New medal earned, Paleo bread recipe, and a NO cheating your workout device, OH MY!

Yesterday I earned my first virtual race medal. 

Yep that beautiful medal was won by myself while training for upcoming races I have planned in 2014. I joined the Jost Running Virtual Race bloggers to show you guys how doing a virtual race can not only keep you on track in your training, but make you feel like your accomplishing the race times that you are reaching for. I have not ran much in the past 6 months, due to moving in to my new house and living in it while we do a total remodel, kids in non stop sports, and a little bit of functional depression. But I am now starting to train for the races that I have coming up, Pensacola Double Bridge,

  Rock n Roll new Orleans,

 and The Biggest Loser Run/Walk.

I was excited to know when I finished my run yesterday that I had earned my "Running is a Winter Sport" medal which is absolutely beautiful. Jost Running definitely has beautiful medals. 

Check out all of the virtual races Jost Running has going on

While on Facebook last night I came across the awesome Jody from Truth2BeingFit.com recipe for Paleo bread she posted on her page. I luckily had everything at the house to make it, so off to the kitchen I went. Here is her Paleo bread recipe. The only thing I changed was instead of store bought almond flour, I made mine with raw almonds and a food processor. Super easy and delicious. It is not a sweet bread so if you are looking for it to be a little sweeter, you could always add in some dark chocolate chips.

Last but not least, I LOVE mail this time of the year. Thanks to the wonderful people over at Under Armour and the amazing Fit Fluential peeps, I received this beauty in the mail yesterday...

The Armour39 heart rate monitor. Yep this thing sounds amazing, not only does it tell you your stats for your work out, it also rates your "WILLpower" performance from 1-10. Yep there is NO cheating with this one! I will be checking it out this weekend and will have a full review up next week, stay tuned. 

I hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas season so far. 

Stay Inspiring!

JOST RUNNING VIRTUAL Races!

You may be wondering exactly what a virtual race may be...

"A virtual race is a race that runners, or walkers, can participate in no matter where they are located on the globe.  The way it works is that each runner registers at www.JostRunning.com, we email them a custom racing bib, he/she runs during their selected race week, emails us their finish time, and we send them a finishers medal in the mail.

What sets us apart from other virtual races is that everyone who submits a time to us will see that time represented on the results page of our website where they can check their ranking if the competition aspect is important to them, or feel a sense of community from their solo run by seeing the other runners names and times." Cynthia, founder of Jost Running

 

After these past 6 month of barely being able to find the time to run and definitely not racing:( I have missed it. Running a Virtual Race is just what I need to challenge myself on my time. And lets face it the majority of us girls run for the bling. Check this out...

 
Yep that's right you get an awesome race bib emailed to you after signing up and then you receive an absolutely gorgeous race medal. Let me tell you these medals are amazing.

What I also loved about Jost Running Virtual Races is that every race supports a great charity. Right now they have a race going called "Running is a Winter Sport" which supports the Central Virginia Food Bank. For more information and to register click the picture below.

So if you have a training run coming up or just want to challenge yourself. Better yet get a couple friends together and have a little fun running this month while helping out the

Central Virginia Food Bank.

 

As a Jost Running Blogger I will be running all of the races and updating you on all the ways you can make the Virtual Race work for you. Stay Tuned!

What a weekend...

As most of the world knows my beloved BAMA boys lost one of the most important games in college football history yesterday. I stand by my team through wins and losses. All I have to say to Auburn now is you better win the National championship game and keep it in Alabama. Enough said!
