A good friend turned 40 today. She is a runner who inspires many of her friends to run. She is the kind of friend who is always there no matter what, with exactly what you need. A group of us gathered and met her on her morning run at 7:30 this morning to surprise her. We ran with pink...

The new book by Bob Greene says that you should take a multi every day, extra calcium (if you don't get enough) and add an Omega-3 supplement. For those of you who take it, how much do you take? What are the benefits? If you don't take it, why not? TIA, Jenn

There is a "Cardio Stride Plus Treadmill" 3 position incline with LCD display on sale at K-Mart this week for $89. Is this a total piece of junk or worth it? I need a tradmill for the days when I am too tired or not enough time for a full Cathe workout, or sometimes for add-on cardio. I...

Our beloved Cathe forum keeps track of the number of posts where we actually contribute...but what if there was a record of the number of posts that you have READ? Mine would be a HUGE number, I am sure. I am a huge lurker and then I come out for awhile and then head back to lurkdom, but...
