    Taxi woes

    Fantastic news! Maybe the next passenger found the bag and was fooling around with the camera before reporting it. Who knows. Important thing is that you have it all back! Glad to hear. Cathy :)

    another cardio question

    I also own BFFM and did not get the impression that Venuto thinks HIIT is just hype. If you are looking to burn fat, he recommends both steady-state cardio and HIIT. He writes, "My advice is to use both forms of cardio training, focusing on total calorie expenditure and leaning towards HIIT when...

    MP3 and holder?

    I use the armband and find it to be very comfortable. I slip the cord from the headphones down the back of my shirt and then connect it to my iPod, so the wires aren't bouncing around in front of my arms, which used to annoy me. Changing songs isn't a problem. I strap it to my left arm, so I...

    Wendy :: great job on pushing yourself to a new distance! It truly was a perfect day for a run. Laurie :: wow, sounds like a helluva ride! I love biking, but I only really do it when I am vacationing in Germany. Where I live it is just not all that pedestrian-friendly, and it sort of takes...

    :::: CHEETAHS :::: runnin' down a dream ~ Sun, 7.1

    Hey, Shelly! Yes, I did manage to get back to sleep. Feel fine now. :) My sleep patterns have gotten out of whack in the last two years or so.

    :::: CHEETAHS :::: runnin' down a dream ~ Sun, 7.1

    Hola, cheetahs ~ Another bout of insomnia here…grrr. Tossed and turned and couldn’t get comfortable enough to fall back asleep, so I figured I’d get up, stretch, and sit up for awhile. There is nothing good on TV, so here I am. The rotation today calls for a “long” run + abs from PUB, but I...
