  1. I have been to parties with similar situations. The invite only states the name of the child they are friends with. There have been times when I show and am surprised that they are also celebrating their siblings birthday. I didn't feel obligated or uncomfortable at all since I didn't know about it. More hassle with the invites but it's totally worth it.

  2. Thanks Jenn. I have been running at 2% since I started about 2 weeks ago and wonder if I should be flat or 1%. Maybe I'm trying to wimp out of 2%. I want to make it as close to outside as possible but seems that it takes me way longer running on the treadmill than walking the same distance outside. So, I'm wondering if the incline is slowing me down or its just that its so different that you almost can't really compare.

  3. What is your incline for normal running? I had read before that a 2% incline is equal to outdoor running/walking. Recently I have been researching a little more and realized that many recommend 1% incline. I know its not much difference and the more I incline the better, but for long steady runs what would be best. BTW my version of long runs is 3 or 4 miles. :tongue_smilie:

  4. Hello, I stopped by to introduce myself. I am 42 yrs. old. In my mission to find a sport to help me get active I stumbled upon a book "Born to Run". It was very inspiring and decided to start running or try to start running. I always hated running and just didn't get it. Now, for some reason it makes sense. I haven't done any races, but look forward to train for my first 5K, even if it takes me a long time. I'm just happy to have a goal and get active again.

  5. MUS - I was really disappointed with this one. At the time when I was researching math programs, everyone was raving about it. That's when I learned curr. comes in waves.

     

    LLATL - I really wanted to love this one. I was really excited but it was way too light.

     

    100EZ - I cracked the book opened and coudn't bare to continue looking at it. It was just me. My kids never saw it. I'm glad other have been able to use it.
