Re: Endorphin discussion

I'm also the runner, who if I don't run for about 3 - 4 days, I really am so crabby that people have been known to hand me my running shoes (so obviously those endorphins are still playing some role or something is!!!) S5 I think here lies your answer. It's not so much you don't "feel the rush...

Re: WARNING for Ottawa women

Crazy to think this sort of think could/would happen in broad daylight. I hope she's ok, Marg. Sorry you have to be so far away when something so tragic has happened to your close friend. Sick ba$tard!

Re: Back to Work Tuesday

Gym workout early this morning. 2 miles on the elliptical plus 5K on the skate machine. Followed that up with some good old fashioned stretching, taking my time to get it done properly, then did a few light arm/chest weights. It's snowing lightly here and although it's very pretty, it seems to be ca...

Re: St. Lucia Monday!

It was a gong-show at the gym this morning (read: I was late and gave myself approximately 45 seconds to set up for a weights class in a full studio), so I tagged along with Neil for a run around the neighbourhood (read: slowed him down; talked his ear off). Okay. You can do whatever you want on th...

Re: 2011 here we come! SATURDAY thread!

Started 2011 off with a bang and headed to the gym for the first time in 3 weeks. It's GOT to be a good sign - when I stepped on the scale at the gym before my workout and I'd actually LOST WEIGHT since the last time I was there. Down BELOW my target goal already! :dance: Obviously not too much deba...
