Tools, Hacks and Tips

[OKCPirate 5,323]

I wanted to share some cool little things that are making it possible to hit some goals this year. My body has changed massively over the last few months and it has allowed me to expand my ideas of what is possible. Two of my major goals are: a 5K run by April 12 and mountain climbing trip in Colorado by July.

To get the 5K done I am using the Couch to 5K program. (dips.

If you have figured out a tip/trick/hack that helped you meet a goal, please feel free to share and encourage.

Love the idea of the Colorado climbing trip! Climbing Mt. Blanca is on my bucket list. Anywhooo, not sure if you've climbed/hiked at that elevation before, but give yourself 2-3 days of acclimation time before taking on a strenuous Colorado hike . Trust me!

Couch to 5k actually has an app if you have a smart phone (I think it's 5k runner) that plays over your own music.

You have have your own playlist on your phone and whenever it's time the music lowers a bit and the voice prompts come on.
