Jillian Jr. or Bob? You decide

So for this Daily Sweat, we are going to check out the girl's process. And by girls, I dont mean my C cup is growing to unlimited proportions. I mean MY girls, my trainees:)

As you know, I have been training seven girls on the couch potato to 5k plan. Some have moved on and are ready to train for something else. The others are on week 3 and continue to blow me away each week. If you've ever run, you know that it is a love/hate relationship at first and overtime that goes away.

Some of the best things about running is that it is the time just for you. It's a major stress reliever. And you get cool medals. Cathy, on of the new trainees was so inspired, she wrote her own post about it the other day. It's quite hilarious and the parts about me deceiving her are all lies. Just ignore that. She still needs new shoes and a sports bra, so please encourage this girl to do so!!

I don't know where you are, but it is chilly here and the wind has started blowing pretty intensely. I love cooler temps but hate wind....especially when running.

I recently went back to boot camp for the first time since my surgery and really just took it easy. Burpees were a bit difficult but when are they not? I enjoyed being back with my line of girls sweatin' it out. We are trying to convince Sarah to join us in running so any manipulative messages would be appreciated.

Please join me in congratulating these girls and leave them comments of motivation to keep it up. You really can be a runner and like I always say," Running can save your life."

Oh and P.S. the girls nicknamed me Jillian Jr and are getting me shirts. I love it! But, I do think I am more like Bob. But, I guess that would be weird to have your shirt say Bob when you are clearly a woman. My teenager would love it.

Travel down the road and back again......literally! Ha!!  


Yes, I realize that its only 2:35 a.m. but smart 'ol me thought my blackberry said a lot later so I hopped up, staggered around to find my shoes. It was then that to my horror, that I noticed my husband's bedside clock. 

Weeeeelllllll, lets just say II was wrong...by an hour wrong. Yes, I am awake when all of the college students are stumbling in.

 I remember those days..... but instead of beer pong-today, I am lacing up my shoes to go run/walk 10 miles. Crazy right? And you thought it was for other reasons...don't try to deny it...I know you.

So today's post in Daily Sweat, is all about my girls...no not those girls. Ewwww
(okay I may or may not have used  that joke before) Its not so easy being a comedian

I am training 7 girls right now on the c25k program.  I have girls in various stages. Some are on week 1, some are on week 4, some are on week 7. What I really love about how life sucks sometimes, is when it works out for the better.

When I got injured, I didnt wake up magically thanking God for this.

But, now ...oh how I do thank Him. I am  thankful for these girls. This training has totally rebirthed in me a desire to help people make heallthy life style changes.  And not the kind of rebirth that you bury in your backyard.

They are all such different people and I love getting to know them all...like how Amanda has such a kind heart that she always brings me fruit and veggies and that Tiffany has the mouth of a sailor.  It's awesome.

These girls tell me thank you all the time, but I am thanking you. I am so grateful for each and every one of you. Even when I am yelling at you to pick it up, suck it up and quit crying like a baby. Or in Stacia's case, get out of the fetal position.

These girls go out three to four times a week. sweating and pushing their limits and their bodies to see how far they can. And I say rock on sisters!!

Hey,  maybe we should start a club or something and give ourself some bad girls name like I did for kickball in 3rd grade....the team name was "Hot Shots".   Yep, even back then, I was such an Amy/Tamar.

Definitely thinking t-shirts.
