Bonded Forever Week 3 Training for Get Your Rear in Gear 2013#getyourrearingear

My third week of training proved to be somewhat difficult and challening.  I had a super busy week at work (averaging 3 hours of sleep a night) and my body was still recovering from the previous week of intense training.  My feet were also still getting used to my new sneakers. However, with all things considered, I did pretty well!  Although I would’ve liked to have exercised one or two more days during my third week of training, I think that my body needed the extra day of rest.

I am excited to announce that I have organized three GYRIG fundraisers during the month of March.  Please read Get Your Rear in Gear 2013 Fundraiser Schedule for Team Bonded Forever to learn about how you can attend one or more of the events.

Bonded Forever Week 2 Training for Get Your Rear in Gear 2013#getyourrearingear

Last week was so crazy busy and I am so happy that I was able to workout as much as I did during my second week of training.  I wish I could say that I did another six mile run (like I did last week), but I unfortunately  did not accomplish that feat.  I did, however, run a super fast mile!  I actually couldn’t believe that I ran a mile in under seven minutes and questioned my Nike+ Running app’s accuracy.  However, I’ll give myself the benefit of the doubt and pat myself on the back.  I hope to reach a new level of success this week!  Wish me luck.

Bonded Forever Week 1 Training for Get Your Rear in Gear 2013

#getyourrearingear

 I decided to sign-up and run in the Philadelphia Get Your Rear in Gear 10k this year!  The money raised for this run will support the local Colon Cancer Coalition chapter and help raise awareness.  My mother bravely beat Stage IV Metastatic Colon Cancer (and is currently 1.5 years cancer free!!), so I’m running in her honor.

In order to stay motivated and train hard, I’ve been taking photographs to mark my progress and give proof that I worked out.  In the photo collage above, I have posted some of my favorite instagrams from last week.   Please follow me at @bondedforever on instagram and twitter to stay updated on my progress.

I also am inviting you to please visit my donation page to make a donation and/or sign up to be a team member.  Any donation — big or small — will be greatly appreciated.  My goal is to raise at least $1,000 dollars.  I have organized three different yoga and Zumba class fundraisers… so stay tuned!
