Total Distance
4.50

I think the two unknown trainers on the biggest loser last night should have been Richard Simmons and Chuck Norris :)

2 mile warm up on the treadmill at a 7:50 pace.  I ran twice yesterday, once in the morning and once in the evening, so my legs felt heavy this morning. So I was banished to elitpical hell for 1 hr and 8 minutes. Then I hobbled back to the treadmill where Julie and Roy the meat head were waiting for me to chitty chat. So another 2.5 on the treadmill. Running then walking on an incline. Merri joined us after awhile as well. Fun times! :)

I talked so much that last 30 min of my workout that by the time I looked at the clock it was a little after 7. Yikes! Hubby leaves around this time. So I worked with my free weights a bit at home. :)

And now I will spend the rest of my morning sipping hot chocolate and going through my new VS magazine picking out my new swim wear 2011.... suggestions? Concerns? Lay it on me peeps

You should google "burkini". There are some great modest options there. After all, modest is hottest.

From Lily on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 11:55:22 from 67.199.181.73

Modest is hottest.....hmmmm.... really? I thought letting your butt cheeks hang out all the time was acceptable?? No? :)

From Lily on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 11:56:26 from 67.199.181.73

WOW that bathing suit is just pure awesomeness! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From jun on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 11:56:26 from 66.239.250.209

I think you should go with the uni-thong - the one piece thong. Hahaha.

Ok, in all honesty, VS bathing suits? I've never been a super fan of theirs. They are kinda standard.

From Lily on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 11:58:36 from 67.199.181.73

Ooooooo Jun, true be that. They are standard however the last couple years I notice they are trying to break out of their shell. I did see a couple so far that I like.

All I can say is that all of you in UT rock. I am pretty sure I don't belong on this blog because (a) I am from PA and (b) you all kick my butt when it comes to distance and times for running. But I love reading what you all are doing and it motivates me. I actually put on my blog that I braved it out and ran in 23 degree weather yesterday. I now realize I am a wimp and for you guys 23 would feel like summer.

From jun on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 12:06:14 from 66.239.250.209

Booger, . . . . I mean Bugger, come on, 23 is pretty dang cold. Well, it's sorta cold . . . unless the sun is out and then it's a balmy spring day. Ha. And only Lily and Allie are fast. People like me are slow.

And bald.

With a cool beard.

From Lily on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 12:09:02 from 67.199.181.73

LOL booger....ahahaha But really....Bugger 23 is cold, but after the last week 23 actually feels better. However I am still a winter time whimp and I do loose some outside fitness until spring, then I have to work harder to get it back+speed and it's an all around pain in my asprin.

Jun you are fast and you know it. Own it my brotha

From Bugger on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 12:30:10 from 173.13.38.210

Wow...first time I comment and I get Booger...you guys are as fast with the tongue as you are on your feet...lol. Jun if you consider yourself slow then I need to think about changing my name to Turtle and Lily please do not laugh at Jun and encourage him...lol.... And maybe I feel a little better about thinking it was cold out...thanks

Get something to show off your core...

From RAD on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 14:36:02 from 67.172.229.125

Okay, so I'm a nerd - didn't get VS until I googled it. Thought I'd take a look at what their suits are all about - NOPE! The domain is blocked on my computer for inappropriate content :) (Bugger, you sure you want to get involved with us crazy Utahns?) I was happy that my computer caught such sites, but dang! Oh well...I personally avoid swimsuits and shopping for them at all costs! They are nasty evil things that just make me depressed and hate my body, so I think I will be going with the burkini this year.

Bugger, 23 IS cold! If you notice, most of us are running on a TM inside. Plus, you want slow...you can come on over to my site and then you will feel like speedster!

From Merri on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 15:23:08 from 160.7.252.148

I say Rachel starts a Burkini 5 & 10k. All runners must wear a burkini to participate.

From RAD on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 15:33:45 from 67.172.229.125

AWESOME! I think I'll put it on my goal list :) It will be around daybreak lake so that you can take a swim afterward if you wish.

From Carina on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 15:45:56 from 204.15.86.83

I got a VS swimsuit last year, I was very disappointed when I saw someone wearing the exact same one at the pool one day. Grrr.... I actually really like Delias swim suits. I haven't looked this year, but my favorite one from last year was from delias.com.

From Burt on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 16:41:17 from 206.19.214.144

Go with whatever shows off the most cellulite.

From allie on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 20:39:24 from 174.23.238.75

hi bugger -- *high five*

hi lily -- i suggest something like this:

http://peopleofcollege.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Duct-Tape-Bathing-Suit.jpg

it keeps all the water off your skin and it is very affordable. i actually make these myself and i am willing to sell you one for a discount. please PM me if you are interested (and please be interested -- i need to eat tonight).

From KP on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 22:44:22 from 64.134.180.66

Nevels and I are at Starbucks and he wants me to tell you that he always gets his bikinis from VS. He likes hot pink. The sluttier the better!

From Burt on Wed, Jan 05, 2011 at 22:45:37 from 72.223.84.236

Oh my gosh allie! Those are really...nice. I'll take two.

KP - Nevels looks good in a thong. Real good.
