it,
And because I have a cruise coming up I decided what the hell..
