Hey guys, Trying to get on here regularly, it is just always crazy during the week. I've been keeping up with my workouts (Tracy Steen) and everything else. My oldest son is now a junior in high school. He wants to play college baseball, so we have started the recruitment process (emailing...

Hey everyone, Remember me? I am sorry I fell off the face of the planet. Belinda contacted me on Facebook, which I do not like to go on much anymore, just here and there for quick checks on a few groups I am in. Last year got to be too much for me as far as teaching half the class in person and...

Hey guys. I am sorry I am on and off here. I just never have the energy or time. . . I love my students this year, but that is about it. Teaching in person AND livestreaming and teaching kids at home at the same time is mentally exhausted. I have been falling asleep at 7:30-8 every night. Plus...

Hey guys, crazy busy week, but I managed to get some runs and workouts in. A lot going on at work. I am so thankful to have a bit of a break this week, I only go in for three days. We are having my dad and sister's family over for Thanksgiving. Luckily, DH and the boys are off Wednesday, so they...

Hey guys. Yesterday I did a 4 mile run. Today I did a five mile run. Next week I think I will do one long run at the 10 mile loop. It will be the longest run I have done since the virtual marathon. It all depends on how my shin feels. Nothing else to report. Had a pretty boring weekend. I am...

Hey guys. So My workout today was 4 exercises, 100 reps each: air squats, push-ups, sit ups and banded walks. I finished within 20 minutes, warm up and all, and it was a great workout. I feel a pump in my arms, butt, legs and abs already. We got a message from my principal to be ready to go...

Hey guys. Got in another run today, 4 miles. I hate that it gets dark so early now. It is hard to get a run in right after work and I know I have to if I want to run in daylight. Yesterday I did a CF style workout for abs, arms and legs. I am off tomorrow for Veteran's Day. I plan on taking...

Hey guys. What a week. Monday of last week was my last workout until Sunday. I was a bit paralyzed, I think, from the election. I stayed up until 4 in the morning on election night. I called in sick and watched the news the entire next day. Went to work exhausted Thursday and Friday. Felt relief...

Hey guys. My legs were super sore on Sunday. Maybe I went back into running too fast? I took a rest day. Today I did two 10 minute AMRAPS (as many rounds as possible). First ten minutes was 5 push ups, 10 squats, 15 sit-ups. Second AMRAP was 5 weighted step ups (20# plate), 10 G2OH (ground to...

Hey guys. Did a 5 mile run this afternoon. Getting ready for Halloween and straightening out the house. Not much else to report. Deb- Happy Anniversary! Yesterday I saw that it did snow upstate, crazy. We have to teach with windows open for air circulation, and it was freezing in the...

Hey guys. Today I did a 5 mile run. The weather was perfect for it. I love the fall. I cannot believe it is only Tuesday. It feels like Thursday to me. . . a long week I guess. Deb- the gym did reopen, but unfortunately, lost a lot of members and closed down last month. I never went back...

Two days in a row. .. this is a record for me lately. Today I did a CF METCON style workout that I found on pinterest. It consisted of 4 7 minute rounds of AMRAPS (as many rounds as possible). The first round was 7 v-ups/7 push-ups (I think I did 9 rounds). Then the second round was 7 step ups...

Hey guys. I took the whole week off from working out to get a full recovery from the virtual marathon. My body definitely needed the rest. Today was my first run in a week. I did 4 miles with a 9 min per mile pace. I felt good and my legs were ready to go. The weather got cooler here, finally. I...

Hey guys. Sorry I have not been checking in. It is still so crazy with work and I really spend so much time on my computer AFTER teaching all day, that I just am too tired to do much of anything else online. My husband is happy because I haven't ordered anything in a few weeks, lol. My training...

Hey guys. Twice in one week. . . I am here. I ran 5 miles today. The running really does help alleviate the stress. So much to stress about these days. . . work, covid, election, economy. . . all crazy. Anyway. . . did I tell you we got Disney Plus? I really have been enjoying it. They are...
