  • Call me Aunty Steph!

    I went for a short run yesterday morning on the trail. I did about 2 or so miles but with the heat and humidity, it felt more like 5 or 6. I ended up walking for the last part but at least I got it in. Great workout today although it was already a hot…

  • It IS worth it

    This heat is such an extra challenge for me. It seems to just zap any extra energy I may have – making tough workouts that much tougher. I do have to say though – I am happy I get it over with early in the morning. I can not imagine having to go in the…

  • Here’s to Improvement

    I have said this before – getting up can be tough and this morning was no exception. That alarm went off and my brain searched for a reason to turn it off and roll over, but it couldn’t find any excuse good enough – it is so automatic now, I can’t even find a good…

  • Feelin Hot Hot Hot

    It was a hot one today. Man oh man – when I started to lose focus on my workout, I was feeling my workout bottoms sticking to my legs. Yuck.  But I did finish the workout in 30:19 which is :19 seconds longer than I should have which pissed me off a bit. I find…
