Way to go Trixiee!

I hope the weather holds out for you to get those last km's in!

I've been out running a few times, but not as much as I would like, it just doesn't seem to fit into our busy days.

Good luck QC!

I LOVED my Mommy Necklaces!! I wore them even when I wasn't nursing!

Ha. No, I didn't buy in enough - for a few reasons - I don't actually think I need to make drastic changes to my diet....and, I felt like I needed to overcompensate - so, I ate way too much cheese and nuts to make up for not having my comfort foods. :P I also don't eat enough fruits and veggies (and...

IB used to have some pretty extreme mood swings (I wouldn't have said depression), but, he did get to some pretty low points. It took me awhile to realize, but, after he started eating Paleo, those really low points have all but disappeared. He used to have quite a bit of added sugar in his diet, so...

Just dropped by to say I'm a Great Aunt three times now. My niece had baby number 3 yesterday. She has two boys (age 4 and 2.5) and was absolutely sure no. 3 was a boy. She had a girl and this time decided she didn't want to know the gender before. When Baby Girl (no name yet) was born she asked he...

First time running a half marathon, I thought I had an outside chance at 1:50 if everything went right.... It did: 1:48:53! Very happy, if a little sore. :dance: The siren song of the marathon is calling... I really really really want to, just don't know if I can realistically commit to the amount ...

What race are you training for? I assume it's 2 weeks away?

Yeah it's very personal- my bras with clasps don't feel as tight as my racerback ones. I normally don't mind them feeling tight- I'd rather them feel tight than feel the clasp! I am now a C... and who knows what I'll be when I'm nursing, hehehe (D????? Could it be?????) but I was a B before and hop...

Seems I have it all wrong!!! I am assuming that none of you wear just plain bra tops without clasps in the back. That would be my problem. I think a visit to a website is in order, then I will to in person. Any opinions on Moving Comfort bras? I've got 3 Fiona(??) Moving Comfort. I like them. I've ...

You know my email address.

do you get a weekly grocery list as well? (you might have mentioned that above...)

Now I'm :YMSICK: with the mental image of Turd's "hairy nether regions" (which, in my mind's eye, is a Hairy Ken doll...for mental health sake) My non-nether regions are also hairy if that helps ROFL :lol: :lol: :lol: it does, actually! I was roommates with a guy that was hairy ALL OVER! ...

oh, totally pull the bathing suit off. no need to bike and run with it on! I had actually misread your post above and thought you said to wear the tri shorts over the suit, which is what I did (because I had to) in May. Although I didn't wear shorts over the suit in the water. I'm actually leaning ...

You could always wear your bike shorts and sports bra WITH a bathing suit overtop - might look silly, but, it would do the trick. No one cares if you aren't in "bikini" shape though. (except for you, I guess). One word of caution - I find that sports bras drag in the water though - the fro...

I had no idea that you were the big shoe guy!

So...kids have to be 8 - why is that? You had me until I read that.

Thought some might find this interesting: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/07/10/how-pregnancy-changes-a-runners-body/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Can I just say - how awesome is it that there are people doing studies on pregnant runners?! :) :) :) Nothing in that article surpr...

Yes, Pat wanted to try bottles and he felt it was easier. I offered to pick up the beer for us, Michal and Dianne on my way home, as I go right by a beer store. I forgot till I walked in though about the feeling of totally being judged... as I said on FB there's nothing that makes you feel quite as...

Amazing!

And, when did your dd get to be 10 years old?

My favourite comment on the other forum that I'm on about this was that if she was training for a marathon (sic), she must be SUPER skinny so how did she not know!?

I had to burst that bubble.

I don't know, I think it could be pretty useful for poking people who won't get out of your way or poking runners who need a bit of incentive to speed up

or whacking rollerbladers that are on the course, right purdy?

It seems to me that the run/ walk would be difficult to keep an even pace for. I did that for the 2nd time I paced the PEC 1/2 and I was a minute slow. I find it a lot easier to lock into a pace and just keep plodding on. Mas Runner- about holding the sign high- I wanted to make sure it was visible...

Sports4 or Running Room is who I usually recommend for giving advice. Bushtakuh is probably cheapest.

interesting.....seems counter to the minimalist trend/research.....

Hey Mark, do you ever do an actual "pace" look - like like at the split times as well? The reason I ask is that I'll never forget hearing about a bunny that arrived at the finish line a good 3 minutes ahead and then ran back to help people in before their time....and then finished right a...
