I believe in what you do, I believe in watching you

Workouts:

Thursday:

40 minutes on the Elliptical, 20 minutes arms and Abs.

I have to tell a quick story about the gym. I do free weights. I think they are quicker (I hate adjusting machines) and I can pull the Bo Cu ball right up to my area and make quick transitions between arms and abs. But, the triceps machine was right next to the free weights area. These guys were doing burn outs on the triceps machine (the one where you stand up and pull the Y shaped rope). The one machine, out of all of them where isolating your muscle is the most important thing...and there they were pulling with their backs, shoulders and biceps...probably going nothing for their tricepses...OH well, since I do not work at the gym anymore I did not use my line, "can I show you how to make your workout even better?"

Saturday

Swam at the Sports Barn with Mom

30 minute swim 1/2 mile. I THOUGHT we did a mile until I realized a length was up and back!

LOVE, plan to add to repertoire! DO need a swim cap!

Sunday

I decide to do ONE road run before the race. I did a 40 minute run. 2 minute walk three minute run. I thought I could do 4 minute run, 1 minute walk...might go for that later in the week (if I feel better).

I decided to give my Halo Headband a try.

Here are the before pictures:

And the after:

LOVE IT! Most of all because I have a BIG head (this is a reality, not me being self critical) and I have never found a headband that does not slip back on my head. This head band STAYED on my head! I should have taken a picture of this too...but it has a great "Gripper"on the inside that holds the headband in place! And you can see the layer of sweat above the headband on my hair...that was not running down mt face!

I encourage ANYONE who is looking for ahead band to go over to All things Triathlon and check out this Halo Headband!

And, since I am highlighting my blogger friends I thought that I would also show off my dual braces, thanks to Colleen!

I am feeling under the weather this morning and skipped my workout. There are two possibilities for this ailment. We had a sushi dinner last night for my brother in law's birthday and Tommy and Jimmy (the nephews) were under the weather OR I spent most of the day outside yesterday...so the allergies might have kicked in.

I have to go to Nashville tomorrow and have a LONG day Wednesday too...so I am taking it easy today. I did check out the hotel in Nashville and it does have a nice workout room.

So, plan for the week

Tuesday

40 minute Elliptical, 10 minute arms and abs

(probably have to get up at 5:00, instead of 5:30 to get to Nashville on time, SO I really hope I feel better...day off and meds should help!)

Wednesday

3 mile run...4 minute run, 1 minute walk

Thursday

20 minute Elliptical, 20 minute swim

Saturday

5K race!

As ya'll know I love picture, so I wanted to end with a few new ones:
