Robing I am going to roll the thread over. We are getting close to the end and I am not sure if you are on-line right now. If you are let me know. We have 5 more posts left in this thread so follow to the next chapter. Great reference to the book The Good, Bad, Horrible, No Good Rotten Day-- It summed my week up perfectly.

I should get the test results on Monday and I can't wait. I am trying to be patient but oh my patience is being tested especially with PMS playing into this as well since I am overly sensitive right now. My body is in a heighten state of activity so I am feeling every little thing and thinking the worst. It needs to stop…

I think the test went well this morning the tech did NOT see any major problems but I still need to wait for the results. I guess I am still grounded from strenuous activity. :explode: Thanks for all your support about the test. It is greatly appreciated. Regarding friend requests- I am more active on this thread than I am…

Truth- I am scared to death that I will told that I can't exercise at the level I have doing for my workout at for the past year and that I may have to give up my favorite activities. As much as I don't like running, the thought of now having to stop building speed is making me sad. My doctor discovered a heart murmur…

Just sharing a success today, that I have lost one pound. It was nice to see a lower number on the scale.

Just popping in very quickly tonight. I am getting ready to go swimming and I am looking forward to getting back in the pool. I had a nice hike through some trails in my neighborhood today. I went with a friend and made her work hard. My tough workout will come tonight in the pool. The hike was hilly but I was not truly…

I had a nice bike ride this morning for about 1 hour and went almost 9 miles through Kinder Park. It was a challenging ride with the same hills that I ran yesterday. Then I went and brought new running shoes, this time I went with a slightly lower weight shoe. Sunday share- I am Laurie, 44 years old and have on this…

Susan-Welcome back. We will have fun in New York. Remember you can call if you need to vent or just girl talk. My students also start back on August 25th. I can't believe how fast the summer is going. Find time to get back to the pool, I love it and not only do I get the exercise but I can also relax. Nettie we will be in…

Well I am very excited with all the numbers that have been updated for the July Challenge. We have 12 people who have exceeded their goal for the month of July. I have a feeling that number will increase in the next day or two as the final numbers come in for July. As of today, we have completed 1443.7 miles and 199.07…

Truth- I get nervous when I think about participating in a race and it gets worse when I study the course maps. I like knowing what to expect so I am prepared but at the same time I would prefer not to know. This is a double edge sword for me and gives me an easy way to avoid races. My goal is to participate in a couple of…

Karen- You will make your goal you just need .5 mile to finish it. A walk with Gunner will cover it. I hope the interviews go well and you find a great teacher. I am running a 5K on Saturday provided the storms that are expected are not overwhelming. Hope you are working on running up hills, we will need it based on the…

Kah (kelley) Glad you were able to ward off the headache before it turned into a migraine. I did need that rest day yesterday and told my…

Nettie- I hope you can catch up with us in NY. Would love to meet you in person. Grammywhammy- It is great to have you back. You have set some great goals for August. Skinny (Karen)- It is great that so packet pick up and the water taxi are within walking distance of the hotel. We should start looking at plays. Do you want…

Skinny- I am training for the run but I need to develop a better plan. i usually do 2-3 runs a week a couple of short ones 1-2 miles then a long run. I need to increase the distance. I have been walking more so that should help as well. I think the water stop at the 1.5 mile mark is normal for a 5K. I will be upping the…

Just popping in very quickly. I am going out for girls night out after a family dinner. Today, I walked twice once around a park this morning and then at the gym this afternoon. I also ran 1 mile. Karen- I am also hoping to do well with the run in NY. I need to find a practice run so I am not totally winded at the NY…

Danielle can you walk in between your classes or get there early and walk before them. Is there a gym on campus could you work out there? Walking is a great exercise. Karen- you only have 23 miles to go to reach your goal. Very doable and I know you can reach that goal. Kaye your walks are very inspirational. I also enjoy…

Skinny and Kah- Jacob's ladder has the potential to be very evil, but I actually liked it once I decided to let go of the handles. I really don't like ladders so I had to get comfortable on the steps then move one hand at a time while using the railing for support. There is also a climbing machine that was pure evil-hence…

No major truths to report today except that I have been eating cookies every day this week. That is the problem with attending a class where they provide lunch. The cookies have been really good and the lunch was so-so. Tonight I worked at with my trainer at her gym so that was a different experience. I learned that I…

Mindy- welcome to the thread. You will find plenty of support here so come back and post often. The best way to get started is to pick one thing to change and do that. For example walk 15 minutes straight each day for 1 week, then up it the next week to 20 minutes. You can do more if you are already exercising. You could…

Bump- Need to get moving so I can go to the pool. Okay- I got off the sofa to hit the pool, only to realize that I am tired tonight and need to rest. I did not sleep well last night and if I was to go swimming now at 8pm, I won't sleep tonight and then be able to get up at 6. So it will become a rest day and I have earned…
