End of the Week Link Roundup
Honestly, I am somewhat disappointed in myself that I’ve fell off my working out and eating right and I really do want to change that. October was a pretty stressful month, and I have to get used to so many new things that it totally makes me feel exhausted by the end of the day! I really want November to be my getting back to it month, so planning is very important, and I have the weekend to do it, along with getting some R&R.
Here are what other blogs in the blogosphere are discussing about:
FitSugar posts about the ban of iPods and MP3 players at marathons or races by the USA Track and Field Association. In my opinion, I’m totally against this because music, to me at least motivates me! I’ll never forget the first song I was listening to when I ran my first 5k race: Kanye West’s Stronger. It totally pumped me up and the other songs made me feel motivated to finish.
Back In Skinny Jeans discusses easing into living healthy to swan diving into it. Her advice is definitely on point and with experience you definitely have to ease into it. Changing your lifestyle like this is definitely tough, and keeping at it is a whole other animal. I totally am determined it could be done, for me, that is.
Workout Mommy explains the power of the pushup and how to exactly do one correctly. The idea is definitely simple, but the right form isn’t. I remember when I was younger I could do pushups forever! Now, it’s not so easy, but they’re a great exercise for the arms and overall body. And, they can be done anywhere!
Trying Fitness brings up an important question: How do you know you’re doing an exercise correctly? I am always aware of this and make sure I’m doing my workouts correctly. Otherwise, what’s the point? It’s not helping you much, right?
This week has brought a lot of great posts on the web! Have a great weekend, and don’t forget to turn your clocks back tomorrow night! Yay, an extra hour of sleep!

Halloween is the kick off of sedentary lifestyle and endless celebration :(. I had overeaten during the Halloween and apparently will be busy in preparing all sort of celebration until December. I agree with you that without planning it’s hard to fit exercise into our daily routine.

Music may motivate you, but it also means that insurance costs can become prohibitive, especially for smaller races.
It’s far easier to just follow the rules set forth by the governing body of the sport and ban them.
Personally, I don’t have a problem with them as long as the runner isn’t oblivious to those around him and doesn’t become an obstacle or put them in danger.
I’d never listen to music while running or racing myself, though. I’m too paranoid about getting hit by a car again.
