Hey everyone it's Jena!   I just can't tell you how good it feels to start the day off right with a run.  Since last weekend I have not ran at all because I have  plantar fasciitis.  I ran the 5k this weekend and it started to really flare up again so I am trying to give my foot a chance to rest. I am hoping to get back to it this afternoon  

I have not learned to love running yet. I know that running is good for you and the results are amazing in energy, weight, and feeling. This weekend I ran the 5k in 41 mins which I was bummed because last year  I was running 5k's in 32-35 minutes. I kept up with training on the treadmill in the winter time but I do understand that running on the treadmill and running outside are two different things so I know next year to work harder on the treadmill to keep up where I leave off at the end of this running season. 

I hope you jump on board with Beth and I.  Lace up your running shoes and start hitting the pavement.

Inspire -If you are just starting out - start with interval training where you walk a little ways and run as far as you can and keep doing so for at least a 1/2 hour a day. Once you can run the full half hour increase the time! 

Devour - Try this shake it is amazing - in a blender mix bananas, raspberries, scoop of protein powder (mine is chocolate flavored), ice, and half and half. Blend well and enjoy chocolate covered raspberries and bananas. Enjoy!
