I was very tired, so I didn't want to "think" about my workout too much, so I decided to do a full hour on the elliptical, picked a program, grabbed a few magazines, started working out. Have you ever watched that video on facebook about inappropriate gym goers? Well there is the "singer" and that is who I had beside me after about 10 minutes into my program. He was an older guy with the big Bluetooth headphones. It was kind of funny at first, and then I realized after about another 10 minutes he was doing a cardio day :( Most guys get on the elliptical for 15 minutes (if that) then go lift weights. This guy decided to camp in beside me. He started off "ooing" and singing out the occasional word, then amped it up into sing full verses. Full voice. It was really annoying. It was the only time I wished (badly) that I hadn't forgot my headphones. So note to self, buy a pair of headphones to leave in the gym bag. Besides he was a bad singer.
Today was my long run day, and I did 10km. I also need to remember on my run: Kleenex, and my bula. It looks sunny out there, but I need something to cover my ears, that wind was deadly today. I'm not sure what other things you need out there when you are running but I do need to plan a little when I get up in mileage. I drive my route and drop off water, (I HATE) carrying water, I make sure I wear my good smart wool socks and I have a great lotion I wear on my feet, ever hear of Mary Kay extra emollient lotion? it is like the best smelling lotion and I have used it on my feet for years and never get blisters. I also use coconut oil on my face, just keeps it from getting chafed by the wind and works as a mild sunscreen. I also put peppermint oil on the back of my hand, and I when I need a little boost I take a good whif, a little aromatherapy! Let me know your tricks and tips for running, we all have them :)
