6 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting My Fitness Journey
1. Consistency You’ve probably heard about this word before, but yes, consistency is the main key. I remember two years ago when I first started working out I thought if you workout for one day that same day you would see results. In fact, I was wrong. You will not see results and especially if you’re working out from home because in order for you to see results is to add weight and create muscle it’s the only way.

Inhale, Run, and Breathe
I never expected to become an avid runner. When I was younger I dreaded the idea of running, complaining endlessly in gym class, and shrugging off the exercise as nothing. I could never stand the pacers test (a routine in gym class where you had to run and see how many levels you could achieve in the allotted time). Now, I have come to love running.

Learning to breathe:
Scales are my nemesis. Not because I truly struggle with weight, thanks for birdlike genetics on my mother’s side, but because generally speaking, as I approach my mid-40’s my weight has decided to settle comfortably in a “healthy” zone, and just hang out. I used to monitor the numbers with an eagle eye, frantically trying to evaluate the impact of dietary changes, workouts, etc.. to no avail. The only adjustment was upward, as I inevitably fell victim to the Corona relapse. But even that was lackadaisical, as if the even effort of gaining weight seemed like too much work.

The Paradox of Running
A knot starts to tighten in my stomach as I tie the final knot in the laces of my running shoes. Here comes the internal battle I face every time I set out for a training run. On the outside I look like a runner with my hair in a ponytail, my Brooks running shoes, and my Lululemon running pants (just kidding, I'm a teacher, my running pants are from Target.) On the inside, however, the internal dialogue begins.

Electronic Stallion
Little droplets definitely expel from my mouth. But I’m all alone. No mask. No six feet distancing. It’s just me in my electronic stallion: the household ready stationary bicycle. I’m like a cyclist at the Tour de France. No I’m not. I’m a retired Marine with prescribed psych drugs that continue to challenge me, even in the early am.

Is now the perfect time to ditch the car and take up cycling?
Since the UK’s lockdown was announced in March, every one of us has been spending more time indoors to help prevent the spread of Covid-19. Although this has caused an unwanted disruption in our everyday lives and routines, what better of a time to make some positive changes in our lifestyles? Now, we have more time than ever to dedicate towards such a challenge, and, making changes to the way we get from A to B is a great place to start!

Run Because You Want To
Coming up on my 6th anniversary as a runner, my partner asked me what I’ve learned in my years running. As I scroll back through the memories - my first race, my first half marathon, running along the Mediterranean, running along Lake Austin - I am hit with a tiny remnant of the feeling of each run. From the beginning, running had it’s rewards and it’s cost, it’s triumphs and defeats. I’d like to think I’ve improved, or at least stopped making so many mistakes. Running used to be something I had to do rather than something I got to do. Now, I am free when I run. I am capable when I run. I accomplish something every run. Here’s how I have learned to change my mentality.
