Exercise!

So this semester I am taking a kickboxing class which is really fun but it also really kicking my butt!! My legs ACHE during and after that class. But I know that I am getting stronger after every class! I also have been running on the days I don't have kickboxing. I try to run 3 or 4 times a week. So far it has not been an easy start but I know I need to push myself and I always feel so good after my run is over! Bailey and I have signed up for a 15k, a what??, I know right? who has heard of a 15k?? It is 9.3 miles. I really wanted to do a half marathon but they didn't have any that worked for me because in May I am going to Rwanda!! I found this race because I wanted to do a bigger race and it seems really fun so I asked my best friend and we signed up!! Now I have to train for it so I can actually run the whole thing...yikes!

Before Kickboxing! Ready to WORK.

We also decided we want to do a half together. Bailey has already signed up for one this March but she wants to another one this summer. We decided to do the women's rock half marathon at the end of August! I am really excited to be signed up for these races but I am also scared out of my mind! haha Can I really run that long?!? The thing with running is that it is ALL mental, which sucks for me because I can talk myself out of things easily. I suck at pushing myself! Which also really sucks because it makes training really hard. I don't have a running buddy now that Bailey left so I have to try and push myself! So far I have not been so great at this, but I am signed up for these races so I better suck it up and get running!

One of my favorite things to eat!! Homemade granola, blueberries
 and almond milk. Literally, so darn good!!

I am glad that I have some time before my races so I can build up my mileage. My goal is to run 6-7 miles by the end of February. I know I can do it, I just have to convince my brain that I can!
