    Nike+ Human Race 10k... anyone?

    Is anyone planning on doing the Nike+ Human Race? You can do it wherever you are, or in one of the 25 cities where they'll be hosting actual races. Sounds pretty neat - all you need is your iPod Nano and the Nike+ sensor. (You don't need Nike+ shoes to use the Nike+ system!) So, are we...

    FYI - Enhanced Text Editing

    I know at least one person was wondering how to get pretty text with the new forums... the good news is that it's MUCH easier with the new forums than it was on the old forums. You just have to change your forum options to enable fancy text editing. Here's how you do this: 1. Go to User CP...

    Holy Cannoli! (Yet another CC Vol8 thread)

    I just finished doing CC Vol 8 for the first time. [font color=red size=+2]O M G[/font] That's all I have to say. :P Okay, I guess I can say more than that. It was deliciously evil. II do my CC workouts on the treadmill, and hills on the treadmill are the bane of my existence...

    This is pretty cool! Custom radio...

    Anyone ever use pandora.com? This is pretty sweet - you type in the name of your favorite artist or song or composer, and it creates a "custom radio station" just for you. Oh, and it's FREE! Gotta love that. Great way to get through a long, boring work day. :)

    Back pain - OUCH!!!

    I'm hoping someone here has some exerptise, information, advice, something. I hurt my back this morning. I really don't know how I did it. I've never had this kind of back pain before. I was doing Drill Max cardio, and I was on the cardio cycle where you're holding the stability ball and...

    Let's play a game... Three Word Story!

    Okay, I'm totally bouncing off the walls and going crazy waiting for RT registration, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Let's help each other pass the time. Here's how we play: We are going to build a story, and each person can only write 3 words at a time. So it could go something like...

    Well *sigh* I tried....

    ...and I DID IT!!!! :D :D :D Did I fool ya? ;) It was a GREAT run - the weather was absolutely perfect, the course was flat, and I felt great! I couldn't have asked for a better first post-injury race. I came in around 34:03, which is quite a bit better than my predicted 12 minute mile...

    Would you run a race....

    ...if you knew there was a good chance you'd finish LAST? I posted earlier this week about how I signed up for a 5k that is tomorrow, and I'm really excited about it because it will be my first race (heck, my first RUN) in a long time. But I was just now looking at the race results for...

    I'm so excited! And NERVOUS!

    I know the runners here will appreciate my enthusiasm. I just registered for a 5k race that is THIS SATURDAY. Okay, no big deal, right? I've run a marathon, for goodness sake! A little ol' 5k should be nothing. But this is my first race since dealing with my awful sciatica / piriformis...

    heeheee! I just impressed the UPS man!

    Don't you just love being a strong Catheite? The UPS man just delivered my 2 30 lb dumbbells. He rang the bell and I opened the door and he was like "These are pretty heavy, do you want me to bring them in?" and I said "Oh, those are my new dumbbells - I'll get 'em!" And I picked each one up...

    Dear Sick Coworker...

    Please take your sniffling, coughing, feverish @ss home and keep your germs the he!! away from me. You are not being a hero by coming in to work when you clearly are knocking on death's door. All you are doing is spreading your plague around so that the rest of us will become sick and...

    LOST fans - a theory (to end all theories???)

    I posted this in last week's discussion, but it kind of got lost in the shuffle. I thought this deserved its own post. It's a rather lengthy explanation, but WOW. It's really intriguing. There seem to be a few things that don't quite add up, but I think it could really be on the right track...

    Lost - 02/14/08 (spoilers!)

    Alright, Lost fans - what did we think of last night's episode? This was an interesting one - Sayid is an interesting character. Some things we learned last night: Sayid is one of the Oceanic Six (I think we know 4 of the 6 now? Jack, Kate, Hurley and now Sayid) Ben will also survive...

    It's very dark without power....

    No real point to this post other than to whine about the fact that my power is out (our cable modem and wireless router are on a battery backup, which, with my luck, will probably die right as I try to post this). :P It's really windy and I'm guessing there's a power line down somewhere...
