No HYE Touched a wild Sea Turtle?

Those are all awesome! Just a little bump. I'd love to hear more.

Never a gallon, or a half either, but I think a pint. HYE Punched a hole in the wall?

I used to use tanning beds and I have several remaining scars from having skin cancer removed. Now I wear sunscreen everytime I run outside, and of course I quit tanning. I read a great idea the other day though. It's a good idea to use your cell phone to take pics of your moles once a month. Then you don't have to wonder…

Yes. Got stuck upside down on the Comma Cozzie and my seat belt bar came off. Terrifying. I was literally holding myself in the ride. Stupid crappy fair rides. HYE: Cleaned out the fridge and realized that something was SO GROSS that you weren't willing to clean it out to get your Tupperware back so you threw the whole…

I always struggle with giving out compliments to anyone other than family. As a married guy, I certainly don't want my compliments to other women to be interpreted as something more than they are. The flip side to that is something I've seen referenced here and in the other thread. Sometimes complimenting weight loss can…

I'm sorry to hear that. I know it's not the same online, but I think you look great. More than anything your body is complimenting you. Every time you pick up a heavy package of bottled water or a child your body protests less. Your heart is stronger and can crush workouts that were only a dream before. On a side note,…

NO! I mean all compliments! I want to hear the ones that make you feel smart, healthy, fast, strong, progressive... any and all. WE ARE ALL MORE THAN OUR BODIES! WE ARE VALUABLE! We have talents and abilities that don't hinge on our body fat percentage, muscle tone or weight. So when people notice and compliment our…

WoW! Everyone those are such wonderful experiences. I honestly don't think that most people realize the effect they have on another person when they offer such simple but sincere praise. It's fantastic to read all these comments and know that you are all thinking of positive things. I'd love to hear more! Keep 'em coming!

Respect for making a lasting change from friends and family is awesome! And the negative has a way of driving us that is all it's own. As for compliments from strangers, well they can be hard to come by sometimes. I'm married as well, and although sometimes a compliment comes with attached ideas, sometimes it is just said…

No but I have tentative plans to visit this year. HYE: run a marathon or half marathon?

My current fastest was 9:03 just a few days back, and I'd like to be in the 8:00 - 8:30 in the next few months.

yes HYE read the same book 3+ times?

YES! I did that one! (the situation inside the car was worse than the dirt road scabs. HYE had surgery?

No HYE: forgotten someones name immediately after they said it and had to ask again?

No question left for me, so: HYE ridden an elephant?

I've tried a few times. Usually get caught if it's someone I know, or it's a situation where the person in line at the restaurant forgot a wallet, so I just covered it. U?

crazy... groovy's question made us ask the same question.

no. I'd complain if it was too bad to eat so they could make it right. Or if I was broke and didn't know it till my card was declined, I'd wash dishes. HYE: left a restaurant after paying for someone else's meal and your own?

It's on the bucket list, but not yet. HYE: played in a band?

An undeniably large portion. An entire season - definitely. I got really hooked on Lost, and I must admit - in this house we are simpsons nerds. HYE: dissected a flower just to learn about it?

SOOO grateful! Big thank you to all the hunters / fisherman / ranchers / farmers / truck drivers / warehouse workers/ cooks / waiters and EVERYONE In between. The team effort to keep me happy has really paid off. I am truly hopeful that someday every person will eat to satisfaction every day. Sometimes it's the little jobs…

repeatedly. My car was 21 years old when I got it and constantly died in intersections. My car now is 50 years old and has only failed me a couple times. HYE: intentionally killed an animal for whatever reason? (must be larger than a mouse. cause everyone's had to catch a mouse.) BTW - I have not.

At every opportunity. (PS... the homeless love new socks. Also where I get my stranger hugs.) HYE: built, created or made something that was useful for you or someone else that you are proud of?

Maybe once or twice while I was in highschool. Never more than a quarter or 2 though... just REALLY needed a pepsi. (I'm over the addiction now.) HYE: hugged a stranger?

Thank you all so much for your kind words and helpful advice! I know that i'll have to walk some of this, but it's good to hear that I am on track to finish. Really my fitness goal is to complete: no puking, passing out or dying. And I don't know that I am committed enough to running to go for a second. Guess it's more of…

Not exactly, but after being fired from a job I started my own business. It is small but fairly successful, and I guess you could call it my dream. HYE: seen the same episode of the same show 50+ times? (big simpsons fan here.)

PS> my running is a mix of indoor treadmill and outdoor.

I'm not sure what that is... sorry. I've had my pic taken, drawn, made fun of, destroyed, mangled but not kicked... I don't think. HYE: experienced the pure darkness of the inside of a mountain with nothing to get you out except your flashlight? PS I love the climbed a mtn over 5000 ft... I live at 6000+ A mtn isn't a mtn…

A couple things that are crucial: 1) Drink Plenty of water after... this will help the body not build up the lactic acid. 2) Protein and Potassium after... these will help the body to repair. 3) Use pain relievers sparingly (only when you can't walk / pick up your bottle of water etc)... your body needs to heal in it's own…
