Random Thoughts . . .

Speaking of mud that leads me to the second run I sighed up for the Xtreme Mud Warrior. This one is described as a 5k with multiple obstacles in the way which includes some mud crawling. I’m hoping that I can handle these obstacles though since there’s no real description of them on the site. This one will be the next run up on the schedule (unless I find another one before then) on October 20th. I have done one other mud run before- the hubs and I did Muddy Buddy back in 2011, but that’s a little different. On that one you have a partner and it’s 6 miles you alternate between running and bike riding between obstacles. Luckily on that one the obstacle weren’t as hard as they built up some of them included inflatable slides. I’m hoping this one is the same effect and the obstacles aren’t not too hard. I’ll let you know in October . . . 

After my morning of signing up for runs and browsing my usual blogs. I got changed and headed to the gym. I’m quite proud of myself for being more of a regular at the gym these days. We’ve been a member of this gym around the corner from our house for the last 18 months and this is the most I’ve gone consistently in that entire time. It’s about time because I feel so much better when I work out more often. Speaking of the gym I have to tell you about my new head bands I got to keep my hair out of my face while working out. I always want to wear headbands but they always slip right off the back of my head. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!! It’s so annoying and I pretty much gave up, that is until I read about BIC Bands on another blog. They came with the promise that they do not slip off and I was skeptical because I’ve bought others that claim the same thing. I looked them up and read about them and I decided to give them a chance. I ordered two of them (I guess I had high hopes!) and they came in the mail yesterday and I was so excited to try them because they’re also very cute. I tried them on and was a little afraid the weren’t gonna fit on my big head but  I managed to get them on properly and they seemed to be staying in place quite well. I was just cooking and sitting around watching tv yesterday so I still didn’t know how they would hold up during an actual work out. Well good news! I work one to the gym today and after a 5 mile run on the treadmill, a few weights, and 45 minutes on the elliptical it was still in place and I did not have to adjust it at all once. It even continued to stay in place while I went grocery shopping, too the dog out and cooked dinner!! I’m totally going to be ordering more of them in the future!!

This one is teal and sparkly!! Love it!!

My last random thought is that I discovered this app on my phone called “Pimp my hair” and it’s hilarious! I’m  serious, it literally cracks me up every single time!! You can take a picture of someone and change their hair styles to all kinds of different ones!! Here’s an example for you using my friend Lacey!!
