Fitness Friday....5 Weird Things

On tap for today is a mash-up!  After spending a month with my family, our niece is an expert at mash-ups!  She can start with a song she learned at VBS and finish with something like Dynamite...it really is a talent!

For today's mash-up I am not going to sing, (lucky you although I did sing with Kenny Rogers when I was young), I am going to mash together Fitness Friday hosted by the great Jill Conyers and Day 10 of the Blogger Challenge hosted by the also great Fitness Cheerleader!  Don't forget to visit these ladies and check it all out!
Day 10's question is 
What are 5 weird things that you like?
I'm not sure if these are super weird but I am going to pick 5 weird fitness related things I like!  Enjoy!
1.  Sweating a lot....Now this is only fitness related.  Yesterday when I was sweating my face off I was not too happy.  Pealing off my workout clothes after a run or class is awesome!  When I was working out at a gym with my trainer, sometimes I would weigh myself before and after a class of TRX or some other equally sweat inducing class to see how much I sweated! 
2.  Eating chocolate before I run...Not too weird I know but not the best fuel either.  I eat a normal breakfast usually but chocolate always seems to sneak into my mouth.  Tricky chocolate!
3.  Sore, shaky muscles....I feel cheated after a workout with weights if I don't feel like jello!  Even better is that sore, I'm going to walk weird for a day, feeling you have the next day!  Definitely not the injured hurting...just the "I worked my hiney off" hurting!
4.  Pretending I'm way more badass than I really am....This happens to me on a run or in a spin class.  I feel like it helps me to do better....I crank up my music, get my swagger on, and go.  Let's review though...gangster I am not but whatever gets me through a workout!!

5.  Get excited for days when I can workout all day long....Ok maybe this is more a dream than weird!  I do get excited for days when I can get in a morning and afternoon workout...like an all day sweatfest! 

 Ok so I'll leave you with one shameless plug....If you're running in this weekend's Falmouth Road Race, stop by the expo today after 5.  I'll be there at the ZOOMA tent with Brooke and Brae...they will be there all weekend so stop by and say hi!

    I love to sweat my face off to, but same as you only when Im working out. I love to be sore like real sore cant lift my arms sore but only for a day or two. If its longer than that I tend to panic. lol I popped by from Jills fitness Friday. Have a good weekend.

    I also do get my swagger on and build up my "I can do it" attitude while working out or before I work out, hehe. Usually listening to hip hop helps. And I agree with the sore muscles, love that feeling, it's like saying Hello body!! xo

    I do the swagger thing too. I found myself doing it in my spin class last weekend. It kept me going pretty hard for the whole class.

    Sweat is liquid awesome. Love that.

    I agree with all of these, except the chocolate thing. I get migraines for chocolate so no way I am touching that before a run!

    I'm a mud run fanatic and they make me feel more bad ass than I really am in real life. Plus in my real life I don't even like to get dirty. Weird, I know.

    How does that chocolate find it's way in? I have the same problem! I'm right there with you- love to sweat, love to feel sore, love days where I can be active all day long!

    When I used to work out at 24 hour fitness, I HATED the grunters. Now I CrossFit and I'm focusing on my olympic lifts and I grunt/yell a little when I lift heavy weights. And I love it :)

    Eating chocolate before a run...now that I could totally do. ;)

    As for the sweat...I LOVE the sweat that drips from my face post workout. I love it everywhere post workout...and I'm not sure how in the world it ever got its bad rep. ;) (Well, except for when it's uninvited. lol)
