    Way to Go, Brighton!!!

    Brighton just completed a 1/2 marathon. She had to persevere through icy training runs and some ITB issues. So she is one tough Cathlete! Congratulations, Aqua Cheetah!!!!!

    Cheetahs- advice please!

    Borna, I think everyone's training looks a little different. It's important to find what works for you. I was recently training and I ran 3 days a week, did cross-training cardio 1 day a week, and weight-training one day a week. I ran M, W, Sat. Tues I did some kind of Cathe Cardio. Thursday I...

    WAY TO GO, BRIGHTON!!!!!!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D I finally have good news to report from this side of the world, too. Entering week 2 of my meds, I have rounded the corner!! Parasites are on the run, and the idea (if not the reality) of exercising finally sounds inviting. I've appreciated...

    :♥: CHEETAHS :♥: Half Marathon Countdown 3/16-3/22

    The lab results are back, and the good news is that I know what I have and can start treating it. The bad news is that what I have is nasty. It's an amoeba--which is a fierce little parasite. Some of them can be gotten rid of with one dose of medicine, or even 2 or 3 days worth. But for what I...

    Brighton--I'm so excited about your upcoming 1/2. I know you'll do great. Yeah--play it safe this week!! So sorry about your friend Jen. We just learned that the wife of one of the pastors at our sending church has very advanced breast cancer. I don't know how they didn't find it before, but her...

    Anybody canceling vacation this year?

    Debbie--I love Wendy Loo's idea. I think it is SO important that we take time to refresh and rejuvenate ourselves, and if you've got a friend who can allow you to do that for less money, then great. But do make a trip yourself to see family. I love it when creative minds can turn an either-or...

    Wendy--I'm growing to like resistance bands. I wasn't a fan of them at first. But the more I use them, the more I like them. And they're wonderful for traveling! So I'm glad they're growing on me. Glad you enjoyed them for BI.

    Wendy--You take an anti-parasitic drug with antibiotic properties. I've learned more about pharmacology living here than I ever would've dreamed! :p

    I have apparently been signed up for a "parasitic weight loss program" without my knowledge. After coming down with malaria 3 weeks ago, I now have a GI amoeba!! :mad: What I'm thinking is that I got this while my immunity was already down, 'cause we have all kinds of little critters here that...

    •• CHEETAHS •• Week of 3/2-3/8

    I'm back. I have absolutely nothing to report except for an extremely relaxing week with family and co-workers. We were about 3000 feet higher than we are at home, so it was cooler. I thought of Brighton, because the temperature was about 50, and we were all THRILLED because that was sweatshirt...

    ♥♥ CHEETAHVILLE ♥♥ Thursday

    Robin--Fun to see you on the Cheetah site. I have no good advice, though, so I'm glad Brighton did. ;) Wendy--I was wondering the same thing about those hearts in the thread title!! Hope you had a good run. Did you do 5? Have a great vacation. I'm packed and headed out the door at 7am! I'm...

    Cheetahs...Wednesday!

    LOVE the Borg Smiley, Brighton. DH will love it, too. Yet another reason for him to read the Cheetah thread. :p It was Star Trek: The Experience, though, not a convention. We do dream of going to a convention. But this is like a museum, plus a gift shop, a restaurant, and a couple of rides...

    Cathe and Twitter and FB!

    OK. I "became a fan" yesterday when she was at 416 fans, and in just one day it's up to almost 1000. :)

    TXGin...

    RetroFit--I love your TXGin album. Gin is such a sweet, caring person. She made special effort to see me after the RT before I came back to Uganda. I'd love for her to be overwhelmed by love from her Cathe crew. I loved what Wally said on her CaringBridge site about her Cathe workouts having...

    Cathe and Twitter and FB!

    It is really fun to connect with Catheites in places other than these forums. I did not have any Cathe FB friends, although I was emailing with a few RT friends. Now I'm connecting "out there" too. Fun.
