    Carola- I applaud you for gathering as much information as you can before making a treatment decision. I wish you all the best and keep us posted. (((hugs))) BTW running or run/walking 10 miles so soon after surgery is just amazing!

    Cheetahs: Post Race Monday

    Linda- I stayed cold ( frozen toes!) until mile 3 was completed. I did not feel sweaty like I did in my other cold outdoor runs. As soon as we stopped, we were freezing again and apparently I did sweat because my clothes were on the wet side. Walking the 4 blocks to Starbucks in wet...

    Never thought i could!

    Shelly- I believe doing Imax3 on an 8 inch step IS an accomplishment even if you are tall! (especially if you learned it on a 6 inch step)

    *Cheetahs* Inauguration Tuesday

    Wendi- I do hope your foot is not severe. I found step workouts even more aggravating than running. Ice and NSAI do help. Wendy- I see your point . But if you consider Carole's training, then I would have to disagree. She has done some great weight work, and reached goal weight during...

    *Cheetahs* Inauguration Tuesday

    Wendy- You probably just have on winter/holiday temporary weight. Do you normally loose in spring anyway? Why do you think you will gain more with marathon training? (Just curious)

    *Cheetahs* Inauguration Tuesday

    Wendy- I just read your post. Why don't you go to the meeting and tell yourself you are just gathering information. Then, If you are not getting the itch to jump into training, fagettit. Maybe a different race is more your style.

    •• CHEETAHS •• Ahhh, Saturday!!!

    Wendy- I am no expert, but my preference would be to do 4 runs as you proposed. For me, adding, mileage is easier that way. Hmmm, have fun tonight I'm sure you will. ;) I am willing to bet DH won't mind if you make a purchase or three. Laura- LOL at your comment about wishing for a TM...
