I'm waiting until Monday... I was going to do it today but got the flu shot last night and my arm feels super heavy/ weak. I should be ready to go on Monday! :p

I remember you had dealt w/ AT before. I just want it to go away and NOT come back this time. I will keep up the stretching and elliptical for now and gradually work back in the running. How are you? All recovered from Chicago? My Doctor ran it and he said it was awesome!

I feel the same way and I'm only 31! :o I've really gotten diligent about stretching and yoga, even though I find it boring I know it's good for me! Good luck w/ your PT exercises too!

Hi Sue! I'm sorry to hear about the surgery, I have also dealt w/ Plantar Fasciitis while traininig for a marathon 2 yrs ago. I also found that step was a problem for me, I haven't done it in a while. When I was doing step it's no more than 2x a week and no more than 6" step. So what did...

No problem! Let me know if you try it out!

I've been dealing w/ AT for the last 3 years or so, since my first half marathon. It will go away for a while, then seems to come back. It came back with a vengeance about a month ago (hill running!!). Well, I finally went to Physical Therapy this week and got an AWESOME stretch for it so I...

I'm setting my clock to squeal with you... 2:45 on Thursday... CHECK! ;)

You go girl!! Beware... pullups are addictive! :p

It's ridiculous, the whole housing situation! :confused: I'm thankful for my smaller house and smaller house payment!! We had thought about trying to get a bigger house in the near future, but for now we're staying put! ;)

You can do it, Wendy!! You are a tough chic! ;)

Yep, it is a cool name! ;) Jess is just quicker to type! I feel like when I get Jessica, it means I'm in trouble! Yeah, they figure the carb cals as 200, but it might be a little less. 1/2 cup of oatmeal is a serving, but that's only 150 cals. I love MFP, that's what I use to log my food...

That is so exciting!! I got to meet Emily last month at a race and she is SOOO sweet and adorable!! (and so is her dh!) Have fun and share some pictures!

Hi Sue and welcome to the Cathe forums! The program that you are talking about is Chalene Extreme and it is supposed to be released in November. I have an email list of ladies here that are interested in the progfram. If you want to email me, I'll keep you posted on when it will be released...

Thanks, Suz! I did CCPP last month running outdoors w/ a lot of hills and I think that was the start of my achilles tendonitis again... it's been a recurring problem. So... the elliptical it is! And w/ the PT, I should be back to running AND not have the AT return!!! :D

Thanks, Michele! The PT has really helped this week and I'm feeling better already!! She said I could probably try to run again next week!! I'm just trying to be patient... NOT my strong suit!! :p I don't have the room (or money) for an elliptical, but I go to the Y to swim so I use the...

Oh, and BTW, I can't tell you how many times my brothers would call me Messy Jessy growing up!! :p

Hi Jess! Are you sure you're adding in all of the portions? Feel free to post your menu or email it to me and I'll see if I can help! Good luck as you get started!

That's great news, Michele!! I'm happy to hear that! I will try to join in, but I'll be doing the elliptical this time. I've been dealing with what I have found out is achilles tendonitis so I'm going to PT til next week to heal up. At least I am cleared for the elliptical still!!!! :p

WTG Lori!! You did great!! Oh, and I hate people like that... I had people this summer ask me about the triathlons- how far the distances are, etc. 1/4 mile swim (oh, that's not so far), 24.8 mile bike (maybe I could do that), and 5K run (how far is that again? Oh, *only* 3.1 miles... SMACK...

LOL My dh did GS legs w/ me (my version w/ Tony's pullups inbetween each set) and he only made it through a little over 1/2 of it and he had DOMS for 3 days in his calves!!!! :p Gotta love that!
