Re: Happy Monday Valentine's Day!
I just got back from a great weekend in the Bahamas with my valentine. Only ran one time but we played Tennis and Volleyball a LOT.
Tonight it is back to the TM for at least 3km since he is off again away for biz.

Re: Running in Punta Cana
Also very glad to see a post from you. As with everyone your family has been on my mind. I just got back from Punta Cana last week. It gets hot early there so if you run before 9am you should be ok or after 7pm - other then that it is too brutally hot. Your resort was given rave reviews from those a...

Re: Snowshoeing
I really like Snow Shoeing but have never done a race - (Hey JoJo weren't you supposed to hook me up? lol) but for what it's worth you use muscles in snow shoeing you didn't know you had and it is definitely a sweat - so like said above wear layers - be prepared to remove. I like the pole idea for s...

Re: Smilies Sunday!! :)
TM for me today - took my new puppy out for a wee walk and she put her paws up on my legs and looked at me like "mummy are you nuts" and made this wimpering pick me the heck up sound. So much for that.

Re: Newbie Runner ? - indoor treadmill training vs. outside ?

When I am outside because I don't have a garmin or any tracking device I have no idea but I try to keep a decent pace. It will be interesting to see the pace set t...

Re: Boston Marathon qualifying articles
I didn't know you could use a Q time twice if it was a fall marathon. They should dump this one, for sure. I'm using my Chicago 2009 time this year because it's the best of my 3 times and will give me the best start but I didn't run last year; if I did, I don't think it would have been fair for me ...
