Yesterday after work, I put on my running gear to complete my first run of 2013 in the double digits. I was hydrated, fueled and ready to go!

Thank goodness for daylight savings time, because it was light the entire time that we were running. When we started the training program back in January, it would get dark at the end of all of our runs which instantly made things more difficult.

We ran a new-to-me route throughout Indianapolis and the running group did a great job of sticking together for the entire 10 miles. After the run was complete, I instantly felt that runners high, a little soreness in my calves despite my compression socks, and hunger…

Thank goodness they always provide snacks after our group long runs!

It felt great to actually hit that 10 mile mark, but I must admit that I am looking forward to only running 5 miles next week as an easy run 🙂

Questions of the Month – March

Every once in a while, I notice a lot of questions come in that hover around the same topic, or that I feel many people would benefit from knowing the answer. A monthly roundup of the most popular questions with their answers seemed like it may be of interest.

If you have a question that I have not answered, or something comes up in the future, please do not hesitate to comment on a post or e-mail me at [email protected]!

Here are the questions and answers:

• How did you get started blogging, and what advice do you have for someone wanting to begin blogging?

• How can I get more out of Bodypump?

This question require a bit of a lengthy answer, so I actually centered an entire post around it!

Here is what I summarized in the post as my top 5 tips to get the most out of your Bodypump class:

1. Bring a notebook
2. Focus
3. Don’t skip the stretches
4. Attend class 2-3 times a week for the best results
5. Come to class early to get everything set up.

• Where can I buy green curry paste?

I have mentioned green curry paste in a couple of recipes, so some of you were wondering where to buy it. I purchase this in the “ethnic” or “asian” food section at your typical grocery store. It is usually in the area where you purchase soy sauce and things of that nature.
