WOOOOHOOOO Colleen! I'm excited for you. Jes- ditto on excited for you, I may come to cheer even!

Just for the record, I have fallen multiple times while running and Jes was nowhere nearby :D Congrats Jes on registering for the marathon. Ditto! Tweaked my shoulder pretty good once too...ouch! Couldn't lift my arm for a couple of days! Already starting to get lower back/hip pain :( I bought a co...

AWESOME!! I knew you had a fast 10k in you, and I suspect that sub 60 is just around the corner for you!!

DH and I always play this game near the end of the summer. We think back to the 'best meal of the summer'. DH actually thinks I may have come up with the 'best meal of the summer' last night with a simple five ingredient meal. Heirloom tomatoes (variety) chopped Garlic Olive oil Roast on 200 for a l...

Ok, day 2 of concussion is not fun. I have a crazy headache still, and DH went back to work today (he took a sick day yesterday to help me with the kids and since I was not supposed to be alone yesterday). :( if you are worried that you have a concussion and still have a headache I would go to the ...

Lightning, I think I may have left a $20 bill in your wallet last time I saw you. Could you please mail it to me? :wink: Ok, day 2 of concussion is not fun. I have a crazy headache still, and DH went back to work today (he took a sick day yesterday to help me with the kids and since I was not suppos...

I honestly can't think of anything to say other than AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! I bow down to you, hot momma (of 5 or so!).

Just have to say how impressed I am with all the running and procreating (haha!) going on here! Now for a 'too klutzy for my own good" moment: I have a concussion from... get this... feeding the baby at night! :lol: I went to lie down after feeding her and totally hit my head (hard!) on the nig...

Hip hip hooray for all the Hot Racing Mamas! Wow, wow, wow. And for the Hot Race-Ready Mamas (SHG, AndyM, who else did I miss?) cranking out the mega-mileage. As for the #2 peer pressure, I actually sort of felt the opposite. Maybe this is just the peculiar bias of academia, but by in large I've be...

p.s. offers of watching babies for Keg dates expire February 2012.

Bah, you won't watch an infant and a toddler for me?? And I thought we were friends!

But, humans are the only species that drinks other species' milk, and the only species that has adults drinking milk. :? see I don't really get that argument. Don't drink milk if you don't want but I find that a thin excuse. Basically so? Some research has shown that adults drinking milk may have h...

Poor V :( I hope it just goes away, Gavin had a cough for awhile at about 1 yo and they prescribed a puffer, but we didn't need it, thank goodness. Colleen (IC)- wooooohoooo, awesome run!! Andy- ditto the above comment! I loved the park runs (when G was little), I found i had so much fun (and I ende...

I am IN! Not yet signed up, but will soon do so!

I made an easy 'invented' dinner tonight that looks delish and uses veggies from our local basket. 2 zuchinis- sliced 1 eggplant- sliced 2 cloves of garlic- minced olive oil diced tomatoes (2ish) mozerella (sliced) and parm (grated) cheese basil- ripped Layer lasagna pan with zuchini slices, drizzl...

by the way- if I hear "I want daddy to..." (instead of mommy) one more time in my house I am going to lose it. Actually, I already lost it, but that is allowing me time to myself while the kids and ever-fabulous-do-no-wrong daddy are at the park. See, you're catching on. It's not an insul...

Morning! I actually feel like I could run today (no knee or hip pain). Today is DHs soccer night so I don't actually get to run though. :( I am going to walk to the Dr's for Miss M's 4 month check-up, and hope I don't get thunderstormed on for the walk home. I also hope Miss M decides to actually li...

FP- I feel the same way (although I feel more like a hippo for some reason). Colleen- I haven't thought that. My stronger ('dominant') side is the one that hurts, does that make sense? Ann- I should do that, not sure hubby has coverage for that though. That reminds me as well, I have a bad ankle on ...

One running positive in the last week was that I was able to hold my goal half marathon pace for 12km. I didn't think I had it in my just yet and now I am leaning again towards racing a half in a couple of weeks. That is if I can get the "runs" sorted out. Regarding runs on the run (sorry...

You could preserve it by making cheese! [jwolf, former nursing-mom, runs for cover.... ;) ] LOL. :lol: I actually tried mixing it with cocoa powder to make chocolate milk for Gavin when he was sick a few months ago (he doesn't like it otherwise, although he still has a healthy boob obsession :lol: ...

All food is weird when you think about it too much. Drinking milk from another animal is weird. But I know you're also a locavore - is almond milk a better solution? Or sesame milk? No food is perfect - everything has tradeoffs. You do your best but no choice is without downsides. IMO feeding your ...

pts wrote: It actually came out of thinking while I was breastfeeding Marianne, it just seems odd to be drinking the milk (and eating the related products- cheese, yogurt etc) of another animal. Since you're still breast feeding, why don't you just supply all the milk for everyone? ;) [I honestly e...

I just asked my local health food store if they would stock hemp milk and they said they would give it a shot. So, that is next on the list to try. Coconut milk sounds yummy too, but I don't need the calories right now!

If you're not "using milk for nutrition" I guess it also depends on what your objection to cow's milk is. Canadian milk doesn't have growth hormone but you can also buy organic milk if you're worried about large-scale farming. If you don't want animal products at all, then those recommend...
