Can't really help out with your question as I don't have many of the weights videos, however from one Josie to another - a very warm welcome to you!

Thank you Cathe and Ladies for all the responses. I'm not new to weight training. I usually go to the gym, but I'm looking for tapes to do at home. That way I have no excuse not to do it
Carole, I'm just coming back from an injury also, I was supposed to run the Tucson, AZ marathon in December and two months before that I pulled a calf muscle. What is your next goal?

Hi...yuk about your calf muscle. I tore mine a bit about 4 yrs ago, but 5 times of Physical Therapy sure helped! I have Achilles Tendonitis now. It just won't go away. But I am doing Nordic Track and Cathe's aerobics and it doesn't hurt then. My next goal, I'm not sure. I did my 1st 50K on trails Sep of 2002. I'd like to do another one, so maybe this coming Sept. Sorry you had to cancel the Tucson marathon.....Any goals for you?...Carole

RE: Josie
That's great. I know some friends that have done the Rock and Roll marathon. I might just make that one year. I love Rock and Roll music. I would think that spinning, yoga and the elliptical machine would keep you in good shape. What I have found about weights,is I truly believe they help prevent injuries. Upper body lifting seems to benefit during the last few miles of a marathon or longer run when you get tired. Lower body can help build emdurance in your legs too. How many marathons have you done?......Carole

I I lived at Mariners Village for 10 years and then we bought a house in Westchester near LMU and have been there for 3 years. I love the area and since I work at UCLA, it is very convenient for my work and my running. There is going to be a Marathon in Malibu in December, you should try and do that one.

RE: Josie
I am familiar with all those places you mentioned. I just needed to get away from the city. Always loved camping up here with my family. We all live here now...which is very nice. A Malibu Marathon, that would be cool. I will think about it if this injury goes away...My sister wants to do the Western Hemishpere which is in Culver City and also in Dec. But 4 times around a 6.5 mile course.....BORING!!......thanks for the info....Carole
