Glistening Me!

If you have ever trained with me, then you know I sweat more than most. True, I am “from the tropics” and I live in hot and humid Miami but seriously … it’s kind of a joke amongst my friends.  I try to make light of it and say “oh well, they say its good for my skin perhaps that is why I look so young,’ but in truth, I am just plain embarrassed.

Except for now … because now I get to Sweat Pink! I know, I know … I only use pink if accompanied by black.  I am not a pink freak, nor a girly girl, but I am totally digging this whole sweat pink gig.  I am officially a Sweat Pink Ambassador.

Basically, it is a group of women fitness bloggers and tweeps (peeps on twitter) who get together to share stories, help each other out and then, in turn, help motivate other women in our own communities to sweat pink.  It doesn’t have to be running, triathlons or boot camps like what I do.  It’s basically to go out there and not be afraid to sweat.  On the contrary, it’s for people like me to wear a soaked through shirt with pride knowing that I am making a healthy decision for both me and my family.

And, to boot, I get swag in the mail!  So when the time comes, I will get some pink shoelaces to raffle out and to get to some of you Miami friends so that you can sweat pink with me too!

Thank you Jamie and Alyse from Fit Approach (www.fitapproach.com @fitapproach) for bringing me into this whole movement.  I sweat pink this morning on my bike “Slider”, and am sweating pink this afternoon at bootcamp … are you sweating pink today?
