I was sitting watching the Olympics and the marathon too. And it got me motivated, I do not like the C25K because I can't do the stop and then go. So tonight I went out and haven't worked out in a lllllllllllooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggggg time I jogged 7 minutes straight!!! I know thats not a lot but next time I run, Monday, I will try and go for 10 minutes without stopping. Both pairs of my compression shorts are in the trash they ripped so I put deodrant on my legs and that really helped with them not sticking together. I am so happy now!

TBoneP I personally would go with the biker shorts and they shouldn't cause a problem. I have always been advised not to wear jeans or jean shorts while working, and while you are a man and I am woman I don't know how that would affect you down there. Trying to put it nicely. Hope you have a great day everyone!!!

Soccer groups in Wichita,KS

guest — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 23:45:31 GMT

I started playing soccer for AYSO when I was a sophmore in high school. I played a year of soccer at Bethany College and I transfered. I have gotten out of shape and would like to get back into shape and play soccer. Are there any soccer groups or leagues in Wichita,KS?

I am a big slacker. I have not worked out in I don't know how long. This past week I told Wichita State to kiss my *** basically and I transfered to Butler County which has an extension part in a town close to me. I am already in there education program and am looking forward to it. So I am getting myself adjusted to that and getting everything finished up with them and also my sister has decided to take my desk and dresser so I am organizing my room and trying to find new furniture. I am hoping that after life slows down I will start working out again. My classes are Monday and Tuesday night so I can work the rest of the week. There is a small gym close to my house I am going to check into. I hope everyone is doing better than me.

As a new week begins my mind is already racing about how I can make myself more active and healthier. Today after I am done babysitting I think I am going to buy me a new pair of shoes, my church has Adult Basketball on Tuesday nights and I am going to start going to it and maybe a new pair of running shoes if they are on sale. Since I can't seem to kick my pop habit, I am now just trying to drink pop on the weekends and the weekends only. I went to my doctor last week (sorry guys you may not want to hear this) and she said that I have polysistic ovarian syndrome, bascially my body can't produce a period without the help of birth control and because of this I will never have kids. I was doing some research after I calmed down and found out that if I exercised more and ate healthier I could break this syndrome so that is why I am really wanting to get back into shape. It has been horrible here in Kansas with temperatures over 100 and the humidty at 80% I try and stay inside as much as I can. I am hoping tonight after it starts cooling I will either jog or walk do something to get me started.

Vicki, I took your advice and did something for me this summer and went on a couple trips to see my friends. The first trip was for my best friends wedding and the second was to see her again and relax. I feel so much more rejuevented and relaxed now that I have taken time out and made more time for myself. Well that is all for now. I surely hope everyone else is doing great.

I am fair skinned and over heat easy. I drink a lot of water and gatorade through out the day, and to cool off poor some water on you it will help you feel better for a little while.

Im here and alive, it has been a busy month. My best friend got married on June 21, and I came home that Sunday. I was home for a week or so and left again on the 3rd to go see her and my other friends. I had a great time especially since my boyfriend came to her place on the 4th and we spent it together. Her older brother is my boyfriend. I was up there till the 14th, came home and then left on Friday. I went to Salina to help my boyfriend, Brian with a softball tournament. He umpired some of the games and I was a score keeper for some games, so I spent all weekend in the nice 100+ degree weather. I did treat myself today to some new socks for running and a new pair of compression shorts (to keep my legs from rubbing and sticking together). Tomorrow I am getting up and going to a gym to work out, it is too hot outside. I will let you know how that goes. I am glad to see so many new members and hear that everyone is doing well.

Haven't been on here in a while so I am just letting people know that I am still alive. My best friend got married on Saturday and I went up Thursday to help and got back Sunday. I was exhausted I got to bed at 4 early sunday morning and didn't sleep very well I was too hot, that could be because she had an open bar at her wedding. I am going back up the 3rd and staying till the 13 so I can relax and get away and have fun and in the mean time I hope to keep running. Hope everyone is doing great!

I am kinda where the storms have hit, we have had rain pretty much non stop these past few weeks. It stopped raining tonight so I decided to go ahead and do the first day of the C25K again and do day two on Wednesday. We thought we have avoided the tornados and last Thursday there was a tornado that was 10-15 minutes away from our house and my dad looked outside and saw another one forming right over our house by that on touched down 30 minutes away. We haven't had any real damage. I hope everyone is doing fine, my girl scouts are at day camp this week and I am with them so I am exhausted from being on my feet all day and I suprised my self when I ran. Stargal I will keep praying for you, I hope everything is going great for you Vicki.

Good luck on the swimming Vicki, I know you can do it. I am hoping to wake up and either do the first day of the C25K again or do a yoga video it all depends on if it is still raining and how humid it is outside. I am also joining an adult basketball group at my church that meets every Tuesday night for some exercise. I have been getting a little more sleep, I went to get my back worked on. Well I was at the mall and they had a couple chinese guys that give massages so I paid for a 20 minute one and it took both of the guys to try to loosen my back a little, they both said they have never felt a back so tense before. I have always had back problems, if my brother in law works on it (which he has twice) he just pops it, but my back needs the deep tissue massage. Maybe I will find a place that is affordable and start getting weekly massages as a treat to myself. I am also planning on going camping this summer by myself so I can just get away from everyone and everything and enjoy the nature. Stargal I hope your problems are getting better I am praying for you. Well thats my quick update I am going to try to get to bed early tonight.

Thanks for all the advice. No I haven't been working out like I should, I would really like to get up at 5 every morning and either do the C25K or go on a walk. I live with my parents so I just have a bedroom, I had everything in my bedroom. A computer, stereo, tv, dvd/vcr combo, microwave, fridge. I am keeping the computer, stereo, and fridge and going to store the rest of it somewhere. I am taking myself shopping tomorrow but my cousin is coming with (he is 13) and I am looking for an outfit for a wedding. I haven't had a vacation in a looooooooong time so right now I am planning on going to St.Louis the week of my birthday in July with a couple friends. Right now I am just hoping to get everything moved and semi put back and later this week and weekend I will organize everything. Yes I am involved with the youth group at my church and in another group for college students and also a girl scout leader. Im hoping this summer will help with my schedule and help me relax, I am babysitting two days a week and work at my church Wednesday and Friday afternoons. So we will see, thanks for the advice and I will keep you updated. Hope you are having a great week!
