I've never been much for Ab work. . . . . Probably because I'm a total wimp! When I was pregnant I suffered severe back pain. . . . .before I even had much of a belly. I'm pretty sure my lack of stomach muscles had something to do with that. I'm the type of person that needs a goal and a visual to get my ass motivated!! Angie and I decided to ramp up our training for this marathon and we both agreed core strength would be a good focus! Last night I completed the 30 day challenge . . . . .pretty exciting!!! I won't say it helped me get a killer 6 pack or anything, but my ability to do 125 full sit ups (50 at a time with a small breather in between) shows me my progress and strength.

I am taking a rest day on Abs today & looking into another "goal" to keep me focused on continuing Ab work. A strong core will help me to run stronger & avoid back pain!
On another exciting note . . . . the Gu fairy paid a visit. . . . I'm not sure why anybody would be excited about this crap because it's pure gut rot . . . . But it really works for me and I hate to ruin a good thing!!!
How do you fuel for long runs? Anything that is a little "outside the box" that you find to be amazing?

The way I fuel for long runs (AKA a walk to the mailbox) is 4 or 5 cups of coffee. I also motivate myself by putting my housecoat on over my pjs. Love you, and proud of you, Brookie!
