oops. I have to say one more thing. (See, I just can't shut up...) to explain why I brought up the high school example. Last year, when my DS was in 8th grade, there was a girl who had a boyfriend. Everyone knew. I even knew and I'm not particularly in the parent gossip loop. Well as...

HI Lorrie- I haven't posted in a long time -- have had some trouble keeping up with my "activities of daily living" and being a regular poster.... But I lurked today (I'm coming clean...) and saw your post and. I just wanted to add ((( hugs))) to you. I know how crappy it feels when our...

Carole, Linda & Jackie (nice to meet you!) Thanks for the support. I guess this is what I need to do. Carole--Thanks for the good wishes for my kids. They are both doing well. My older son got a qualifying time to swim the mile in the A-level state championship meet. The mile time was...

Hi Cheetahs— I miss chatting with you all, but I think I need to continue my break from posting regularly. My family really noticed a difference last week in my attentiveness/emotional state when I didn’t check in regularly, lurk or read the forums. (sad, but true:( ) I seem to get too...

Hi Cheetahs, Happy Monday! I am going to be taking a break from posting (and lurking) for the week. My kids are off school & DH is off work, so we are going to try to do some fun things as a family and get some much-needed work done around the house. I am also finding that I mis-use...

Jess-finding Cathe was one of the "find other ways to get your Heart Rate up" activities you mentioned yesterday. I think my first purchase was either MIC or the intensity series on video cassettes. Once I got the DVDs, though, there as no going back to video. About the ITB/hip area: it's an...

you can see why I don't have a job as a tour guide?? Shelly C is not East, she is southish sorta eastish of CA.... I needed some afternoon Java -- this perhaps what Wendy would advise...

Wendy-I can’t believe you are already to another recovery week. You are really working hard and time is flying. Which workout will you sub for a run or will you just add it? Jess—great that you are still feeling good after your run. It’s easy to ignore something like tight hips after a run...

Hi Cheetahs- I was off early this morning –another weekend of swim meets. I only had time for a little UB work. It was a lot of driving 30 min. each way, with each kid -- and though I generally enjoy this all, today I was not in the mood... ok enough venting....x( Cathy—Sorry about the...

Sunny-thanks for the good wishes for my friend. She is just the nicest person and has really struggled with work/self esteem issues for a year or two. This is just a happy day for her and her family. Here's a link to the slideboard I use...

Jess-great news! I'm really happy for you. Firewalkers are a good thing for the ITB. Your new philosophy of "I can doesn't mean I should" is very wise. I hope you feel good for your run Sunday. :-) WTG!!!! -Barb :-)

Wendy- Have a fun weekend. Good job getting in your L&B & ARX workout. Karen--I forgot to say that I'm sorry about the chest muscle tear. That's incredible you've been carrying on with all your exercise, despite the injury. I'm glad the echo didn't show anything more serious!! Barb:-)...

Christine—fun workout you did today. I love your new doggie signature. That’s adorable. It’s nice to get to know the workouts well enough that you know what to hit “skip” on the DVD control. Jess—have fun with your full house tonight. I bet you get a lot of compliments on the work you’ve...

Hi Cheetahs— Getting a late check in today. I got home from work late last night, but got up early to exercise and now its kind of a whirlwhind getting ready for the weekend. I’m cooking a lot (which is good) and now I get to go get a haircut. Cathy-have fun with Legs & Back. Your Shoulders...

Hi Cheetahs, Not as much time as I'd like for personals today... Judy--How's your hip today? The section in that RW injury book I liked talked about how to make the decision about whether to run based on the quality of the pain and persistence of the pain, e.g. if the pain goes away with...

Hi Shelly-for some reason, I didn't see your post...good job on your TM run y'day, but I'm sorry Birdy is having a tough time. I would be a nervous wreck if a relative was being dispatched to Pakistan. She will be in my prayers. Have fun with BM2 + EXT today! :-)

Judy--I'm so sorry about the hip strain. The book I got is called "Instant Relief" by Peggy Brill. Did your PT person you saw suggest orthotics? Another book on injury and running I thought was good was...

Laurie--that coffee interview went well. A hug + 2 smiles is good. Good job modifying IMax2 and getting in yoga, too. -Barb :-)

Christine-sounds like a good plan. Judy's premix is hard and you'll probably love it. I did B&G standing y'day and enjoyed it. Kristi-glad there's no brusing from the fall. You have a nice plan for the day with Mass and resting up. -Barb :-)

Christine--I think PP is tougher and more straightforward, but everything is only 1 set, so you can do a premix for 2 sets or 3 sets or do mix-&-Match to do how much you want. I like the sequencing of doing opposing muscle groups. SS has more compound exercises, using the ball, etc. They are...
