  • Nice! And, echoing your and most comments above. I despised running. But, now I know that's because I was doing it wrong. I wasn't taking enough time to warm up. My form sucked. (not that it's great now, but better) Had the wrong kind of shoes. Etc. Etc. Not trying to do a plug here, but a friend recommended it to me so…
  • One more vote for yoga. Went to a training thing where they "forced" us to yoga every AM for the first week. Left with an appreciation of just how good of a body thing that is, and the instructor told us at the end how easy he was going on us...
  • And here I thought you were going to say something like, "...it's not your fault that you can't run that marathon. It's the longer 2nd toe." Can I use this excuse, anyway?
  • My wife has said things like this in the past. Each time I slap on a reassuring smile and tell her to ignore the scale. Watch the calories as you are, get just a bit of exercise, and it'll happen. Patience :) (that was the reassuring smile heh)
  • Sidebar...your comment above reminded me of one of our favorite movies...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Name_Is_Khan
  • If you are a member of the YMCA, call a branch local to your travel destination and see if you can gain access as a guest. I have only recently tried this, but so far, so good.
  • *raises hand* Though, it does sound that you have it worse currently than I do. Moving out of my parents' house away from the dog/dust/etc. took me from where you are medicinally (not to mention the vaporizer albuterol jobbie as needed) to where I am today, which is just needing a puff off of the rescue inhaler whenever…
  • With three kids and a hubby on deployment, idaknow, maybe "very" applies for you. :) We only have two, and when my wife works late or vice versa...phew!
