I have been married for 20 years and I would like for you to talk to your spouse about this issue. I did not catch how long you guys have been married but you got married to each other for some very specific reasons. If you are no longer getting what you need from the relationship it is time to redefine the relationship or…

I love running between 30*F to 60*F on a clear sunny day. Anything higher or lower and I don't love it but I run anyway.:happy:

Read this one just before bed as a young single woman living near Chapel Hill. Freaked me out so much that I slept with a chair against my bedroom door.:laugh:

Lone Survivor is a good read!

Thanks for posting these. I am always looking for something else to read. I am currently reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. It is a non-fiction work about a 12 year old boy living in a utopian society in the future. I find the story very entertaining and it is a very short book at around 200 pages.

If it is my day to run, I run in the rain. During the spring and summer months, I enjoy it. A few years ago, I ran a half marathon in a cold 37 degree rain wearing a trash bag with a cut out for my head. The only issue that I have had is with my shoes drying out afterwards. So I place them on the floor vent in the laundry…

In really big races, where you are elbow to elbow in the beginning, don't be afraid to rough up your fellow runners with some elbows and trips to create some space around yourself.

For Thanksgiving day only, I plan to eat and drink as if I were being paid to do so.:drinker:

I have been running for a while now, six years. My relationship with running seems to be based on how well I am running. When I am super used to running, I find running easy and I really enjoy it. If I ever lose my running fitness, I find running difficult and I do hate it. If you enjoy walking, I say stick to walking. I…

I am sorry. I have nothing to share. I was told the same thing 18 years ago before I had surgery for some chronic sinus issues. I decided to not have the tonsil surgery. My health has dramatically improved since the sinus surgery. PM me if you want to discuss my situation more. Did you get a second opinion?

LOVE this. Adding it to my list!

I find it so sweet that you are doing this as a couple. Hang in there and remain positive about your own success. True story: When I got married almost 20 years ago, one piece of advice that my grandmother gave me was to avoid gaining weight with my husband. According to my grandmother, if we both gained weight, it would…

First, I developed self esteem - being in any relationship without it is not a good idea. Then, I decided that I could only control my own choices in the relationship. I am going to trust the other person and I cannot control what the other person decides to do with my trust.

None. If you are moving, you are improving!

100% agree. These are also the precautions that I take. I leave the runningmap.com website open on my pc with my route information.

Yes. I met President Bill Clinton (not the Pres when we met) and Al Gore at an event when I was in college. I could not get over how much Gore looked like Superman in person.:laugh:

I too know my fit so I buy from amazon.com

"Bless your heart" is not an insult. It is meant to follow an insult. I am a lifelong southerner with southern grandmothers. When I was younger, I observed that if there was something unpleasant to be said about someone then bless their heart must follow the insult. For example, your mother

Me too.:drinker: Try swapping the after work wine with hot tea. I like a hot green tea to celebrate the end of the day. Also, I drink other beverages from wine glasses. For example, at dinner I have water from a wine glass. At breakfast, I drink orange juice from a wine glass. When I drink, I alternate between the wine…

When I read this, I had to check your age. I had something let's just say very exciting happen to me during a run and I seriously thought it was just me. No one else that I know well enough to ask has had such an event.:laugh:

You are ready!:drinker: Logging works - even the bad days or meals! If you need friends for support, feel free to add me.

I touched a bottle of another person's urine.:noway: We were lined up to start a huge race when the person beside me said "pass this down to the curb". I took it and started passing it before I fully understood what was in the bottle.

I LOVE Gemma! I think that she is a complicated woman who is often misunderstood.:laugh:
