running headband
Anyone have a dri fit or moisture wicking headband they wear while running that they totally love?
is it just me or...
It seems like ever since I've lost my weight everyone around me seems to be gaining weight. Are they gaining weight or is it an optical illusion? Or maybe I'm just more aware of others and want to help them?
found a cool app!
Just wanted to let y'all know I found a very cool...FREE app available on the ipod touch or iphone. It's called Nike Training Club. It has so many different workouts and you can earn personal "rewards" after completing so many hours. I did my first workout tonight and can't wait to explore more workouts. Enjoy!
