Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hi Lianne, Wow....you got that nasty nasty flu that wiped a whole bumch of people on their butts...some for three weeks. Glad you are back and healthy again. Did I hear you say...Chicago Marathon???? Well...it just so happens...I am training for that beginning June 6th, as soon as I return from my trip to Europe. I leave this Thursday and will be gone for 19 days. I am going to strive to walk 30 minutes every morning and make healthy food choices, but I also know I will want to partake of local fare and wines....soooo...if I come back without additional weight, I will consider that a bonus. Also, if there are gyms in the hotels, I will take advantage and do my weight workouts, but won't have an anerism if they don't. Jusy try to maintain...that will be good. Yesterday I bought the BFL for Women book. What motivated that purchase was that I am 46 and experiencing a tough time with weight gain around the middle. I am hoping I can get some guidance and inspiration to attack this problem with a new vengence. It is written by a woman who did her first challenge at 47. It gives me new hope. I plan to work the BFL program in with the 18 week marathon training program. I am confident I can do that nicely. So...hmmm...maybe we can work together somehow.

Back in December when I was training for a half marathon I got a stress fracture in my left tibia. It took 3 months to get it diagnosed, after which I was casted for 5.5 weeks. I came out of the cast April 18th, and proceeded to rehab by walking and walk/running. I learned the shin was not finished healling after a couple of weeks when the pain began to return, so now I am off of running another month. Keep positive thoughts for me that it is healed and ready to go by June. I am ready to get back to training. This has been a long 5 months of no running. :-( I look forward to some virtual training...both weight and running!

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Kelley, Yes, I definately got that one, and on my first full week in my dept, too! 101+ degree fever on my crappy thermometer which is notorious for reading a degree or so on the low end. It sucked, but I survived. Yeah, I said *gasp* Chicago marathon. I am leaning more towards doing that than the second fitness comp. because I just detest that part of MI. I won't switch to Marathon-mode until after the July fitness comp, but I'll be really lean at that time (if all goes according to plan, which it WILL dammit!!!) so switching modes shouldn't be a big deal. There is another book you may be interested in. My dad recently bought a book that is something like " Cycling (or training for?) for over 50 " . I am thinking of getting it (even though I am under 30) because it sounded like good info regardless. I will have to get the exact title for you. I was unaware there was a BFL book for women... how excellent!! I am not strictly following BFL in terms of my workouts, but otherwise... the eating is fairly close except for trying to get more dairy in than I used to. Yogurt, yogurt, yogurt.....

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Hi Lianne! Congratulations on your 5K + .4!!!! Nice time too!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 I will be running Chicago on Sunday Oct 9th !!! It is a flat course with lots of great crowd support. I belong to a running list on yahoo called LetsChatAboutRunning which provides great training incentive and support. At least 15 people from that list will be running Chicago, and two or three of us will be first timers. It is a good one to do for the fall. Kelley > > Hi Lianne! Congratulations on your 5K + .4!!!!
