    Mar Rotation Mon Mar 13

    Hi Ladies, Am a day late checking in. I'll be starting the March rotation all over cause I didn't workout at all Wed-Sun. Cause the builders were doing my living room (don't like working out with strange men in the house), I was up way too late every evening trying to fix my computer...

    Daily Check-In - March 13/06

    Shelley, so sorry you had such a bad run. Have you had your hip checked out by a PT? Maybe he/she can suggest some specific ex. that may help with the injury? Maybe drastically cutting back on the mileage?

    Afternoon everyone, Haven't worked out in five days, due to the builders in my house, work, kids, household, computer problems and me painting, painting and some more painting. And clearing out the 2nd floor of my house, cause the builders will be back on Wednesday to start work there. Not...

    Daily Check-In Tuesday 7 March

    GOOOOOOOD Morning everyone, In a very happy mood (as usual)... my kids were fed up with me this morning as they didn't appreciate my singing and dancing in their bedroom when I woke them. I had already done a 4K run and MM-Legs. Had such a great run, probably because I expected it to be...

    NEED OPINIONS: Favorite Yoga Video

    Yogazone: Stretch&Tone and Flexibility&Stress Release (both about 40min). Love the flow of the w/o. They're not overly complicated but they are great if you want to get more flexible and I like Alan Finger's voice. Very soothing and calm. And at the end there is a relaxation part. I have...

    music

    Yes, I also order from dynamix. I prefer the cd's with 140 (warm up)- 155bpm or more. It's great when you run in sync with the music. Also, check out djsteve.com. He has podcasts on his site especially for runners (his wife is a runner). It's free. Note: didn't like it when I played it on...

    Daily Check-In - March 6/06

    Good day all, Shelley, poor thing, hope you feel better soon. Carole, we get the occasional snow, but this time it seems to be here to stay. Love walking with my doggies in the snow and they love it too, but I'm too afraid I'll twist my knee when I go out for a run so I'm confined to the...

    For those that have added running to their cardio

    I run 4 days (total mileage 40-50K a week) but I've never seen any slimming of the lower body unless I pay attention to my food. Lower Body training does help tighten things up and lifting my butt.

    Daily Check In March 5th!

    quick post cause Norton is refusing to be enabled. Can you tell I have been trying to set up my network again? I'm starting to think I've got a virus, since I can't install anything. Did an 18K run (minus 60 meters) on the tread mill. Was watching Red Rose (some two part tv film) and...

    When running on a treadmill, do you...

    I do different things: I may run on CC, or run on exercise music with 140-160bpm and/or watch tv at the same time. So I voted 'other'.

    Nerve Conduction Test: Is it worth it?

    I've had had it done a few years ago when I was having tingling sensations and a "dead" arm sensation which was related to my whiplash. It's not painful, or uncomfortable in my case. They were just testing to see if any signals were coming through. It didn't mean much to me, except that...

    Daily Check-In - March 2/06

    Hi all, Great w/o's. You put me to shame, I haven't worked out yet. Felt very weak this morning. Probably didn't eat enough yesterday. But, I had to push my bike through the snow a couple of times. Too much snow too ride. Great for my legs, though. And boy, did I have to do a couple of...

    Daily Check In, March 1st!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hello everyone, Spring is on its way! Did GS UB premix today. And then I didn't run 9K. Wanna know why? Well I started with the warmup of GS-legs. Then went out on a run. First 2K I kept my HR at about 145. I know from the treadmill that equals about 8.5KPH. As I went into the 3rd K I...

    ANOTHER question for runners...

    I do a 2K warm-up shortly before the race and a light stretch so I can start at race pace (HR 165-175). For me, that's how I prefer to run a 5K.
