So, I signed up for The Glorun 5k first week of April after my co workers asked me if I wanna join their team. I’ve always wanted to try one of those marathons because I know it was for health and fitness and I know it was gonna be fun too.
The event was Last Saturday At the RFK Stadium, Washington, D.C.
Even though the weather did not cooperate with us because it was cold (40’s) and rainy. That kinda made me ask myself, should I still go?
My team and I was texting each other asking if we were still going since the weather was bad. But hey, everybody was in unison saying “we will still go.” That did not stop us. We went with our running outfits Prepared with our running jackets.
At the stadium, there were still a lot of people surprisingly. They still had their safari and glowy outfits on. Because there was a costume contest after the run.
The event was very organized, they had the stage and the DJ for the after party. There was a safari themed photo booths, water station halfway the race track and food trucks so nobody will get hungry before and after the run. Kudos to the event organizer!!
I was not a runner, by the way. I exercises differently. You don’t have to be one to join. Most of the people ran, walked, ran, took pictures along the way, ran, walked and ran to the finish line. The good thing about this was that when you see people running with you. It motivates you to keep going.
I recommend this event to everybody. You’ll definitely going to enjoy.
I will try the other marathon next time. I’m gonna get my family and friends to join. You can check out in the internet what events they have in your area. Try www.active.com and type your area and it will give you The calendar of running activities. Check out the dates and sign up.
Overall, I should say, it was a fun fitness experience!
Can’t wait to hear some of your experiences too. Have fun!
It’s the Michael kors tote bag.
Being functional and fashionable at the same time is a good combination because most times it is either or. I am a type of person where I always carry a lot of stuff with me including my wallet, makeup pouch, cellphone charger. But being a mom, you are not only carrying stuff for yourself. We have to bring our kid stuff with us too.
That is why I fell in love with this bag. It let me put all my personal things plus my sons wet wipes, diapers, extra clothes, milk, snacks… In a fashionable way.
This one is very helpful when you’re traveling. I’ve used this when we traveled Abroad.
This bag is very durable. I’ll give this a rating of 4/5.
Does any of you also have a bag that they love which serves double purpose like this one?
Please share. I would love to hear them and know the product..
As I have been thinking about it. Do I need to change my lifestyle…. A healthy one?
It all started when I got pregnant with my second child. And I have been following one of the celebrity back home on Instagram and she has been talking about Health and fitness. She still looks good, very fit and healthy. She was truly an inspiration. So I said to myself. I wanna be like that, fit and healthy. And you know being pregnant made me feel so insecure because everything is getting big. I know it is just normal because we are carrying this precious child. And it also normal to feel that way. Most of the mom’s will be able to relate.
Second, I came across this article talking about health is wealth. Which is soon true. How can you work and enjoy life if your sick.
Third, being in the healthcare field. I noticed that there an increase of younger patients being hospitalized due to poor lifestyle. They made me realize that if I will not take Care of myself now. What will I be like 10 years from now. I still want to be able to keep up with my kids needs. Not just financially but also emotionally, mentally and physically.
The question now is how do I start? The way I work is. I always have a to do list. I started adding a lot of fruits and veggies with my diet. I also started drinking lemon water everyday and added Zumba to the side. Just following it on YouTube. So everything can be done at home. I also have a gym at home that I can use for weights. Instead of eating white rice I eat brown and quinoa.
Little by little I tried. It did not happen over night but now it became my habit. I even started downloading the nike training app. It helped me setup a program depending on my goals.
And just last lent. I gave up chocolates, everything, chips, fast food, pastries. I whole lot. And I just thought after 40 days. Whew! I did it. I thought those were the food I cannot live without. Now I eat chips, chocolate in moderation every once in a while hoping this will be a part of my lifestyle.
I just noticed too that I am stronger, my endurance has gotten better, I don’t get sick easily, my skin looks healthier. And when I did my annual physical exam. All my lab work was A ok!
This is becoming my habit now. And I feel good about it. Now I am trying to help my husband make that change too as he himself has to work on improving his diet. As per his doctor’s order. Then we can be a good example for our kids too.
If I can do it. I bet all of you can do it too. Discipline and determination is the key to a healthy start. You just gotta do it. You don’t have to wait for the New year to make it your Resolution. I just want to inspire all of you that everything is possible. You just have to think positive and just do it. Make it happen. I doesn’t happen overnight but it will happen.
Life has a lot of good things in store for us. If you have a healthy mind and body. Then you’ll be able to enjoy life to the fullest.
