If you look over your shoulder you will see 2011 fast approaching so how is everyone doing with their health and fitness goals?. Please exucuse my absence for not blogging in a long time, i trust everyone is doing well

See Jane Run 1/2 Marathon. The closest I have been to a sub 2. We started fast, it was nice and cool. Through the middle, it got hot.  Maintained a good pace. Towards the end, I tried not to think about it and focused on each mile and ran each as fast as I could.

Hello TEAM MO and happy friday hope all is going well with everyone. in the last few weeks i have been trying to figure ways to increase my workouts and burn more calories.the idea was not random but inspire by MO
Mo,s stairway 2 heaven videos made me realize that i could do the same thing @ work. So for the last 2 weeks i have been going to work about 45 mintues early it just so happens that my job has 12 flights of stairs in the building how lucky for me (yikes)

Yes, I did it again.  PR's are awesome aren't they?  The Inaugural Oakland Running Festival was a small and fun race.  The hills weren't that bad, in fact, I charged up them as fast as my little legs could carry me.  I think I was good until mile 16, by then we lost Alex (before mile 10), Francis was feeling strong so Janette stayed with me cause she could see that I was struggling.  Actually, she said my eyes started glazing and she didn't think it was a good thing.

I have officially set a new PR after the LA Marathon, and not only
that–I took off 40 minutes from my last PR!! I still can’t believe that
I broke my old record, by that much.

For this blog I must admit I did not do my homework but I would love for TEAM MO to chime in. We all know the benfits of weight loss and eating right and you cannot deny that excerise adds years to your life.
Ok here is the scene picture this if you will a person has just lost over 100 pounds and by eating right and working out after 35 years of junk food and no excerise here we have a person in the last 2 years has made a complete turn around

This week, I started my 1st day of my 7th year as a volunteer coach. for Girls on the Run www.girlsontherun.org.
 
As we sat in a large circle, one by one, we all introduced ourselves and why we're a part of Girls on the Run. I started my intro as "My name is Mona Liza Reyes. Also known as coach Momo and I've been a volunteer coach for 7 years." I couldn't help but laugh out loud because the thought occurred to me that I've been coaching since the year that some of these girls were barely born! The ages of the girls I coach ranges from 8 - 11 years old (3rd - 5th grade)

Inspired by the timeless "Just Do It." campaign by Nike.
I found it appropriate to share these simple 3 words as a reminder to everyone.
 
In the past, I have been guilty of trying to please everyone. Wanting so much to make everyone happy and compromising my own joy. I worried alot about what others thought or said about me. And as a result of that,I've wasted time thinking about things I want to say, to do, become and accomplish.
Everything I am, is from the heart. Everything I do, is from the heart.
