Good Morning Cheetahs!
Judy-I'm glad to hear that the PT exam was so helpful! Does the PT have any more specific idea of what's causing the hip issues after the exam?
Laurie-I think that a few extra carbs the week of the event, like a half, couldn't hurt and will probably only help. I do know that pre-race, eat only what you do before your long runs, what has been proven to work for you and not upset your stomach at all during the stress of the intense workout. A vegetarian plate might be a good idea, if it's all things you're used to eating---however, if it's too fibrous and gassy (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, beans) or spicy--onions, garlic, hot peppers it could give you trouble the next day. I'd stick to something safe and simple. The bread basket, rice, pasta, carrots, green beans, soy. I'm sure you'll get more specific advice though
Wendy-Sorry to hear that you and Joey aren't feeling well :-( My vote is for Muscle Endurance as that one always feels like major endurance work! So cool that you'll be getting those new DVD's, boy do I have some mishmoshes for you!
Katie-PUB is killer isn't it? Maybe a power walk instead of a run? Easier on the back
Natalie-Wendy stole the words right out of my mouth! Hi though!
Carole-Well you make me run, so I guess we're even;-) }( How's the elliptical been working for you? DH really wants a treadmill, but I secretly want an elliptical, oh dear, how to break the news...
Cathy-DH has frequent trouble with calves, he's supposed to run less hills and stretch, and stretch some more. Right there with you on packages. I got a note in my mailbox yesterday that one is waiting for me at the post office:7
Jess-Busy, busy cheetah! Good solid advice for Laurie

That's so cool about your new van! Are you just going to bike the next two days for crosstraining?
Christine-I suppose if I were moving to such a beautiful place, that might be incentive to get me to do it again, lol:7
Barb-Hello to brief cheetah in passing! The problem is we're all so fast it's hard to stay and talk, LOL
Thomasina!!!-I love it when you post Meatless Inca}( And I was just starting to think about taking up biking, 71 miles, with hills! My legs burn just thinking about it. I hope there were some good downhills in there too, those make the uphills to worth it:7
Howdy all other cheetahs!
So I did only MM yesterday and since I did it later in the day I seemed to have crazy amounts of strength, LOL! I actually upped most of my weights, and "choked up on my band"}( Today---DOMS:7
Today is a steady state cardio of some kind, maybe a run, maybe some hi/lo. I have to see what it's like outside right now. But I'm thinking run}(
