  • The more fit I got, the more active my children became. When I was heavier, my kids kinda puttered around the house. When I started training for half marathons, my older 2 kids would ride their bikes with me as I pushed the stroller. Currently, my kids are 11, 9, and 6. My youngest was scooter'ing 4 miles when she had just…
  • I completely agree. I used a trainer to show my the proper techniques of the 5/3/1 so that when I went in, I wouldn't have to wonder if I was doing it right or wrong because he is trained to know, and he can see me from angles I can't see myself. Most gyms offer a free introductory training session - use it wisely.
  • yes, several. I wake up to my favorite one every morning.
  • ^this^ To run longer, incorporate speed work. To run faster, incorporate longer, slow runs.
  • 2012, no idea. But I do know it wasn't as much as 2013. 2013: 84.95 miles hiking 528.35 miles cycling 730.75 miles running ... 65# x5 overhead pressed 95# x5 bench pressed (thanks to my sneaky trainer) 155# x8 deadlifted 165# x11 squated
  • Half marathon June 2012: 2:28, wanted to die. Half marathon Jan 2013: 2:29, cooked dinner that night, sore, but okay. Half marathon June 2013 (incorporating cycling) 2:18, felt great, went for a 2 mile walk that night. Half marathon Oct 2013 (incorporating cycling and strength) 2:08, felt amazing, even walked an additional…
  • Rock n Roll AZ half in a couple weeks. Surf City half in 5 weeks. Orange County half in May. Fontana half in June. Long Beach half in October Rock n Roll Vegas FULL in Nov.
  • Step 1: wait until a female chicken is ovulating...
  • Get a really large pot (really really large pot...) big enough to easily dunk your dead bird. Fill with water (allowing room to dunk, redunk, and "swish" your bird). Heat to boiling, between 140-150*. Dunk your chicken a couple times, kinda jiggling it so the water gets around the follicles. Test pull a large feather. When…
  • Or chickens are really friendly, we bought them when they were super tiny, maybe 2 wks old. My kids love to carry them around and cuddle them, and the chickens thinks this is completely normal and try to come in to the house all the time lol!
  • Because, you know, people can't be responsible for themselves, what they put in front of their face, or what links they click on... :noway: This has been said to me: "You're s thin and beautiful! Do you eat 1200 calories a day? I wish I could look like you!" My response? "I'm not thin, I'm a strong and solid size 6. If I…
  • This. And make sure you run with her. You didn't say if you do or not, but it's always fun to see what they'll talk about when the endorphins kick in.
  • The words on his tattoo on his forearm, that's what I want on my left leg, similar style.
  • 1. I was 9 y/o. 2. No, I don't think I was mentally or emotionally ready for it. ... Knowing what I know now, my mom got her TOM at age 10, and she was giving me my first bra for Christmas, and I was that chubby kid. She probably thought she was saving me from a shock. 3. My mom told me how periods happen while we were…
  • I can't help but think that this female called me an ugly, out of shape, and ho. :noway:
  • Thanks for the reminder that if my ex really does leave my kids and me stranded financially... there are still men out there who think mothers are sexy and are willing to pay my way through college. ETA: I'm pretty sure I can make a few "hundies" based upon the fact that the last time I went to a strip club, I had a better…
  • "Scissor me timbers, Baby!" :bigsmile: :laugh:
  • It's a group, I can't post in there.
  • an actual board for it, or a group? I would be interested in posting this topic where people aren't like, ZOMG I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD EVEN CONSIDER SOMETHING THAT'S NOT IN COMPLETE AGREEMENT WITH WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE RIGHT/CORRECT/GOOD!!!
  • I certainly didn't mean to offend. I was referring to extreme situations - where the parents hate each other and can't hide it. Or there's abuse. Or the environment isn't healthy for the children (as determined by a professional), etc.
  • "you should work on your reading skills as well as general life skills" That is assuming a lot about me, and was rather rude to state. I was simply telling you what I got out of your little analogy, which wasn't very good. "Pre-Nup/"Contract Marriage" are not synonyms" However, a pre-nup can consist of a "if you, then I"…
  • I do not have a problem with green card marriages so long as they actually act married and care for each other, and aren't random to each other - I agree with them more than getting married "just because we're pregnant". Or worse, staying together "for the children". THAT should carry a fine and a jail sentence.
  • This is what I read: Do you understand the difference between getting married because you loved them, then changing your mind and divorcing them; and getting married in a well-planned way without the option to divorce? (this doesn't make sense because you can't return something stolen, but you can still divorce or get an…
  • Would it be considered fraud if the marriage was consumated? Or if they lived together for a period of time, then chose to live in different cities because of the job market? All of this is hypothetical, I'm simply curious on what people think. What is the difference between a "contract marriage" and a "solid pre-nup".
  • I'm failing to see how this is much different than people who marry because they got pregnant. Or stay together because they "can't afford to divorce". Or people who fight constantly and hate each other but "don't want to divorce". Or people who marry, but choose to live in separete cities/states/countries because of a job…
  • THIS is the key to a good relationship, no matter what that relationship is specified as!

  • Check out my profile pics. It's taken 4 years at this size, but it's a LOT less than it used to be. ETA: never mind, apparently the progress photo was deleted.
  • Light jacket with your name/addy and bib number sharpied on it. There should be a clothes drop spot on the course. Learn how to fuel (water and nutrients) during your long runs. Get familiar with gu, really, it's amazing. KT tape is a joint saver, Run almost all of your long runs at the start time so you can learn how to…
