Congratulations! I just finished a marathon this morning and let me tell you, if you can do 20, you can do 26.2. Enjoy the taper! Charlene

I trained so hard for this, and today was a blast. I feel so good! I finished strong too -- I was expecting to finish in 5 hours maybe -- but get this -- 4 hours, 00 minutes and 33 seconds. I never ran that fast in my training runs! I had the adrenaline going or something because I completely...

I was teaching a cardio and weights class last night and we were doing lunges. After working the right side, we shook out our legs a little and got ready to do the left side. And before I could stop myself, this just popped out of my mouth: "What you do to one side, you do to the other." OMG! I...

I just got that e-mail too. :)

My rotation for July has included workouts from Cathe's Terminator DVD. The time really flies on these workouts and I feel really spent afterwards. The best part is when I go to a BBQ later that day and my hubby brags to the neighbors -- "my wife works out -- she did the Terminator this...

I've pretty much been into fitness my whole life -- I think it began when I was in ballet in kindergarten -- it was about the same time as the "20 Minute workout" was on TV -- remember the 80's? :) I remember they wore leotards and tights like I wore to ballet... It just grew from there. During...

I'm doing my yoga video (Bryan Kest's original Power Yoga tonight), and I work hard and get to my relaxation pose, when I get this tickle in my nose and go into a sneezing fit. It's always something during the final relaxation -- the phone rings, the cat knocks over a lamp, or my butt just...

I saw the swimming trials last night. Dara Torres made it to the Olympics at 41! She is my inspiration. And of course, the swimmers have the arms to die for! Charlene

I saw Jammin in New York on HBO when I was in middle school. It was about the first Gulf War in 1990 -- you can watch that today and it's still relevant. George was the best. There will never be another like him. Here's my favorite -- about the airlines... "They tell you to get on the plane...

Ditto on the soda can thing... I'll get the DISLIKES out of the way first -- either he doesn't listen or is just selectively deaf... I asked him to power wash our picnic tables to get them ready for my daughter's birthday party. He just heard "power-wash" and spent 3 hours spraying the...

I'll have an actual hangover the next day. My body is not used to it and I end up sick. For me it's better to just enjoy smaller indulgences every now and then, instead of an actual cheat day. Charlene

I left my job too at the beginning of this month. I had had enough of my boss and my job and I wanted to spend more time with my daughter. I am a little worried about finances -- especially with the economy the way it is -- but I have never been happier. You'll make it and it will end up being...

Step Jump and Pump -- there's not enough time to grab your weights before she starts a set. Stretch Max -- that was just boring for me

Hey folks -- We got back from Disneyland Saturday night. My daughter had the time of her life, and just seeing her smile and laugh makes me cry with joy. We had the best time! We had pictures taken with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Pluto, Ariel, Jasmine, Cinderella, and...

California Adventure has Playhouse Disney Live and that's what Megan wants to see -- almost as much as the Disney Princesses. She's 3 -- not quite a toddler, but close enough that she'll probably enjoy both the toddler-age stuff and the school-age stuff. Of course, if I had to pick one park...

Ha! I just finished the bi's and tri's workout and I heard the laugh. Perfect! THat's exactly how I was feeling! :) Charlene

RE: husband is calling my muscles unsexy... told me to ... Did you tell your DH to take a long walk off a short pier???

We leave for our vacation Saturday morning! We're actually driving to Sea-Tac Friday night and staying in a hotel to catch a 7:30am plane Sat morning. I'm trying to get my 4 day split rotation completed this week, between packing, shopping for the last minute stuff and dodging all those...

Mega Step Blast is only on VHS -- Maybe that's what you meant I keep asking for a re-issue of some classics over on the "Suggestions for Next Video" board. Go bump it everyone!!!! :) Charlene

I've heard about this stuff happening way too much! Where is this guy's heart? Don't these jerks realize that these are God's creatures and members of your family. I am crying for you -- I don't know how I would react if I was in your situation. There is way too much of this in the world. If...
