I have a pair of the sketchers shape ups that I wear for work only (12 hour shifts on my feet). They are SO comfortable, help with posture and my lower back/legs don't hurt at the end of the night like they used to with my other shoes. Love them! That said, I don't feel any "shaping" benefits...

Gels, bloks, etc. are not for recovery, they are basically just instant sugar that your body and utilize immediately DURING exercise. They are made so that during exercise you don't have to "work" at eating something and it is a lot easier for your body to digest these rather than bulky foods...

Great advice already, just adding that I've been there too and agree that throwing a question back to them usually disarms them and you'll find out if they are a true friend or if you need to dump them. Life is WAY to short to be around negative people like that who just bring you down. I've...

Thanks Nan, Tricia, Travis, Coradora, Dixie, Tracy !!! :D Janie, it is really different but you'll get used to it soon ;) What I love about triathlon is that there are SOOO many things to learn and improve that it never gets boring. Always another challenge around the corner and that's how...

Last year at this time I had an acute autoimmune attack--I was very sick with thyroid disease and planning for surgery to have my thyroid removed. It was a really difficult time for me and I was a basket case. I didn't feel like I'd ever be able to walk a mile again, let alone get back into...

Thanks! I was just thinking the same thing--I like my shoulders/arms so I want to show them off! I just looked at some of the clips of their other workouts and people are wearing all different things--from bike jerseys to sports bras. They just said wear something colorful--so you're right...

So true!! One of my favorite quotes: "The most important thing you will ever train is your mind."

That sounds like a good plan, and great that your husband can possibly help you out in the ocean too--when the time comes. :) That is a sweet bike!! Yes, road bikes are completely different than mountain bikes. The tires are tiny!! So sorry to hear about your cancer scare, sorry it's been...

Janie, that is AWESOME!! I've done Bay to Breakers a few times too--so fun and crazy:p Hmmm...honestly learning how to swim, swimming in a pool, then swimming in cold open water with waves and crazy people are all really different things. Before you make the committment, I'd suggest you...

Ok, now I'm nervous!! I got my official casting email today--NOW it feels real! :eek: They are filming two workouts that day and I'll be in the second one that will be "a short and hard workout, including some threshold training and sprints, lasting up to one hour. Be prepared to be on the bike...

Luckily I don't have Celiac, but my cousin does and eats certified gluten free oats and is fine with that...

I can understand the need to raise money, but this seems like "dirty" money. Definitely sending mixed messages to the public...:confused:
