Gym Freaks and Deals

Last night at the gym I kicked my own butt, but let me tell you, the meatballs and freaks were out last night. I don’t know why but my 24 hour fitness seems to be chock-full of the best people watching material ever. Yes, it does make my workout a little bit more interesting, but it’s also annoying with a weirdly chubby but buff armed Steve Jobs look-a-like won’t get off the cable cross machine. After waiting for 20 minutes I gave up. Sits ups were done, free weights were done, StairMaster was done as well, next to a guy who couldn’t stop checking himself out in the mirror. Wonderful.

There are so many characters at the gym, I am almost thinking of making one day a week dedicated to describing one specific person I see at the gym. I feel like this would be humorous, if not to you, then me! We’ll see I know I could take months just describing a small number of the wonderful specimens there last night.

Then I got in a quick mile. a very quick seven minute on the dot mile. I don’t know why I did that but I had so much adrenaline I just kicked up the treadmill and got after it. Oh well, taking it easy today and going to get in some slow easy miles tomorrow and Saturday before the 15 mile trail run on Sunday in Malibu.

Koops for Council!

So as I said yesterday, I was going to a small election party with some family friends to support our close family friend, Dan Koops, as he ran for a seat on the city council for the city of Bellflower. Well the party was actually rather large and fun! They have the amazing and quite delicious Salazars of Bellflower cater and it was yummy. I could have possibly had two churros. Though it was a very close race, in the end Dan came out behind the first place by only 109 votes, and ahead of third place by 113 votes. He got the 2nd seat for city council. It was an exciting night, and of course I had to take some pictures.

Signs were on the front of every lawn in the neighborhood.

Watching the results trickling in.

My cousin Olie and I patiently awaiting the results.

Finally, after a close race, he won!

Congrats Dan and the whole Koops Family!

Tonight, luckily, it’s a gym night for me. I say luckily because I woke up to the sound of rain outside. I don’t run in the rain so I knew it was a good thing that tonight I’ll be hanging out with some cool meatheads and some high schoolers at my local 24. I’ll be doing the cable machine again and then some free weights and I continue on the 200 sit ups a day routine. When I do the sit ups I always put my feet under the couch and just go to town. It usually takes me around 6-10 minutes to finish all of them and I switch from going all the way up and down to doing some arm punches and also doing some quick ones that focus more on the lower abs. They always kill me every time I do them, but at the same time, once I get partially done I just focus on being done and not having to do them again until the next day. It really helps when you’re dying and have 50 more to do.

Tomorrow I’ll have some more deals and then also I’m going to post some of my music because there have been some requests for that.

You should be calling yourself a Shrimp!

So last night at the gym the amp’d abs class was cancelled… BOO! So I decided to take a 30 minute spin class instead. WOW. I don’t think I’ll ever be a ‘spinner’ but seriously, that is one hardcore workout, and I have absolutely no idea how anyone can do that for an hour. Way to much going on for me. Then I finished with a 20 minute run, and 15 minutes on the elliptical and 5 minutes on level 12 on the StairMaster. So overall I did

30 minutes spin = 6 miles
20 minute run = 2.5 miles
15 minute elliptical = 1.5 miles
5 minute StairMaster = 42 floors

I was DYING after the StairMaster too. That thing kicks your butt and I don’t think I’ve ever been as sweaty as I was after that workout, but it felt good to workout hard and this morning I knew I would have to go out for a little recovery run. I had braced myself for rain, which us in CA should be receiving any moment, but it wasn’t happening yet, so it was a nice, dry, 25 minute 3 miler.

Last night when I got home from work I found a box from Nike that I had gotten in the mail and I had no idea what was inside. I took a shower and was eating dinner when it dawned on me that my Nike+ half marathon stuff was inside! I then ripped open the box (really weird that I didn’t care enough earlier to open the box, spin must have REALLY gotten to me) and found my gray finishers shirt, which is really cute, longer and short sleeved, but kind of a weird material, and my Tiffany’s box. The blue box that held my finishers key chain. Well I thought, and I don’t know where I got this preconceived idea, but I thought the key chain would be silver.

Maybe it’s the fact that I didn’t even know Tiffany’s made leather key chains, but when I opened the box, I was still excited and don’t get me wrong I still like it, but seriously? I dunno. See for yourself. I guess I was a insy teeny bit disappointed. It’s just like a Coach key chain, and blue? It’s a girls only race, and you choose blue? Oh Tiffany’s.

