I have been using some new workout tools for that past week or two and wanted to give a "check-in" on how they are going and what results I am finding. First off, the Butt Challenge. Do it. The first night I did it, it took me four minutes and I actually laughed at how easy it was. The next morning I woke up and the laughing stopped. My buns were aching! I have already noticed improvements in the derriere department, and give a big part of the credit to this workout.

Secondly, I quickly brought up that I have been using the 10k Free app in a post last week. I am not scheduled for any races yet, but plan on running a half marathon in either October or November. A nice bit of time to get prepared! I am currently using the 10k Challenge app and love it, but am seriously considering moving to the Map My Run app since you can set the race day, map the runs, set the days of training per week, and get text reminders on running days!

I am currently training three days of the week and will keep that up for as long as I can figure. The 10K Free starts out pretty slow with intervals where you pick the pace. This could be really great for a person who does not run often, or runs very slow... Me. With intervals and an incline, I ran 2 miles per 30 minutes, three times that week. It was a fantastic workout that never got boring. Intervals are heaven. 10K brings you up slowly and will train you to run just over six miles in fourteen weeks. This is not too bad and will leave me almost the same amount of time to train for the rest of the miles involved in a half marathon. If you are interested in training and running with me and live in the Central Florida area, message me. If we have enough people, we will form a super fun, app driven running group! There are a few different race options, and if there is enough interest, I may put them up for a vote!

For now, I will continue to use the 10k Free and possibly put a training routine up in the next few weeks.
