    Ok i have lost all motivation these last few weeks. I need to kick my tush into gear today. Since i havent done h+c in weeks i believe i will just start body beast on april 1st with the rest of you. My hubby has been slacking too and that is the program he really wants to do. Im going to go browse BOD and see what to do untill then.

    These long runs are getting long. I recently started to get middle back pain after about 5 km. My research point to tense upper back & shoulders. I slowed the pace quite a bit today & did back stretches every km, more frequently near the end. It helped a lot but will see my husband’s physiotherapist next week.

    Have a great weekend!!

    Tuesday - 4 km tempo run
    Wednesday - rest
    Thursday - 3 km, includes 4 x hill of doom
    Friday - 4 km steady run

    It is Palm Sunday, so have to squeeze my Sunday run in this evening. Moved around some runs as there will be a lot of rain mid week. Otherwise, this is much the same as last week, just a bit more hill of doom time.

    Had a tough week last week and am hoping to get back to business starting today.

    I worked out only 3 days last week. I tried a leg workout in 80 day obsession, did Hammer power from H & C, and a yoga session with Adrien on YouTube.

    Since I am starting body beast next week I am still kinda in limbo and am planning on mixing it up this week again but will make sure to get in all 5 workout days.

    A new week, a new start.

    Even though the temperature is hovering a few degrees above freezing, it has been sunny & I really felt hot by the end of these runs. It is time to put away the winter running gear and switch over to spring stuff!

    Had kids home today with ear infections, so doctor’s office and a lot of juggling. I managed to get this run in this evening. Am relieved to have a rest day tomorrow.

    I heard from from Krystina last night and she was on her way back from Mexico. Yay! I have missed her!

    She agreed that Monday would be better to start the Body Beast calendar since today is Easter Sunday So tomorrow is our start day!

    I am glad since I have a busy day planned but I am totally ready to get kick it into gear on Monday.

    Happy Easter everyone!

    I'm not going to to Body Beast. JK April fools!

    I'm back from vacation. It was wonderful, but now to get back into my routine. I'm going to start BB today because I'm just sitting here drinking coffee. I want to get all the workouts in and may need a day off later this week -then I will still be in the same schedule.

    I really want to follow this BB lean plan and finish in the 84 days. Going to do my best. My husband is going to start also so I think it will be helpful.

    My sister want's to run a couple days a week. Im Going to take her up on any offer to get outside and do that also.

    Sunday- chest/tris
    Monday- legs
    Tuesday- back/bis
    Wednesday- cardio/abs
    Thursday-shoulders
    Friday-rest
    Saturday- chest/tri's

    Let's go April!

    HAPPY EASTER MY FIERCE FRIENDS!

    Sunday - 4 km steady run
    Monday - 4 km tempo run
    Tuesday - 6 km steady run
    Wednesday - 4 km hill training, 5 x hill of doom
    Thursday - 12 km long run
    Friday - rest
    Saturday - rest

    Happy Easter everyone! Was pleased to squeeze in today’s run after a yummy but caloric Easter brunch. Saw my husband’s physio last week and it was a great session where she assessed strength, flexibility, and even my actual running. Skipping her technical terms, my recent upper back pain on longer runs is due to weaker front & side hips (so my back is compensating), and lack of pivot flexibility from the waist. I have 3 simple exercises to repeat daily and am already feeling a difference. Welcome back to Jamie & Krystina! Happy April!!

    ALRIGHT !!!!!
    It’s GO TIME Ladies (and husbands )

    I just read through all of your posts since I’ve been gone and I’m super happy to see you all back here going strong ! It seems like we all sort of had our own type of month of March and that this April Project is ON !
    I love having a plan. It just works. Doesn’t it ? And adapting that said plan when life throws things at us is what makes us a success in the long term and in this new friggen awesome lifestyle that we are living.
    Right ?

    Ok so vacation was pretty fantastic, like really, like yeah.
    I’m totally repeating next year.
    Yes. That’s happening.

    But NOW is Body Beast Lean time !
    I’m pumped.
    Be ready lol
    • Monday - Build Chest and Tris + 30 mins Netflix Treadmill
    • Tuesday - Build Legs
    • Wednesday after work - Build Back and Bis
    • Thursday after work - Beast Cardio + Abs
    • Friday after work - Build shoulders
    • Saturday after work - Build Chest and Tris
    • Sunday after work - Rest

    We’ve got 3 great months of this. I’ve only done 2.5 weeks of the calendar as a trial as you know so after that, we’ll all be experiencing it together for the first time Day by Day, which is so very cool.

    One last thing. And I know Bianca will back me up on this.
    I STRONGLY recommend taking before pics. I know I know.... I get it.
    Trust me.
    You don’t need to show them to ANYONE. It’s for you... to see.... at some point... down the road.... where we are now April 2018. They are a POWERFUL UNDENIALBE TOOL that you WILL want to see again, with a different set of eyes, later down the road.

    I did it.
    So did B.
    Tough. No joke. Ohhhh yes. But damn. So empowering.

    I love you guys and I’m really super happy to have you all here and I truly feel blessed to have you as my fit family.

    Love
    Seriously tanned K
    xoxo

    Yay @Jamie6636 !
    I’m so glad you love B.B. and so does your husband. We are in the ring, with the boys, doing big girl things right ?!
    Power rocks.
    This thing is happening.

    Before pics ! Awesome !
    Now put them away from your eyes and don’t look at them again until it’s time.

    HFM Training Week 9

    Sunday - 4 km steady run
    Monday - rest
    Tuesday - 6 km steady run

    Wednesday - 12 km long run
    Thursday - 4 km hill training, 5x hill of doom
    Friday - 4 km tempo run
    Saturday - rest

    Some weeks, it feels so great, and others are a struggle. So this week is definitely a struggle. Am fighting a stomach bug. My husband and older son have it. Could not run yesterday, but managed a 6 km today. Some big, bad wind storm is coming to Toronto tonight, but will try for my longer run later tomorrow when it is over. I just want to crawl into bed but have several hours of parenting to go!

    This quote from Coach Steve is very fitting:
    There comes a point in every race, when you’re near the end and you’re tired and you’re sore, when you face a serious decision. You can let it beat you. You can wish it were over and pray for the finish line to finally bring this misery to an end. Or, you can attack – you can reach down deep inside and even though you’re tired, and even though you’re sore, and even though it hurts, somewhere in your gut you find another gear, somehow you find a little bit of strength and you press on, and push triumphantly to the finish. - Clara Hughes

    Lisa !
    You, Coach Steve, and Clara are totally right.
    It's a choice. Always is a choice.
    Sometimes it takes hitting the wall to find out that there is still lots that can be done beyond the wall. I know my return to Leg Day sure tested that for me.