The Tiffany’s Box.

The whole T-shirt

Upclose of the t-shirt design

One side of the keychain

The other side of the keychain. Meh! Let me know your thoughts. I know the race entry wasn’t super expensive but what do you think? Did Tiffany’s let me down?

Enough with the keychain. You know what I’m super excited about? It’s pretty embarrassing how excited I am about it, but watch the video below it’s simply AMAZING.

So after that video I don’t want any more excuses… If a SHRIMP can run on a treadmill, you can too! How amazing is that, that little shrimp with what looks like a bazillion legs can run on a treadmill. If you watch long enough they explain why they had a little shrimp do this, and oh, his name is Scamp, if you were wondering.

Lastly, I saw the movie BOLT this past weekend and it was amazing and I loved it! I would seriously recommend it to anyone who wants to see a good, funny movie, even if you are an adult. The hamster is just hilarious and it’s really cute. Oh and last weekend I saw Madagascar 2 and it was hilarious too. I can’t wait until tonight’s Biggest Loser either! More drama is going to ensue, I’m sure of it.

Photo Friday and Cheating at the Gym.

So today is photo Friday, head on over to NikeMom if you want to participate, but this is something that would be found at my desk…

Yup, that’s my 24 hour fitness class calendar, directly next to the coupons I cut out for a Free Grilled Chicken Tortilla Roll from El Pollo loco and oh yes, above that some Chili Cheese Fries coupon from Wienerschnitzel… Hey when a girls on a budget.. Don’t judge me!

Next is the calendar I’ve made to map out what the post for the 26.2 Christmas List is going to be every day.

And you people thought I was messing around. Okay, I admit, yes, I have OCD.

So you all want to know what I did at the gym during Amp’d Abs. Well I was thinking that it would be great if I could somehow take the class home with me so I wouldn’t work out my abs only two days a week at the class. I have a voice recorder for the interviews that I must do for the writing team I’m on and I was talking with my co-worker about recording the class. Then we were wondering how to connect that to a computer and transfer it into my itunes so I could put it on my ipod. Then us little techies (him more than I) realized there is an application for the iphone that I could use. Idicto to be exact. I downloaded it, for 99 cents, and we did a few little trial runs, coming to the conclusion that I would RECORD the amp’d abs class, and then the teacher would just think it was my phone on my mat.

So I got to class, grabbed my mat and set up shop in the front of class. I set up my phone pressed record, and IT WORKED! I recorded the whole class so now I can do the workout at home too. I tried it the next morning and besides about 30 seconds I can totally understand and remember everything. Also the class is starting to kick my butt. Seriously. Two days in a row is too much! But now I can do it one day on the weekend and one more day during the week. I feel kind of bad for recording it, but also, the class has been different every time I’ve gone, which is at a whopping 4 times, but I feel like I can do different workouts every day for my abs once I record more. Yup, I said it, I’m going to record more. I pay for the gym and the classes are free. I shouldn’t feel bad.

Now I can work out on my own and do the class whenever I want. Since I quite possibly might have an addiction to exercise, I’ve already done the class twice since I recorded it. Today is my day off running, but tomorrow I’m super excited to go to Mt. Sac for the CIF Southern Section Finals tomorrow, which a girl I coached last year is competing in. She was (and still is) my star little pupil. I hate to admit it, but I love coaching, I love going to the races and would be at them every weekend if I could. That is so nerdy of me, but it’s the truth. I’ll let you know how she places, because if she does well she could be onto the State Finals. Please say a prayer for her! She needs some extra support, especially running unattached and kind of being unmotivated since basketball season has started and she is still running.

After my recording of Amp’d Abs, I then started thinking craziness that I should record an exercise video and make millions. Then I realized that was ridiculous.

Also with everyone talking about the economy, I realized a solution, you can just become poor like me, and then you’ll feel really good about yourself. Since college, and landing a high paying (cough!) job, I’ve had the most money I’ve had in my entire life. Seriously, a whopping like 2Gs in my bank account and lemme tell you people, I’m feeling good! Just get rid of your money and every cent you make seems like a thousand dollars. You should pay me for all this knowledge.

So go out, record your gym classes, and have a great weekend to all you racers! Especially you phillianites, and those of you in taper, keep going your almost there!

