    I'm from Ma too! But i am on the South coast, so are accents aren't that bad, lol

    Question:
    Last night I was out with some friends and they asked me to train/run with them @ a 13k race down in Disney. (my good friend works for Disney)

    First off I havent run more than a mile, I am 238 lbs, I am strong but I don't know if i could really do it, and I know you can walk/run but you have to maintain an 18 minute mile or you get pulled off. Also I have been asked to train w/ two of the people up here in MA, is two to three tines sufficient,? and is 4 months enough time to train for a 13k?...I am scared, but I definitely want to try without looking like an idiot....

    Before I decide if I am gonna put myself through that I would like some input., lol =)

    By the way what run is this? I would love to try. I live about 1 hour 30 minutes from disney.

    Well, I hope you're all satisfied-- ( you, too, Dave-- ) :angry:

    It is now 11:19 and I have exactly one minute and 36 seconds of audio transcribed for the evening. Between all of you lovely people and my family's mega interruptions, I'm behind the eight ball once again. I live there-- truly.

    Only thing saving me is work screwed up and didn't send me all I requested, so I don't have as much to do-- now, enough, people-- let me go and do some work-- sheesh!!!!!!!:noway:

    Dave screwing with you even from his jail cell, huh? :laugh:

    Happy Friday, Black Team! I read back a few posts & now have a horrible craving for a morning burger. Thanks a lot! :tongue:

    Kristina - YAY for the extra inches lost & the great calorie burn yesterday!

    Sam - NO more 180s for you! WOO HOO! Congrats! :flowerforyou:


    Thanks so much for the encouragement!! I know when I see those inches coming off it helps to keep me from getting discouraged. It also can be pretty motivating for me. :drinker:

    I do - just have to find the dumb cord to attach the camera to the computer.. Will be looking this weekend.

    I took before and after picture after a heavy rain so there are some shot where he is really muddy and some where he shines like a new penny..

    Stay tuned..

    Good morning everyone! Tonight I have to go to a friend's bbq and am really nervous about it. I think I might eat before going. Is that normal?

    That's a plan as long as you can faithfully abstain from food once there--

    But it can also be a recipe to have two dinners-- proceed with caution.

    Personally, I'd say go to the barbeque and make wise choices-- real food for real life-- you're never going to NOT have barbeque food, so start tonight by eating sensibly. You can do it!

    Marla you're so smart! :wink: :flowerforyou:

    Oh my-- not really-- just been there, done that--

    Like Erma Bombeck, the late humorist, I probably have lost 1.020 pounds in my life-- the same 20 pounds 51 times--

    I've tried every "diet" out there, every quick fix, every knucklehead idea-- no offense intended-- about eating first so I don't eat there. Psh-- :noway:

    I come from a family where-- this is a true story-- my 400 pound brother makes sure he eats a huge breakfast on Thanksgiving morning so he'll be able to eat more when dinner is served. "If I go into dinner hungry, I fill up too fast."

    So-- not smart, just seasoned-- (read old :wink: )
