    iPhone ?

    If someone asked me to chose between my Cathe DVDs and my iPhone, I'd have to sit down and think... And honestly, I'd probably pick the iPhone. I LOVE mine!

    What's your stage name?

    Hmmm, I don't know... Mine are definitely porn star names... If I take my very first cat who I only had a few weeks and don't remember very well (he ran away) I'd be: Crackerjacks Randy But, it gets worse if I take the cat I grew up with Bootsie Randy (Or officially Puss in Boots...

    HOT PICS THREAD post your hot pics here!

    Again - a man with a voice can turn my head - he might be a skinny little guy, but he has a huge voice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqY-gbj3MNc

    Got my TIMESAVER DVD

    Hmmm, I prefer men who have incredible sexy voices: Yeah - no one knows him but you should - he's Jackie Greene - www.jackiegreene.com (and I no I don't personally know him either, but man he has a voice.) And I do have a comment to the OP. Last time I checked, both Mexicans AND Canadians...

    Broken Step Top

    I got my step when my daughter was about 4 months old. She's 16 and a half now, so I've had it for over 16 years. I DO do high impact on it, and I'm not lightweight at 5'10. So, if it's an original Step - I would write them demanding an explanation. Those things are pricey (although if mine...

    Running burns more calories than Cathe? Seriously?

    Oh absolutely - a nice steady state run gets my heart rate much higher for a longer time than Cathe's workouts do. I can burn more calories on a hilly bike ride, too (I'm in California - we have a lot of up around here).

    Calling Vegetarians

    Denise - I'm going to preface this with saying that I am not vegetarian, but I do try to eat a lot more vegetables and a lot less meat. So with my family I deal with that issue a lot. What I do is figure out a base menu for myself, then add to it for the ones who want meat. The easy one is...

    Lifting heavier=hungrier?

    If I lift heavy I am STARVED all the time. Even the endurance training I did on my bike for my last event did not make me as hungry as lifting heavy does. What's ironic is I know people who get hungry from cardio and not from weights. I think it's a very individual thing. I do find that if...

    Ride report (andtckrtoo) Long!

    Sorry to start yet ANOTHER thread on this, but I wanted to provide the full report. Here it is (and as always with me - it's wordy!) Ride Report - LiveStrong San Jose 100 miles I felt strong going in to this ride, although I did not get as much sleep as I hoped which seems to be the norm for...

    Good luck, Christine (andtckrtoo)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm exhausted! But, I did it! I completed all 100 miles. It was tough - there was a strong head wind the last 50 miles (except for the big hill, which was really nice!). I'm showered and dressed and feeling good now. I'll write a much longer report later - but I wanted everyone to know I...

    Good luck, Christine (andtckrtoo)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm sitting here sipping tea, about ready to eat breakfast. I'm just going to take it one water station at a time - there are 8 and the longest distance between them is 16 miles. Surely I can ride 16 miles. :P Thanks for the cheering section all! I'm going to be thinking of y'all on the ride.

    I need advice on Dogs

    Read everything you can on huskies starting here - http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/siberianhusky.htm Not to be a downer, but Huskies can be quite a handful. They were bred to run long distances and to think for themselves. They are trainable, but they will question everything you ask of them - no...

    What I learned (warning, long!)

    In exactly three days I will be embarking on a 100 mile bike ride in support of the LiveStrong Foundation. I did the 50 miler last year, and loved the event so much that I thought I would try for the 100 miler this year. Training for such an event has been terrifying, exhilarating, and down...

    Cardio Coach V7!!!

    I used CC7 to train for my century ride this weekend (100 miles). I crank up the resistance on the 3 minutes hard and don't let my hr drop below 125 (my max is 170) on the 3 minutes at level 2. Then I crank it back up on the hill/sprint combos. It helped me become a much better cyclist and to...

    Talk about insanity .....

    I KNOW Carola! That's why Jimmy looks like a walking furball who sheds fur as he walks right now. But I have to get him groomed. At least I only have one. :eek:
