WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED!!!!!!

I doubt you remember me but I posted a lot last year around this time and shortly there after....basically Cool Running got sold to active went down the drain now I use Runners World forum. This place has gone down the crappers I can't find anyting in these dang threads and they really messed up the forums here. Does anyone still frequent this DFW thread or what?

Thanks, nupe! I know I probably need to man-up and learn how to really swim. My abilities pretty much max out at a competitive game of Marco Polo right now. Any way you remember the websites that helped you out? I'd like to read more before I just try to get better on my own (which I have tried before).

In the meantime, I do plan to try some water exercises, no matter how lame or dorky I look. Maybe I can practice real swimming while I'm in the pool anyway.

2percenter,

Swimming wasn't in my fav 5! But for low-impact activity you can't beat it. Plantar ficiaitus will keep me out of the cowtown this year, but i've kept my conditioning through swimming. At first , I would get exhausted swimming 5min w/o stopping. After learning the mechanics, off of the internet of all places, I can swim over an hour comfortably. I drank way too much pool water for about a month:_|, but it has been worth it. Give it a try.

Good luck,

Nupe68

Once you are logged in, you go to the top of the page and there is a link for "My Active" click on that. Then on the left there is an "Edit Preferences" link. At that link there are all of the e-mail options. I know, I just turned them off as well.

I'd like to be participating in the discussion here, but in response to pesiv's "How's everyone doing?" question, I have to say pretty poorly. Running-wise anyway. My knee has kept me pretty much out of running for over a year now. I'm working on it and am trying to be optimistic.

On that note, I'm on the lookout for good exercises to work each leg indepently to strengthen one of them up. Also, no/low-impact would be nice! I know swimming is an option, but I am very very terrible at that. So, if you come across anything, let me know!

I keep getting an email notifying me every time that a post is done in this thread. Does anyone know why, and how to stop it!!!

So how do I find this thread from the home page now? I had to search DFW to pull it up. I'm too lazy to work that hard to find this. I wish they wouldn't have changed it. It seems more complicated to navigate....

How's everyone doing?
