    I love REI

    What has been helping me a lot on the mountains that have some steep areas is doint the treadmill w/ an incline. I work up to 4% during my workout. My treadmill goes to 12%, but that is insane.}( Look into the local state parks in your area (if you haven't already).

    Are you scared to...

    I will be 36 on November 3rd. I never minded telling people my age. The only problem I've ever had is w/in myself knowing that I wasted so many years not taking care of myself physically. But, now that I am taking care of myself I feel peppier (is that even a word?) than I have in a long time.:)

    Mats for a treadmill?

    I have mine on a mat. Don't have the box anymore and can't recall the name. I put it down so the treadmill wouldn't ruin the carpet in any way. It shouldn't be too loud. Mine isn't.

    Need personnel advice on sensitive issue

    Just be glad you got rid of her. Her attire was more suited for a secretary at a construction company. Does she not know that wearing pants that tight brings on infections?

    No Non-diet Soda in Schools...

    I have even used straight Coca Cola to clean the battery acid off the cables. Trust me it works. That in itself is too scary. I wonder what other sodas can do that? I'm glad I am working on cutting my soda intake out completely. I have been grabbing water or decaf tea lately. I went from 64 oz's...
