Good morning ladies: Hi, Mariangeles. Sounds like you are enjoying your workouts lately. Thats great. Have fun running the Race. Your post put an immediate smile on my face, because yesterday I spent hours at the hospital undergoing prophylactic, intense breast cancer diagnostic...

HI, Jane, Mariangeles, Cathy and all the ladies to follow: Yesterday was a rest day. It was Yom Kippur. Today is a 1 hour run by the lake for relaxation purposes. Then 5 hours of breast cancer study testing at the hospital/university where I work. My mother got breast cancer at my age...

I agree with your DH too, but I can certainly understand your frustration. I have never wanted children either and I get hounded from people who should mind their own business too. I also agree with Janice that somehow some people with kids, think they are better than childless by choice...

Doesnt anyone like plain old black coffee? I love Starbuck's Venti Cafe Americano's without anything added. When I order the coffee I am always asked whether I want any whipped cream, flavoring, steamed milk or need room for cream. When I tell them I want it black and to the top, they look at...

HI, I live in Chicago and I run outside in all weather. Kinda like the postman...? This is for those days where it is below freezing. Anyway, I warmup inside with a little jogging in place. I also wear a scarf over my mouth while running (I find this helps keep my throat from getting soar...

Good morning Cathy: Yesterday was supposed to be a quick shopping half day downtown at Marshall Fields (soon to Macy's). We went to buy a new Sony tv/stand and ended up walking 7 miles to a Best Buy on the near North side. I never would have guessed that downtown Chicago has NO electronic...

Hello ladies: I am addicted to step classes/videos, but lately I found myself only running outdoors. I find that the time away from the lab where I can easily be disturbed while working out has a big influence on my decision. I am getting so addicted to running alone that I run for at least...
