imprompTuesday - Transformation Tuesday (Part Two)

Hello Everyone!

I hope that you are all having a great start to your May so far and are staying warm (especially in areas that have been getting snow at a very unusual time)!

A very happy coincidence happened this weekend and I wanted to share with everyone ANOTHER awesome celebration.  On April 30, 2016 I took a video of my chin-up and pull-up progress.  On Sunday, April 30, I asked my husband to take some video of my chin-up and pull-up progress without even realizing that it was literally one year later.  How crazy is that??!!  I decided that it was a sign that I should share this awesome progress with you all.

Check out my progress videos:

Fitness Friday - Improved Physical and Mental Stamina


This week has become a week of celebrations and today's celebration really helps to reinforce a point that I made in a previous post about variety in your workouts.  You see, I'm not a big runner, but I do enjoy going out and challenging myself to a wog (walk/jog) to just see how my training is going in my overall fitness/stamina. 

So today was one of those days, I just felt this need to run.  I went out to the track near our house and just started to jog. The entire time I kept thinking, "If I could just make it to XYZ location, I will let myself walk for a little bit." Then it became, "Well, I'm feeling pretty good...so let's go one more lap." And then another and another.  I just couldn't believe that I kept jogging without stopping.  Since mile 1 was partially walked from my house to the track, I decided if I could just run one full mile without stopping it would give me an accurate picture of how fast I could now run a mile.

Here is what I found out...
