My favorite tips are #s 14, 15, 20. I want to work on #7 more.  Which tips are the ones you like the most?  Which one do you want to tackle?

1. Triathletes in training:  The ChiTriBlogger is hosting a giveaway of bike trainer software.  If you have a bike trainer, this will help you to leverage & complete intervals indoors.  Check it out – giveaway ends May 31! 

Other goodies & giveaways:

• Marcia’s Healthy Slice is hosting a giveaway for the Virtual Run for Boston 5k.  If you sign up, donate, & run a virtual 3.1 miles, there are some cool prizes you can win! 
• Kelly the Culinarian is hosting a giveaway of a Bestowed box – this is a fun care package of healthy foods.

2. I want to listen to a good beach read via Books on Tape.  Any good suggestions that I should check out on ITunes?

3. I am so coveting this right now.  I want the medal. I want the aches & soreness.  I want to hear my name, and I want a tattoo like this on my ankle or hip.
