Hi, Patty. I think what you saw must be a rerun...or maybe a regional competition. I did some research because I'm interested in the guy (Rich Froning) who's won the games for the past 3 years, an amazing feat. I checked his website, and he's now competing in a regional. In his region, he's won the two events that have take place (of 5 it looks like) and ranks 4th and 2nd world-wide in those events. Amazing.

Yes, it was Rich Froning...love him!! So that must be it. He's amazing, everyone was laughing at me yesterday trying to pretend I was training like him...haha!

As for today, lets just say my gf and I are beyond happy that we don't have to go tomorrow. I knew when I walked in today and saw one of the gals that works there and she was still dripping in sweat from the 6:30 work-out, it was a bad one. Then the PT started off with, "Good morning everyone, I hope you're awake because today's work-out is a beast". THAT'S what I needed after yesterday - NOT!

Started right out of the gate with a 3-minute treadmill push to 60-second all-outs to jump squats and plyo push-ups...GOOD MORNING TO US! LOL!

And no, I did not feel like the machine that I was yesterday, I pushed it, but it didn't feel good...soooo glad to have that one behind me.

Hi everyone! Today was a bust. I did do the treadclimber for 30 min. and the treadmill for .5 mi....hahaha. Hobbled to the chiro and my foot seems to be circling the runway so to speak. Not any better, but not worse either. The chiro wants me to walk more, but unless it is in a store, I am not going to gimp around like an old lady....such a strange injury.

Hi, all! Sorry about all the foot injuries. Yuck! Hope you girls feel better soon. Yesterday was busy busy. But I have HAD to take power naps both days. I got probably 3 hrs of sleep Sunday, and had a hard time falling asleep last night. This time change is kicking my rear!! I'm over it. Well, last night I was too tired and didn't feel like going out to the gym, so I did the Pilates machine for over 30 minutes and loved it. Tonight I did 15 mins on elliptical and spin class. Drenched. I pushed myself. Now, I'm just relaxing. Can't believe it's almost bedtime. I don't think I've ever been so messed up with the change. I'll be used to it.......and then it'll be time to change back. Lol! Can't we just move forward 30 minutes and leave it -- forever!! Ok, I need to get ready for bed. Work tmrw, then weights class and laundry. Don't everybody get too jealous all at once.

Hi to everybody, I'll be sure to check in after work tomorrow or the next. Check your email. Collage is going out of business - really going to miss them. Don't need any, so I ordered eight-

FUTURE, me too...it's 7 and it's still pitch dark out...bleck. I was up until 1 a.m. last night...I always have a hard time with this time change. Fall back just works better for me. After being up until 1, I didn't even hear dh's alarm go off at 5...it was like I was dreaming and normally I never wake up with an alarm, just get up on my own.

canine, so good to see you! I was wondering how long they could last with all the new programs, gyms, work-outs, etc.

MickD, what does your doctor say about your foot? Maybe you're going out too soon? I know it's hard, believe me, one reason why I'm in the pain that I am is because I overdid it for years and didn't take time off for injuries.

bopper, I'm sure you're a happy girl today.

nomless, Lucy was sooooo bad yesterday. I usually take her out for a couple of miles before I go to the gym. Well, I let her off the leash to run in the field and she started eating something...she wouldn't "COME" so I go over and she's eating black Goose poo that looked like tar!!! So I say, "BAD GIRL! COME ON, we're going home!" and she finds something else along the way and is eating it and won't "come" again...I run over and there is animal fur hanging out her mouth!!!! I had to pull it out! So nasty!

Zoe and her are complete opposites, Lucy looks like such a Diva but she is a Dirty Bird. There, I said it, she is. She loves dirt, poo, mud, grass, puddles, etc., you name it. She goes out of her way to walk in the mud, I"ve never seen anything like it! Zoe was so worried about keeping her paws clean when we walked...and then there's this one. LOL! She eats everything, chews everything, just doesn't have a care in the world. And we adore her.

Tony, where are ya? Judy....how's the walking?

You know, I'm not too sore...finally! I need today off from OTF but I'm not even as sore after 2 days as I have been after 1 so I'm getting there. This will be my first week of going 4 times if it works out!

Good morning ladies!

Woke up at 3:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. Too much stress and things to worry about so once I woke up, I couldn't quiet my mind back down again. Tossed and turned until about 4:30 and then made myself get up and go to the gym!

I did pretty good. Did 30 minutes on the Precor - almost 2.25 miles. Then did some reps on a weight machine for quads. I need to build up my quads slowly so that my knees don't bother me. One good thing that I've learned over the years is that my legs seem to respond very quickly to weight machines.

Now need to get ready for work. Hope everyone has a good Wednesday! Weekend is within sight now!

Patty, it's scary that Lucy will eat anything. Must be difficult to keep an eye on her.

I'm very sad that Collage is going out of business. Doesn't seem possible. I just ordered 12 dvds that have been on my wishlist forever. Now I understand why "Coming Soon" hadn't been updated for the past few weeks.

You have to watch her like a hawk...she will be running an 8-min mile and still pick something up off the ground...if you blink, you'll miss it.

Got some mileage in today, going to give Lucy a bath and blow-dry her, then we're going to go volunteer. I need to get back to giving-back...wasting too much time and I'm ready to get back to being a little more busy. I'll probably eat my words once May arrives, but for now, I'm kicking it up a notch in more ways than one.

Have a great day everyone!!

Hey all, from 35 yesterday to 8 right now. It has only risen 1 degree since I got up and it's windy..need I say more?

Checking in with Total Gym workout today...warmed up with a jog on the treadmill first.

Nomless did you get the email from collage that they are going out of business? I am so disappointed...I have been with them for over 30 years....now we have to find another place to get our dvd's. I found totalfitnessdvd's.com so will check that out. If you have workouts on your wish list now is the time to get them.

Pppmint how is little Lucy doing this morning...? Is she being a good girl or a naughty girl?

Logan has his nose stretched out so far with new smells in the air it is taking him forever and a day to do his business out there. That has to be a sign of Spring doesn't it? You can see I am hoping for a "sign"..

Not much else going on here...my car is not driveable as the thermostat went or something related to that....and I need groceries...so maybe have to go tonight with DH..( oh boy)...

Have a great rest of the day!
