Nibbs XXXV (Page 25)

I just got back from a long run, did a bit of it with C.  Still wound up dropping her   I try to keep slowing down for her but she just stops along the way cause she starts off too fast.

mchally - 2009-01-03 12:10 PM Once my bfast digests a bit I am going to head out for a run.    I hope that C doesn't get too discouraged.  It took quite a while for me to get to the point that running wasn't something I avoided. 

Thanks, I think she just needs to find her internal pace which is something you can't train, you just sort of feel.  I know when I did track in HS I was NOT a runner cause I had no sense of pace.  (I did shot put, discus and mile walk).  I didn't really run until a few years ago when I started off slow on a treadmill and built distance then time. 

I have blisters on both feet from the ball of the foot to the instep.  ARGH!  These are new shoes with about 20 miles on them.  I have determined they stink for long runs but am reluctant to put more $$ into a new pair just 2 weeks after buying these.

Oh man Judi am I sorry about your blisters. Maybe you can relegate those to walking shoes.

Any chance you could still take them back?

He only accepts returns if they're tready worn (ick)

They're too big fo C

Hey all-

Believe it or not, I am ready to vacuum my bedroom. 

Hi Nibbs...I stayed at my mates place after riding yesterday...was going to ride this morning but slept in..whoops!

My legs are protesting this riding thing though...just a few achy bits when climbing stairs
(nothing major) and a lack of zip in my legs...thinking a day off or at least a day where Im not riding could be a good idea???? Not sure...

I could always swim....

Yes Cat, You could always swim

They suggested I get body glide for my feet cause the shoes were fine in erms of fit.  Seems I ovecorrected the heel strike and now I land too much on the forefoot.  They didn't have any body glide either.   Grr...now I have to hunt it down but at least I didn't have to shell out $$ for more new shoes

Your room looks awesome, Melissa!

That's so funny, I've posted before and after pics of my room in my blog before.

That is awesome.  

I just got out my bipolar workbook, my adult ADHD workbook, Surviving Manic Depression and Driven to Distraction (about ADHD-kids and adults)

I've been wanting to find a few of the charts that I have used in the past.  If I come up with them I will send some copies your way.

Ohhh, thank you!

I've read Driven to Distraction and Delivered from Distraction both. I wept at many of the pages, even though they're actually pretty funny in places, because I identified so much, and it was such a huge relief to know why I am the way I am.

I spent years specializing in tutoring and then teaching learning disabled kids--I have a special gift for it--but it never occurred to me that might be because I get how many of them think and learn, and was able to adapt to each one as an individual.
