My new charm

First off, thanks to you all for your compliments and encouragement. It's great, isn't it that we all can support each other like we do on our runs, fitness, etc. thanx... :-) I'm grateful!


Today is a rest day, thankfully, so no PT to report. I have my official Navy PRT tomorrow morning. I am a bit nervous as I always am (twice a yr). It's not a crazy fitness test, but I always worry that something might go wrong and I don't get the score I'm shooting for. As the former Fitness Leader for our center, I feel a pressure that I need to lead by example. I was the leader for over 4 yrs, and it was time for me to give up the title, for advancement and leadership reasons.

So, we have to do as much sit-ups in 2:00, as many push-ups in 2:00, and 1.5 mile run. Not insane, I know. But, the only drawback I see is doing it all by myself instead of with another 100-150 people. You tend to push more with others around. I just hope there's no wind while I'm running on an abandoned freeway. Yes, that's where we run 1.5, an out-and back. Seems forever.


So, I had lunch with the hubby and his work-wife, Michelle, then I went over to Dicks Sporting Goods to look at running clothes and brought home a new running "Charm". I'm so excited because she will help keep me hydrated while running. I do have a fuel belt, and it's great - don't get me wrong. However, I'm ALWAYS adjusting it, whether it's moving it up or down around my mid-section. Anyways, I read about this particular camelbak in one of my Running mags, and thought it might suit me better. I tried it on and actually ran down the aisle at the store in my dress clothes. I have several Camelbaks from my days roughing it in the fields while on Active Duty, but they're a bit bigger. This one is made for a woman's body, or at least it says so. I'll have to try it out this weekend and see how it does.
Stats on "Charm" - 50oz capacity. "The Charm is a great choice for women looking for a better way to drink on-the-go. Features a comfortable, curved harness, great colors, and 1.5 liters of hydration." Not that any of you care about the specifics, but at least it was a short description.

So, the only thing that sucks about a rest day is having to REALLY watch those calories since I won't burn as many off.... David, light supper tonight? K...
