I just wanted to pop in and say that I will never ever buy a Dell laptop for personal use. I use them at work and I'm on my 5th laptop in 2 years. They are not well made. I've used Sony, Toshibas, and IBM's with no issues, but these Dell's have major challenges. Sounds like you got a good...

Which workout did you end up doing? I'm always looking for a good spin workout.

I'm with the majority here. If you could not ride 6 miles without your sit bones hurting, it's your saddle and all the padded shorts in the world won't help. I also agree to skip the gel seat pads. So, what to do? Get a different saddle. On the Team Estrogen Forums there are a lot of...

You mentioned my century ride. One thing I did do when I was training distance was to text my husband and daughter every 15/20 miles or so (every hour or so - if you're running), so they would have a point of reference if I did not check in. I would text something like - at the top of Kings...

Deb - oh yeah - Eoin Finn's Yoga for Happiness. He has a hip opening segment that is so good for runners (and he's pretty yummy - although he does make some interesting comments). Good luck!! I've done two halfs, numerous 10milers and 10k's. Now I'm into cycling. Go figure. :P But it's...

I run and ride (mountain/road) with a cell phone (and I do usually have one ear bud in and the music on a low volume). I've done search and rescue, though, so I'm a little more cautious than most, but I do strongly recommend doing the following: 1. Let someone know when you are leaving and...

You'll get as many different responses for this as people who have run half marathons. These are my guidelines and what worked for me - you'll have to figure out what works for you. I kept my weight training fairly consistant through the first month and a half of training. I did my usual leg...

Yes, I downloaded it yesterday and it locked my phone. :P I do know that that was more a product of my lousy work computer than anything with the software. i took it to the Apple Store and they fixed it.

Heard this story on the news this morning, and it made me cry in a good way. I thought I'd share: http://cbs5.com/local/girl.feeds.hungry.2.1108890.html 5-Year-Old SF Girl Fundraises To Feed Hungry She's only in...

One of the girls I know walked a marathon. She did it with Team In Training and really enjoyed the experience. A trail marathon sounds like a great one to walk. Just make sure that any time limits are doable. And remember that by adding distance, you will be going slower. It's just the way...

No, not offended. :P I just posted two credible news sources, so I was a little surprised that someone did not believe them, but then again, as Apple has never had this issue, I understand. It's been all over the news this morning and will probably be tonight, too.

Just to reiterate - this is NOT a sensationalist story.... Nor would I post something without check in out. According to ElleJay's article: Note: Due to some recent commenting on MacFixIt, I feel compelled to assure you that this is not a sensationalist story. This is a real security...

There's a security flaw in the iPhones. Evidently, there is a way for hackers to take over your phone and there is no patch. If you get a text message that is just a square, turn off your phone. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/23/technology/23iphone.html and...

I used to mountain bike at 3PM in El Paso, Texas. It was 105 degrees (okay, so it was not humid, and that did help). But it's getting used to the heat, going slowly, and drinking lots and lots of water. Especially your first few times, go slower than normal. Pick easier trails. It's doable...

Ironically, I moved from Maryland to California. I only moved because my fiance lived out here, and it was easier for me to move than for him (we're married now). Do know that the cost of living in Columbia will be pretty close to that of Sacramento. The Bay Area is more expensive, but...

WAY TO GO!!! It's a major accomplishment at any age. Go enjoy the fruits of your labor!!

Another Bay Area girl here (there are a lot of us). I've lived a lot of places, though - Born and raised in Lancaster, PA (no, I'm not Amish - :P - you'd be surprised at how often I get that one!) Went to Bowling Green State U in Ohio Moved to State College, PA (home of the Penn State...

For a chuckle - "The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without shocking the entire community"- Ann Strong, Minneapolis tribune, 1895 My all time favorite, which I bring up every time I start...

THey've been interviewed and she's a dancer. When he popped the question, she asked him what he thought and he was all for it. They do seem like a happy couple. Although I have to admit I could think of infinite ways to use this to embarrass their kids in the future :rolleyes:

I'm very sorry to hear about your mom!! Losing a parent is very, very tough. I lost my mom a few years back. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.
