    Who's Kicking Your Patoot Today?

    For me it was Coach Sean, #7. That whole 10, one minute intervals alternating sprints/climbs challenge slays me every time! Anyone else? :D

    The Looks a Cat Can Give You!

    Cat lovers will appreciate this. :D Just came back from the grocery store and cranked on some tunes to listen to while putting the food away. I was shimmying and groovin' across the kitchen with my carton of Newman's Own lemonade when I happened to glance over at the cats; both of them were...

    Yoga for Back Pain

    Does anyone have any recommendations for gentle yoga DVD's for back pain? Not for me, but for a friend who has lower back pain. Beginner stuff, she is not an exerciser. Thanks!

    So, I Lost a Hen This Weekend :(

    My first and favorite, Pearl, was attacked and killed by a hawk on Sunday. I fully expected that this might happen someday but still, it's a bummer, and I really wish I hadn't seen it. She was free-ranging but had wandered back into the run and the hawk was able to trap her in there. I know...

    Should I Spend my B-day Money on Insanity?

    Or use it to get several other workouts I've been wanting to try? I think Insanity would be a great long-term investment in my fitness program but at the same time, I'm wondering if I might not need it right now, since I'm really lean already. Decisions, decisions...

    Do Periods Get More Intense Before Menopause?

    I've got to ask because for most of my life my period was no big deal but for the last six months or so it's been awful. I don't sleep the week before, I get blazing headaches (that's been for a couple of years) my skin goes bananas and my mood hits the dirt. I'm the snarling beast from hell...

    What is up With My Neti Pot?!

    This is totally random but all of a sudden I can't use my neti pot! It absolutely burns the inside of my nose until I gag and cough and my eyes water. I've never had this problem before. I've tried different salt, no salt, different water temps -----> same thing. It's really frustrating...
