A love inspired spinning playlist for Valentine’s Day

//  by 

It's the season of love hearts, chocolates and flowers which means it's time for a new spinning playlist! Though this playlist could be used for running, hitting the gym, gardening or having a dance around your kitchen *ahem*. This playlist is a rehash of one I made last year but never got around to posting, because I suck. Ok maybe I don't totally suck, but I kept saying I'd post playlists regularly and never got around to it, bad blogger! So here is the new updated valentine, love, …

//  by 

Ok time for some MUSIC! Here is one of my playlists from September 2014. This one was a fun mix of old, new, dance, rock, pop, country and rap... pretty much like most of my playlists really. A totally eclectic mish mash of music. I'm going to try and get another playlist up in October, for Breast Cancer Awareness, Golds Gym is doing some fundraising so I like to add my own flair, so I'll try to finalize a playlist for that soon :) Here's the September playlist: Now or Never - Outasight. …

Cycling – training for duathlon

//  by 

One of the things I wanted to do before the next duathlon (March 9th) is to get some bike training done. I'm pretty happy with how I ran at the last duathlon on Feb 9th but I just didn't feel confident on the bike at all. Yes granted it was only my third time on the bike, and Bob had to replace the tubes and crank just days before the race so I had every right not to feel 100% with the bike really. So after the last duathlon one thing I said to Bob was that I wanted to get more bike time. Well …

Race Recap: Camarillo Duathlon 2014 #1 – February

//  by 

  In October 2013 we did our first duathlon and it was so much fun, hard but fun! We knew we wanted to do it again and Elite Sports Ventura County has a series of duathlons throughout the year that we knew we wanted to do as many as possible in 2014. That meant signing up for February, March and Aprils events, as well as becoming a USAT member! As always the goal with ANY race is to push to finish and beat your own previous time. As this course is the same as last years it's a great way to …

//  by 

This post is inspired by an article I saw last week on NBC news and I thought I'd add my twist to.

The article had some great points and I thought to myself "Self, that's a great idea for a blog post"! So here are my 5 workouts that need to just slink off into fitness mediocrity in 2014. Cycle class mashup madness The above mentioned NBC article mentioned yoga mash ups, but one of my …

Review – CORE Foods

//  by 

Before I went to England in January/February I signed up to take part in a review for CORE foods. Just before we were due to leave they contacted me telling me the food was due to arrive, as I knew I'd be out of the country I asked them to delay till I got back and they agreed :) When I got home mid February my sample pack arrived later that week. I want to thank CORE foods for their understanding. I really wanted to do this review and they accomodated my last minute travel plans. So on with the …

Spinning Playlist #3

//  by 

I have a pretty eclectic taste in music, and I like my spin classes to reflect that. I’ve had great feedback from classes regarding my music and I’m always open to trying different songs, different styles and mixes. The Spinning Playlist #3 features songs new and old, and from genres ranging from rap, rock, dance and metal! I think this also means that there is something for EVERYONE on every playlist I create. When I create new playlists I try to keep a few songs the same, so you may see a …
