    Looking for a good 15-20 min Pilates Ab Video...

    MTV Pilates Mix is great. It's got two workouts and has the ability to mix and match. I got mine at Borders and I think it's available on Amazon.com.

    Your First Big Rock Concert?

    The first concert I went to was Dr. Hook And the Medicine Show who opened for Three Dog Night. I had to have been in the 9th grade so it was 1974 or 75. I've been to many many more since then but my memories of that one are pretty clear.:D

    Long distance runners-Dani and Carole

    Dani, do you read Runner's World? I've been hearing things about over hydration (hyponatremia) lately and there's a good article about it in the October issue. I looked for it on the website but didn't see it there. Small women and those finishing a marathon in more than 4 hours are more...

    question about lucky jeans' sizing

    Elaine, I don't think the lowered peanut is similar to the easy rider. I have both and the lowered peanut are definately a snugger fit. I've seen them advertised as a slim fit and I would agree with that although it is a comfortable slim fit! I love the easy rider. They are so comfortable...

    My 20 mile Trail Race

    Carole, I am impressed with your running ability! Way to go! I'm glad you didn't sprain your ankle. That happened to my friend/running partner last year and she was sidelined for alot longer than she liked. I picked up a trail running magazine (can't remember the name of it) a few weeks...

    Good luck Dani!

    If I remember correctly, you'll be running 18 miles this weekend. Just wanted to wish you good luck. I've got 14 scheduled for Sunday and 20 next weekend. I'll think of you while I'm out there sending prayers your way! Have fun :-)

    Why?

    Don't believe everything you see on the news is how the story is actually playing out. I've seen and read twisted accounts of three different news stories where I had first hand knowledge of the real situation. I find that you often have to dig around yourself to find out the real story. It...

    Anyone familiar with ADD?

    I have to agree that it does sound a bit like Asperger's Syndrome. My 14 year old son has it and some of what you describe sounds like what we deal with on a daily basis. As far as my son goes, he has an IEP at school that will follow him through college so he'll get the support he needs...

    Are you related to anyone famous?

    Oh yeah! I almost forgot. My friend and running partner was a bride's maid in Valerie Bertinelli and Eddy Van Halen's wedding! Of course we're not related but it's the closest brush with fame I can offer!

    playboy

    This reminds me of that Sex In The City episode where Samantha tried dating a much older man. She got one look at his wrinkly, saggy butt and changed her mind. Some people will do anything for money. You know what they say about the love of money.....

    Cathe Girls Are The Best!!

    As far as monetary donations go any amount that a person is able to give helps. And I do mean any amount. I was involved in fundraising for cancer research and the $1 and $5 donations added up quickly. Since gaining that insight I only pass by a fundraiser without giving when I don't have any...

    Question for homeschooling moms or preschool teachers

    Thanks so much for this reply! My daughter will be 4 in a couple of weeks and I have no intention of putting her in preschool. I get lots of weird looks and comments like "Children who go to preschool are more successful than those that don't." I work part time and she goes to day care for...

    Part 2: How do you divide your stregth training?

    I do freestyle for legs 4 times a week right now while I'm training for a marathon. After that I'll up it to 6. I like the results I'm getting much better than lifting heavy for lower body. I've been doing the GS upper body workouts 4 days a week putting two days between. For instance I...

    To all the runners: I need your suggestions and tips...

    From Runner's World: "The Carbs Rule: For a few days before a long race emphasize carbohydrates in your diet. Carblo-loading became the marathoner's mantra after Scandinavian studies in 1967 suggested cramming down carbs following a period of carb depletion produced super-charged...

    Dani21496

    Dani, When is the marathon that you are running going to be and what is the distance of your long run up to? Does the Hal Higdon schedule have your longest long run more than 20 miles? Or is it that he has you doing two 20 milers? Just curious. I ran 18 this morning and only have two...

    Can I look like Cathe doing her vids?

    I read the question as "Can I look as good as Cathe by doing just Cathe's workouts?" Take a look at Sarah/Imafitnessfreak's picture trail. Then check out Charlotte/Toastythemosty's. Look at Carole's profile picture. And don't forget about Pinky. I'm sure there are others here that I've not...
