Thanks for asking Guru. I did do it on Saturday. This was my sixth one ( I have done one every month for the past 6 months) and my goal was to get below two hours. My time was 1:56 so I was pretty darn happy. My legs are not feeling like doing much today however. Not super sore....but not...

thumbs up I got my videos on Monday but had a half marathon on tap for Saturday so I was holding off on doing any.( Did Flex) I did LLA today and wasn't sure if it was a smart idea the day after my run, but it was perfect. I might be kicking myself tomorrow but I liked the new moves and the...

Way to Go!! Awesome and good for you! For me the races are all about pushing myself out of my comfort zone and seeing if I can do it. There is a natural progression through the course of the race: Start out feeling nervous but excited, get into the groove and think "I can do this", hit the...

How did your race go? I have been running for the past year or so and did my first half in May. Word of caution...races are addictive. I am not super fast but more people finish after me then before me. I am now getting ready to do my 5th half in as many months next weekend. But I am also...

Jeanne...I have done that same thing before. Sadly it doesn't always work. I am built with 'not much in the front seat' but a whole lot of junk in the trunk. There is nothing worse than feeling that panic and worry that I am going to have to call my husband in to cut the thing off of me! ha...

I am small chested ( 34A) and typically don't wear a bra when I work out at home. However, I have recently gotten into running outdoors and feel the need to wear a bra out in public and do appreciate the support. The problem I have is I cannot stand pull over running bras or compression tanks...

We had a pool for the last four years we lived in Texas. It is the one thing I miss now that I live in Northern California. We hired a service that did just the chemicals. They came in every Monday morning and would do the chemicals and be out in around 5 minutes. Once or twice a year they...

Woke up to a beautiful but slightly chilly morning so I went for a 5 mile run. When I got home my husband wanted to go out in our kayak so we paddled around the bay for 3 miles. The water was so calm but my hands were a bit chilly. Great way to end the year.

I tried to bag it as we unwrapped but my 15 year old son told me I had to stop. He insists on ending up with paper all over the floor. He says its how things are supposed to be on Christmas morning. He then does his salute to Randy on "A Christmas Story" and acts like he is asleep in the mess...

My son is 15 and was diagnosed with ADD ( no H) during 4th grade. the first meds we tried were Focalin. He started on 5 mg and has progressed up to 15. It has been wonderful. He has never had any be reactions to it. We are lucky that he can skip it on the weekends and holidays. I teach...

What fun After reading your post, I did a search and there is a place here in San Francisco! Now I just have to convince someone to go with me.

I assume Trader Joe's Cookie Butter doesn't count! That stuff is pure evil goodness. I usually stick to almond butter.

I live in the San Francisco area and a couple of weeks ago we also had ride your bike to school one day followed by ride you bike to work the next day. It's an annual event here. Our kids got a treat for riding to school. I loved that some of the kids I teach that live to far to ride all the way...
