Week in Review

I did not do a very good job at getting my runs in this week.  Monday and Tuesday were really busy at work.  Wednesday I headed to Indiana for a trip with my dad.  On Thursday I ran 4K in 40mins on the treadmill at the Best Western in Lapeer Michigan.  It was a slow run, as my legs were not happy to have been off them for 3 days. 
On Saturday I ran 5.29K in 42mins.  On Sunday I ran 13.79K in 1hour and 53mins with the running group.  It is officially one week until our goal race of the Springbank 1/2 Marathon.

Week in Review Aug 19th - 26th

Work was super busy this week, so I did not get out for a run until Thursday night.  On Thursday I ran 8K in 1hour and 6mins with the running group.  On Saturday I ran 5.35K in 41mins.
Sunday was the Port Stanley Run!  I ran 21.52K in 2hours and 47mins with the running group.  I am pretty happy with this time as it was really hot!

Steven surprised me with being parked at the 8K mark.  This was good as I needed some more body glide!

On Saturday July 28th I ran 5.37K in 40mins along the Ottawa River.   On Sunday July 29th I ran 6.02K in 49mins.  This run took me along the Ottawa River and over to Quebec.  Here are some pictures from this run!

These are the only two runs I got in this week as I was sick with a head cold and travelled to Ottawa for my friend's wedding.  Due to me being soo sick I was not up to documenting our trip as well as I would have liked.

Crest Pro-Health Product Review

Crest Pro-Health Product Review
Crest Pro-Health
Week 1 Review
I have been using the Crest Pro-Health PROFRESH Toothpaste, Oral-B CrossAction Pro-Health Toothbrush and Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse for around 1 week now.  I have to say that overall I am enjoying using the Crest Pro-Health products sent to me for the BzzCampaign.  Even thought I do not typically like strong flavoured toothpaste, I do enjoy the freshness of the PROFRESH formula.  I usually use the Crest Pro-Health Gum Protection variety of toothpaste.  I am also enjoying using the Pro-Health Rinse and find it not too strong.  I do find that the Oral-B toothbrush is too large for my mouth and am unsure how I feel about the "non-bristle" pieces on the brush.
Disclosure:  As a BzzAgent, I received a free product sample of  Crest Pro-Health PROFRESH Toothpaste, Oral-B CrossAction Pro-Health Toothbrush and Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Rinse in exchange for my review of the products and my opinion.
