Run with the Wind

I'm heading out of town for the weekend. Driving up to the desert to visit with my family. I'm going with my sister to her baby gender ultrasound! I'm very excited to see if I'm going to have a new niece or nephew in September. If y'all were reading early on and doing the math that means you know she ran the half marathon with me while she was 6 weeks pregnant! Amazing right?!?!!!!!

Where I grew up there is WIND and lots of it! So much that it's a Wind Energy Capital, TONS of Wind Turbines! One day during our training for our half marathon my sister and I actually had my brother in law drive us out 5 miles so we can run back the whole way with the wind. Running against that wind suuuuccckkkkks! It's crazy windy there. Which is why this 10K I'm running is called Run With the Wind 5k/10k! Ha! Just a little background story for ya.

I'm very excited to run this 10K. It's my first 10k! I know crazy I ran a half before a 10K, and I'm running with a group of girlfriends/family/momma :) One of my friends and I run pretty close in pace so we decided to run it together and just have fun with it! Of course we have matching outfits to go with it!

 
Moving onto workouts! I am working so so so very hard to get rid of my "mommy gut" and by working hard I mean all in my nutrition, because of course we all know abs are made in the kitchen. I am staying far away from sugar, and simple carbohydrates. I still eat complex carbs of course. Anyways I think that this hard work is starting to pay off and maybe one day I'll get rid of my baby pooch.

 
As far as workouts go I'm finishing up week 7 of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution which I think also has a major play in my definition. I LOVE that beast Jillian! and I'm running when I can! With 3 kids I squeeze a run in whenever I can lately it's been on the dreadmill at night!
 
 
I also want to share with you this amazing woman who has gone through a similar journey and she is an AMAZING motivator/inspiration. She has a really good way of putting the same feelings I have had through my journey into words! I'm not very good at that! Check her out! I love my girl Elle Noel XOXO!


Well that is it short and sweet today I gotta hit the road. I'll update y'all on my run after the weekend! See ya on instagram @run_elisha_run

Happy Thursday XOXOXO
Elisha

  1. What girl I love your posts. I live Elle Noel's too but girl your are just as great!! You both are top notch inspirations. Now onto that fab figure of yours. I wish on all my fingers and toes that my body would bounce back like yours but after three babies (2 if them being over 9 lbs) it's not happening without alittle nip tuck. You look amazing and just got the record you looked great before but what's better now is that you have this glow about you!! Keep rockn mama and have a great race!!!

  2. You are an inspiration! Between you and Miss Elle Noel, I get the gentle kicks in the butt to stay with it even through the tough times. Have fun with your family and on your run.
