My Current Obsession

 

What are you listening to?

Cross Training Does the Body Good

We now have instead of a day off, a pool workout. We aqua jog once a week.

I like this because it eliminates the pounding on your legs that running causes but still gives a workout.

We had a 8 minute warmup then a 20 minute workout with hard and easy intervals and then an 8 minute cooldown.

Coach said when aqua jogging your pulse should be at least 20/21 beats per 10 seconds.

The two times we tested mine was 24 and 25. Success.

This workout was equivalent to 4 miles running.

dinner was not very good tonight. I got a little bit of “fettuccini alfredo” which should’ve been called “bowtie alfredo” but I won’t get technical. Then I had some bow ties with meat sauce but the noodles were OVERcooked. Ew. The hot dog with chili and cheese was good. They didn’t have buns when I went up, but it was probably better without anyway.

Then I saw some girl with some fresh fruit!! They must’ve just put it out so I ran like no other and grabbed some!

I honestly love fruit!!!

I was still hungry so of course I grabbed the go to food if there isn’t anything else good: pizza.

Part of my homework was to analyze some research done on calcium absorption.

I thought I would let you all read the article, it’s quite interesting.

All in all: the study resulted in the two ice cream formulations having the same amount of calcium and similar ingredients proved the calcium absorption to be almost equivalent to calcium absorption of reduced fat milk.

Here’s the abstract of it, but to get the full text you have to have an account.

Television

I also watched Hellcats from last week and I really liked it.

I can’t wait to watch it again!

Also One Tree Hill started tonight, however I only watch tv days later online.

I don’t have time to watch at night.

Do you watch tv at it’s scheduled time, or watch it when it’s convenient for you?

Running Playlists and Running Breakdown

Q: Do you listen to music when you work out?

I was contacted by the 5 FOR SPORTS–Team about a campaign they are doing.

They are collecting 5 songs from each person that enters.

These songs are songs that motivate you to run, workout and train.

When you enter your 5 songs you are entered into a drawing to win prizes.

So not only will you get a chance to win awesome prizes but you’ll get to see other songs that motivate people when this is all said and done.

So go check it out!! http://www.5-for-sports.com/

This website is also really cool because you can find Running Songs based on Running Speed and Musical Genre. Not only can you do that but if you have a song you really love to run to, you can enter it as your “reference song” and it’ll come up with other results like it.

I submitted my 5 songs that I’ve currently been listening to on my runs.

 

Speaking of 5 songs that motivate runners, my mom was reading fitness magazine and found Kara Goucher’s 5 songs that keep her “pounding the pavement”

Here they are:

1. Let’s Get It Started – Black Eyed Peas
2. Timebomb – Beck
3. Say Goodbye to Love – Kenna
4. Somewhere Only We Know – Keane
5. For the Girl – The Fratellis

 

 

Month	Miles
January	96.84
February	111.11
March	125.25
April	77.74
May	49.28
June	86.54
July so far	69.85

 

 

As you can see March was the highest mileage because April was my half marathon. Then of course the next month of May was my time off from running to recover.

Now onto mileage for the week.

 

Playlist Monday

 

Because of my love of music and I love listening to it while working out, I’m going to start a playlist monday!

Playlist Monday is going to be a series where you enter some of your favorite songs at the moment.

This way everyone can see maybe what new songs came out that are good to workout to.

So post your favorite songs! It’s Playlist Monday!!!
