Original Post by chickshakespeare: I'm a bigger fan of glide vs. powder, because while the powder does decrease the moisture for a while, it can gunk up and turn into a nasty paste ... sorry to get so descriptive ... while glide just keeps on gliding. Body glide is def. my favorite running product - I use it on feet, butt and inner thighs, and sometimes even on my arms when my ipod strap starts to rub. This past weekend, I went to Cali for the Disneyland half marathon, and was saddened to find the day before that my last bit of glide had cracked and broken in the heat in my backpack. But all was well - luckily one of the vendors at the Expo was selling it! 13.1 miles chafe free, and a new PR! |

Hello there! Long time no see! I just wanted to jump in and say "hey" Looks like things are quiet here in slimming minis land - ah well. I had a great month of august, and ended up running my half marathon 11 minutes faster than last year!! I'm thinking of getting back into the swing of things and tracking my cals again this month. good to see you all! |

Yay! Welcome judy_! We've had the same crowd doing the challenge for a few months now so it's great to see a new face. Folks - although I don't have time to consistently track my points, I'll pop in from time to time to check in. I'm proud that for the first time in a few weeks, I managed to drink my 8x8oz of water yesterday and I had a great 5 mile run. Yippie! |

Hi all, Sorry to see many of you leaving for July, but glad you'll return later. Kyashiis has agreed to take over moderating for me in July, so those of you wishing to continue, please direct your messages to her. She'll be starting a new thread, since she can't get permissions to edit this one, so be on the lookout for the link to the new one, which she or I will post here. Thanks! Spacedreamer |

Happy last day of June, everyone!
I'm going to be gone from July 17 on and returning the 28th or so, so I can help set up and get the forum going, but then I'd love to turn it over to someone else.... or just have someone else moderate from the outset.
So... any takers?
Thanks! |

I second everyone who's mentioned commando - I find running tights/shorts that have a cotton or cotton-like material in the crotch. After constantly getting small blisters where the elastic hit my skin, I gave up wearing undies under my running togs. |

Hi all!
I'm back after a long and tiring weekend. I performed as a clown for like 3.5 hours on Saturday, and after being on my feet with my arms up making balloon animals and marching down a road doing cartwheels, I feel like I should have worn my heart rate monitor and tracked how many calories I burned - I was so sore on Sunday!!!
Thank you all for being patient with me - the points are now updated.
solemnleaf - does that look better?? |

Awww! We'll miss you, Bobbie!!!!! See you next month. And you know if you feel like jumping back in after you get back from your conference, you're always welcome.
And as to the run/speedwalk thing, Pam, I've heard of people running half marathons, and even marathons that way. It's a legitimate race strategy. Personally, I find it very difficult for my heart rate to stop and start that much - it's jogging or nothing for me. I have to force myself to stop at water and food stations during races. A walk/run method is good, however, if you're looking to build up your stamina, since it's pretty much like interval training, which is good for your heart. Good luck! |

Yeah wow, kyashiis! That's awesome! I had some good news yesterday- my personal trainer is back in town after 6 months of being in Australia and South Africa! Yay! I missed him - so did my muscles...
Also - I updated all your points on my spreadsheet yesterday but forgot to put them in the thread header - oops! I'll do that now. |

hahaha that totally counts, galax
and alice - i'm not too concerned about the "treating yourself" with snacks issue since you only get points for completing this challenge once, not once a day =) |

Thanks to you folks who sent in points over the weekend - we're still waiting to hear fro Kyashiis and lval. Ok here's our first one-time challenge - Personal Challenge Treat Yourself - 1 point for doing something nice for yourself - examples could be getting/giving yourself a manicure, putting some lotion on dry areas sorely in need, having a favorite snack, etc... |

Just from this point forward, I think - to be fair to those folks who may not have tracked their calories but will do so now (like me =) |
