First, how many times lately do you hear me say this? Yeah pretty much never: I had a solid workout week!
- All of my runs felt strong.
- I made it to yoga, didn’t tear or rupture anything and split shorts guy was a no-show.
- I went to cycle class and was called a ‘new face.’ Oops.
- Did all of my strength and core workouts.
Can I get a boom shakalaka?
The only thing I didn’t do was get out on Blanche the trusty road bike. This was for safety reasons as Blanche seems to have little to no brakes left. I think she needs a spa day.
Do you have your bike tuned up?
I am still Garmin-less so my paces are a mystery. But whatever they were they felt good and that’s what counts right? About that Garmin: I planned on using my REI coupon for a new one until I realized GPS devices were not eligible for the discount. Sigh. Soooo I’m playing the field until a good deal crosses my path. I’m going to try some iPhone apps and see if any of those float my boat.
Do you use a smart phone run tracking app?
My new addition:

I call her Katniss. Since there is no new Garmin to name Katniss, this will have to do. Isn’t she pretty? Her maiden creation was going to be some black bean brownies, alas we had a tween sleepover this weekend and the brownies never happened.
Alright, enough about my weekend shenanigans and on to the Champion winners!

The great people at Champion recently sent me some bras to try out. Lucky readers you get to see not 1, not 2 but 3 sweaty bra pics!

Here’s the Champion Shape T-Back Bra. I adore the colors.
The straps and racer-back are thinner and the front is nicely contoured and more low-cut than the others. This bra is designed for high- impact activities like running, tennis and soccer.

Here’s the Double-Dry Absolute Workout Bra. It was the highest cut of the 3 I tried. There’s a mesh panel in back to keep you cool.
It’s designed for medium-impact activities like walking, pilates and yoga. Comes in this fun pattern too!

Here’s the Double-Dry Seamless reversible bra. This one is super-soft and the band around your back/ribs doesn’t dig or roll. Plus hello seamless and reversible! Love!
This one’s designed for medium-impact activities as well.
Being an A-cup girl on my largest day (hey A cup = A list!) I ran up to 13 miles in each of these styles with no problems at all. I also wore them for bootcamp, yoga and plyometric intervals. They are all free of annoying tags, and I experienced no discomfort or chafing–even under very humid conditions during our spring break cruise. I was blown away with how quickly these suckers dry. Significantly faster than my other bras. Overall I was very impressed with all 3 of these styles and their prices won’t break the bank either.
WIN IT!
3 lucky readers will each win a champion bra!
