When's the Last Time I've...?

Yesterday, I caught myself saying 'Dang...when's the last time I've done this?' when I hit the gym for the first time this week. For me, it was like this:


When's the Last time I've:


1. Listened to music during a workout. (uh... months. I just never do, because I focus on my form, cadence, breathing, etc)

2. Been inside my gym's cycling studio (uh...again months! Because all my riding has been outdoors to gear up for Vineman


3. Been on a Stairmaster (uh...months! No need for it during active training phase)

4. Worn my most favorite running shorts for a 15 min spin  (Can ya guess?...months!) And I freakin' love these shorts. Love them so much that I hope to have a review/giveaway of em' or it's matching skirt in the near future) 

Well, I DID it all yesterday, and had to take (yet another!) pic to capture the moment: Earphones in, listening to music on my phone, while spinning in my running shorts inside the cycling studio. And it was just SO fun!


Also, on a lil' different note, I want to acknowledge many of your comments on my 'big guns' for arms. When's the last time I've had arms like this you may ask? Well, NEVER!! so I'm gonna ride this 'Buffed Arms' wave, cuz I don't know if they'll be with me forever, but they're here for the moment.

That's my revelations this week. Now, my question to you: Do you have a : 'When's the Last time I've done this?...(fill in the blank!) to share? Talk to me, talk to me!

....done a swim workout by myself (a real workout, not just swimming). Until yesterday it had been a very very very long time. But I did it yesterday. And again today. Sort of fun. Actually goes by faster because I didn't have anyone to talk to between sets.

....run? Over a week ago.

I love love love those shorts too! I love them so much that I end up wearing them around as comfy errand-running everyday shorts. I need to get a second pair!

When's the last time i've...

...gone swimming, real swimming with goggles and laps? It had been over a month, but I went two days ago (yay!)

...gone to a group training run? Month and a half :( Too much travel lately--and I miss my running buddies!

All of the above for me too(except the shorts). I miss the weight training the most. I used to be a die hard gym rat pumping iron, I mean serious weight, sloooooow. I miss the burn. So hard to fit it all in now with swim, bike, run.

Aside from that.....When was the last time I've had two glasses of wine or two beers in a sitting? MONTHS. Not since I started training for my first HIM back in November (the race was in June and I still haven't). Can't seem to tolerate it anymore...this is a good thing.

I've been meaning to stop by all week and check out your vineman recap but I haven't yet (I'll do that next). Glad you had a good workout and got to do a few things you haven't done in months!

When's the last time I've run with music? Several months ago- April, perhaps? I went to a swim clinic in the early spring and someone asked the instructor his opinion of the underwater mp3 players, and he said he thought they were a bad idea for training because they "dissociate you from the workout" and went on to say the same thing about running with music. I decided to lay off the iPod for awhile, and I'm not sure if it can be attributed to that, a new coach/new workouts, more training time, or some combination, but my running has definitely improved this summer. It's been since March (?) since I hit the gym, and I'm starting to miss that a bit too!

When's the last time I've...had cereal. I know weird. I just don't like it. I want to like it but everytime I buy a box and try to eat it, it just doesnt' work.

I LOVE those shorts--was gonna say it before you even mentioned it! Glad you're having fun doing a few things you haven't done in a long while. Mine would have to be when's the last time I did a really long bike ride? It's been forever...one of these days I'm going to grab some pals and get out there for a long session on wheels instead of shoes!

Michelle and Madonna better watch out for your guns! :) You look cute in those shorts.
When was the last time I talked to my mom? Almost 3 weeks. We are in different countries and I haven't spoke to her/dad for about 3 weeks. I am hoping they are somewhere vacationing.

I don't think I've been on a stairmaster for about five years. My gym got remodeled in 2005, and, even though it's huge, I don't think there are more than 5 stairmasters in its multi-storied glory.

Last I listened to music is when I taught spin yesterday and yes that was the last time I was on a spin class indoors. The funny thing is I haven't been on an outdoor bike in over a year because I'm always teaching spin and we sold my road bike (sad). We're waiting till next year and more $$ to me a new one. Till then, I will be a running machine, haha.
Cute shorts!

...had a pepsi or 7up...I just don't anymore. I used to love that with certain, perhaps not so healthy, meals. Geez, this is making me realize how my eating habits have really changed.

You look great and I love the shorts!

Just read your race report and 'yay!' SO stoked for you! I was thinking about you but have been so crazy lately couldn't read anyone's blogs. Way to rock it! You must still be on your high!

Ok...when was the last time I've...well, every day is new for me as I've never been preggo before!

Way to go!

I thought of another good one to add after a 5 hour bike ride, 1 hour run brick in 95-degree heat: When was the last time a shower felt THIS good? Not since after my half ironman last August!

I tried to order those shorts a while back and they were out of stock. No rain check or back order either. Boooo!

Those shorts look a lot like my Lululemon. Love them! You look great! I have no interest in going to the gym. I used to, but now it seems boring to me. Honestly, I love my life the best when I am training. I would not change a thing.

I think about my very own youngsters and yeah, it could have taken that normally. ! I got my RRCA certification this yr.Essay Help Online UK I use it each for coaching and for giving my writing voice greater credibility. The bike one is straightforward, it's just a written test, I have not acted on it yet.
