Team Tough Chik

I'm not running until later, but want to blog now.  So Tuesday's Tunes are on hold this week.  I'm taking a gamble on my run today.  When I went to bed I told myself that AS SOON as the kids were at school I was going to run & get it done & over with.  I was even planning a longer run.  Like, hopefully 10+ miles.  When I woke up it was raining & it continued to rain for the morning hours.  It's not really that heavy of a rain & I'm not exactly 100% sugar so I'm not sure why I decided to wait, but I did.  It's looking like this afternoon things will clear up a little so I'm planning to head out then.  Worse case scenario I can go to the Y & hit the treadmill.  But for 10+ miles......nooooooooooo!  Hence, my gamble.  Keeping my fingers crossed that the radar is being truthful & this ickines is on it's way out.

Last week I hit another all time high mileage week with 57.25 miles.  My shortest run was 3.25 miles.  It's taking a lot of time & my body is a little testy with the increase, but it's holding out & overall I'm handling it quite well.  As of today, the middle of the month, I've ran over 100 miles & I'm on track to have my highest mileage month ever.  I'm pretty motivated to really crank up the miles to meet my Run This Year goal.  I'd rather get ahead of the game now then wait to cram it all in in December.  So I continue to run, run, run

For the last 2 years I have been a part of a virtual racing team called Tough Chik.  This has been one of the best & fun things I have ever done!!  Registration is open RIGHT NOW for the 2014 season!  Click HERE to read all about joining the team & HERE to sign up/purchase a team package.  For as little as $30(ish) (smallest package, plus some shipping) you can be part of this amazing group of women!  If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me!  I will happily tell you all about Tough Chik & would love you to be a part of TEAM TOUGH CHIK 2014!  Sorry, guys, this is for my lady friends only!  You can tell your lady friends about it to, or maybe your wife, daughter, sister, etc.  Registration is only open 1 month of the year so don't hesitate, registration will close on November 1.






What makes you tough?

We are half way through October.  How is your month going?

  1. Some days I feel tough after completing my workout - other days I don't feel tough at all.

  2. Team Touch Chik looks like a super cool thing!!!! What makes me tough.. I am a very busy person a wife mom and work full time and also following my dreams of EMT and fire fighter. Its a struggle but I make it all work and fall together. Being a fire fighter in pretty much a man only world is tough but I don't let them get the best of me. I may be a girl but I can do almost everything they can. Being 5ft tall does limit somethings.

    1. I've been thinking lately about being a fire fighter. Not really sure I want that as my "career", but the thought intrigues me. I'd love to just be able to say I can pass the physical fitness test. I've heard it's really hard. Sounds like a challenge to me!

      I'm 5ft tall too!! :)

    2. Well I am a volunteer fire fighter and our dept and most around us that are rural don't have to pass fitness test. But it is cool being the only girl on the dept :)
