I just want to shout out a big THANK YOU to all of those wonderful people out there who donated to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society so I could run for team in training. I managed to reach the insane goal of $2500 needed in order to participate. It has been a stressful endeavor and I’m glad that part is behind me. Now the real challenges begin.

As some of you know, I’ve been training since early June for the Nike Women’s Half Marathon that’s happening this coming October. Well when I started feeling like I might not reach my minimum amount of donations, I admit I started slacking in training. Don’t get me wrong, I still did the workouts, just not with the amount of zeal I first had. Now I’m going to train harder than ever, and really make my donators proud!

I will say that training for a half marathon was starting to get discouraging, especially when I reached a plateau in weight loss. It seemed no matter how hard I tried, I was still jiggly all over. My pants were actually tighter than they were before i started working out. How is that possible? I even started reading Apidexin reviews on diet pills because I was so frustrated. But I don’t think I would ever actually resort to taking something unless I knew for a fact it was healthy. But it really is incredibly frustrating to work out 5 days a week and not see results. Luckily I rode out the plateau and I’m finally seeing an improvement. Still, running has made me bulkier than I would like, and as soon as this marathon is over, I’m joining a gym and taking up pilates!!
