This thread makes me SO happy! Thank you! :)

I celebrated my first birthday in a full body cast... from armpit to toes. My poor mother.

These are SUPER yummy made with MINT oreos... What heaven must taste like! :)

^This is super yummy! Right now I'm drinking hot chocolate... Need a comfort drink for my scratchy throat.

In high school when I was 16... My 15 year old best friend needed a second couple, so she could go on a double date with her boyfriend. I agreed to go out with his best friend on the double date. They broke up a month later, we've been together for 20 years, married for 14...

I grew up in Boring, and my father-in-law can tell you exactly where you can find ANYTHING in Home Depot (and, no, he doesn't work there).

I have 2.... 1. No offense, but *insert offensive statement here* 2. hunnerds. My assistant says this all the time when she working with the kids on math (3 tens and 5 hunnerds). Drives me batty!

Not sure that's a good selling point, but very funny! :laugh:

AAACKKK! Trigonometry flashback! Make it stop!!! :sick:

I know... I noticed that too. Oops! I may have settled into a rut when it comes to my "teacher clothes". As a special ed teacher, comfy and simple is important! :smile:

Thanks, everyone! The tan's from dragging my tail end out to the nearby running trail 3-4 days/week most of the summer. :wink:

Okay, seriously, how do I make the picture smaller??? I am such a DORK! Edit: Never mind... Figured it out! :) (Still a dork, though.)

1. It's a totally selfish hour all about me. The rest of my day is pretty much dedicated to looking after others, this is ME time! 2. I never thought I could run for 10 minutes straight, let alone an hour. 3. There's something addicting about 5k and 10k races, even when I finish at the bottom of the pack. 4. Every day is a…

Usually takes 4-5 days for the soreness to fade away. Keep at it! (As long as it's the good kind of sore... not the pulled muscle kind of sore.)

Hike the Oregon section of the Pacific Crest Trail! I haven't been able to talk any of my peeps into taking on this venture with me so far...

Bump! Too funny :)

Thanks, that was great! :)

Bump. Good advice. :)

Bump :)

Any other 10Kers out there? :)

I haven't done a specific program since finishing the C25K in July. Instead I have just been trying to increase my distance by 1/2mi to a mile every couple of weeks. I ran 6 miles for the first time on Monday, but I am super slow (although I did manage to run the whole way after a 5 minute walking warm up). In the next…

Very cute! Glad it went well! :)

It's so nerve wracking, I know! Try to get a good night's sleep and all will be well. You're son will be proud no matter what! PS- The mantras I most often repeat to myself at the moment are: "The faster you run, the faster you're done" and "Move your @ss!" That last one is in the voice of Jillian Michaels. :smile:

Ahh, home sweet home! I grew up in Boring. People were always making fun of the name... :smile:

For me, I would put it under the previous day since I haven't gone to bed yet. I consider a day from one "sleep" to the next. But I don't think it really matters as long as it gets logged somewhere.

^^This! 4 months ago I would say the same thing. A workout DVD was fine but running? No way I could make it past a minute without thinking I was going to die. Couch to 5 K changed all that starting in April! It starts out slow and increases amount of time jogging slowly. Now I've run two 5Ks and planning on doing my first…

Oh man, I have to get up in 5 hours to run a 5K! What have you people done to me??? PS. Just FYI: A 5K equals 3.1 miles, except that it's longer... :wink:

My most common snacks are: Laughing Cow/TLC Crackers Protein Bar Low Fat String Cheese Banana Hummus/Carrots For lunch I usually bring leftovers or a Lean Cuisine. I just don't have time to make anything in the morning while also getting two boys ready for school...
