Recently I asked you guys to
tell me all the things you dislike about exercising so that we can find ways to turn that hate into love. One thing that came up a lot is, "I don't like the muscle soreness that I get two days after working out."
Agreed — feeling sore can be a big downer and make daily practices, such as sitting on the toilet, a painful experience.

This year's Chicago Marathon turned out to be a complete disaster due to the extreme heat because while most marathoners plan for the distance, they don't always plan for mother nature to decide your marathon day is a good day for it to be unseasonably warm. In light of this,
The New York Times has a list of things to think about before heading out to your marathon, no matter where it is. There are some things that even I may not have considered, and I am a pretty thorough chick.

I don't know about you, but when the warm weather sinks in, I'm suddenly in the mood for margaritas! There's an amazing Mexican restaurant near me that has the highest quality frozen margaritas and margaritas on the rocks. So I want to know...

I was listening to my favorite fitness pod cast
Dr. Monte's Fitness Rocks when a guest speaker/personal trainer,
Charles Staley, said that most folks quit their exercise regimen, especially when they are new to working out, because they don't like being sore. They just didn't like the post workout soreness that can come on as late as 48 hours after the workout.

Today kicks off engagement week across the Sugar sites and in its honor, today's play list is themed. Even if you don't have a diamond, you're sure to be sparkling after working out to this play list. Want to hear it?
