Can you tell I’m not invested in the Super Bowl? I’ll probably have it on as “background noise” later when I’m finishing up some homework… and really so I can watch the commercials.
It’s been GORGEOUS all weekend here in New York… I think that plus all the super bowl festivities has made New York a happier place this weekend. I took full advantage of the weather this morning by going for a run for the first time in forever. The second my feet hit the Westside Highway path I couldn’t help but smile because it felt so good to be running outside.
It was one of my slower runs, but it felt a lot better than I anticipated. I ended up running almost 6 miles and felt pretty great afterwards. As of today I’m officially 12 weeks out to the Nike Women’s Half Marathon which means I should probably start running more than once a month. It’s been impossible for me to muster up some motivation and bundle up when the weather has been below freezing most of the time. To those of you that do it I have such respect for you, I, however, was not meant to live in a cold climate.
I’m not too too concerned about training overall since I have a more solid running foundation this time around compared to last summer when 5 miles was my idea of a “long run”, but I’m worried about getting in those training runs while it’s still winter. My initial plan was to “get serious” this week since it’s 12 weeks out, turns out I have a lot of classes I need to use up on my Classtivity membership by February 18th thanks to vacation and wisdom teeth. For now I’m hoping to get in 1 solid run a week in the 5-7 mile range and keep up my usual workout schedule.
I can’t not mention the AMAZING class I took yesterday at CYC with the creator himself, Keoni Hudoba.

The guy seriously oozes charisma and energy. From the moment the class started there was not a dull moment in his class and he took advantage of every moment where he could throw in theatrics. There was one part where he made us sprint for about 20 seconds, hit the break, add resistance, and then sprint again 8 times in a row. During this time he had the lights completely off and walked around the room banging out a beat on the drum. Something about having the lights off seriously motivated me to get my legs moving and not give a crap about how I looked and how much effort it took. CYC’s style might not be for everyone, but it fits my own belief that at the end of the day fitness should be fun and you should find class that motivate you. That was definitely the case for me in Keoni’s class! Amazingness.
Here’s the workout plan for the week:
Monday– Body Space Fitness: Body Camp
Tuesday: Exceed Fitness (HIIT/ strength)
Wednesday: Body Space Fitness: Metabolic Burn
Thursday: Exceed Fitness
Friday: Uplift Strength
Saturday: TBD- rest or run

Should be a good, sweaty week!
