    good sports bras

    Here's an article on the movement of breasts during running and I believe this holds true when doing high impact. Note: this research was sponsored by a bra manufacturer but I absolutely do believe you need a good (sports)bra http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4607642.stm

    Daily Check-In Saturday, January 14th

    Hi all, Robyn, you really don't need to be young to go to France :P I was feeling really well this morning, took the doggies out twice for very long walks, but right after lunch I felt tired and sleepy. So as a w/o I watched the XC championchips in Edinburgh which were on the BBC. And...

    Children invited or not invited to wedding - etiquette

    Yep, even babies are there. And it's always very informal, jeans etc are very well acceptable (actually, this applies to funerals too, incl. the kids).

    Children invited or not invited to wedding - etiquette

    I've never had my kids excluded for anything. And I wouldn't go if they would ever be. That wouldn't seem right to me. After reading "wedding posts" over the past few years, I've noticed a truly cultural difference concerning weddings compared to Dutch / European weddings.

    Seen it, loved it. Didn't seem like 3 hours. And so did my boys (13 and 15yo). They want me to buy it on dvd.

    Hi all, Did a long walk with my doggies. It's about all I can do right now. First time out of the house since Sunday. Feeling better, bur weak. That's what no food does to you, I guess ;-) Did start back on veggie juices today to get some vitamins in. And toasted white bread. And tea with...

    Hi everyone, Thought I'd start the January rotation today. Boy did that go wrong! After the first two cycles of Bootcamp I felt really dizzy so I had a few sips of my shake. After the third cycle I felt really sick. And after finishing the fourth cardio I had my head in the toilet.... I...

    Daily Check-In Tuesday December 27th

    Happy five o'clock everyone ;-) Recently read a post about push&pull and realised I only did this one once and thought it was too easy. So I looked at the premixes and did P&P Legs double premix and the P&P Upper Body double premix. Doubling made it harder and I really liked it. There's also...

    Daily Check-In Friday, December 16th

    Hello Tammy, Never done any of the HCXtremes yet. That one is still a virgin on my shelf. Is it any good? Did an easy PUB UP premix this morning. Incl. abs. And just walked both my pups during my lunchbreak. I'm lucky I work 4 car minutes away from home. It takes Spikey a bit of time to...

    DAILY CHECK-IN Tuesday 13 Dec.

    yes Jane, I have several visualizations, like a Hawaii beach I once visited when it's really cold outside, but the steam engine works best for me when I need a push. I can really see the furnish and the hot coals that give the energy and adding more coals if I need to ;-) It makes me run faster.
