{Fitness Friday} It’s a New Day!

December 28, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt


Hello Friends!
It’s never too late to start over.
It’s never too late to be the person you want to be.
Today is a new day!  Let it be awesome!
Does anyone else feel like they need a kick in the pants or inspirational quotes to get moving lately!?

I recently went onto DailyMile and saw this lovely message:

It had been 10 whole days since I had logged a workout.  Which probably meant that I had not done any intentional exercise in 10 days.  Yikes!


Of course I decided that would have to change.  I’ve done a couple of Treadclimber workouts this week and some core exercises.  It feels good to get moving again!

I still need to make a plan for my half-marathon training…stay tuned for that!  I am a super nerd when it comes to planning things and I love figuring out all the details on a training plan.  

It also gets me motivated to have a goal that I’m working towards.  Such as running 13.1 miles!

Dailymile.com is a great site for encouraging fellow runners (or even non-runners who are just logging workouts) and getting motivation for yourself.  It also has nerdy graphs and charts of your running, which of course I think is awesome!!

Here is my 2012 Running:

Here is my 2012 Total Miles Training:

 Here are my 2012 records:

How nerd-tastic is this?

So that was my training for 2012…how about I try to make 2013’s training even more awesome?  Who’s with me?!

I will leave you (and me) with an inspirational graphic.  😉

PS I realized that New Year’s Day is a Tuesday and I wanted to do both a Teach Me Tuesday link-up and a New Year’s Resolution post link-up that day….so I am moving the New Year’s Resolution link-up to Thursday.  Hope you can join in! 🙂

Happy Fitness Friday!

    yay! And I missed following your training, too! 😉 I’m bad about only tracking my runs in DailyMile and I should really use it for my other workouts too..

      Yes I’m going to try to track all my workouts on there and on the spreadsheet I’m making for half training. 🙂

    I love the nerd in you! 🙂 The graphs alone would motivate me to do better with logging my workouts. Good luck in your endeavors in 2013! Oh, and I love the inspirational graphic…pinning that one! Visiting from the Fitness Friday Link Up.
