nuisance abatement (day job), social activities director with three clients (night job) :-)

For long runs (anythin over 10 miles) I love my camelbak and usually add nuun...it's nice to be able to avoid the congested water stations, drink whenever I want/need it. Since I am a slower runner, the water stations towards the end of longer races sometimes run out of stuff.

As a 6' tall woman, I would say most men seem to prefer women to be at least a little shorter than them. My hubby always points out that he has a 1/2" in height on me...Of course when I wear heels, it's a whole different story

Great job!!!

Former college rower...the rowing machine (or torture device) is an awesome way to get fit BUT you have to use proper technique or you will totally screw up your back. It is great for intervals as well as steady state pieces assuming you build up your endurance on it first. I bought a Concept 2 back when I was in law…

Good luck and even more importantly...HAVE FUN!!!

Definitely oatmeal + peanut butter + almond milk....YUM!

yeah, sad to have to admit but it would be the toilet.... :blushing:

Didn't make it out today but my running usually starts around 4:30-5:00 (depends on distance that day and also what route I take)so I can be back in time to hit the showers and commute into work... I prefer early a.m. running. It just FEELS better and makes the rest of the day so much nicer :smile:

I'm 6'0" and goal is between 155-160 because I have a small frame despite my height. I am currently between 165-168 but definitely need to tone up...

bump :wink:

2:16:09 for me...hoping to improve that in October with a couple of races :-)

Ack...totally dating myself here but "In your eyes" by Peter Gabriel.

EXACTLY! More cowbell would be the bomb! Schweddy balls and salty nuts ROCK!

If deodorant is a luxury, then why the heck do they belong to a gym?!

Definitely the long run in the first scenario. If it was a race week...hmm, would depend on the race.

Exactly!

08/31 I am at 10 water... Tomorrow is a quad day, right? Gonna have to figure it out...I have a PT appt in a.m.

Can you repack it and "return to sender" ...what a freaking a'hole...

If I could put it in an IV drip I would.... Black or with a couple splenda depending on my mood...Hot usually unless it's a typical Sacramento summer in which case it's iced. And BTW, I consider decaf to be a crime against humanity....

2 kids and much running later...yeah, mine are on the lam as well...

Yeah, had that conversation with my 10 year old and I think I cried more than she did over the idea that she wasn't a little girl anymore...I'm a sap, I know. I took the approach of explaining that there really was a Santa (St. Nicholas) a long time ago and that the "idea" of Santa is still very real (people being generous…

Mine was just now when I read this as I was drinking water and it came shooting out my nose!!!

My hobbies would include: -rampant sarcasm -hanging with my kids (need to ensure the next generation of sarcasm continues) -running -spending time with the hubby -reading -arguing with people (seriously...this is my job, too) :-)

Because I am addicted to the endorphins Because work generally sucks and it helps me deal with it better Because of the calorie burns Because I'm a Type A/overachiever personality and I like to be able to say I did it Because I have a couple half marathons and another marathon I'm getting ready for Because it's MY time to…

bumpity bump bump...

Have a great weekend all and don't forget DOUBLEs tomorrow...I will make a concerted effort to get to bed early so I can get a strong run in tomorrow!!!!

Something is usually better than nothing and more is usually better than less...no matter what machine you're talking about. Still think the best burn for your money (just the cost of decent shoes) is running outside :smile:
