Hey girls, today and tomorrow are rest days for me. I have moved them to Tuesdays and Wednesdays because I have early morning staff meetings on those days. Hope you all had good workouts today.

Katrina, what type of Librarian are you? I am an Elementary School Librarian. In Kansas you must have a BA in teaching and graduate hours in Library Media for certification. Because I am really more of a teacher I opted to get my M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction instead of a MLS...

Wow, some of you don't start school until tomorrow? I have had students since August 15th. I bet we get a ton of new kids tomorrow. I work at a Title One School (high poverty) and kids tend to move in and move out a lot. I a not feeling so great. At first I thought it was just allergies...

Yep guys, I am Natalie I am also known as fitlibrarian at Firm Ya-Ya's. Susan great job on your 8.5. If you find out the nutrition thing let me know. I just did Body Max and while sitting here ate three almond roca candies. I told myself I deserved it, isn't that kind of dumb? OK, who...

Guys, I am jacked! My 1/2 is in 21 days! I have my "bib" hanging up so I can see it every day. I am #75. I have my shirt hanging up in my bedroom so I can see it every day too. The sponsor of the 1/2 has a last name that is very similar to mine so my last name is "kind of" on the front. It...

6.5 miles with my running partner. It has been a month since we have gotten to run together. Today I got new running shoes. I have always bought my shoes at JC Penney's or Kohls on sale. Today I went to First Gear which is a running store in Wichita. They looked at my feet and my old pair...

I did high step training this morning. Can you say "Leg Presses"? Reminds me of a Firm workout. Anyway it was a good one. Running late as always. I really am more social than my posts indicate. Have great workouts ladies, Natalie

Hello everyone, I guess I need to start bringing my laptop home because someone is always on the computer. I have set our house up for wireless access. Need to make this quick because someone needs the computer. I ran 6 miles today. Hopefully I can check in tomorrowl.

I could only run 4.6 miles this morning due to time. Back to school sucks. I will still do my long runs on the weekends. I now know that training for a 1/2 is very difficult if you are a busy working Mom. I am going to try to keep my T and TH runs at 5-6 miles and hopefully will be ok in 30...

endorphinejunkie you asked some good questions about pre-race eating. I don't have any answers except that I avoid all alchol the night before. I really don't drink that often but sometimes on the weekends I might have one or two. I also try to make a "pasta" based meal for the family. If I...

Hello ladies, Today I began my 5 mile run on my treadmill. I felt like a rat in a cage so after a mile I went outside. Something about the "feel" of an outdoor run that you can't get inside. After 2 miles I returned home and did another treaded mile on the treadmill, and again had to go...

Barb & Barbara my running partners name is Barbara. When she can't run with me I put a Saint Barbara medal on my shoe. We are both Catholic. I also have a Saint Sebestain Medal on my shoe too. He is the patron saint of athletes. I can't wait to get to know all of you. You would think...

Morning Cheetahs, I did it! I actually got up at 5:30 and got my workout in. I did High Step Circuit. It generally takes me the first two weeks of school to get used to getting up at 6:00 and going to bed at 10:00. I am taking Tylenol PM again on school nights. My Dr. says this is OK, but...

Jess I am VERY impressed with your Half Marathon. Mine is in 34 days. I have told my students that I will run it under 2:30. Maybe my next one can be under 2:00 just like you. I ran 8 miles this morning and did not need to stop at the half way point to use the bathroom. My last 1.5...

My Half Marathon is is 35 days. I have built up to the 12 mile point. On Saturdays that my running partner (a VERY busy mother of 8) can not run with me my husband bikes along side me. :) I love him for that!! Anyway I think our family will go to church tonight and I will run my 8 miles...

Hi everyone I think I will join your checkin. I have not run since last Sunday. I did 12 miles. This has been the first week back to school. I am an Elementary School Librarian in a Title One School. Needless to say it is stressful and the first week or two are hard on me and my sleep. I...

I am 6 weeks away from running a 1/2 Marathon. Is their a checkin for runners here. I want to be involved with a runners/cathe checkin that would welcome me. I might have been in one earlier this summer. I can no longer get into my checkin on another forum. Thanks, fitkansaschick, aka...

Can I join you? I am about 5 weeks away from a 10K. My running partner and I ran 6 miles on Saturday and I did 4.41 miles this morning. The time change really messed with me. I am a slow runner about a 10 minute mile. We are thinking about speed training to build up our speed.

I used to be able to at cathe.com be able to see the breakdowns for each workout by chapter. Did this disappear? I specifically want to see these chapters in order for Bootcamp.

Question for Ausmish? What DVD does Step & Intervals come from? It is listed as a 6.94 (listed first) under the area of Interval Cardio. Thanks, Natalie
