as if we needed more evidence that jeans really are each woman for herself, i have both these and the gap always skinny, and i find that i <3 the always skinny and don't really like these as much (they have too much space around the knee and make me feel like a mom). but i do chalk that up to being what women's fashion mags call an "apple"

oh, this cracked me up.

FYI the only brand of heels i like are miz mooz, which are sold at shoebiz (i go to the noe one now, because i am that girl) and they are not cheap but not too expensive either (like $100) and they don't hurt. just a vote of confidence for those. kitten heels suck

hmm well, like tonight i'm having wine with ace and two other friends. tomorrow i'm going with people to see justin in a play. wednesday i might grab a beer with my cousin, but i also want to go to this workout class. thursday i was supposed to go to a city arts & lecture with peattie, but since the giants are playing that night he's not going so i might not go either. friday, heading down to monterey for a wedding over the weekend. that's about average. usually i have 1 or 2 free nights between mon-thurs. this week is esp bad.

i got a new specialized "dolce" a month or two ago.

I mean, it's not like I don't own several seasons on DVD. There would be some dark times in that rewatching... the Chad Michael Murray era, for example. The part where Pacey sleeps with the teacher. On the plus side, there is the Oliver Hudson as "Eddie" era.

typically i do take a day off, but this week since i switched it up i didn't. lesson learned!

no, not really, but at certain times it could be, and in certain areas. it's really only block to block. like my block is fine, most of the blocks nearby are fine, but i still wouldn't want to be out alone on some of them in the dark. just some of them, mostly farther away. but running 3.5 miles takes you kind of far, and sometimes to areas i'm less familiar with! don't worry though, i'm being safe

yeah, not totally sure it's my hip flexors, but i will say that on thursday after my 3ish mile run i stretched those and other muscles out (i don't normally stretch after running, but doing so thursday helped so much i've changed my attitude about it) and it did help. the IT band stretches are amazing -- i've done those before, not during this training -- and am seriously considering buying a roller for myself. we'll see.

Nope! Not your chair. Your chair was taken away enthusiastically by the girl who bought Dan's bed (or something of Dan's, I wasn't there). So it has a new home.

It's not really my ankle, it's more like my thigh. I got new shoes but not the Ariel, the bitchy salesgirl at the ladies running store I went to told me my feet didn't pronate so much as to need it. I trusted her, although she was terrible, so maybe I shouldn't have.

i remember you sleeping in that bathroom. i think it's hilarious. i have seriously considered doing something similar here! also i don't know if i have apnea, but my allergist suggested i might. i don't think i really snore.

it's funny, i don't really feel like i'm doing that much exercise. on the days that i "rest" or don't run, i kind of just feel sort of sluggish and lame.

So I go to personal training once a week. It's sometimes machines, but most of the time we do things like Bosu balls or free weights (plus core work and lunges and stuff like that). I keep breaking personal records in that, so I consider that my "heavy weights" if any. I also do lots of lunges squats pushups and other sort of "lifting your own body" type exercises in my Burn class. I know no one trusts a class that has 3, 5 and sometimes 8 pound weights as the only thing you use, but it really, truly has made me stronger and all those weights are used in conjunction w/ squats and lunges and what have you, so it's a very solid workout. I don't think I'll be doing stronglifts anytime soon since I've already found some weight/strength training routines that really work for me (plus I've already paid for them in some cases). BUT I do need to do the intervals. I've usually seen things that are like 1min high, 1min low intensity. Where do you do your sprints Orges? It's not really doable in the gym.

apparently they do! their site says "coming to the rescue of runners with low or flat arches and excessive pronation.

my feet pronate, do you know if the ariel works for that? i'll have to investigate

yeah i need new shoes. i have gotten good shoes before, like go to the places where they look at how you walk and help you pick shoes based on that. i've also got other strength building things going already which i wrote about in this post so i feel good on that front. (i do personal training once a week and this workout class that does a lot of good strength building another time a week.) it's really just about increasing endurance and seeing if i can do it. we'll see!

and i signed up! so ... here goes!
