Let the Challenges Begin!

While reading through other blogs I follow I've noticed a reoccurring theme.... NOT BEING MOTIVATED MONDAY! I have not felt good all day so the most I have done is take a shower and read a few blogs. Good thing today was a scheduled off day! whew! ;) Well... remembering that I joined 2, yes TWO, bloggy challenges put the motivation back into the day and made me feel a tad better!


CHALLENGE #1: The HardCORE Club over at Last Mile Lounge by Jamoosh

Jamoosh actually started a seperate blog for the club and can be found HERE. The challenge is a 13 week journey to a stronger core and all you have to do is do the workout 2-3 times a week. That's it ;) lol... I decided to take "before pictures" because I got motivated afterall... Since I've become a "serious" runner, i've kinda let my other muscles go lol... sorry ex 6-pack!

DATES: August 15th - November 13th

Before #1

Before #2

CHALLENGE #2: The Legs Love Lunges Challenge over at 5 Miles Past Empty

This challenge is almost as simple as the first... do lunges at least 3 times a week... oh yeah, and take pictures of your legs if you so choose to accept her challenge. This challenge was supposed to go from August 10 thru September 10th but I pushed it back a tad since I joined late and now its going to coincide with the HardCORE Club start date: This past Sunday, August 15th

DATES: August 15th - September 15th

Before #1



Before #2 (hopefully my butt will love lunges)



Before #3 (yes, i have a big butt...)

You can still join both if you'd like! It will be so much fun... I promise!! Now, lets get fit and motivated people!!!
