Bunches of Stuff
"Tell yourself don't ask yourself" - YMCA Coach
okie dokie ~ I'm fix'n to post my vlog material that talks about what I'm doing to be a better runner. It takes HOURS to do all that and there are mega distractions in my life right now so its easier to post vlogs verses sitting down to write you my thoughts. Therefore, my blogs will be few and far between....bummer I know, just in transition so until then here are some vlogs to confirm I'm still changing through running :-)
Many Blessings,
Toni

I have it all on video but there was a college team out there, they inspired me and was tried really hard to run the best I could and I did! It was a good run ;-) The ground was soft so I just felt nice and easy.

RACE ME!!
"There's one good thing about snow, it makes your lawn look as nice as your neighbors" - Clyde Moore
haha I found this totally awesome site! www.runday.com
I put on Youtube that I was hosting a competition :-) Anyway, its world wide because Youtube is worldwide haha :-)
We'll see what happens! Oh ya, it totally snowed more than what I've seen in years and then a thin layer of ice was over the top of it. Everything is shut down. You can't run on that but it was beautiful :-)

Rookie Vlogger ~ Eppic Fail
"The race does not always go to the swift but to those who keep running" - Unknown
Well?? I had a wonderful run. Yeah! That being said, I accidentally deleted it and that is such a bummer because I had a great running story in it!!
I, on camera said this quote but I've been some what discouraged with my running because of how "un-swift" I am. I flippantly said, "I wish I could run with someone who is faster than me so I can keep up like on a steady basis" During my run, a guy who's like over 60 showed up who I hadn't seen in months! He ran a mile with me when I was training for a Marathon and had to run 10 miles and so my body just wanted to stop and 2 different times it did! It was like I can not move forward anymore! And I would panic and say to myself...you have to! Move! Well, he saw I was having a hard time and asked how many miles are you doing and I said 10. Do you know he ran a mile with me to help me!! What a nice man :-)
Anyways, on my 5th mile which should have been my hardest, he again ran it out with me! God is so good! I told him while I was running about my Youtube Channel. He didn't even know what Youtube was haha anyways, he agreed to be video taped with me for my show. He talked about how he was in the military and has been running for 25 years....It was GREAT footage!! What a wonderful story too!! Then I got home and accidentally deleted it!! Can you believe that!!! Oh well, I'm sure thats not the only great story that will happen in my running life but that stinks it got erased???
I was really frustrated by it and then I thought you know what? God had that guy meet me there and run a mile with me. God could have stopped it from being deleted....it happened anyway!! So, I've learned over the years when you try really hard at something and this kind of thing happens, its for a reason!! Sooooo....I'm at peace with that but I did run better with someone. Um, it was a neat day today :-)

Do it Anyways!!
"The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you can not do!" - Walter Bagehot
I just love that quote :-) Its not good when your are dealing with a disobedient child but when it come to people talking condescendingly to you or just being jerks....I also find a little joy in "showing them up"
Anyways, I was stuck doing errands all day and I was extremely tired from staying awake editing Vlogs...still getting used to that so I decided to do Jillian "The Shred" Its meant to do everyday for a 1/2 hour but me running then turning around and doing that....no can do! So, I'm gonna call it xtraining day and do it 2 times I figure and hour of shredding will be good ~ she uses weights!

Speed Day = Success!!
"This is not about instant gratification. You have to work hard for it, sweat for it, give up sleeping in on Sunday mornings." - Lauren Fessenden A runner
Well, today was no easy day that is for sure! Today was a speed day for me. My legs feel like jelly. But I did a warm up then I did intervals on the high school track then went down and did fartlecks at the Boling one. It was a total of 4 miles but they were good ones!

"The person who starts the race isn't the same person who finishes the race" - Marathon Sign
Well, today I finally put in some good miles!!! I was rested and over all even with this head cold felt rather good. So I went out there, Kailah and I went out there and put in 6 miles and they were good ones. I'm thinking I'm gonna up my fitness lifestyle and focus on eating good too. It sure would be nice to be thin again. I've been faithful with running. I know I can do that. But now....I need to be faithful with eating. I hope by my birthday I can look thin and fit.

Thankful for rest days
"I always loved running...it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking new sights just on the strength of your feet and courage of your lungs." - Jesse Owens
That is the fuel I'm gonna use tomorrow for my run. I need to cling onto something. It is what it is right now...and its not coming natural.
