Congrats Robyn with the new job!!

Happy Tuesday everyone, Well, I did it. Went to my first spinning class yesterday evening. I liked it. My HR was between 151-180 and I burned 358 cals in 45min. I didn't go all out cause 1) I did a 17K run yesterday which always taxes my bad knee, 2) I had no idea what to expect during class...

Thanks everyone for your help. I disabled norton and tried again. No luck. I hadn't thought about Spybot though. I'll try that tonight. Maybe I should also disable ZoneAlarm? A colleague (from the IT dep.) suggested today I should reset my computer with system repair to the settings of a...

Hi Shelley, any serious DOMS? It was really hard getting up at 5AM after a week off. I've done CTX-UB and I'll have my first spinning class tonight. Hope I like it :-) Re: computer network, according to a colleague I should check for spyware and reset my computer to the settings of a...

I don't think you need gels for a 1/2 marathon if you're properly fueled before running. I never used them (longest run was approx. 21K) and never felt I needed it. But that's just my opinion. And like I said before, I eat a good breakfast before a long run and bring half a banana along...

I use them all the time. They work for me.

LB endurance for me is a w/o like L&G or MM-legs, PP-legs. To be honest, I couldn't run on toast and a banana by itself. I always have a good breakfast: usually oatmeal, something with complex carbs to sustain me for a few hours. I usually run within 90min-2hrs after breakfast. And I have...

G'afternoon all, I'm back, but without a network.... Still working on the problem. Shelley, MIC+MIS?! WOW. It is a gorgeous day for running: 2C, bright blue skies, sun felt warm on my face. Time to get the sunblock out again. I went out this morning and did a great 17K (about...

Hi Laura, I'm in no way an experienced runner like Carole and others on this forum but I'm in training for a 1/2 marathon so I'll try. I don't do any (hard) leg work on the day before my long run. I do a tempo run once a week and a playful fartlek. And a shorter easy run. I prefer to do...

If there are any experts out there, here's a question I hope you can answer. I'm trying to set up a network for internet only between three computers (mine and my kids's). So I connected the router. I installed the wireless USB adapters on my kids's computers without any problems. Now I want...

Goooood Afternoon Tammy, Katy, Gayle and everyone else. I'm about to install a network. If you don't hear from me for several days then it is safe to assume I'm dwelling in my own personal network nightmare :+ Anyways, did a absolutely great 7K run this morning and will do a leg workout...

I get blisters on the sides of my toes in Summer. I just use lots of petroleum jelly when the first blister arrives and the problem is gone. In Winter I have no problems with blisters at all. I can also get these special "band aids" for blisters. They're kind of thick and cushioning and you...

For me, they're both equally hard. But with ME I tend to go heavier when I find things getting easy, with MM, I don't want to go to heavy (ie I use only 4KG dbs for the chest flys), I prefer to simply double the w/o. Can't give a specific reason for that. The second time it's harder, and I...

Goooood Morning everyone, How's everyone? I'm really sorry that I can't keep up with all your posts right now. After walking the doggies (Spike is back to his old self after being neutered last Monday) I had coffee and studied a bit (well, I was more daydreaming then studying ;-))...

I love them. I have them all and have put them on my MP3 player too to run outside. I've actually put them all together, so it's one very long run ;-) Coach Sean motivates you to push yourself instead of staying in your comfort zone (which I tend to do) and when I'm on the treadmill time flies.

Hi everyone, Sorry to have been MIA lately. I had to fight off this sinus inflammation with some antibiotics. Yes, we're a sickly little bunch ;-) AND my kids are hogging my computer again. I have to solve this problem by either setting up a network so everyone has access to the internet...

quick quick post. did a 7.5K run yesterday plus MM-legs. Haven't done anything today, yet. Doc says I have an inflammation on the left side of my face, don't know what it's called in English, has to do with my cold. Am taking antibiotics now. Should be over soon. Back to work.

Oh Carole, enjoy your special day, and tomorrow... Congrats,

I agree with Carole, a bit more LB training might strengthen your legs. And personally, I wouldn't do extra cardio on my running days. My schedule looks something like this: Mon: total body with emphasis on LB Tue: 30min Imax (1,2 or 3) plus at least 45min other cardio (I'llsub with a 4th...

GOOOOD morning ladies, No workout today, cause yesterday was race day. OK, here’s the story: Saturday night I was convinced my body was telling me not to start. Why else would my feet slip down the stairs on Friday, skipping at least two steps. It really wasn’t because I was running...
