5-4-3-2-1 Workout

I saw the 5-4-3-2-1 Workout on Pinterest.  It only takes 15 minutes for a beginner.  It looks easy, but I was sweating by the time I was finished.  I would recommend it for busy days when you just don't have time for the gym.




 

Choosng running shoes

This pin gives advice about running shoes.  I need this because I have high aches and my new running shoes aren't giving my feet the support they need.  This is so true.  I have high aches and my feet roll out.  I will definitely relace my shoes like it tells me to.  Hopefully, that will help.

You don't have to go fast... you just have to go.

Run while you can

Exercise Finder

This website helps you figure out what exercises to do to tone up.  You just click on the body part you want to tone and it gives you a couple of exercises.  This is so cool.

Carrot Fries

Make your own carrot fries!

If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up.

Map My Run

I was looking for an app to figure out how far I am running. After searching Pinterest, I found Map My Run. I have used it twice and I love it. I found out that my running trail at my park was .10 mile further than I thought it was. That means I've been running further and faster than I thought!

I think that the GPS is pretty accurate. My first time using it, I tested it against a .25 mile track and it was right.

I like that the app speaks to you at the end of every mile to tell you the distance, time, and pace. It's great that I don't have to stop and look every so often.

My only complaint is that when you pause and resume your workout, it takes it awhile to readjust to your pace. I paused it once and when I resumed it said I was running at 1 mile per hour for about a minute into the workout. Finally, my speed started going up, but it messed with my average pace.

Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the app. I'm using it to keep track of my marathon training.
