    For Those Who Followed November's LIS Rotation

    OK, I'll toss in my 2 cents from a different angle here. I chose to do the LIS rotation in November, straight off of long, long, LONG endurance running events....3 marathons, an ultra and a ton of training in between all of it. I wanted to give my joints a break before I kicked it back up in...

    Lost- the loss of one you love

    I am so very very sorry for your loss. Hold onto the memories, feel what you're feeling and be gentle with yourself. Know that many of us are holding you in our prayers.....I hope peace eventually finds you as you find a way to handle your loss. I'm so sorry.

    Is there anyone who's had PF & found a cure?

    Totally, 110% agree with Heather. I had PF while training for a few consecutive half marathons and stopping was NOT an option. I began doing some of the things many have recommended here (never going barefoot, stretching, rolling on a golf ball, etc) and got thru all my scheduled events. That...

    DCDs: Dixie Cup DOMS

    Tougher Mudder

    Indeed I did do one in April, and my NEXT one is 3 weeks from tomorrow. It was a great challenge, a TON of fun, and so rewarding. Honestly, it was a BLAST! Not easy, but not impossible and the teamwork and satisfaction from everybody working together was incredible. As long as you can handle...

    Runners - ? about clothes

    If you find a make/model/style you love and works for you, search for it on eBay. I've been able to score some really great deals for cold weather stuff, for both me AND my DS (football).

    SNAZZY Ladies Check In...Month of April! :)

    Wendy, I started WW about 7 years ago just before DH was diagnosed. I lost about 35 pounds! :eek: It was based on the points system and now that I'm a life member, I've gone back a few times when 8-10# have creeped on and I wanted/needed a new approach to staying accountable. 6# is NOT a...

    SNAZZY Ladies Check In...Month of April! :)

    OK, NO MORE PROMISES from me, cuz I just can't seem to keep them! :p Teri, I understand that. I'm a pretty outgoing person and pretty much those folks don't have a CHOICE but to say HI to me. LOL Wendy, WTG on the WW progress. That's where I started with my weight loss journey about 7...

    SNAZZY Ladies Check In...Month of April! :)

    Teri, you're not being nosey. At this point, I forget that some people might not know my 'story'. We lost my husband (their dad, obviously) in Sept 2004 to leukemia. The boys were 3 and 6 at the time. It's been quite a journey....me raising 2 BOYS! :eek: :D But I do my best but days like...

    SNAZZY Ladies Check In...Month of April! :)

    Happy Foraging, Wendy! ;) Happy Saturday! 14+ mile long run done, started UBER early and dark, was pretty windy as a storm was rolling in (it's hitting us NOW), and I felt tired around mile 10. Guess I shoulda taken a rest day after the Mudder, huh? LOL But, it's done. And besides that...

    SNAZZY Ladies Check In...Month of April! :)

    Wendy, I ended up not doing STS TB! :) I woke up and just wasn't feeling like weights, but I wanted to kill my upper body, so I chose to do MMA:Boxing with my weighted gloves. That always does the trick for UB DOMS! :D Trying to plan out my long run for tomorrow. I can log anywhere from...
