Peg, I have always (and continue to) appreciated the positive way you approach life. You are an inspiration to me and a reminder to appreciate every moment of my life. Missed you! Rachel

Topic: RE: Running - Lara?

Hi Janie!! I'm dropping by for a visit - haven't been round these parts in quite awhile. If you're already able to run 4 miles - you're already running a mile beyond a 5K! The way I do it is I run 5 minutes, and walk 1 minute. Last Sunday I ran 10 miles like that (practice run for my 10 mile race in a week and a few days). If you find you can't quite run for 5 minutes yet - then run for 1 minute, and walk for a minute - do that for 30 mins every day for a week. Next week - run 2 minutes walk 1 minute for 30 minutes. Keep going every wee****il you're up to 5 and ones. Then you can start checking your distance. My guess is that you'll likely be really close to running a 5K by then. You can start kicking it up to 45 minutes a run - at 5 minutes run, one minute walk. You'll be good to go. And if you can't run every day - try getting in at least 4 runs a week. Best suggestion I can give is this: FIND RUNNERS IN YOUR AREA! =) I run with a local running store where they're awesome about helping figure out what shoes are good for your type of stride. Also great for support in learning how to run. Wishing you the best! ~Lara

Topic: RE: Updated Muscle Pics On My Profile

Wow, you look incredible, did you have any plastic surgery or is all that from body building. If it is I'm definetly going to have to start body building myself, maybe it would fill in some of the excess skin. Great job!!! Dianne
