L2C - Wow! Congrats. How did Tuesday go? Three more days until the 29th - bonne chance!

Hello All !!! I feel as though I'm coming in at the 23rd hour here, but August was a complete write-off for me, and I felt so bad I couldn't be here to boost you a little. My excuses include: A business trip to Utah (oh man... do I have stories, but we won't go there) - at least I had access to...

Great job Jane! Keep it up and the posting.  I'm still here for accountability, but I've had some major family matters to take care of ~ not to worry though... all is good.  I finally found my blasted Pilates DVDs so i'm really stoked about that. I used to do extensive soccer training for...

THANKS! L2C THANKS! I'm going for the 2K walk and run tomorrow.  I'll time it and report back. Kick that 15min threshold girl!

I never thought I'd see the day where pain would not allow me to function properly. The weather here has been playing havoc on my fingers, wrists, elbows, and knees. The ibuprofen :skull: is not kicking in, and I am at a loss with keeping up.  I shall return mightier than ever when I return...

Hey Y'all - WOW - thanks for the encouragement... I wasn't expecting that, because my goal was to be here for you guys. That being said, I cranked out the bike today in this heat and left the gears at one speed (I have no idea which one) that gave me enough resistance.  Along the way I happened...

"NO PAIN, NO GAIN" Who ever invented that phrase had to be in the Army! (ha! any history buffs out there? - no, I'm not trying to divert attention from the matters at hand ~ really!) I was afraid to post yesterday because I took the day off.  I can't walk (wimp), so I'm doing stretching, and...

PMedMoe - Thanks for the push-up tip and link.  Man, was I doing them wrong!  Still got to 10, but sure felt the difference. A friend mentioned to try and do three reps in a row with a 3min wait in between to gain strength, but if anyone thinks something else works better, pls advise.  Thx...

Hi everyone who reads here... I just wanted to share this article with you from the Sunday, July 13, 2008 Era Banner because I'm not sure if you get to see support articles as often as you should.  I see a lot of heart warming stories all over Facebook which makes me feel proud to know there are...

Awesome Job today!!  Nothing like pushing it to the limit, and keeping on track. Yeah, sorry about the swimming tips... like you and the running tips with me (haha).  But that's ok because you reminded me about the phone pole thing, which I used to do in jogs and sprints when I WAS in shape. ...

Awesome start Jane~Doe! I don't have a gym to work on fancy equipment, so I'll have to head outdoors.  I've clocked some kms with the car so I know I'm going to start the running with a fast walk just to start, then pace it up from there. I'm going to keep it at 5km and work on my speed. I'm...

Hey Jane~Doe! CONGRATULATIONS on taking this step to enhance YOU for the rest of your life. I will match your efforts, even though I'm not in the military.  I'm on the sidelines cheerleading (LOL), so I will follow your progress and try to give you as much encouragement as possible. Just...

Gentlemen, sorry for the intrusion, as I am new here (only 14hours) and could not resist adding just a touch of female perspective here.  I hope you don't mind if I post on this one.  I was laughing so hard, I cried  :crybaby: There were so many fabulous threads I wanted to add to, however...
