I just wanted to wish everyone, who is competing tomorrow, the best of luck. I know some of my friends are running. I know they’ll do great. My family and I are off to a little horse show. My 8 and 10 year old boys will be showing for the first [...]

O.K. my half is done, time to set some new goals. I would like to conquer my hand to mouth disease. I am 5′7″ and weigh 148. At my leanest and meanest the best I could get was 135 for about a month. I was teaching aerobics, living single, and eating [...]

This morning I woke up, and felt like I was trying to get sick again. Scratchy throat, achey all over, feeling a little funny in my sides. Crap! I took today off, but I hate doing this. I know it’s not much, but I’ve gained about 3 lbs., just since I [...]

I’ve worked all year, to get back into shape, for this half on Oct 5th. Along the way, I’ve tried to impress my husband with past race times, while complaining a bit, about how slow I am now. His answer was always, “Well that was 7 years ago. You were younger then. [...]

Today I tried to run…I gave up after about a mile. Yesterday, I ran a good 5 miles, watered my garden, went to the lake, cooked breakfast for about 20 people, loaded all the toys and hauled them from the motorhome to the beach, got ready to do some boating, when my youngest says [...]

I was just wondering if you could elborate on the protien supplements. I recently revamped my eating habits. I cut out all the simple sugars and caffiene, and was trying to eat 25 grams of protien per meal (3 a day) with a complex carb. I was using protien powder at breakfast [...]

I’m working on running a half marathon again. I was very fit about a 7 years ago. Been hanging in there barely. Trying to get back and struggling. I can’t believe the amount of strenght I’ve lost and how hard it is getting it back. Somedays I pick up my [...]
