Fitness Friday || September In Review

Welcome to Fitness Friday # 64

Celebrate fitness. Celebrate good health. Celebrate friends. Celebrate your passion.

September ended up being mostly about health. Or more specifically about breathing. As a result mileage was lower than I wanted. No worries. A low mileage month is worth feeling so much better and being able to just breathe. Anyone else now have Anna Nalick’s Breathe (2AM)  stuck in their head?

September Fitness

Running – Out of frustration, for the first time ever, I seriously considered quitting running.  Once I knew what the problem was and what I had to do I felt good again. I loved running again. Being stubborn persistent paid off!

Total Runs: 13
Total Miles: 86.84
Total Speed Workouts: 1 Ugh!
Total Miles In 2012: 845.60

Twelve In Twenty Twelve:

#8 – Indianapolis Women’s Half Marathon – 2:18

#9 – Air Force Half Marathon – Half PR 2:05! That’s 2 minutes off my half PR of 2:07 in August

Strength Training – I finished the 90-day Les Mills Pump Challenge!

Total Workouts Strength/Abs: 10
Total Workouts Yoga: 9

And I can’t not mention this…

September Health - On September 9 I had my first full on exercise induced asthma attack. Freaked me out! It turned out to be a few weeks before I was comfortable running by myself again. Happy to report all is good. 2 puffs and I’m good to go for about 6 hours. Not long after everything seemed fine I either had a cold or allergies. Down and out for almost a week with no running or working out. No worries. Not frustrated. Not discouraged.

September Obsessions
