Spring Fever

Tuesday Workout Wrap-Up: AM: 12min Plyometric Tabata, PM: 3 mile run home from work Wednesday Workout Wrap-Up: Evolution Class

Where is Spring already?  We got some actual sunshine yesterday and it was such a tease.  Today is gloomy and rainy and gross.  I am ready for some nice warm weather!  With Easter this Sunday and Opening Day next Friday, Spring Fever has officially hit me!


In case you were more curious about the "Beach Babe" meal & fitness plan, here is an overview:


I must confess that I missed my AM workout yesterday - but I rode my bike to work...so I am counting that as a little something.  Plus this afternoon I got ambitious and took the stairs up to my office...that's 9 floors.

This week is the final week of round 2 of Evolution.  So, the pressure is on!  I have a number that I want to see on the scale on Saturday, so any extra calorie burn I can fit in this week is happening.  I took a walk yesterday during my lunch break - to a new Marshall's that opened up a few blocks away.  Shopping burns calories, right?  I did get a really cute new workout top...so win-win.

I also realized yesterday that I have a half marathon in 1 month!  I am excited for this one for several reasons.

1) It's in my hometown! (Rochester, NY)

2) The elevation rocks!  In fact, it's pretty much the opposite of Baltimore.
Rochester - aka downhill!
Baltimore - all uphill!
3) I am running it with my cousin, Megan. She has been training like crazy - and will probably kick my butt.  It's her first race and I am so excited to run it together!

4) We are dedicating the run for my grandma and are making special shirts to run in.She is going through Chemo now - so 13.1 miles is a cakewalk, right!?

5) I don't really have a goal time in mind...but considering the course, and running this race 20lbs lighter than my last half....things could go my way!

  1. Ahh when exactly and where is the race?? Maybe Harrison and I can come cheer you on! That is, as long as it's at least 45 degrees and sunny :)

  2. OMG that elevation - WHY am I not doing this race? That sounds perfect! And I love the idea of running for your grandma - that was all I thought about in the last 6 horrible miles of my last marathon!

    I would say going up NINE flights of stairs certainly counts as a workout and also helps your whooty.
