I've been trying to go to the track on Wednesdays for an easier / shakeout type workout, and Saturdays for a longer, feel like death workout. I did the exact same thing as I did last week since I was really unhappy with it last week:
5x800 @ 3:19, 3:20, 3:20, 3:21, 3:21. Tacked on a 400 @ 1:39. The rest time varied bc I got bored and was walking to random parts of the track to start...the things we do for variety, eh? =)
I was so discouraged when I did the same thing last week, but today I felt pretty good about it. Here's why (besides lowered standards): Last week, I felt like I was killing myself to complete this workout. This week, I felt like I could have done more. Slow but sure progress I hope!
I wore one of my new, kickass non-slip headbands that I got in the mail for the workout! They stayed put pretty well and I think they are ridiculously cute.
Skinny Runner blogged about this a while back, but in case you are my one reader that doesn't read her blog, Bethanye is making super cute no-slip headbands in exchange for a donation to her Team In Training page! I love her idea...and her headbands. GO BUY SOME!
Without any further delay...here are the headbands:

I know what you're thinking right now:
"Margs....besides the fact that you clearly took these pictures in your bathroom, you look like you sorta dressed up for these pics...different than the usual... like you didn't just step out of a dumpster."
That's correct. I actually put on makeup and combed my hair, solely so that my poor appearance wouldn't be responsible for a huge drop in Bethanye's headband sales!
Speaking of appearances, I've been trying to find a new tinted moisturizer. I barely even own real foundation, so I splurge a little on this stuff instead. What do you use? Is it possible to wear that AND foundation? Clue me in here =)
I looked at some online reviews and a couple brands that kept showing up at the top of the review lists were:
I totally ignored all my research and got josie maran - on the recommendation of the Sephora lady - which I freaking love so far. What I like: SPF 30, and more coverage. Of course, since I wear this stuff like normal makeup as well as for workouts for sun protection, so a little heavier duty stuff works for me to cover up any lovely craters on my face! It might not be awesome for you if you want a lighter feel.
So here's the question of the day:
Do you wear tinted moisturizer? If so, whatcha like?
Yes, and love this Josie Maran stuff.

ALSO - Do you wear makeup when you run?
Nothing beyond the T.M. unless I am running with other people and I don't want them to think I'm a bum. =).
