My 2011 Fitness Journey!

2011 was certainly an amazing year. Although I’ve always been interested in fitness and have regularly worked out, this was the first year that I took it to a whole new level. I learned so much about how to train, how to fuel my body and how to balance a hardcore fitness routine with work, friends, a relationship, community service and family. I feel very lucky to have lived a very healthy life in 2011 and even more glad that I had good friends and an amazing boyfriend to share in my fitness journey. 
 
Here are some of my highlights:
 
January – Wrote my first Fitness Fatale (then called Femme Fatale: Conquering a Marathon with P90X) blog entry! Achieved my goal of a sub-2 hour half marathon and started P90X.
Taking the Fit Test Before P90X
February  – Didn’t drink alcohol, soda, coffee or eat any white bread/pasta, cookies, candy, etc. for an entire month during Phase 1 of P90X. Lost 8.5 lbs in the first 4 weeks! Officially started training for my first marathon and did my first double workout day (P90X in the morning, run in the evening).
 
March – More P90X and half marathon/marathon training. Mike turned 30 and we jumped out of a plane to celebrate!
 
Crossed That One Off the Bucket List!
 
April – Did my first unassisted pull-up. Ran the La Jolla Half Marathon in 1 hour 54 minutes, 5 minutes faster than I ran Carlsbad 3 months earlier, thanks to P90X! Finished P90X with a total weight loss of 10.8 pounds and 2.25 inches off my waist. Gained a new sense of confidence in my body and fitness ability.
 
May – Became a Team Beachbody Coach so that I can help others achieve their fitness goals! Ran 18 miles through 4 cities with Mike and also ran the longest run of my life wtih my running group, The Vavi Running Club.
 
June- Finished my first ever marathon with two great friends by my side in 4 hours and 2 minutes! Road a road bike for the first time in my life and competed in my first triathlon, a practice beginner tri put on by the Tri Club.
Post Rock n Roll Marathon
 
 
July- Competed in my first sprint triathlon and signed up for my first Olympic triathlon, Half-Ironman and Ironman all in one day (and my credit card got shut off from spending too much!)
 
 
August – Ran the AFC Half Marathon nearly 10 minutes faster than the prior year and also recevied the Triple Crown medal for competing 3 San Diego half marathons in 1 year. Was the 3rd woman to finish the TriClub Beginner Triathlon.
 
September – Finished 3rd in my age group at the TriRock Olympic triathlon.
 
October – Started coaching Girls on the Run and also started the Insanity Beachbody program. Biked my first half century ride. Wrote my 100th blog post.  
 
 
November – Discovered the Sufferfest cycling DVDs. Ran the Father Joe’s Thanksgiving Day 5k.
Turkey Socks!
 
December – Finished Insanity. Finished my first season of Girls on the Run and ran as a Runny Buddy in the 5k.
Girls on the Run Team Encinitas
Thanks to everyone who reads my blog! This has been such an action packed year for me and I know that 2012 will be even better!

      Probably just Ab Ripper and Yoga. We won’t have time for hour long strength training workouts plus I won’t have time to recover from P90X. I plan to do P90X2 in the Fall though!
