Well it's been a while...

Rest assured, we're still continuing our journey back to fitness! Although this winter has been extra cold we've continued to pursue our goals.

Unfortunately we're only able to run outside once or twice a week because it gets dark so quickly, we're doing our outdoor run at the weekend. We have joined Planet Fitness to get us through the winter and so far it's been a decent experience. There are times when that place is really full so you  have to pick a decent time to go. Be that later at night or 5 in the morning!

We are signed up for the Shamrock 8K in March. Most likely we'll freeze our butts off but it should be a lot of fun! We are also considering running our first half marathon in September of this year. At least we'll  have the spring and summer months to improve our fitness levels prior to.

Another good workout I've recently discovered is Zumba. It's a lot of fun even if you have extremely bad coordination, like me! I'd definitely recommend it as a way to mix up your workouts in the winter months. Going to the gym day after day and using the same machines over and over again is probably extremely boring and easier to give up on.

Keep up the hard work by throwing in new and exciting work outs to your routine!
