Happy Spring/The Mojo Has Returned

Well, first day of spring here, people--Look how quick that was!  I know my friends and family in the Northeast just got some more snow dumped on them yesterday--but here in Austin it's been spring for a while.  I am channeling warm weather vibes your way, guys---receive it with open arms!

Glad to see people responding to the Chobani giveaway so well.  I thought this would be the case, so that's why I'm welcoming entries until next weekend.  Remember, you can put an entry in EVERYDAY of the contest.

I'm such a giveaway whore.  I love to review and give stuff away that I can put my support behind.  All these companies have been so awesome to the blog--and I've got even more coming up!

Okay, so I'd just like to report that my workout mojo is back!  Though it's been quite warm and I've taken to running inside on the treadmill--I mentioned last time that I was incorporating more yoga for strength and flexibility and I think that's really been good for my head.  Mentally when it came to workouts (well, my workouts were just runs, really.) I was feeling beat, and even though I know what it's done for me--I had no motivation.

Weirdly enough, I was on facebook (PS: Goforkyourselves has a Facebook page now--but I'm not crazy about Facebook, honestly.)  and saw a TeamSparkle ad that reinvigorated me.

Right on, sparkle sisters.

I read that, and I was like--"Well, fuck, Krissy--what are we doing? I can sit and feel like shit for a half an hour--or I can run a 5k upstairs."

Needless to say...

Anyways, I felt the need to let ya'll know..Between the yoga and running, I'm feeling good.  I have no idea what the scale says--but everything fits just as well, so I'm good :)

Started doing my long runs again last week with 7+, and I'll do 8ish this week at some point.  Gearing up for the 10 miler in 3 weeks--woot!  I also signed up for a 5k in May--just because I miss those little local races--and this one is called "The Ants in Your Pants 5k"...so I mean, obviously...

I tend to smoke local races--so I'm stoked.  Lots of speed work at home--cranking up the tready to 7+mph on the shorter runs.  That's pretty fucking fast for me, guys.  I think my Brooks had some smoke coming out of the soles after running at 7.5, haha.


Anyways, hope everyone is doing well--Follow me on Twitter with the button to the left--I love to hear from each of you--Comments/Concerns/Bitching--all of it!

Time to hit the road.

Peace, Love, and Go Fork Yourselves,

Krissy :)
