Thanks, Elsie! :)

I always use this recipe to make my own "Gatorade" for my long runs. The recipe comes from Nancy Clark's Sports Nutrition Guidebook. http://consumerist.com/2009/08/make-your-own-sports-drink.html

You all have been hard at work! I've enjoyed your pictures and can't wait for the workouts. Which workout was your favorite and why?

I'm training for a half marathon in October and would also love to know how to incorporate Cathe during that time! When I trained for my first one I barely got any DVD workouts in, and I missed them like crazy!

Happy Monday, Cathe! I started meso 2 for the first time yesterday...so excited for the fitness improvements I'll have to look forward to! Then this morning I almost died while doing Cardio Core Circuit. Whew! You know how to work a girl!! :)

Hi Morningstar, Like you, I have lost over 100 pounds and am now looking to get that last 10-15 off. I haven't read it yet, but someone just recommended this book to me today, so I've put it on reserve at the library. If you want me to give you a report on it once I've had a chance to look...

Wow, that is awesome! Congrats to you. I did my first half this year and when I got to the finish line, I couldn't imagine turning around and doing it all over again! My hat's off to you! Awesome job!

I couldn't have said it better myself! I love not having to debate what to do for the next couple of months strength training wise. I just finished mesocycle 1 and I can already tell I've made HUGE gains. I put off buying it but based on the first 4 weeks alone, I would buy it all over again...

I just finished mesocycle 1 this morning...it's the first time I've done STS. I know I need to lay off the weights, but how intense do you go with the cardio during your active recovery week? Can I run, or is that too much?

Elsie, good luck with your race! I just ran my first half marathon, and there were nearly 20,000 people. I used my polar F6 with no problems. Have fun! The race environment is awesome!

I too am hoping for a Chicago announcement soon! Perhaps it'll be announced shortly after the San Diego trip?

RapidBreath, a weighted vest is a great idea! I need to invest in one of those.

Love that workout! I don't get the DOMS I used to get from it because I do it pretty regularly. And for some weird reason, that bums me out. I guess I feel like I get less of a workout if DOMS doesn't set in? I know it's still a great workout though!

I have peroneal tendonitis in my right foot. It's under my ankle bone, on the side of my foot, and when it is at it's worst it feels like I'm walking on a broken bone. My doctor prescribed orthotics for my shoes...I can't remember specifically which ones, but I can check if you're interested...

Another vote for Chicago! I'm anxious!! :D
