Carol... I had lost track on what interval I was on and just went by the tones. When I had been running for so long -- and just about dying in the process, good 'ol Steveboy came on to say it was done... so I had run through the cool down! So the next run I made sure I knew how many intervals I had and I counted them down so when that last interval came on I just kept walking. Good luck!

Mac... I noticed on your ticker that you are so close to your goal weight! Congrats!

We haven't been talking much about the Nike+ challenge lately, kind of fizzelled I think for some of us... but the team challenge ended yesterday. Here's the results! Sorry for this Whosya... but the Hotties won!!!! Small victory, as it took about 5 of us to just 1 Whosya!!! Seriously, congrats to everyone!

There is only one challenge left ... maybe we need to start another one.

I'm near my goal, but I think I won't lose this week. Sigh.

I finally got my Nike+, but I was not sure how to get in on the challenges. I would love to participate - any extra motivation is good for me!

Ok... let's start another challenge... any suggestions? Teams or individual. I personally like the shorter challenges, like maybe two weeks, especially since the other one is a longer term challenge.

Let me know your thoughts and then PM me your email address and I'll set one up to start tomorrow!!

DH and I ran yesterday together. We did the race route for our April 5th 5k that we're running. OMG... it's hilly!!! I usually run in my neighbourhood or at another park and neither have many hills. This route seemed to be up and down constently! I'm going to have to train a bit on this one, more than just running distances. Plus, the race usually has about 2000 people (not all doing 5k, some do 10k and some do 1/2), but the path is rather narrow, so I can imagine its going to get a bit bunched up, and its an out and back, so being slower than most, I'm going to see all the fast people go by me and its probably going to get a bit tight! Ohhh I'm nervous on this one.

Hey everyone. I am on the 3rd day of the P90X and let me just say, it is kick butt hard. I am not goign to join the current challenge. Until I get used to this P90X thing I won't even be walking unless I have to. LOL It really isn't that bad. I really like it, but I am sore in places I didn't even know I had. I think it is good though..

I PM'd Geogia Girl to check on her. She wanted me to let all of you know that her little boy has been sick and now she is sick. She will be posting again as soon as she is feeling better. I pray that's real soon.

You guys rock!! Have a great week!!

Renewed... thanks for the update on Georgia. I was getting concerned! WTG on the PX thingy!!! I don't know what it is, but sounds challenging.

I hope the weather is as nice everywhere else as its been here! Sunny, dry and warming up. I went for a nice run yesterday in the park. So many people out doing the same... it was excellent. We took the kids with us and DH started off running and then took over the kids and I went for my run.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
