Today is Blog Your Heart Out Day. What does that mean? It means bloggers are coming together to raise awareness about heart disease – the #1 killer in women.
This is an opportunity for us to take a deeper look at our diet, fitness levels and check in with our doctors.
I know when I started eating better, going to the gym more often and really just paying attention to HOW my body was feeling and WHAT it was ASKING for, I felt better. Even more important, I felt my healthiest. But even for me, this is a reminder to get my yearly check ups with my doctor or give him a call if anything doesn’t feel right. This is my health I’m talking about!
Anyway, moving onto this week’s fitness…
I had a great week of workouts. While Saturday’s race was cold, it was still great and an even better reminder that I need to spend more time running hills and speed training. I’m not looking for a crazy time on my upcoming 1/2 marathon, but changing up my runs a bit will allow me to stay interested in what I’m doing, while constantly striving to improve myself as a runner.

How are you working to stay heart healthy?
How were you able to stay active this week?
Oy, I need to work on hills & speed as well. I’m trying to make a concentrated effort, but it’s tough when I just enjoy a good run, you know?
I love the blog your heart out idea! It’s so scary how this disease is the number 1 death among women and the steps to prevent it are so simple! Still recovering from this sinus infection so my week of workouts was subpar but getting there! Have a great day Katie!
I had a great week of workouts, too! I love when that happens. 🙂 Happy Friday!
