Hi Everyone, I have been a lazy bum and my longest run since the half marathon on 11/19/12 is 6.5 miles...will be away visiting family the next few days-Next week it's back to business. Alenee- great job-so glad you are running again! It's nice to see so many new names on here:)!!

Hmm so at what grade does the switch take place? My dd is in 7th now and I was assuming we'd keep plugging along...I'm bummed this may not be an option:(

Thanks for your input...I did not realize that the higher level CLE was actually Alpha Omega materials...that explains why they sell the AO teacher's guide with their lightunits...that totally confused me! I'm bummed though b/c I really like CLE and had hoped that it would continue as we love it into the high school years for my youngest 4... If you had a child who has done CLE math for years, what did they think when they transitioned to the AO materials? I see that it is still in lightunit format...

Has anyone made this switch? I chose to have my sophomore complete TT Algebra 1 and 2 consecutively instead of the traditional Alg 1,Geometry, Alg 2 sequence.I'm not crazy about TT and LOVE CLE(Christian Light Education) for my 4 youngest but they have been doing it from grade school...it this a feasible switch in high school?? Any advice welcome:) On the web site', I do not see an option for placement tests for the upper grades... Thanks!

Yeah, Alenee!! you can do it! keep us posted...You know I am a HUGE believer in Galloway's method for training without injury...you might want to consider using the timer and training that way...or do you already do that? My brain is foggy!!

Thanks for all who posted...it's good to know we're all still plodding along... Kudos to you 25 miles a week gals--Wow! That's alot of miles!! Alenee: sorry to hear about your health issues, but glad you are figuring it out and planning to get back out there:) OC Mom...I hear you about the time commitment and cutting back...I don't think you will ever regret spending time with your family...I'm sure you'll figure out a plan that works...it feels like I'm constantly adjusting the schedule but it's okay as this season with kids home is flying by and I don't want to miss out!! LG Gone Wild...Nono hasn't been on the board for a long while...I've been wondering about her too and miss all of her running advice! Hope the subforums are up and running soon! kathi

425lisamarie, Too funny...I too run b/c it helps me to maintain my weight...and I agree-running doesn't take as long as going to the gym...and it's free!

Anyone still out there? I miss our old board :( Would love to catch up and hear how everyone is doing...since I don't know when the subgroups will be up and running, I figured I'd start a thread. I did run the Philly HM on November 18th...finished 9 minutes faster than last year and this was with planned walk breaks/Galloway method. Guess it really does work:) have only been out on a few short runs since the race due to the wedding of my running buddy's daughter yesterday...but now that the wedding is over, we will resume our weekly long runs,if the weather cooperates :) Hope you all are well...

I have been a member of the welltrained runners but can not access? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks!! I wonder who linked it? At any rate, I hope it is a help to others:)

Where? Can you share that link?/

hooray!! Victory:party: That's quite impressive:)

Nono, are you evacuating?? Stay safe!!

Wow, this is news to me too as I always give this to my kids!!

We're in NJ too and this has been so hard to shake...I have a 12 yo daughter, I have 15 and 17 yo sons and can not imagine young men that age doing such a thing...My heart is so hurting for 2 families destroyed by this:(!!! Praying for God to hold these families up in the midst of this horrible tragedy.
