ooooh...tight!!

I mentioned that I got the old navy compression shorts from their new active line and I am completely in love with them. I can reaffirm this after wearing them on more than a few runs over the last two weeks. I have a new obsession with them. I wanted to share that I got an amazing deal on another pair when I was in the store this week. In store they were on sale for 12.99!! A steal!

After my run, resting enjoying the sunshine for a couple minutes.  My legs look pretty good here if you ask me...

new gym clothes

First thing is first, there was an earthquake yesterday. An earthquake!! It was nothing really, mostly it felt like my dogs were wrestling under my chair. I would have completely ignored it had facebook not almost immediately blown up with reports of it. Obviously there was no damage (thank goodness!!) or even any real effect around here. We are a little more worried about Irene who is barreling up the coast headed right for us. My thoughts are focused more on those in North Carolina and Virginia who will get the brunt of the storm, but we are preparing for some pretty heavy duty winds up here too...

Ok, back to what I actually wanted to write about this morning....more clothes!!

Along the same lines as Monday's post, my gym clothes are getting a bit too big on me. This is great news but also a bit frustrating. As with real clothes, I don't want to spend much money on my transitional workout clothes because I really don't want to be this size for long. So I was pretty excited about the email I got from Old Navy last week about their new activewear line. There are some cute pieces, but I doubt they are high quality. They will work well for now I suppose. I have a bunch of races coming up this fall that I'm going to want some cute running gear for, and I think this might be the answer! All of these are from Old Navy.

Super cute pattern!!

Interesting shape, I'll be interested in seeing how it fits.

Perfect for the transition for fall, a long compression capri pant

For the rest of the summer, I love bermuda shorts!

ps. I'll be back in a bit with my very first oh how pinteresting wednesday!!! so stay tuned!

music

I have been doing really great getting back into my groove at the gym. I haven't been running as much as I would like, but I'm doing other cardio work trying to get my heart and lungs back where they were a month ago before I was a loser and quit working out. (Ok maybe I didn't quit, I just slacked...a lot)

don't be jealous of my super chub calves while I'm sitting at one of the weight machines (yeah I have no idea what it is called - but I believe it works my chest...technical I know)

But now all my music is OLD and tired. My music is in desperate need of a revamping. So I'm looking for some help from you, my fantastic readers! 

What is your favorite song right now? To workout to? To dance in your car to?

Where do you find inspiration for new playlists?

Ok enough with the 20 questions...Off to the gym I go. Here's hoping I can rock it out one more time to the tired boring music!

**updated**

Apparently the machine I was sitting at was actually the seated row, so works my back...not my chest! Oops!

i'm too sexy.

I had a super hot and extra sweaty date with the gym this afternoon.  It was completely glorious. I have zero shame so here are some "shameless self-takes" from the gym. Both the locker room and the parking lot!

Thank goodness for this workout today. It was exactly what I needed. 

work out mix

When training to run a half marathon in Disney World, nothing gets you pumped like some Disney classics. I have revved up my current workout mixes (both gym and running) with some Disney tunes. My current favorite song that gets me up and running is "Zero to Hero" from Hercules. I like to follow that up with "Edge of Glory" by Lady Gaga and I am pumped and working hard!

What gets you up and running? How do you go about finding new music for your mixes?
