Bootie Bounce w- ME! 4 miles non-stop 38 minutes! Allergic to the Sun
I CAN’T RUN FROM WORK ANYMORE! The sun and I can never be friends. Here’s the problem - genetics! I have dark Asian skin - kiss the sun for 10 min. and I turn 1 shade darker and it lasts for over a year almost. I always hide from the sun. Winters are my favorite time of the year because I stay the lightest I’ll be all year. With the time change I can’t run until after 6:30pm. I know there are many people who pays for tans but I don’t and I don’t like being darker. Shoot, give me a full day in the sun and I can be as dark as you know who we shall not name *Rod* shhhhh!!
With this realization I opted to run at the gym. Plus side got there 1 1/2 hr before yoga and started. Oh man I was loving my run! There was a guy next to me who kept me going. We ran and ran 40 min later I get a tap - ahhhhhh gym is maxed and I went 20 min over the max time during a full day. So I got off, peed, drank water and jumped on a different treadmill for a 13 min. walk.
I have to tell you I am so proud of my progress! I mean less then 3 weeks in I increase my speed - cut my miles to under 10 minutes per mile and ran 38 minutes straight - no walk except warm up and cool down. Actually its 9.50 per mile! 
My goal this month was to get to 11 min per mile by end of March - I’m there!!!!
What did I accomplish today? 330 push -ups actually got in 350 push-ups! :), 4 mile run, 1 mile walk and 1 hour yoga + + 10 min abs with Nygel - snuck into their Set class.
My run goal for this week - do 5 miles on the streets with 1 mile walk in 65 min. Maybe this Friday……..???
I’m tired now. Gonna go eat, chat with my honey and come back to check on my buddies!!
Nancy you are so amazing. If they ever remake wonder woman you have to try out for the role!
Great job on the running, you’re so inspiring!
Sorry to hear you can’t run outside, but oh well, thanks goodness for the gym!!
Thank you Samantha! Wow - very humbled by that.
I’m just happy I’m hitting all my goals. 
I will be back to read your blog!
*MUAH* FOR THE LOVE!
Hey girl, send me some of your unwanted pigmentation. I’m so white, I blind people. Well, at least my legs are. I even tried tanning them but even though my stomach got really dark, my legs didn’t even take the glare off.
Awesome job on the run. You are such a great motivating force. Your my role model! I want to have arms like the ones in your after pic! Seriously, I’m drooling over your arms and shoulders!!
Your day is incredible! Way to go!!
Damn… I’m one of those who pay for tanning
I have to start in April just to be a tan color by the summer lolz…
Postponed to Saturday. Can’t wait to kick some ass like you do. I know it’ll take years but you motivate me everyday 
Woot woot!!! Doing the bootie dance with ya~~ Go Nancy, Go nancy, you’re the bomb, you did it, your faster and faster, go nancy lolzz… Like my song? haha… take care hon!!!
You are awesome girl, I know you must be loving your body when your working out… I skipped the first day at the gym today
the sun hates me. he burns me.
ouch!
Woohoo! Sorry would write more, but losing energy. Bootie bouncin’ with ya though!
How about a really high SPF sun screen? Or a light weight long sleeve shirt or jacket and a base ball cap? I don’t know. But running on a treadmill gets so freaking boring for me LOL so just giving you some ideas.
Good luck Hun!!:)
I’ve got Italian blood in me, so I tan pretty easy if I want. Great job on the run!! WHOOHOO!! Bootie Bounce for sure!!
Great job on you running! We also hide from the sun, but that’s because we burn to crisp in mere seconds. But I can’t wait for warmer weather… it’s bitterly cold here, snow and all that. The weekend is going to be nice.
I started my running program this Monday, on the treadmill as well, and I like how it keeps me focused, plus I think it’s better on the knees and sheens than the asphalt. But I will be taking it outside for Friday and Saturday runs, as I am not going to work, and the weather… yeah, I’ve mentioned it already!
But wow, look at your progress! You run for it, girl!
BIIIIIGGGGGG BOOOOTTIIIEEE BOUNCE!!!
Your doing amazingly!
Remember to stretch! I think of stretching as thanking your body for putting up with you beat it up and make it do things it doesn’t want to do.
You feel loads better the next day.
-Happy Wednesday!
Good grief, girl! You are awesome. I am white as all get out and I don’t tan, either. It’s bad for me and I know it!
You can send that tan my way…I have to stay out of the sun or I burn to a crisp!! Of course it happens every year anyway b/c I have too much fun outdoors! But I’m always loaded up w/sunscreen!! I actually had sun poisoning once- not fun! But at least you enjoy the treadmill…
You could borrow my SPF 50 and my big floopy hat? hehehe
Stevie, that’s why I did yoga right after my run - to stretch.
I know the importance of stretching.
So happy for you on the running
Glad you are loving it!
Great job girl! You are doing amazing!
Damn I get exhausted just reading about all that exercise. YOU GO GIRL!
WOW! i can run for like 2 minnutes max!! but on the other cardio machines its on!!
Awesome job Nancy…that is just fabulous. Great job getting in your miles on the treadmill. You will be running faster and faster in no time flat! Keep it up hun. I bet when you take that scale out in June or July you will be down those 4 pounds for sure
I am with you, I don’t tan either! But I am very pale so sun is probably good for me…but since high school I’ve always applied a sunscreen in the morning.
This is why I prefer walking inside…lol. but your doing well running at the gym. I would love to have a track inside that I could run/walk on. But on time in gym class it was too cold to walk outside…so my friends and I walked around the hall a dozen times or so. That worked too.
Treadmills scare me…
The sun doesn’t like me either…I’m fair skinned. It actually breaks me out!!
Awesome job at the gym sweetie!! Keep up the pace you are amazing!!!
((((Hugs)))) Trish
Great job girl!!
