Treadmill Running "Road Trip"
Hi All, I ready something about a guy who did his running on a treadmill, and then tracked his distance on a map, and was able run "across the country", plan routes to pass "land marks", etc. Has anyone heard of an app or program that does this?

30 days, 6 pounds, happy camper!

I usually just go for the old club soda with lime routine, but the other night I had a grapefruit juice with lime and a splash of grenadine, and it was SO YUMMY! Do you have any yummy non-soda, non-alcoholic drinks that you like to order or make?

When a mole hill seems like a mountain...
Well, hello. In the past 6 months, I've gained a bit of weight. Not a huge amount, but all of my pants are fitting tight, and a few I can't even wear - I think it's only about 8 pounds in total, but darn if I don't nearly start crying every time I look in the mirror or pull on a pair of pants.
