I love that we can connect on so many social networks and use these companies to inspire and affect other people's lives.
In just a few short months I have gained a good group of followers on here, Twitter and Facebook.
Not only do I try to inspire and encourage through these sites, I use them to motivate myself.
I read a few (or a ton of) blog posts each morning or night and I am continually motivated to get out and be fit, sweat, feel the runners high, and be overcome with an excellent feeling of exhaustion.
I never feel more in the now than while I'm running, and I never feel more at my best than right after my run has ended.
In addition to being inspired to keep putting one foot in front of the other I have been shown that I need to branch out and cross-train to keep this body fit.
I have found a love for weight training and yoga, and I hope to be getting back into cycling soon.
(I think this is my very first post sans photos.)
Tell me what you have found a love for fitness-wise.
When do you feel your best?
xoxo,
I love the running blogging community! All you beautiful women inspire me to run when I am having an off day!!
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly how I feel. I really look forward to reading everyone's posts each day. :)
DeleteOh awesome congrats on your sweat pink ambassadorship!! i have found a love for just about everything fitness-wise! the passion and inspiration and motivation i get from reading all the blogs i do just makes me want to go try new things and keep up the things i do.
ReplyDeleteI learn so much and find out about new ways to stay fit through everyone's blogs too. I love it :)
DeleteYay! Congratulations! I have been a runner for a LONG time and I've never found any other sport/workout that will challenge me the way running does. This is not really fitness related, but health related, I have cut WAY back on my sugar intake and have found that I have SO much more energy so now my love is finding recipes that are sweet but don't contain so much SUGAR, only more natural sweeteners from fruits and such :)
ReplyDeleteThat is great. I have been working on the sugar thing too. But I still crave candy once in a while. But as for my everyday habits with adding sugar I have tried to switch to honey, agave nectar, pure maple syrup and using stevia. The stevia is definitely an acquired taste though.
DeleteCongratulations, fellow SPA sister!
ReplyDeleteThis community is amazing.
Fitness wise, I am really glad to have found running. I never thought I would enjoy it as much as I do. I feel my best after a consistent period of good runs.
I agree. I'm so glad that I found all these fitness blogs at the beginning of this year. It has really pushed me to run and race more.
DeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteTotally agree on the running aspect...always at my best just post-run. I also cycle and swim, but it's running that does it for me!
ReplyDeleteI want to do more swimming and cycling this summer. It's a goal! Keep it up :)
DeleteI think the most amazing thing for me has been that I have fallen in love with myself through running. I am not as hard on myself because I know how hard I am pushing and working.
ReplyDeleteI love my big strong thighs and my beaten and worn out feet because they have carried me so far.
The running bloggers community has been a place that I look forward to visiting every day. So many inspiring and fun people, and you're one of them!! :)
That is an awesome way of putting it! I definitely love my body more for what running has done for it. I'm comfortable in my skin. Thank you!!
DeleteI love the running community for sure! It makes me want to stick with running, even when I hate it lol! And I feel my best when I've accomplished something I didn't think I could do, particularly the longer runs I've been attempting lately. But any time I run and don't feel like I'm dying is good lol
ReplyDeleteI hear you. Some days are hard to get out there, but I always feel better after doing it. It's amazing how that works!
DeleteLove your blog! Keep on inspiring, fellow SPA sister!
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies :)
