    A "good" blow dryer?

    Thanks to whoever ordered with the $25 rebate!!!! I just got an email saying my rebate is being processed. Sweet!!!!! The reviews said that shipping was super quick, so I'm going crazy waiting for it to arrive -hopefully soon. I've never been excited about a hair dryer - feel sort of silly. :)

    scale addiction....

    I can "gain" 4-5# the day after a really hard workout. Of course, it's not real permanent weight I've gained, it's all fluid retention. When I'm training hard I weigh every day to gauge how well I'm recovering and to see if I need an early recovery week (combined with other metrics like resting...

    A "good" blow dryer?

    Oy. I wasn't even in the market for a new blowdryer, but I *am* growing out my hair and always looking for ways to keep it looking good and healthy. So, I couldn't resist the link Cathe provided to the HANAair, which got INCREDIBLE reviews. If anyone else pulls the trigger, if you use this...

    seated good mornings

    I can't like this post enough..... :) BTW, how do you do your walking lunges? That must be with a barbell, yes? My goal this year is to really heavy up my legs to get them in great shape, and I LOVE walking lunges. My plan is to use my weighted vest (it goes up to 75#) - start at 25# and work...

    Xtrain and horizontal conditioning

    What you could possibly do is use one of Cathe's rotations as a starting point, and sub any of the HC workouts for SuperCuts. That, I think, is a no-brainer sub. Or you could likely come up with a schedule that is longer than 7 days to accommodate a 3-day split plus a full body workout - so take...

    When friends disappoint you

    DING DING DING!!!!!! This was absolutely my first thought reading your post - not that your friends were jerks, but that you didn't ask them for anything! If you wanted help, you should have asked for help. People are busy. They have crap going on too. If you usually are a rock star and get...

    FB question

    Aaaaaaah - gotcha! I completely understand. :)

    FB question

    You don't need two separate accounts to accomplish this. You can create separate friend lists, and just view the news feeds from those particular lists, one at a time. So you can have your BJ list and your Beader list. :)

    Advice on cold weather running gear needed

    This. If you are hot when you are running, you are wearing too much! You should be downright cold when you start. By the time you get warmed up, you'll be fine. If you aren't cold to start, you'll be too hot very quickly. I've read (and follow this myself) to dress as if it's about 20 degrees...

    Re: Scuba Divers?

    I live in the Boston area, so I got a dry suit immediately. I'm sort of opposed to the whole notion of vacation only diving, so I had to make sure I could dive comfortably year round! I get antsy if I go more than a few weeks between dives (and it's been a few weeks with the holiday busyness...

    Re: Scuba Divers?

    YES, YES, YES! I got certified last February, all my pool work was done in mid-January. I am a huge junkie and dove a LOT all year round, even in cold New England waters where I live. In fact, I think I'll be out this weekend with my local dive club (the land temp will be in the mid-30's, water...

    When did Running Bras Get so expensive?

    25 wash limit? Seriously???? How are you washing them? Delicate cycle, hang to dry. Some of my favorite workout gear I've had for YEARS, countless washes, and they are like new. I don't have the equipment to require something called the ta-ta tamer, but while I love my more expensive running...

    Spinervals and Brenda

    Ummm. No. Hardcore 100 is a 3-disc product. Comes in a single case, 3 discs. And it is volume 26.0 as specified by the OP - you are getting the correct one tsagona!

    That's the one!

    Spinervals and Brenda

    She's in the Hardcore 100 workout, I don't know about any others. Don't be afraid of the description. While in theory yes, it's a 5.5 hour workout simulating a 100 mile ride, it's got VERY natural breaks to make this extremely versatile. I've used this DVD a lot over the years but have yet to do...

    great product for kettlebell users

    You can also use ankle high athletic socks - cut off the foot part, and use the top bit as a sleeve to protect your hand. Free. :) Although I like the pink camo they have on the site.......

    OT: Roomate issues - help!

    Nothing you say will actually impact his behavior, and all you will do is screw up your relationship. I would just not participate in "common" food and leave it at that. If it makes you feel any "better," as many others have mentioned, this isn't, unfortunately, an uncommon problem. So you...

    New Hair Style?

    I had long hair for a long time, and finally got up the nerve to go short a number of years ago (my sister had super short hair and it looked fabulous on her, but I was nervous for a long time about doing it). I LOVED it short!!!!! It was fun, extremely stylish, and just fantastic. I got a TON...
