    Wow, tojo, that photo is SPECTACULAR!

    It is the best part of biking is being able to get out and see the city. That was Spanish banks about 20k out from my place.

    The worst part? huge unexpected downpour on yesterdays bike.....then sun again..then hail. Wtf? Only 35k ride. 1hr 30min on the bike and 25min and cleanup and maintenance due to the weather and grit pickup.

    @Gam3rguy goodluck with the race.

    In the city for another 5 days :0 Took advantage of the beautiful inner city trails yesterday for a run. One thing I miss about Calgary. Today was the gym. Had issues figuring out the squat rack, but a very nice girl noticed my confusion and helped me out. I ran for 30 minutes then did legs.
    Happy Father's Day boys!!

    Not riding today. Got in about 45 minutes of walking though - still bike related. .. Went to the bike shop to pick up a box to pack my bike for the cycling trip on Sunday. Then did some grocery shopping.

    Did the Stairmaster for a low impact change today. Glutes are now tight as a fiddle string. Also worked on my back.
    My dad is taking me on a day trip to Banff today. Feel like a little kid again!

    Hello! I am 39 but would love to join the group. I am starting over again I need to lose a total of 150lbs. I lost 80# two years ago and have gained 50# back. My issues are a little medical and a lot of letting life get in the way of taking care of myself. I tend to put everyone else before me and I lose myself. I have lost 3#'s in the past week. I need help planning the evening meals that will also keep a husband and football playing teenage son happy. Any suggestions?

    Did I join this yet? I'm 46, I'm a mom of two kids, and I'm trying to lose weight and get healthier. I was having trouble losing any weight at all, but my doctor recommended not worrying so much about fat and increasing my protein by quite a bit, and that's been making a big difference this time around.

    Hi all,
    @gam3rguy - congrats on completing the race! Nice job.
    @alf1163 - nice to see you again.

    Welcome to the new cool kids!

    Beeps - is it almost d-day? I keep thinking of you, and sending positive thoughts your way.

    We had our 16th annual Black Fly Run this past weekend. As race director, it is a very busy two days leading up to the race. We get our swag bags ready, start imputing all the registrations into the timing system. It was stressful as our race shirts and medals did not arrive until Friday at 4:30 p.m.! Packet pick up started 5, so we were racing to get the shirts into the bags.
    Despite all the crazy running around, it turned out very well again. The weather was hot for the runners, but great for the rest of us. We received many great compliments and thank yous. I was exhausted Saturday and literally vegged all day yesterday.

    So, some interesting health news. I went to see a naturopath that requested some thyroid testing done. When I was having my blood work, the phlebotomist was not sure what a couple of tests were, and "looked" them up. She thought they were to test for celiac disease. TShe asked if they were looking into "gut health" and, because I had discussed gut health with the naturopath, I said "yes". Turned out, it was a mistake and had to go back for further testing. BUT, the celiac test came back positive. Now, I have to go for further testing to make sure it is an absolute positive and not a false positive. The doc is pretty sure it is positive as the numbers were just too high. When I look at what some of the symptoms are, I do have a few of them. So, interesting. A test that was done in error actually can be the answer to lots of the issues / concerns I have been experiencing for the past several years. Only if it is in fact celiac disease, what a major life change that will be.

    sdereski, celiac is a change....glad you are researching further.

    My tutor was found during an exam for something else....so, yeah, happy accidents!

    Today is my surgery. I can't sleep due to nerves. :( It will all be over In a few hours and the healing can begin. BOOM!

    @sdereski, things happen for a reason! Sending good vibes for you as well. It's probably a good feeling to at least have a diagnosis and start working on how to deal with it. Take care!

    Have a great day everyone!!!
