I ran again with Audrey (the girl I VT). And invited another slower gal, Tamra (I don't want to sound critical that they are slower). Thought we could all run on the same day. Tamra mentioned to me one day that she really wanted to strength train, so I invited both gals to join me in my home gym for a session. They were both worked over after we did one set of everything. I told them not to hate me tomorrow :). They left and I finished up on my home. It was really warm out this morning.

I need to start with strength training soon. Taking a few weeks off from running (five) after marathon and due to joint pain. But maybe before then I can join you--like in a few weeks. I am not strong. Rather wimpy. But I always wanted to try some of this you listed. WAy to go. Btw my sister runs about 10 to 1030 pace and is signed up for runner series and will need some fun girls to run with her pace. Maybe you could suggest some women to her. : D.

Scott-I think they hate me now!!

Julie-you live right around the corner from me! You are more than welcome to come any time. It usually takes me 30-45 minutes and I try to do it 3 times a week.
