T.T.T. Numero Dos

It's time for Three Tangent Tuesday.  It's our new tradition, right!?

1. Fans on treadmills = GENIUS!  There is nothing like a fan on both sides of you as you run on a fast moving belt right next to 20 other sweaty people.  Maybe it makes us feel like we are outside in a cool breeze, maybe it helps people {not me} sweat less thereby keeping the stink in the gym down?  I don't know.  All I know is that when I run on a treadmill without one I feel like I am going to suffocate. The tiny fans on the treadmill saved my 8 mile treadmill run today.  Thank you fan geniuses.

2.  As I was huffing through above mentioned run today I was looking around for something to keep my attention for 70 mins.  I spotted a guy doing toes-to-bar on the pull up bars and immediately thought  CROSSFIT!  Do you know what toes-to-bar is? That's where you hang on a bar and lift your toes to the bar, essentially folding yourself in half.  It's hard. Then I watched him struggle through what seemed like a billion sets of handstand push-ups.  I counted them with him and wanted to yell, "you got this, one more!!" That would have been weird, so I didn't.... but it made me reminisce about my Crossfit days when I used to do those same workouts.  Handstand push-ups were my ultimate fave!

This isn't a handstand push-up, but it's the best I can give you.  How do I not have pictures of me doing handstand push-ups?? I love HANDSTANDS!!


3. Justin Bieber.  I am too old to admit this.  I should be embarrassed, but I'm not.  I heart me some J.B. Don't worry, it's not a crush.  That would be weird, he could probably be my child.  But I have this little soft spot in my heart for this young kid, who is actually really talented, that made it so young.  I think he is adorable, and my 14-year-old self actually likes a couple of his songs.  I couldn't decided if Ben was impressed or appalled last night when I busted out all the lyrics to "Baby".  We'll just assume he was impressed.  Don't lose your adorable-ness or your awesome hair JB.

While I am admitting things I am too old for I may as well confess that I will probably see his movie when it comes out.  Me, Ben and all the 14 year-olds in the NW.  Don't worry - I won't go opening weekend.
