I just don't get why it is considered "news" Really? yes, really... Much more important things to consider these days than an adult who did something of her own choosing and just happens to be somewhat well known to certain groups of people. Why her story needs to be deemed newsworthy rig...

I just don't get why it is considered "news"

So here is what I have done so far... - 4 Sugar pies (made a month ago, I got a deal on the main ingredient, whipping cream) – in the freezer, ready to be enjoyed! - 1 Batch of Graham-Chocolate Chip squares – simple recipe attached below. I substituted the semi-sweet chocolate chips for semi-sweet ...

, but squats are probably the most poorly performed exercise in any gym (with bench press a close 2nd). I can whole completely agree on both of these... I find that men have the most problems with squats, simply because of the lack of proper hip involvement. Most guys (mostly due to mobility issues...

wow.. first mention ever of the 5K race that was cancelled..

Aside from the email that |I got on the Wednesday before saying it was cancelled..

I'm definitely doing that - my toes were so "light" that I almost fell backward! 65 done today: 2x25, 1x15 I can't find my Theraband, so I'm going to buy another today. you need to distribute your weight through your arches as well.. think about "flat feet" if that makes sense? ...

There are two distinctly different "camps" on the depth of squats. Before I learned proper form, balance and correction of muscle imbalance, I was of the DO NOT GO BELOW 90 camp... Below 90, when done properly is not hard on your knees. I have PF and have never had a knee issue from squats...

Ooo, just saw this. We call them prisoner squats, harder to go deep, but definitely keeps you honest!

Yes, they are prisoner squats, didn't feel the need to label them though.

It is hard to describe verbally... but I will give you some of the cues I use with clients. Stand with your feet hip width or slightly wider apart. Too narrow and you are torquing your knees. Weight is distributed from arch back. Do not go forward on your toes. Push your hips BACK. Think dirty publi...

Superstore carries Manitoba Hemp products in their Organics section.

Good call on Rev3 Mark! I had totally forgotten about it. I am considering a Rev3 myself. One of my co-workers has done a Rev3 as a pro, and has nothing but good to say about how the series is run. The 20 hour drive does open up a lot for you. Crowd support at B2B is not over the top, I will admit t...

Does it have to be IM Branded? If not, the need to travel to register and the number of options really opens up for you. Beach2Battleship is an awesome USAT event. November, North Carolina. Swim is set up to usually be tide assisted (I am a weak swimmer and had a 32 minute half IM swim!). Bike is re...

It depends - if I get my new oven, it will be snicker doodles, linzer cookies, and peppermint meringues for Christmas baking. If not, it will be whatever Lena's Italian Bakery has available! Could you share your peppermint meringue recipe, please? I'll need to check the amounts at home tonight, but...

Hatori is a nice shoe as is the Kinvara.

I am loving Nike these days (Free, LunarLons).

I ran in my Vibrams once, about 3 years ago... ended up with knots the size of a golfball in each calf. THAT was not fun.

It's a shame that the guy that runs this website didn't happen to see you in NYC. He would have snapped you for sure.

with or without the PB sandwich? That IS the question we all want the answer to!

I agree with Jen, and all 4 times Jo asked. ;) Really... on other forums people are getting booted for rehashing this stuff over and over again. How many threads need to have THE EXACT SAME information in them. This one will not go any differently than those. You know that theory of doing the exact ...

And.. just a note, you can get just replacement bottles if your belt is in good shape/still fits.

I know that we can (and I have ordered for customers) sets of replacement bottles from the fuel belt distributor.

Today would be a great idea to plan out your race day uniform.

Now your text makes more sense... Heck, I am trying to figure out what to wear for the 5K on Saturday! Do I go all "Canada" or will that even be noticeable?

It is a "suggestion" that you not carry fluids. Not a rule, so I would say that you will be OK Hezzy...

I have done this race 4 or 5 times and have never ever seen anyone have their water taken away.

For those that have run this before, have you carried your own water etc.? The website suggests that you don't because of the bridge/tunnel crossing. I have run with a fuel belt (half) as well as hand held (marathon). I have never had any issues with the border crossings carrying my own water. They...

With this forecast you never know! looks perfect for laying down your best or at least having fun. Seems like it's either really hot or really cold :lol: but I'm happier for this.

I love this race as well... have done the half 3 times and my first (well sort of) full. Awesome course!

Good luck and enjoy your first!

Come say "Hi" when you pick up your timing chip...

And if I miss you then.. See you at aid station 3/4!

Told Peggy that this is my last year to volunteer as I need to run this again next year. (as much as I love volunteering)
