    Question for SAHMs

    I have not read any of the responses...sorry! But to answer your question...NO, I have never once, not even for a brief moment, regretted my decision to stay home with the kids. Either way, it is hard. It's hard (in some ways) to stay home and it is hard (in other ways) to stay at work...

    heart rate

    I think Judy may be onto something with the shoes. My shins always burn when I need new shoes and ache well after my run. Do you track how many miles you have on your shoes? Also, do you have a few pairs to rotate throughout the week? I have been told that you shouldn't use the same shoes 2...

    Need advice--new to running

    I wouldn't do 2 running days in a row. I am training for marathon #5 right now and if I run 2 days in a row, I can **feel** it...so I avoid it as much as possible! And yes, it means getting up at 5 a.m. some mornings to **beat the heat** and make it back home to the kids so DH can head out to...

    Question about mirrors

    Do you have a Garden Ridge near you? They have a big selection and their prices are pretty darn good. The bulk of them may have decorative frames, though. It all depends on what look you are going for. I have found that strategic positioning of mirrors to be very helpful in my strength and...

    tanning?

    I won't tan! Love the way it looks, hate the near gaurantee of cancer! Yes, my skin looks fantastic with color but it just doesn't make any sense to me to do something that is so harmful! When I head out doors, I use a suncreen and reapply often. Also, for color, I use the Loreal self...

    Strength Training -- is it okay....?

    I wouldn't do the same workout/same muscles again. Why only 60%? Maybe you were tired...a cue that you may need a bit more rest/recovery...which is the opposite of what you are considering. Remember...the **exercise** part is not what makes us stronger, it is the RECOVERY part that does...

    FINALLY Some "After" Pictures

    RE: FINALLY Some Yeah, I took my pictures off. I freaked out after that person was busted using a little girls gymnastic photo claiming to be that girl. I was actually thinking of asking DH to take some new ones this weekend but I know my tail will still be between my legs about posting them!!!

    more presale questions

    I think the best price on the presale is all within a few days. I think the price starts creaping up pretty quick. The best part about ordering early in the presale is you get your dvd's sooner. See, they ship them in the order that the orders were received. So, if I am the 1753rd person...

    Question for those who have done a presale before

    Personally...and THIS IS JUST ME...I bank on 12 months. So far, it has always been sooner but that way my heart isn't set on having them during a specific season so i can do other training. Unforseen things happen...and they will happen. Last series, Cathe had to put everything on hold due...

    skin issues

    I rarely get body breakouts but use Neutrogena Body Clear also...put it on my shower puff. I use it because I sweat so much and use sunscreen so often...keeps the pores clean. For my face, I kept getting painful breakouts...just a few, but I constantly had one or two I was trying to get rid...

    joint pain from running?

    A track or treadmill is an excellent idea! Also, make sure you do not increase your mileage too much! Running is very hard on the body (MD's don't recommend it:7 ). It takes some time for your skelatal system to adjust and get stronger. I know when I started outside running, it took...

    Judy, I misunderstood...they are not printing a 3rd Edition (to my knowledge). They are reprinting the 2nd Edition of "Training For Endurance", that is what the back order is for. I just revised mine today. I ordered it last Friday (7 days ago). It was $12.95+$5.00 shipping.

    Phil's book is currently being reprinted. The one that WAS out there was the 2nd edition. The 3rd is being reprinted. I ordered the latest last week and I think it will be here today. I heard of Phil Maffetone through my husband...aka my "coach". He is extremely fascinated with the...

    Laura, Heat will make a huge spike in your HR. That is why I get up at 5 a.m. on Thursday mornings so I can run before DH leaves for work (stay w/ the kids). That way, I can get 10 miles in nice and slow...and fasted! If I wait until after he works then it is 95 degrees and it will take me...

    Sorry Ladies, just seeing this. Yesterday was my baby boy's birthday so I wasn't online. To Laura and Judy...the only way to know what your true aerobic zone is to go get a V02 Max test. I think some gyms offer these tests but they are expensive. The gym by me costs $150 for the test...

    best running sneakers for knee/joint support?

    A reputable specialty store is the way to go! They should offer a 30 day *no questions* return policy. In other words, try them for a month and if they don't work, return/exchange, whatever you want! Let us know what you get!
