Welcome Carol!! I'm glad you decided to finally post! I think we have all come to LOVE running and we have wonderful support here. We all kinda feed off of one another for inspiration and motivation. You are doing FANTASTIC!! Good luck with your 5K next Sat. Be sure and let us know how it goes!

Hahaha! No complaints from me. I may actually have a chance at winning if I'm on your team, lol. Count me in!! I sure hope he feels better soon. Burns scare me too. Let us know what the doctor says.

I went to the gym this morning and ran. I ran 3 miles straight....YIPEE!! I don't think I've done that since Thanksgiving!

Today- 4.2 miles on the treadmill (ran 3 miles straight and walked the rest)

Lyn..I looked up red wine on the daily plate and here's the nutritional info red wine Serving Size: 4 oz; Calories: 85, Total Fat: 0g, Carbs: 2g, Protein: 0g

Lyn...I've always heard that red wine was the best for you. I don't have anything to back it up. That's just what I've always heard. Sounds like you are having a blast!

1.5 hours of strength training- arms, legs, and abs

Kathy....Darn it! I was hoping you took the day off, lol. Just kidding :thumbup: I didn't run today. I decided to take ya'lls advice and do strength training. My legs felt like butter when I left the gym, lol. I'm predicting I'll be very sore. I plan to run tomorrow if I can lift my legs. :biggrin: Kathy, you always have the best NSV's!

Thanks Whosya. That was a good article.

Renewed...I'm so sorry Dylan got burned. Poor fellow...hope he feels better soon. Whosya...I must admit, I'm one of those women who worry about lifting weights. I've always been on the muscular side (even when I wasn't overweight). My tennis coach in college asked me if I lifted weights and I told him no, I didn't. He pretty much said it was impossible for a girl to have as much muscle as me and not lift weights. I worked out a lot, but I didn't lift weights. I do have a hormone imbalance, so I always figured that was why I was muscular. I don't know, I always felt self-conscious about it. Anyway, that's why I don't do a lot of weight lifting. I do some every now and then, but not regularly.

DH and I were wondering the same thing. At first I thought I missed it, but I hit rewind and still didn't see him or his partner do the temptation. In fact, it really didn't show Dan very much at all this episode.

Renewed...even if you don't win the challenge, you're a running hero to all of here on this thread. You rock girlie!

Hahaha...DH says I'm not allowed to run outside anymore, lol. I think it will be a little while before I attempt that again. Clumbsiness runs in my family... Great NSV Kathy!! Must feel absolutely fabulous! Welcome back, we missed you!

Today- 3.4 mile run/walk

I CAN RUN AGAIN!!!! YIPPEE!! I ran yesterday and today and my ankle is still doing fine. I am still wearing my wrap and it's working great! I'm so happy to be running again!!!

UUUGGGGHHHH! Why?? I'm not fond of EITHER silver team member! They both annoy the crap out of me!!

Today- 3.3 mile run/walk, 15 minutes of arm strength training

Renewed....I hear ya! I didn't lose any weight last week. I'm sure a big part of that had to do with not being able to exercise, but none the less, my ticker didn't move. Congrats on acknowleging the problem and doing something about it! I'll be your support if you'll be mine. Let's get it together and finish this! I have managed to stay on track yesterday and so far today. Let's strive for a BIG weight loss next week!! I'll be praying for you on Monday. Will you be put under for this? Is it at the doctor's office or at the hospital?

Hi guys! My ankle feels much better today. I actually did a 2 mile walk on the treadmill today! YAY! It's good to be moving again! Renewed....I know it's gonna be hard, but take a rest girlie! You probably just overdid it! You don't want to risk an injury though, so take it easy for a couple of days. Feel better soon.

Hey guys! The doctor's office is closed today, so I didn't go. My ankle feels A LOT better today though. I even went to the gym and walked on the treadmill this morning. I'm still wearing my ankle wrap and it seems to be giving me a lot of support. I'm sooooo excited it is feeling better. My mom suggested that I soak it in hot water with epsom salt, so I did that last night. I'm not sure if that's why it's better today or not, but I'm gonna keep doing it. I can't run yet, but I'm gonna log my walk in the nike+ challenge. Hope everyone is having a great day!

I'm kinda regretting not having an x-ray done. It's even more bruised now than it was a few days ago. The swelling is continuing to go down, but I still have to be very careful when I'm walking. I'm debating on whether or not to go on to the doctor tomorrow...

Congrats MacMadame for completing the program!! That's wonderful!!

I don't think I could live where it's THAT cold, lol. It's supposed to get to down to 19 degrees here tonight and that is MAJOR cold here, lol. Heck, the 30's are major cold here! I sure can't imagine running in it! Kudos to ya'll...

Yikes! Sorry luluc. I hope it heals soon. I'm right there with you. I'm tired of watching from the sidelines.

LOL. A friend of mine said the same thing! Cool! I'll PM you my email address. When is the challenge starting?
