Move4word with Coach K

Today this scripture REIGNS today. I am so humbled and grateful I had to sit back and think about it. I completed 3 marathons in 56 days and 2 of them within 10 days of each other! All of this with hardly any recovery time, while working full time , taking care of home, promoting my business and still training. Once you start a goal that has been truly put on your heart and you turn it over don't tell me it can't be done. These runs were not great times but that was not my goal it was to finish! Yes, there was pain and emotion but I got it done. Ran my race and when I was hurting and made every reason to give up that is when I would dig deep and say Lord its on you, usually around mile 20. LOL! So Praise will be continually from my lips. Thank you Lord! http://bible.cc/philippians/ 4-13.htm

I am really big in cautioning others that I train about resting but I am bad about resting myself. Rest is paramount to healing and getting stronger. So this week I am taking my own advice I am resting from running. It's hard because unrealistic fear starts to mess with your head. You start to think if I stop i have to start over. I will lose my stamina. That is when you then say brain SHUD it because if I don't rest all of that will happen. So give you body some love and give it a break from the routine. Believe me you will see a difference! Coach Keisha Run smart, run safe but run it dirty!!!

I have ran and paced multiple half marathons but there is NOTHING compared to running a full. For me it was a true test of humbleness. I always race alone, well me and The Lord. There were times during this race I cried, I cussed, I prayed, I screamed, I lost focus and I wanted to just STOP because my hip was burning and I was tired because I had just gotten over a stomach virus on Sat! It was during those times the word not ME but THEE struck my heart. It's times like this where if you saw me during the race at some points my arms were stretched out to the Father! Towards the end The Lord said dig deep I am carrying you!! You spoke my words from Isaiah and Hebrews now MOVE! Woolawd!! The pain never left my hip but I was able to keep moving. It was like Paul speaking in the torn in his side!! Be blessed all!!

I am starting something new. I currently have meatless Monday but I want to add another themed food day. Make it RAW Tuesday!! RAW...yes raw! What is raw? In short eating raw is consuming uncooked nutrient dense living foods. Plants, sprouted beans, grains, fruits, veggies, raw nuts unprocessed while foods. An example of a raw breakfast can consist of fruit, granola, protein shakes with almond milk. Organic peanut butter on Ezekiel bread. Others foods you can eat guacamole, salas, pics de gallo, mango & a acorn chutney with raw veggies. Chickpeas on a bread of salad greens serves with lime juice and olive oil. Although Greek yogurt is not raw I would add it in for the nutritional factor. Look I will do raw but I'm not totally 100% raw. I think for me raw day should be at least 85% raw day. So lets try this together pick a day and make it Raw!!!!

Abs are meant to be lean 2013! This is a 3 week progression. I can do better I really have been slacking on my nutrition and water. When I takey next picture My abs may not be as pronounced because I have been lazy. We all are lazy at times but the point is you recognize that and keep stepping. So back to our Feb abs challenge!

Woe out! I can't even stand tall but i loves me some Bikram! Everyone needs a little Bikram or some form of yoga in their lives. Strength and flexibility is needed in our lives for healing and building. We are charged with taking care of this temporary shell we call our bodies.

22.15 completed yesterday in 4:29. Nice and slow endurance run. I am so glad I am in my taper week. Running/training for these distances take so much time out of my life. I want my Saturdays back. Lol
