This is a really cool idea. It just means taking a little time out of your day to log your activities.
Hey ladies - have you signed up for one of the Freihofer Challenge Teams? Join a team headed by Jenn Gish (Times Union), Kelly Lynch (103.1), or Ann Hughes (Fox23) and get ready for the Freihofer's 5K on June 4, 2011. NO EXPERIENCE needed!

Freihofer's Run for Women introduces the free Training Challenge Program
This spring the Freihofer's Run for Women has introduced a new program. It is the Freihofer's Training Challenge - a couch to 5K program - the goal is the fantastic all woman's 5K race on June 4, 2011 at 10am.
For 10 weeks starting March 28, join one of these three teams: Kelly Lynch (WGY-810 AM), Ann Hughes (FOX23), or Jennifer Gish (Times Union).
As a team member, you’ll join your media personality and her team in a fun training program (complete with certified coach/trainer - that would be Patrick and I!) based around the Couch to 5k Training Program. Through that popular fitness program, you’ll be trained to first walk, then jog and finally run the event’s 3.1 miles. Toward that end, you’ll spend one day a week training with your team leader at The Crossings of Colonie (see training times below), another working out at a time that works best for you, and then gather with your fellow participants for a group session led by Kristen Hislop or Patrick Lynskey at 9 a.m. Saturday mornings at The Crossings of Colonie.
Those taking part will get a unique Freihofer’s Run for Women Training Challenge t-shirt, enjoy VIP treatment race day, receive nutritious Freihofer’s products, and help your team hoist the inaugural Freihofer’s Training Challenge trophy!
Sign up for the race and sign up for a team!! Let the fun begin.

Can clothes make you fit?
On March 7, stuck inside with the lovely March weather, I saw the Reebok Easy Tone gear on the Kathie Lee and Hoda Show. It is designed to help tone muscles and improve posture while you wear. Using Reebok’s ResisTone™ bands to create resistance when you move, the pieces combine function with style, and are available in long bra, short-sleeve and sleeveless tops, full pants, capri pants and shorts. ($55-$80) Reebok.com. Do they work or is it great marketing?
What do you think? what products have you used and have they worked?

Skippy Reduced Fat Peanut Butter recall
As a former Skippy Reduced Fat Chunky Peanut Butter addict I must say I am now happy that I have converted to natural peanut butter! There is a salmonella recall up for the products - although no illnesses have been reported. Here is the info from the FDA press release:
Unilever announced limited recall of Skippy® Reduced Fat Creamy Peanut Butter Spread and Skippy® Reduced Fat Super Chunk Peanut Butter Spread, because it may be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). No other Skippy® products are affected by this recall.
The product was distributed to retail outlets in Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The affected product, which is packaged in 16.3 oz plastic jars, is as follows:

Licenses plates for bikes in NY - hogwash
Last week a Queens NY Assemblyman introduced a bill for license plates on bikes! Cyclists in NY took action against this crazy bill. Subsequently the bill was withdrawn - nice work everyone.
