Hello Gorgeous and fellow triathlon gals! To keep my hair back away from my face while running and biking I'm using these Goody no slip head bands and some clips to keep the strays in place!
There are many choices and colors to choose from so you can match your hair accessories to your bike and sneakers.
Goody is sold everywhere. Or just about? Like a Walmart, Target, CVS, Rite Aid, Ulta, just name a big beauty retailer and I'm betting you will finds some there. The best part is, after racing in the Ironman, you can keep training in these for the next event. Such as...Tough Mudder!

So here it is the weekend, the Labor day weekend and if you are traveling I pray grace grace to you! I am saving my travel for next weekend so in the meantime I am relaxing while Mancub mows the lawn.

I have recently begun training for my first triathlon race and I so enjoy reading this magazine. It's a local Arizona fitness magazine called Sweat that is so full of sporty things to do.

If you and your family need some outdoorsy activities this is a good source for physical recreation. Yes, I am aware of how hot it is outside! It's still hot enough that I am sweating getting dressed to go run and the pool is as warm as a bath! Though I'm looking forward to my first sprint triathlon in November...or so I am planning!

Okay, onto the nail polish by China Glaze. I have seen this brand in the pedi place I go to and they usually have fun colors. The ones that showed up for testing are:

Foxy, Ingrid (which is on my left hand) and Emerald Fitzgerald which is on my right.

I applied two coats and the color is deep and vibrant. I doubt on me that it will get much of a chance to show durability, wear and chip resistance because I let me nails grow for this story and have been itchin' to cut them off as soon as possible.
I'm more of a pedicure person than a manicure because I type so much! If I am not rippin' 100 wpm on the keyboard then I am hands deep with Mister Mancub-oh and if not with him then I am doing makeup and my fingers are around someone's eyes so I don't wear polish in case a client is sensitive.

Alas, I tried these, liked 'em and you can too! Find out more at www.chinaglaze.com

See you out there...running...swimming...biking!

Triathlon For Girls Like Us...who wants to train?

Hey gals
I got this book in the mail, read it and loved it. In fact, I think I'm having a God *Wink* moment. I seriously have been thinking about it for some time now that I want to compete in a triathlon. You know, for the fun of it and the accomplishment.

I have the running part down, and with some kind of bum padding I think the bike is going to be doable, it's the swimming I'm concerned about. I am a strong swimmer but don't do it alot.

It's not like I'm signing up for the Ironman, I'm signing up for the half-Ironman.
So, does anyone want to join and train?

The God *Wink* book I received is by Gloria Safar and it's called "Triathlon For Girls Like Us" and it's a great layout of what and how you need to train to be ready.

It has this great chapter on nutrition which is so imporant! When I ran the P.F. Chang's Rock n Roll half marathon, when I finished, I had the race exit snacks and then ate some Taco Bell and drove back to my house which was 4 1/2 hours away! Nuts! Okay, so now I know how NOT to do it.

I'm thinking I'm going to start lining up the necessary details to compete in the half-Ironman triathlon. Join me!
