@SlHysell
Haha - this reminds me of a sign I saw once in the front of a house. It said "Pit bulls for Sale. Babysitting/Day care." Nothing against Pit Bulls! I love all dogs. Just saying... I don't think many people would trust dropping off their baby/toddler at house with pit bulls running around, especially if the owner is trying to get rid of the dogs. Obviously if they are trained properly they are great dogs.
@ayalowich
Wow! 7:30 is great! I'm happy with 9:30 for now. Go Gators!
@skippygirlsmom
Good thoughts for you at your appointment.0 -
@ddmom0811 - "I am in such a great mood on the days I run. Wish I'd known about this 20 years ago. "
^^^ This is what I tell people when they ask why I run!
Also do you ice your calf? I make ice cups in small kid size paper cups that I can rub on the sore area. I have used them after running when I have had injuries to my shin, calf and feet and they work great to reduce the inflammation and stiffness.0 -

Lesleycali.... Great job 10k under one hour , something I aspire to do.
skippygirlsmom..... Great they are looking at your back problem so quickly, hope they can solve the problem soon.

I'd really love to set up a ticker too but just don't know how to transfer it from the ticker web site to my posts. Any help would be much appreciated.0 -
Yay - my legs still work, and I'm done with my goal for the month.
Knees were buckling when taking short walks on Monday/Tuesday so I'm glad I was able to get through my 3 miles today now that I've been cleared to resume my running.
Guests are coming in tonight for the weekend, and I'm heading off to go skiing/film watching Tuesday (Sundance Film Festival), so only one more longer run on Sunday (8 miles), lots of cross training, and I'll resume my marathon training (May) once I get back to town in February.

I'd really love to set up a ticker too but just don't know how to transfer it from the ticker web site to my posts. Any help would be much appreciated.
on the tickerfactory webpage:
- you first pick a background image (e.g. I took the waves this month)& click on "next";
- then you select a picture for the slider (e.g. a fish) & click on "next"
- then you get to a settings page, where you chose a password (you'll need this for updating your miles), what you are tracking and what your goal is. After filling out these forms, click "next" again
- Then you get to a page which sais "Done", shows your ticker, and gives some code snippets. You are interested in the "bbCode" field. The bit between the "img-tags" is what you want to copy in here when you post something. This will look like:[img]http://tickers.TickerFactory.com/ezt/t/wCGWc43/exercise.png[/img]
Another bit of information from the bbCode field you will want to store for yourself is the link to the ticker you just created - that's the bit in the url tag, e.g.[url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/exercise/wCGWc43/]
If you go to that address in your browser and enter your password, you can change the ticker, for example to add a few miles.
