Well Terri....

I am into week 14 of my Trail half marathon training. April 29th I will be

bounching down the trails of Ann Arbor, MI completing my first trail half

marathon, and my 4th half marathon. This training period has been <said in a

whisper> injury free and I am feeling great.

How about you?

Kelley,

Good to hear from you! I can't believe you're on your 4th half marathon

already! I remember when you started running! I'm glad you're feeling

great. Do you have a goal time for this race?

I am in great shape right now. I'm back in all my skinny clothes and my

running pace is much faster than it has been in a long while. I have lots

of muscle and feel really strong. I plan on doing lots of cycling this

summer. I'd like to lose about 3 more lbs and then I think that would put

me at about 15% bf. We're leaving for a family vacation to Mexico tomorrow

and I am so ready to get out of here. We had a snow storm this week!

Who else wants to give us an update??

Terri

Terri,

I've been way over busy playing catch-up with repeated work and family

crises.

Stand by for the big return. .Actually, the only BIG thing about my return

will be my body and pant size. Not as big as way back, but, I definitely

fell off course so bad that I needed a rescue effort to return to the BFL

mother ship.

Stay tuned.

Well, , I will tell you here that I have ordered a new set of cocktail

napkins for the 28th of April show. Entered Masters Figure

too.......(translated to " Old Women's Figure " ), so must dig out the 'ho shoes

and commence tottering around so's I don't fall on my wrinkly old face when I go

onstage. Bodybuilding is MUCH easier..........bare feet. LOL

Nice to see you are alive, BTW............

Had the flu and it lasted about 3 weeks.

The Dr. didn't want to prescribe anything.

Used to be you would get a prescription at the first sniffle.

Anyway, haven't lifted a weight or run since.

Need you guys and gals to advise, help me motivate myself, and

become better than I was.

I had been really good (maybe too good?) with nutrition for awhile and

got down to 150 lbs. I almost think that is too thin for me but I've

increased my weekly running mileage 20 miles this year over last year

so naturally I lost a few lbs. My pants which are now only size 30

are falling off me. Recently, I've had the desire to eat a lot of

chocolate and other crap and weight is up to 154 lbs, but I've been

hovering around 155 for a long time and it is a pretty good weight for

me. I would like to get back on the wagon with good nutrition all of

the time even if it means I lose a couple lbs.

Since March, I've only managed about 1 weight workout per week since

the running has been more strenuous. I'm happy with this right now

and is definitely better than none at all. The reason for all this

extra running is that I'm training for the Berryman Trail marathon on

May 19th. This will be my 9th marathon since 2004 and my first trail

marathon. I've always enjoyed trail running and Kelley signed up for

her trail half, and then someone mentioned the Berryman to me and how

quickly it filled up, so I signed up in January.

I'm planning to do the local Heart of America marathon in Columbia on

Labor day and am strongly considering a 50K trail ultra marathon on

October 28. This will likely fill up quickly so I will make a

decision after my trail marathon on May 19th. Since my birthday is

Oct 31st I'm thinking the ultra sounds like a good present to myself.

I'm even planning ahead to next year. If all continues to go well

with running, I may run a 50 miler next year. The Berryman Trail

marathon also has a 50 mile ultra on the same day. As long as I do my

exercises every week, I've been having good luck with my ankle. At

one point, I thought the problems I was having with it would prevent

me from ever running an ultra since I was in such bad shape after my

marathons. It's given me very little trouble since last May when I

visited a physical therapist. I'm now wearing an over the counter

orthotic and doing my exercises to strengthen/stretch my ankles and feet.

Just go for one workout and I'm sure your good patterns will soon return.

I think so. I'm still managing one weight workout per week and

actually have gained a few lbs. I'll go back to lifting more whenever

I cut back on running.

Anyone else care to post an update, Brett???

It sounds like you are working really hard! Make sure you post some

pics from our show if you can. They are always inspiring. I'm sure

your daily work routine burns a lot of calories so probably is a good

addition to everything else you are doing.

> Well, hello out there in cyberland. I'm really getting down and

dirty since first show is this coming Saturday and the 2nd on is May

12th. My consultant told me she wanted my tummy tight, and prescribed

700 ab reps every other day. *groan*...........well, I found 9 that

fit the bill, so I do 4 sets of 25, so this morning that made a total

of 900. Jeez, I want visible abs so bad I will do this.........I just

hope my iPod is up to the challenge. It takes me almost an hour to

get it all done, so have re-arranged my other workouts around it. No

more " off " days for me till the 2nd show is over. The cardio is

starting to be a challenge also. Last evening when I did it I almost

wussed out and quit, my legs were starting to hurt, but I sucked it up

and finished. Due to my cutting carbs, etc. now, I am feeling pretty

tired, so perhaps I will just have to do the elliptical on the " 1 "

setting for the allotted time and not worry about upping the

resistance. If my stupid daily work wasn't so physically demanding, I

could probably handle it better. I will do what I am able to do and

not worry about the rest. (well, maybe not worry TOO MUCH about

it...........LOL)

Wow, 90s! Maybe it'll be a little cooler in the morning when they are

running!