PS. I still recommend the hatphones x 400

Didgeridoo

Yes, you heard me right. If you watched last nights Biggest Loser episode, you know that Ed said that they would be in “didgeridoo” if they lost. What was he talking about? Oh Ed and Heba. This is a didgeridoo… So how would you all be in there?

Anyways, I was a little shocked at the outcome, and though Amy C. was my hero last week, I don’t know if she made the right decision this week. I do admire her ability to ‘forgive and forget’ so to speak with how she kept Vicki after how many times did she call her a backstabbing B? And taking a bite from the Apple? Seriously Vicki is on some type of drug, I tell you.

I will really miss Coleen on the show, and oh by the way, what happened to individual play. Amy C, the moment you fall below your own ‘blue team’ is going to throw you under the bus no questions asked. Bob even was shocked that she sent Brady home, but seriously Bob, she wants to win Biggest Loser, not allow the Blue Team to win. It’s one person who wins, not teams. Anyways, enough venting about Biggest Loser.

Amp’d Abs was really good on Monday, and I did my 20-20-20 and I really feel that it gets a lot of my muscles working and my heart rate going, which is really the key to any work out your going to be doing. I wasn’t sore after the Abs class Tuesday like I was the week before, and I feel like it’s really helping tone. I forget how many different things you can do that really work your abs, including planks, and many different ways of doing sit ups. Tonight I have Amp’d Abs again and I’ll probably do a 30 minute run and a 20 minute bike. Watching them do spin yesterday on the show made me want to get out there and get working out hardcore again.

I am going to run outside tomorrow morning for the first time since the fires happened. The smoke and ash have subsided so that means back out to pound the pavement. It’s only until something gets taken away from you that you realize how much you miss it. What a feeling it is to have that brisk morning air nip at my cheeks and cut through my clothes into my bones. To be able to be outside when no one else is around, it’s irreplaceable.

Today my hat will be delivered! It seemed like it took long enough, so I finally tracked the package this morning. I am so excited to try it out and I’ll let you know how it goes and if it really works as well as the Nike site said it would.

I also found on the Nike site that in their sale section you can purchase shirts from many of the races they’ve put on. So even if you weren’t able to get into many of their sold out races you can still get the t-shirt. Kind of cheating, but oh well, if you really want a shirt they have some cute ones. Good luck on maneuvering that site though, it’s quite the confusing and unorganized site.

I am kind of in a funky weird mood lately. I guess growing up means some things must be let go, and thought it’s hard, I know that it’s a fact of life. I think I’m realizing some peoples true colors, and though painful, I know that it’s for the best. I never thought I would be thankful to the blogging community, but I am glad that everyone is so supportive and has such good advice for so many different things. Who would have guessed it!

Stay out of the didgeridoo!

I wasn’t sore after the Abs class Tuesday like I was the week before, and I feel like it’s really helping tone. I forget how many different things you can do that really work your abs, including planks, and many different ways of doing sit ups. Tonight I have Amp’d Abs again and I’ll probably do a 30 minute run and a 20 minute bike. Watching them do spin yesterday on the show made me want to get out there and get working out hardcore again.

I am going to run outside tomorrow morning for the first time since the fires happened. The smoke and ash have subsided so that means back out to pound the pavement. It’s only until something gets taken away from you that you realize how much you miss it. What a feeling it is to have that brisk morning air nip at my cheeks and cut through my clothes into my bones. To be able to be outside when no one else is around, it’s irreplaceable.

Today my hat will be delivered! It seemed like it took long enough, so I finally tracked the package this morning. I am so excited to try it out and I’ll let you know how it goes and if it really works as well as the Nike site said it would.

I also found on the Nike site that in their sale section you can purchase shirts from many of the races they’ve put on. So even if you weren’t able to get into many of their sold out races you can still get the t-shirt. Kind of cheating, but oh well, if you really want a shirt they have some cute ones. Good luck on maneuvering that site though, it’s quite the confusing and unorganized site.

I am kind of in a funky weird mood lately. I guess growing up means some things must be let go, and thought it’s hard, I know that it’s a fact of life. I think I’m realizing some peoples true colors, and though painful, I know that it’s for the best. I never thought I would be thankful to the blogging community, but I am glad that everyone is so supportive and has such good advice for so many different things. Who would have guessed it!

Stay out of the didgeridoo!
