I work in a health care setting, but have no direct contact with patients. Not sure if this is a standard thing, but I have to do a yearly TB test and had to do blood draws to prove I had all my shots, such as MMR. So I look at the flu shot as just one more thing I have to do. I think it is...

I like doing 1 of the workouts as an add-on after a run. I really like the ones I have done. I think the pace is good, unlike some of the total body DVDs where there is little to no rest, I find the amount of time between exercises is perfect. There are a few exercises in the ball routine that...

I tend to only follow the weight training portion of the posted rotations. I've only done half marathons, but I find as the runs get longer, I back off leg workouts (which is probably not a good thing).

I've never done a full, but google FIRST. It is Furman Institute......don't know the rest. Anyway, it is based on 3 runs, but 3 quality runs (I think it is 1 speed session, 1 tempo and 1 long run).

I second the suggestion to see a PT. While I didn't necessarily find the PT itself worthwhile (they had me doing upper body exercises that I was already doing at home), they did tell me what exercises to avoid. I think it depends where you have rotator cuff issues, for me, the PT said to avoid...

Not Cathe, but something I read on this board or a different one has stuck with me--they are YOUR workouts. You can use them in whatever way works best for you. I know I shift workouts around based on what's going on in my life and when it is easiest to do a long workout versus a short one or...

I typically don't follow rotations as they are written because I run. Right now I am running a lot less since I don't like running in the dark. Here's how I plan on doing the weight work. For cardio, I'll be running on the weekends (weather permitting), should have a spin bike in the next few...

I was finishing an asylum volume 2 rotation this week, so haven't has a chance to use the new DVDs. I did the 2 bonus sections on Legs today. Both are about 15 minutes and I will use both quite a bit in the future. I thought the number of reps in Barre was just right, I felt worked, but I was...

I'm also training for a half marathon. I am doing 3 or 4 days running and 2 or 3 days of weight training. Your plan looks good. You may want to switch around your Thursday and Friday if your legs wind up sore from lifting. If you have STS, you may want to do the bonus leg work in meso 1 as an...

I tend to only follow the strength training portions of a rotation and do 3 or 4 days of running each week. Sometimes I will take the type of cardio and mirror my run to it. For example, if the rotation calls for Imax, I do an interval run. Hope this helps!

In Maryland and got mine today.

Have you checked with your local running stores? Many of the 5ks I have done are managed by a local store. If you have done 5ks in the past, you could look at t-shirts and other free stuff to see who has acted as a sponsor.

Not web sites, but if you have a Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls or Burlington Coat factory, you can get some really good deals. I got a Nike jacket for $8 last year at Burlington. As far as web sites, I haven't found any come close to the discount stores, but maybe try Kelly's Running Warehouse. I...

I use a road bike on a trainer and have used Cardio Coach. I have also downloaded 2 Motion Traxx posdcasts called Cycling Interval Mix, I did the longer of the two this weekend and it was pretty good. I'd settle for good music & an audio download by Cathe!

I was surprised to get my dvds Monday afternoon since it seems like everything in the state of Maryland has shut down due to the snow. It's probably a good thing I am a not-so-lucky administrative school employee, so I had to go into work, otherwise I may have done all the dvds out of boredom...

I've never owned an i-Pod or similar device, so this could be my not being used to the technology. I downloaded Zune so I could watch downloads on my laptop. I cannot figure out how (if possible) to view chapters. I got LoMax, Boot Camp and Muscle Endurance, so I know the DVDs have chapters...
