Bored @ work, wanna play "ask me anything?"
The SO board is slow today and so is work!
Wanna ask me anything?

Re: Bored @ work, wanna play "ask me anything?"
What really got me into running, was the fact that I registered for a marathon. LOL!
I would recommend a program called "Couch to 5K" if you don't have a running background. Couch to 5K is a walk run program that can help you build up your endurance to run longer distances. I know there is an app you can download on your Ipod or phone that plays music while you're supposed to be running and tells you when to talk, etc...
And I will never recommend running on a treadmill, going outside is much better for your gait.
ETA: Also, google Jeff Galloway. he has a great walk/run program for beginning runners.
When I first started running, I couldn't even do 2 miles without walking and now I can do 10+ without walking... I used Jeff Galloway's methods when I first started out.
Now I am addicted!! :-)

Well, honestly, I don.t really go over there much anymore. I posted over there yesterday re: Sadie's incontinence issues, but I feel as though the dynamic has completely changed. As you know, I was there all day everyday and now I cringe when reading just the titles of the posts.
So, all-in-all, I am not much of a fan anymore, which is unfortunate. I learned so much about nutrition, vaccinations, educational toys, etc...

thanks, I will look into these. I would love to get passionate about it. It seems like people who run love it.
You're welcome! In the future, if you have any specific questions, please let me know.

I think a lot of the old regulars feel the same way. I am friends with a lot of them on FB.

Craziest place you've ever had sex?
Was your X super active like Mr. K? Is there anything you won't do (skydiving, bungee jumping etc?)
When the X and I were dating, we drove to his property, where he kept his horses and we knocked it out in the bed of his truck in the pasture.
Orrrrr, on my trampoline in my backyard! LOL.
Mr. K and I are planning to have sex on the beach at some point, but I think he is a bit shy, but it will happen some day! I hope.
X was FAR from active. The X's favorite thing to do was to watch TV and sleep. It was a relief when I found out that Mr. K doesn't even own a TV.
I will pretty much try anything once. I have already been sky diving. Bungee jumping doesn't really appeal to me, but if someone were to ask me if I wanted to go do it, I wouldn't say "no."
Going to lunch now, but will be back in a couple of hours if there are more questions. :-)

Yes, my poor mother had me at the age of 43 and it was difficult for her to keep up with me. At the age of 2, I was in gymnastics. As I got a little older I was on a swim team, dive team, tennis team, softball, volleyball, basketball (my favorite sport to play), track, soccer team etc..
My favorite form of exercise is SEX! HA HA. JK. Hmm, I would probably say that running is my favorite as I can do it anywhere, with anyone, by myself, with my dogs. I thoroughly enjoy swimming as well.
My two favorite sports to watch are professional football and baseball.

Yes! Born and raised.
Although, I do NOT have a southern accent.

Right now I live in the south, VERY south Houston area. My favorite parts of Texas are Galveston, Austin and the hill country (where Mr. K and I just ran our 25K).

I looked at UTMB Galveston for grad school, and VERY nearly went there...and then the hurricane swept through just a few months after I would have started! I've always felt like I dodged a bullet there! Galveston was really nice, though.
Well, if you ever come again, let me know!

UTMB is back up and running! Hint hint, cough cough!
