I have to agree with Wendy on the 6 month rotation for the very same, exact reasons she stated. I LOVED doing each week's workout twice before moving onto the next week. I did 1RMs for the very first time I did STS (6 month) and was happy with that. When I started the 6 month rotation the 2nd...

I want to be Katniss when I grow up! :D I've read the trilogy twice now and gave my 13 year old son the first book to read for school. He got about 4 chapters in and decided he didn't like it; he just said it didn't catch his interest. I LOVED the books, but I didn't force it on him. I'm...

Teri, Low Max is at the top of my list of faves. Glad to hear it's effective, aren't ya? LOL Great job...now, when are you planning on playing with the new DVDs? I posted my race report for the Mudder on my FB page, although you may have already seen it. Still a bit sore in my...

Hey guys. I'm here. I'm alive. And I HAD a #@*(&%@(&*...ing AWESOME TIME at Mudder yesterday! It wasn't easy, but I LOVED it. I felt so incredibly strong and in control at all times. TONS and TONS of hills and mountains and ski slopes because, well, we WERE at a ski resort after all! I...

Dang laundry NEVER seems to learn to wash itself, does it? I have a pair of plate weights that hold onto my 10# neoprene-covered DBs just fine. It's the only pair of covered DBs I own, but the magnets hold strongly onto it. Just thought I'd mention it. The Tough Mudder is...

:D :D :D From a daily thread, to a weekly and now a MONTHLY thread! LOL Too funny! SORRY.....yeah, I know, you've heard it all before. :p I've been busy with stuff...not SWAMPED and certainly not so much that I should have missed posting with you guys for an entire week! I admit...

Colleen....the economy is killing a lot of us, so I'm offering up that prayer for you. I'm currently doing a LOT of reading on finances, budgeting, saving, yada yada. I'm reading Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover. I figure if I learn just ONE new thing or technique or 'secret', then it was...

What earned you MY vote was not only that picture, but your story below it. You're doing a very wonderful thing for those kids and SO many others. GOOD LUCK!

Oh MAN, you guys. I can't keep up with all the PC stuff I'm 'supposed' to do everyday. Anyway....so, I'm not going to do personals, but I DID read everything up to now. My week...this past weekend was my 20 miler (Saturday) and it went really well. By Sunday morning I was feeling 100%...

OK OK, before Wendy comes tracking me down, I'm HERE! :D Sorry! Where did I leave off? Saturday? Sunday? :) No time right now, sorry! Just wanted to say I'm HERE and don't send out the cavalry to look for me. Be back tonight....I've got the weekly stadium steps circuit heaven in an hour...

Wendy, wise choice, my dear. Get some rest tonight, sleep well, and hopefully whatever the ickyness is will be gone when you wake up! Terina, I'd be interested in trying out the bars and protein powders. Thanks for offering. I'll pay shipping. This morning's workout....was supposed to...

WENDY!!!!!!!!!! THE SNOW IS COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're forecasted for 4-8" starting tonight and continuing THRU TOMORROW INTO THURSDAY!!!!!!! :D How crazy is that??? Ok, so this morning's workout looked like this: w/u from GS Chest/Tris I did a push up/tricep dip circuit using the...

Terina, CTX and Cardio Kicks are AWESOME! Of ALL of Cathe's kickboxing, I love Cardio Kicks the most, believe it or not. (MMA: Boxing is a very close second.) CTX is great even if you just use parts of it.....Leaner Legs is a quick but WAY effective lower body workout, the All Abs segment is...

Colleen, how has it been since the show opened???? Wendy, how was the weather by YOU today? I couldn't believe it when I opened the curtains and saw SNOW and SLEET!!!!!!!!! Speaking of filling in the gaps, I just found myself a duathlon in May, the weekend before my marathon. :D lol It's a...

You'll be fine for the Warrior Dash. I don't want to downplay it, so don't take this as me putting it down, but I think of the WD more of a 5K with an obstacle course. It won't be easy, but you won't die. lol ANd that's what I keep telling myself about the Tough Mudder. My personal biggest...

:D Hi, Jean!!!!!!!!!!! Saw this post was by YOU and just had to respond. I've got a Warrior Dash on my schedule in June. But I've also got The Tough Mudder in 3 WEEKS and I'm afraid. I wish these 2 events were scheduled the other way around. :D I'm curious what others have to say about...

You are way too kind, Wendy. lol I need to get the 26.2 mile distance under my belt again (twice, actually) before I even CONSIDER a further distance. I think the next in line would be a 50K...about 31 miles. But I am in NO RUSH right now. lol

28 hours 51 minutes and my friend is DONE WITH HIS 100 MILER! Incredible. But I have to admit, that running out there on the trail, experiencing just a PART of that event with him...I'm intrigued. It's so minimalist, so basic and simple. The trail had very few people stationed/working...

OK, so I'm back before anybody else posted. What's up with THAT? :D I hope you ladies are enjoying a nice weekend! I ended up being able to get my 18 miles in with my Ultra 100-miler friend. I caught him just as he was finishing his first 16 mile loop so I joined him for his 2nd 16 mile...

Terina, I name all my most beloved fitness equipment. Eddy is my 'tready'. Ken is my 15# kettlebell. Gunther is my running Garmin. LOL They are affectionately named after I get intimate with them. ;) Once I have a feel for their personality, I give them a name that just fits. lol Call...
