I buy my shoes at Super Jock N Jill and they also let you test run in shoes before you buy them. They watch your gait, pronation and stride. Never seen these before bro, but I'm always up for new...

Awesome Glenn....just bought some Brooks and love them, but I will definitely look at these Hokas. I'm around 60 miles a week so shoes don't last me long. Thanks for the hot tip and I'll let you...

Thank you Cody....and Christine...you are such a positive energy bunny that I feed off your posts. Keep on keeping on girlfriend and change those shoes every 400 miles....=)

I remember saying to my wife right after surgery, while throwing up after sipping some water..." What the fuck did I just do to myself?" Two days later I was walking for 20 minutes, one week later I...

I just want everyone to know that Tam is not only positive, encouraging and motivating...but she has a beast mode when it comes to training (Seahawk fans understand the reference). She's awesome and...

Go Girl! Awesome update and way to rock the exercise piece of our new lifestyle. Keep on keepin on and lots of blessings and hugs your way!!=)

Hi Shelby, what's weird is that you feel everything that you ingest. For instance, when I gulp too much water...it sits there and slowly drains into my stomach. If I eat too big a bite of food, it...

Gall Bladder
Driving in the Express Lanes I thought the pain was passing...then it got worse and worse. Pretty soon, I was breaking out in cold sweat and the world began closing down. I was...

You'll do awesome Lori...sounds like something many of us went thru the first few days. I remember asking "What the hell did I do to myself??" Get through these tough days, sip and sip some more,...

We've all been there. For myself, I focus on finding and making food that tastes naughty but is healthy....Skinnytaste and Pinterest helps me with that. My biggest help however is movement. You can...
