Stocking Stuffers
As long as all these creative gift ideas are flying around, what do you all stuff the stockings with? We have boring stuff: toothbrush, hair things, nail polish, candy, gum. :yawn: Any fun ideas?

Half-marathoners: Help with hitting the wall
I have run the same 20K four years in a row. I hit a wall somewhere between miles 8 and 10. I don't use gel or goo. Any suggestions? I'm training next for a half in the fall, and I'd love to beat my 20K time.

adjustable dumbbells
Does anyone have these? You know the types with the plates? I have seen some around $350 that go up to quite higher weights. I think they are by Bowflex.

Runner's Club: Nov. 24
Hello everyone! I am on a self-imposed running break while I follow the P90X program. But on my recovery weeks, I'm slipping some running in.

My niece turns 16 Dec. 9. Of course her list for birthday and Christmas is : a car or money or a gift card to some of her favorite clothing stores.

Boy vs. Girl pushups
I'm currently doing P90X. In the book, they recommend doing "boy" push-ups when you can complete 12-15 "girl" push-ups. Here's my question: I can do 12-15 + girl push-ups with good range of motion, but with "boy" push ups, I can barely go down to a 45 degree angle. Am I better off to stick with the girl push-up, and get…

TEMPTATIONS!
We are celebrating a co-workers birthday today. There are homemade salted nut rolls, warm apple cider, and snack mix with popcorn, peanuts, and candy corn in our teachers lounge. Add to that, someone brought in snack size York patties and Heath bars. So far, so good, but man, it is everything I can do to stay away!!!!

adjust age
I just realized I didn't put in my correct age. It's off by 20 years, so I assume it's affecting my caloric recommendation. I've tried going into my profile to fix it, but I don't get anything for age. HELP!
