Hello,
I am a mother of 3 just getting back into working out after doing 4 half marathons and being frustrated with my times. It probably would have helped if I had truly worked-out harder with each of them! I am however getting ready to do Baltimore Half again in October through Team in Training (Anne Arundel Team). I love being a part of something bigger than myself! I have lost 2 cousins and a brother-in-law to Leukemia, so as you can imagine this is very important to me. Getting fit is a bonus! It used to be easy for me to lose the baby weight after having each of my children. But now my baby is 7 and I still have yet to lose the weight. I have done Body-for-Life and lost 70 pounds after my 2nd child, but just can't seem to get into going to the gym 6 days a week. I am having trouble getting myself motivated to do much of anything these days. I have been unemployed for 2 years now thanks to this lovely recession and that is not without putting an average of 10-15 resumes out every week. For a little while this summer I did a boot camp 1 day a week and lost a little weight, but since coming back from a family vacation (3 weeks ago), I haven't gone back. I was also getting into going to a pumping iron class 2x a week and a spin class 2x a week. I have yet to really do any "formal" training for my half marathon and am starting to panic. One of these half marathons I would love to be able to run more than walk! I am open to any suggestions for motivation and workouts!! Let me know what you think!
Thanks and hope everyone is having a great day!!!
