Hi everyone!
First of, Happy National Running day to all runners out there. Hope you all had fun celebrating this special day. Here’s a shot of Gu! 🙂 Cheers!
If you’re not a runner, give that runner in your life a high-five today, or at least don’t rag them about their “weirdness” posting a status on their facebook about their love for running. If National Running Day isn’t your thing, don’t fear, National Donut Day is coming up on Friday. 🙂
So, why do I run?
Running gives me FREEDOM!
When I run, I determine my own pace, I choose my own course and think whatever I want. Nobody tells me what to do. It’s for myself; my own freedom! 🙂
I’m not actually scheduled to run today, but since today is a special day dedicated to my favorite sport, I squeezed in 3 miles this afternoon. I ran 3 miles after doing an hour of weights class and an hour of kickboxing. So, I’m kinda a little wasted creating this post now. 😛
I was only going to attend weights class today but I felt so pumped up and ended up staying for the next class which was kickboxing. And to cap the day off, I ran 3 easy miles with my husband.
So, this was me earlier after the back-to-back workouts.
I feel so wasted but I had fun working out today. So, I’m off for now for my much needed rest!
Goodnight!
Have you done back-to-back fitness classes? Do you ever stay for more than one fitness class?
Xoxo, JOTR

Sounds like a fun day and what a better way than to finish with an easy run? 🙂
Haha. Yes it was slow. I was already tired but felt like I needed to run coz it was National Running Day. 🙂
I don’t take any fitness classes currently because of my schedule and the kiddos’ schedules. I want to though. What a beast you are getting 3 workouts in!!
Not a good idea. Lol. I was so tired after.
I do back to back classes when I need to try and really get in shape. In fact after vacation and traveling for work I need to get on that!
I do back to back classes but didn’t plan on including running that day. I just couldn’t let National Running Day pass without running. Lol! 🙂
I wish I had time to do back to backs too, I am still trying to find time to do everything haha
You walk to work in the morning. That’s an addition to your workout right there! 🙂
I wish I had time to do back to backs! In July when I’m not working, that will be my plan 🙂
Goodluck in July! Have fun working out!
Wow, that’s a crazy amount of exercise! Go you!
I’ve never done back-to-back classes, but I have doubled up exercises in the past, like going for a run in the morning, then a class in the evening, or two P90X workouts – a short one and a long one.
Thanks!!!
I do that too- workout in the morning, then at night. I get to have a break in between. This was the first that I had to run after a back to back class. I just couldn’t let National Running Day pass without running. Lol! 🙂
Great job on your workouts!
My husband is looking forward to National Doughnut Day.
Thanks Renee!
Hope you guys enjoyed your free delicious doughnuts!
I love it – yes running is freedom isn’t it? I’ve only done back to back classes once…and that was the last of that!! It’s hard and intense for sure!
Hi Christine!
It was! I normally do back to back on Wednesdays. I had to add a run coz it was National Running Day! Lol! 🙂
I often do a spin class followed by a strengthening class. Did you even have time to eat with all this exercise??
Wow Ashley that’s tough. Spin classes are tiring! Go girl!
I ate banana before heading out to run. 🙂
Hello rockstar – rocking those workouts! Pink Newtons are the BEST!!!
Hey Chelsea,
Love Newtons!
Wow you are killer! And I thought I was intense, I did 3 miles followed by the BodyPump class. I was jello after, I can’t imagine doing kickboxing on top of that!!
You are one tough girl too. Bodypump class is hard! Awesome! Keep it up!
2.5 hours of exercise – that’s intense!! i like the way you see running as freedom.
Yup 2.5 hours. Couldn’t let National Running Day pass without running.
Thanks!
Beast mode (ON) OFF…. GREAT JOB!
Thanks!!!
Wow! You are a machine, going to back to back classes. That is great! Happy National Running Day to you!!
Haha!
Hope you had an awesome National Running Day!
Happy Runnings!
