I made Belladonna spill her coffee. That made my day.

The only question is... since I haven't been to bed yet, is today tomorrow, or yesterday? What if I don't go to sleep tonight? Does this one still count for tomorrow? I really need to learn how to sleep.

You do that really often, NeverMore! lol Make me spill my coffee or bend over double laughing.
And everyone would have to agree with that.

Way to go with the basketball goal, Adrian.
My brother is crazy about playing. He's always dragging me out to play. I play like the typical girl!

I am not Happy or sad or mad I am just bored!!!!! Witchy

There's nothing sad about that, Witchy -- running is a great sport! It's probably the only one I'm good at, too.

Hey fellow-runners! I love it!

That must have made you feel great! How far did you run? I'm also a runner and ran a 10-mile race on October 10 at 7:30 a.m. My finishing time was 1:26:03, which I was happy with. I didn't place 1st, 2nd or 3rd in my division, but out of the 115 females in the 45 to 49 range (I'm 47), I came in 16th place, beating out 99 other women. There were a little over 1,500 runners total, and my overall place was 473rd. The overall winner was a 35-year-old male who finished in 55:24. I can't imagine being able to run that fast for that distance!

That's awesome! Congrats! I'll be happy if I can still hobble, much less run when I'm in my forties!

I only do 4 miles a day, and I try to go at least five days a week. When I started back up in February, I called it my "Jogwaddlewalk", but now it's mostly a run. I do feel good after, but I can't exactly claim that I run because I enjoy it. I do it 'cause if I don't, I'll have to get to and from the Maury Povich show on the back of a flat-bed truck.

No, Witchy, I was not in track during high school. I was diagnosed with asthma when I was four -- that was when I experienced my first asthma attack, which kept me in the hospital for a week. Although I was an active child -- I roller-skated, rode my bike, played tag and hop-scotch, etc., I was exempt from participating in overstrenuous p.e. activities that required endurance. When you just do "normal" kid running around, such as the activities that I mentioned, it's more stop-go. It's nothing that I had to keep up for long periods of a time, as in cross-country, or sprinting as in track and field. When I was a kid, they didn't have preventive inhalers or medications. We knew nothing about managing our asthma so that you wouldn't have an asthma attack. The rule back then was don't overdo it, otherwise you'll need your rescue inhaler. I wish when I was a kid we had all the meds we have today because maybe I would've been on the track or cross-country team. Also, it's a vicious circle. I was picked on during a couple of grades and wonder if maybe I did a sport, I would've developed more confidence in myself, which is what I really could've used back then. But because I got picked on, I never had the confidence to want to go out and try, which actually sounds dumb because of my asthma I wouldn't have been able to have done anything anyway. Don't get me wrong -- I didn't have an unhappy childhood and I had friends. It was just a couple of grades that I had some problems with certain kids.

Thank you! You're doing fine. Four miles a day, five days a week is great. You're active and whatever your motivation for doing it is, the fact is you're out there running and that's what matters.

I never ran in school, I took gymnastics. I discovered running after I got to be an adult, sadly.
I wish that I had.

Mac's a runner too? We have a lot of people here. It's too bad we don't live closer, we could run together.
