How to Stay Motivated This Winter?
Sign up for a run, walk, trot, race, or marathon to keep you motivated working out in the upcoming chilly months! I try my best to incorporate a jog sesh every once in a while because I know how important cardio is for my health, but its not easy. I have found my biggest motivator has been signing up for Runs.It’s like participating in a BIG morning party, it makes the fall/winter more fun, and your giving your time and money for a great cause.
One great cause that I recommend attending is the Freedom Isn’t Free 5K on 10/28 in honor of Marine Corps Cpl. Conner Lowry for his service and sacrifice. Conner Lowry was a friend of mine and this run will be the #1 run on my list to complete. Plus after the run, you get to enjoy watching the da Bears game with free grilled food and pop! So please sign up!
- Below, I organized all the run/walk activities left for 2012 in Chicago. Click on the name of the event to learn more about it and get your jog on!
- -email, text, facebook, or tweet me if you are signing up for a race, I would love to post after pics of people that competed the following runs:

Need a reason to workout today?
Lo-fat Chocolate Milk has been found to be one of the best post-workout options to have because it provides an optimal balance of carbs and proteins. Plus, it is recommended as the after workout choice for strength training + cardio workouts!
Recent studies suggest taking around 10-20 grams of high-quality protein within 2 hours after a strength training workout is usually enough to jumpstart recovery and prevent muscle loss. Also, carbs are needed for both post cardio and strength training workouts because it helps replenish the body’s glycogen stores and prevents muscle soreness.
It is important to understand that your workout can be more effective when you refuel your body with the right nutrition. Plan ahead to ensure your body has the right nutrients for fast, adequate recovery. Or just gulp down some lo-fat chocolate milk!
If that doesn’t motivate you, WORKOUT TODAY FOR Sarah Reinertesen, the first female leg amputee to complete the Ironman Triathlon World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. WOW!
