I am staying wherever IronColl tells me we are staying! She has told me the name of the hotel, I can't remember it though. I think it has an animal in the name.

I sure hope she doesn't get annoyed at me and say "Well, WE are staying here. You go sleep in the car!" :)

irongirl - simmer a small pot of water on the stove. When my house is dry I do this. If you add cloves, it has the added bonus of smelling nice :)

I have my running clinic tonight, and the instuctor said he reserved the pool so that those of us who do not want to run outside can go water ...

I got registered at about 11:45! I had the same problem with the "Registration" button not appearing until about 9:45. So it only took me two hours. It gave me a confirmation #, but I haven't gotten my confirmation email yet. I'm doing this on a laptop with an aircard connection, too! Fast like dial...

sure the bra is cute, but does it actually provide any support?

Sorry, I am just bitter towards Victoria's Secret. I have looked in their catalouge, and only 2 of their bras come in my size. The ugly, plain ones. Big girls should get pretty bras too!

I didn't really have a running hero. Then I watched Ironman Canada last August, cheering on IronColl. Every time I have a bad run now, I picture those triathletes running, walking, weaving and staggering their way towards the finish lines. The girl we passed after the fireworks had gone off who was ...

I just tried on lululemon's untimate mini today, and am sorry to say it did nothing for me. It cut off in the wrong spot on my thighs, making them look super fat (or highlighting the existing fat?), and the shorts underneath were too short (the fat on my thighs would have rubbed together while runni...

I read someplace that black tea actually curbs your appetite and can help you lose weight. I drink one giant mug of English Breakfast tea in the morning, black, no sugar. I then drink 1-2 litres of water during the day (depends on how busy I am at work and how often I am near my water bottle). I try...

ah yes, I need something a bit more aggressive :) I am finding, though, that I am wearing my bounce breaker all the time because it is so comfy. And purple! I might need to go buy more of them...

I am very well endowed, and got the Bounce Breaker from lululemon. My sister in law, who is less endowed, swears by their Marathon bra (unfortunately, it was not enough support for me). The bounce breaker does exactly what it says, and is so comfy I want to wear it all the time. Plus, it is pretty p...

I don't eat regular breakfast cereals because I am lactose intolerant, and taking a lactaid just to have a bowl of cereal seems like such a waste (I save them for ice cream). I like Red River cereal.

Running has improved my confidence, and even though I am a larger girl, I feel alot sexier since I started running.

This isn't on lulu's website, but they also have a Bounce Breaker bra, which is more supportive than the one posted on the 1st page of this thread. I bought it in purple, and ran in it today. it works! And I have alot of bounce to break. I also picked up one of the Plie skirts, which layers over sho...
