I have been blessed with a loving family and great friends. My relationships with others make me thrive. I feel fortunate and fulfilled when I listen and share with others. There is peace in knowing that others trust me with their stories and I feel comforted when others listen to mine.
Here is my story: I was reading in the newsletter from my gym about the race then I remember that I want to run a race, but I do not know how. I asked my personal trainer for help and she said I am going to run this race to “Turkey Throat 5K- Laurel MD, Advocacy Referral Service”. I was very happy when I found they were three members from my gym and my husband wants to run this race to.
I bought a book The Complete Book of Women’s Running, 2nd edition, by Dagny Scott Barrios (Rodale, November 2007 and my personal trainer tips and here are my 6 tips or advice what to do if you want to do a performance in the race, but the most important “ HAVE FUN”.
1-Pick a Race: Having a race on your calendar is motivation to keep running for the rest of the year. If you choose one that is in a few weeks or a few months, set a plan and stick to it.
2-Do the Minimal Training Needed for Optimal Results: If you have improved by running 25 miles a week, you could be so much better by running 50, right? Training is not a matter of cramming in as many miles as you can. It’s about finding the balance of miles, days per week, and types of workouts that get you to your goals without injury or exhaustion.
3- Be Consistent: Ask a coach what the single most important factor is in training, and most will answer “consistency.” You won’t improve if you run only once a week, or if you repeatedly run hard for a week, and then take the next week off. Better running comes from regular running.
4-Balance Hard Efforts with Rest: Imagine running as hard as you can one day, then again the next day, and the next. Sooner or later, you’d barely be able to run at all. The benefits of stressing the body come during recovery. On easy or off days, your body are busy repairing muscle fibers, increasing your ability to process nutrients and oxygen, building new blood cells, and eliminating waste. If you do not give your body time to recover, sooner or later, you will tear it down.
5-Expect Peaks and Plateaus: If you drop three minutes off your 10K time. The six-mile loop that used to feel impossible now feels easy. At some point, though, the improvements will slow, or stop. Once you reach a certain level of fitness (predetermined by your genes and influenced by your age), you’ll have to work harder, and perhaps rest more, to gain seconds off a race. Regardless of whether you’re as fast as you used to be, the cycle of peaks and plateaus applies to every year and decade of your running.
6- Practice Patience: Piling on the miles or pushing the intensity too soon won’t get you in shape faster your body needs time to adapt, but it might get you injured. So whether you are a new runner or returning after a break, increase quantity and quality gradually.
I ran my first 10K November 27 “Turkey Throat”. I am so proud of myself. The weather was 20 degree and I feel a little butterfly in my stomach because this is my first race and I want to do a good performance. My personal trainer and friend Jackie, advice “You will be fine for this race Myrna.
I am looking forward to run my next race on May, 16, 2009 Reston Virginia Spine Institute. I guess I need figure out what to wear the right cloths.
Wishing you good health and success with happiness!
Best wishes,
Myrna L. Sandnes

Hello Everyone,
A real big question I need to go to the Gym… for better health. What to do when you start a Pilates life style fitness program.
What to wear for a Pilate’s workout is very much up to you. Comfortable exercise clothing that lets you have full range of motion is fine. You don’t need anything special. However, there are a few things to consider if you are going to a class at a studio or gym.
Most Pilate’s studios are casual. Keeping your attire simple, at least at first, will help you figure out what works best for you and what the norms are at your studio. One exception however, is fitness attire that is too loose. Baggy is a problem in Pilates as well as yoga classes because it can be too revealing and because an instructor must be able to see your alignment and muscle use. If you are unsure about what to wear or about other standards at a studio, there is nothing wrong with calling or visiting to find out what other students wear.
A couple of extras that I want to mention are jewelry and scents. It is always a good idea to keep jewelry to a minimum when you workout. Bracelets, long necklaces, and even dangling earrings can be distracting or, worse, get caught in the equipment. In addition, many studios ask that students avoid wearing strong-scented fragrances or perfumed lotions. Even if it’s not requested, it is a courtesy to other students to refrain from wearing strong scents.
Many people enjoy “dressing” for workouts. If you like fashion, there is no lack of fun to be had in the realm of workout wear. Clothing for Pilates and yoga is essentially the same, and the explosion of popularity of both disciplines has brought about a revolution in stylish exercise clothing. It is much easier than it used to be to find not only interesting clothes, but options that are designed for a variety of body types and needs. You can even find workout clothing made of antibacterial fabric or natural fiber such as organic cotton and soy.
Here is my personal preference for pants and tops:
The Green Sea Collection Active Wear Collection can worn to the gym, to your Yoga, Pilates, spinning, jogging, dance classes or just around the house and even shopping and can be at. http://www.sofinefashions.com They can be purchased online or over phone or through a catalog.

THIS WINTER DO SOMETHING WONDERFUL FOR YOURSELF GET IN SHAPE AND FEEL GREAT!
It is very apparent now that the cold temperatures are starting to rise at this time of the year and it may be necessary to prepare yourself for a new exercise routine to fit the weather and your lifestyle. Keep it simple you do not have to move from outdoors to indoors to accomplish this and maintain your progress. If your normal routine is to workout outside the gym it is becomes very important to have some quality clothes in your exercise wardrobe to make workouts more enjoyable and fun.
What you wear to the gym is a personal choice. You probably can choose an outfit based things like how comfortable it is, how much freedom of movement it offers and how good it looks. Some people have their own “special” sense of fashion, something that becomes clear whenever you visit your local gym. While exercise doesn’t necessarily require looking like a fashion plate, there are some basic rules to follow when you head out for public workouts.
“Be sure to clean your workout clothes on a regular basis and don’t wear overbearing perfume or cologne,” says my personal trainer “Take a shower after your workout as well—you don’t want your smell to offend people on your way home, too!”
Below are some of my favorite TIPS for women to layer up in the winter and keep warm and dry.
Tips: Get Motivated and Exercise:
Don’t fall into a winter slump! It’s time to start to think about those New Year’s resolutions in put them into motion. Take 15 to 30 minutes a day out of your schedule to get your body moving and watch those post holiday pounds fall off. Take your dog out for a walk or use the stairs instead of the elevator. Check out these great tips to get on track to a brand new you!
· Warm up.
Make sure to warm for up at least 10 minutes before you breath the cold air. Colder temperatures make your muscles tight and more prone to injuries.
· Insulate your body.
Dress in layers for warmth and versatility. If you get hot, you can remove the top layer which should be both wind and water resistant. The layer closest to your skin should be moisture absorbent.
· Drink up.
Dress in layers for warmth and versatility. It’s just as important to stay hydrated when exercising in winter as it is in summer, even though you might not feel as thirsty. Fitness water has a refreshing lemon flavor, keeps you hydrated and is loaded with Vitamins C and E.
· Wear sunscreen.
You can still get sunburned in winter even if the sun isn’t visible! So if you’re exercising outdoors make sure to apply sunscreen before heading out. Perfect for winter, this formula moisturizes and protects you from harmful rays.
· Too cold to go outside?
Start your own home gym. All you need is a set of dumbbells, an exercise ball, a jump rope and a strong motivation to get fit!
- Most the gyms keep their temperature cool to save on energy bill cost and are cold during this season of the year and my advice is buying a nice “Soft Cotton Hood” that your wear inside the gym and you can remove when you are warm up.
