    My First 5K Run

    Thanks everyone. I ran in high school but it's been many, many years since then! lol I kept telling myself that as soon as this (yesterday's) race was done, I'm going back to doing more aerobics; I miss my "step". There's a race Memorial Day weekend that I'm checking into; especially...

    My First 5K Run

    Hi everyone, I don't post much but do read the forums frequently. I can't believe I did it but I trained "faithfully" for 8 weeks and ran my first 5K yesterday at the RiverBank Run in Grand Rapids, MI with a chip time of 25 minutes:40 seconds. I couldn't believe the thousands of people...

    Just Wonderful!!!! = (

    Wow, I had the same exact thing happen to me the end of March. I go to bed with my car intact and the next morning, while trying to load my bags in the car to go to the airport, I couldn't open the passenger side door. The whole front corner was damaged ($2,000 worth!). Luckily, I was still...

    I had Lasik done!

    I had Lasik done 3 years ago and is the best thing ever; especially with all of the sports I play. The doctor had a bit of a hard time getting the suction on my right eye (it was just a little uncomfortable) but other than that, everything went very well. I do use one eye drop in each eye...

    Any inline skaters?

    I love to inline skate. In fact, I went out yesterday for only 9 miles but there was a relatively strong wind. It felt great. Plus, I went country dancing last night from 7:30-12:30 a.m with only a few breaks. No wonder my legs and feet were tired & sore today. Grand Rapids has really...

    gotta get an MRI

    I had an MRI done last year and was given Xanax to relax. It wasn't bad at all because I was given an eye mask and listened to country music. Plus, I had to go at 1:30 a.m., so I was tired anyway. Patti

    I've been officially accepted!

    I just wanted to say "Congratulations!". I've been told by my friends/cousins who are nurses that with a BSN (4 year degree), there was actually more paperwork and/or giving reports/speeches in front of class; whereas, the 2 year nursing program at the community college was more "hands-on"...

    Hypothyroidism

    I have hypothryroidism; actually since age 3, and have taken a daily synthroid tablet since then. I'm 34 now. I've always had a high metabolism but I think diet (as someone else said) is the key to controlling weight plus working out. Patti

    physical trainner

    I just wanted to say that I talked to an instructor last week and she had gotten her certification through ACE and AFAA. She stated; however, that with AFAA, they more or less "rehearsed/practiced" in the morning (receiving helpful hints of what to do or not to do for the practical portion) and...
