Ragnar is coming up!

Do you see how stinkn' cute my boys are!?!  This is the end of the last, of three legs that I ran in the Wasatch Back last year.

I will be running the Ragnar, Wasatch Back, Relay Race again, in June.  My team got together Sunday night so that we could decide what runner we would like to be.  I chose one of the more difficult legs.  I'm runner number one.  I'm a little nervous. . . to check out my leg and the all the others or if you just want to learn more about the race, click on the link.  To get to the legs and the race map, click on training and then click on Wasatch Back.  Check it out, I will be putting together a Lanakila team for 2011 (more info to come).

I'm super excited!  The fact that my dear, sweet husband has decided to run with me just makes it that much better.  Thanks Babe. . .

Super Yummy Friday Night Treat

My boys love these cookies and I made them once for my cub scouts and they loved them, they were gone.  I got the recipe from the Runners World web site.

Peanut Butter Blitzes

1/2 C each of wheat and white flour
1/2 C wheat germ
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs or 1/2 cup egg substitute
2/3 C brown sugar
3/4 C peanut butter, natural style
1 tsp vanilla

Combine dry ingredients in a small bowl.  In a mixer, blend eggs, sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla until well mixed.  On low speed, mix in the dry ingredients. Make one-inch balls, roll in granulated sugar, and place on a cookie sheet.  Spread each out with the flat side of a fork (press twice at right angles).  Bake 8 to 10 minutes in a preheated 350-degree oven.  Makes 30 cookies.

About Lanakila. . .

I have always been passionate about health and fitness, for as long as I can remember. I used to do my Mom's "Sweatin to the Oldies" videos (YAY, Richard Simmons!) when I was in third or fourth grade. It all just took off from there, but. . . I have never had a gym pass. I can count on my fingers the amount of times I've been in an "actual" gym.

When I was 16 I got my aerobics instructor certification, but it turns out that I'm not very fond of getting up in front of large groups of people. To make a very long story a little bit shorter, after fighting multiple battles (emotionally and physically) over the last few years, I decided that it's time to fight a different battle. . .

I decided to become a personal trainer and help those who have things that they want to do and goals they want to achieve, but don't feel that they have the strength to do it or just don't know where to start. The best part about it is that you don't have to go to a gym. I want to show you how to accomplish whatever you want from the privacy of your own home.

No more excuses. . .

Excited!

I hear "I can't" way more often than I should. I want people to know that "they can".

I started Lanakila for that purpose. I am so excited to help people achieve goals and win battles that they never thought were possible, whether it's losing weight, running, biking, eating healthier or creating a more active family. Whatever it is that you think you "can't do", I want to show you that YES, "you can". . .
