ER visit turns into NSV
So, Monday I had to go to the ER for chest pain (really really bad!!) that I had been experiencing all weekend. I was 99.9% sure it was from esophageal spasms (family history), but you say chest pain to your primary care doc's receptionist and they tell you ER. So, I made my way to the ER that afternoon. Now, I *knew* what…

Snapshot of a REAL run. . . not all sunshine & roses
So, yesterday morning had a 10 miler on the schedule. I went to bed the night before with a plan for waking just after sunrise, a mapped out path, and the expectation of a flawless run like I'd had at that mileage 2 weeks before (last weekend was a step back week). Well, the first sign that things weren't going to work out…

Running Inspriation
For you all runner....Be you C25K newbies, recreational runners, weekend warriors, or elite athletes I found this today and feel the urge to share. It's just that kind of day for me. :-) Stolen from Sexy Mother Runner on FB....."What defines you as a runner isn't how many miles you've run or how fast you run. What defines…

Talk about media being a big cosmic kill-joy!
Short story: I'm a novice distance runner (love me some half marathons) and I work in an office in a moderate sized city where I do happen to run on my lunch breaks. Even looking at the titles of these articles, you'll see why my head is about to explode! D@mned if you do, and d@mned if you don't!! Urban Jogging may be…

Runner's "hig" my observations
Clearly didn't pay attention to my spelling above. . .apologies. Looking like an idiot now. . . **shame face**. While I'm still a new"er" runner (I've been at this about 16 months). . .I have seen people on here asking about "why" runners run and they always say something about "never getting that runner's high" or…

Out of the mouth of babes. . .
So, I'm sitting at dinner yesterday when my 6 y.o. son looks at me and asks, "Mom, why were you so FAT (his emphasis on fat) when we went to Kelly's Island?" I almost choked on my dinner! I asked what he meant and he used his hands to indicate that my belly was apparently quite bloated in his mind at that point. **He was…

*Runners* Shoe Question
Greetings All! Just finished a half marathon today and my feet are a mess. I've tried Asics 2160 & 2170 and have switched to Brooks PureFlow (trying to go with LOW heel to toe drop) and have a terrible time with both shoes. I have a wicked bunion (thanks MOM!!!) on my right foot, but mild one on my left. I have the…

Christmas Cookies on the Brain
Gang, I have a MISERABLE sweet tooth. And I've had Chistmas cookies on the brain for the last 2 days. I make cookies and package them up all pretty to give to friends/coworkers/neighbors as gifts. This is usually a month long process of baking and freezing, dividing and packaging and then a mad flurry of deliveries. I get…

Ladies. . . .shaving issues
So, ladies, have any of you who have had significant weight loss notice that it's harder to shave your legs & underarms? I've been noticing that my knees have lost their "fluff" and it makes shaving the front or behind the knee tricky. I routinely get in the sun and see areas that I've apparently missed for over a month?!?…

Total Rant. . .Can't believe my child has survived thus far
Ok, I read a TON of health related stories on line. I peruse health headlines a LOT. So, yesterday I see this headline about a study linking childhood obesity and antibiotic use. Long story short, they see a marked increase in obesity in children given antibotics within the first 6 months of life. My daughter, who is…

**RUNNERS** Looking for suggestions on running jackets.
Hey Gang! My b-day is rolling around and my hubby wants to buy me a running jacket. Have been looking at the Nike Vapor, but am interested in what other runners like. Fit, style, utility. . .etc. I'm interested to hear some feedback. Sorry it's not the sexiest post of the day, but I'm sure someone can take it there if…

My Unexpected, Random NSV
So, I've never posted my own post in the message boards, but here goes. I've always been inspired by people's NSV stories. And today I had my very own. While at the hospital getting an ultrasound done for some renal issues, the tech was digging around for quite some time on my right side. I jokingly asked if my right…
