They have a due date for entry (usually the first part of April?) Everybody pays $11 to enter the lottery. I think they have about 40,000 spots and about 100,000 entries every year. You have a 1 in 3 chance of getting picked because of all the pre-qualified entrants. If you enter 3 years in...

Thank you Wendy, Elaine, Belinda, & Regina! :) LOL, too funny about your friend. I've also made a similar mistake! During one marathon I decided to have seafood the night before the race. It was a "two looper" marathon and I was running with a pace group. Needless to say the first loop I...

I have been trying to get into the New York City Marathon for the last three years (this was my fourth year and guaranteed!) I just got this email today: "Dear Kathy G, You have received guaranteed entry to the ING New York City Marathon 2011." YaaaHOO! I'm finally in! :) I live in...

Gayle, Wow, AWESOME job on the walk! They do a Relay for Life at the High School track down the road from me. I should look into it! How great was that that you were able to do it with your boys! :) Yes, we should do something together (half maraton maybe?) You'd have to slow down for...

Yay, LOVE new runners enthusiasm. :) Keep it up! :) Nan, You can do way more than you think you can. :) I have those days "during training" for a race almost every time so don't let that stop you from getting to the start line. :) Kathy G

Love, love, love my Garmin 305! The heart rate strap is super comfortable and the stats you get off this thing are awesome! :) DH tried to get in on the Walmart deal too but missed it. :( Kathy G

Great stuff! I enjoy reading everyone's fitness/race plans and goals. :) This is mine (subject to change as some of the races haven't posted exact dates and I'm just going according to what they've done in the past). *********** 2011 – Tentative 1) Bassman ½ Iron Duathlon (run...

Thought I'd pass this great deal along. I just bought Cathe's Firewalker Bands (3 pack) from Dick's Sporting Goods online for $8.99 (with free shipping). The sale is 25% off of one item - plus put in this code for free shipping (FSNOVEMBER)...

So sorry for your injury! I had ACL reconstruction surgery in 2006. If it requires surgery, you'll have about 4-5 months of physical therapy after to strengthen the muscles and be able to walk again without limping. :( It took me about a year to feel back up to speed again but 3.5 years later...

That sounds like a great idea Gayle, I'm up for it! :) I only have two definite races on my agenda for next year - 50 miler on 7/16/11 - and the NYC marathon the first week in November 2011 (I actually qualify for it in 2011 because I haven't been picked for 3 years in a row). ;) Anyone...

LOL, I totally understand! I'm running my third half marathon this month tomorrow. ;) I think it's not such a bad addiction to have....;) Good luck with all your races, sounds like you'll be having some fun! :) Kathy G

Congratulations Carole and Emily!!! :D Kathy G

I "adapted" this from the Biggest Loser website (one of Curtis Stone's recipes). My whole family enjoyed it (which is rare, lol!) I've also made a batch and froze it in plastic containers for lunch. It's chocked full of veggies but you don't really taste them all since they're a part of the...

Glad I could help, Tammy. I just started another round of STS (along with running) and I'm really enjoying it. You'll have to check back and let us know how you like STS and how you do on your races. :) Kathy G

WOW, what inspirations Nancy and Amanda are! They looked super at Daytona but they look amazing now! :) GREAT job ladies! Thanks for providing a little kick-in-the-pants inspiration this morning Cathe. I could use a good dose of that.....;) Kathy G

STS Strength is an entire set by itself and STS Cardio can be purchased as either a set or individual DVDs. STS Strength is an awesome system to add to your marathon/half marathon training. It's three DVDs per week (2 upperbody/1 lowerbody) for twelve weeks. So it will fit right into the...

I heard a rumor over at VF that there was an announcement at the Glassboro RT for new Cathe workouts? Any more info? :) I'm so excited, yay! :) Kathy G

Nicole, The treadmill either has iFit Live (which requires a separate purchase of a module), an SD slot for iFit cards, or an input for iFit via your computer which is the oldest technology. So the newer treadmills will have iFit Live, the 3 years or younger treadmills will probably have...
