  • So let's roll the dice one more time Take a chance on love again tonight Risk it all, lay it on the line Let the skeletons fight for life Tonight, hold on tight, as we collide
  • I'm sitting here waiting for delivery..... I plan on starting tomorrow. I don't know how it will compare to P90x, so I may have to modify it a bit to fit my running training and races.
  • You have to do what you want to and with your body. I have started on my leg and I'm wondering what the same thing as a sleeve would be called on your leg. I didn't even get my first one till I was 42 and I'm working on my 3rd. Think about what you put on your body forever. Remember that you will look at it for the rest of…
  • It this order: Losing my BFF to breast cancer when she was 39 Facing my own mortality and changing my life outlook. My husband finding his BFF dead in our basement from a massive heart attack at the age of 42 My dad dying from Pancreatic Cancer I now realize that life is short and that you should not wait for the "bucket…
  • I'll be 45 on the 17th. 40 ROCKS!!! It really does. At 40, I realized so much about myself and where I wanted to be and who I wanted to be and what I wanted to do. I realized that I can and will live my life the way I want and I don't need anyone to tell me that it's OK. I don't need anyone to validate me. It's very…
  • Little black dress. I know, not one word.
  • I'm think no. But where is bannword?
  • I'm doing P90X and running. I'm training for Marine Corps marathon in Oct. and Goofy in Jan. I don't do P90X every day. I mix it up. It really really really helps with my running time. If I slack off on P90, my running time is worse.
  • Check out Jeff Galloway, his method works well. I've done a number of 1/2s one full and training for another full in Jan using his method. This is from someone who wouldn't run unless being chased by a crazy man with a knife. It works and works well.
  • Shred is hard. It doesn't matter how in shape you are, it will kick your *kitten*. BUT it is so worth it. Do what you can do. It is far better to do it right 1 time than wrong 10.
  • Yes, it's true. Your body as far as healthy eating and changing is made in the kitchen. The muscles are made in the gym. I didn't start running till after I lost weight. I did it to run a 5K, then I got hooked.
  • I used to be like that. Thought I'd never be able to run outside. Then I started running outside. I was scared the first time. Now, 4+ years later, I HATE the treadmill. It's a big first step, but once you get out there with nature, you'll wonder why you never did it before.
  • I have a headband that says: I run so I can drink A shirt that says: Will run for wine. I used to have the My sport is your sport's punishment as a sig tag, but I kept having to explain it to people. This IS my pace. Round is a shape
  • Also find a really good sports massage place. I would not make it through my training without mine and I'm a runner. But I'm training for Goofy, a little different. I'd say a good 9 months if you have some running under your belt. Your goal is to remain injury free and finish? Then take the training slow and easy as well…
  • Depends on what you need. High impact? Size, etc. I use Fiona Moving Comfort, 36C. They are great for high impact. I went to a sports bra fitting and found out some really interesting things about breasts as well as the sports bras we should be using. If you can find a running store that has one of these opportunities, I…
  • Do you have on demand? There are a bunch of work out videos there that you can do. Run, granted you need running shoes, but other than that, it's pretty cheap. Until you get hooked, then it gets expensive and you fall in love with it. Go on line and see if you can find some fitness videos on websites that don't require…
  • Maybe you should also consider how your clothes fit. I found that when I'm heavy into the weight training and core training, my weight will not change, but my clothes are looser. Sometimes it isn't all about the number on the scale. Sometimes it is about how you feel. Just remember, a 1lb of muscle weighs as much as a 1lb…
  • I've been running for a while. I stopped using my HRM because it seemed to always be the same, no matter how fast I ran, I burned 100 calories per mile. Maybe I should do a sanity check soon and see if it is still the same.
  • I have found that I need protein before a long run. I will have a steak dinner the night before a marathon. Carb loading does nothing for me. Before any run of more than 5 miles, I have 1.5 TBS of peanut butter and some greek yogurt. The yogurt is higher in protein that I ever expected. Protein also helps you feel full…
  • I'm a runner. Just ran Army 10. Training for the Goofy Challenge in Jan at Disney. Ran the Disney full this past Jan. I didn't start running till I was 40. I love it.
