az2mn~What a frightening phone call that must have been. I'm sure the hug you shared was one where you never want to let go of each other. You're both in my prayers as your husband recovers. My dear father suffered his first heart attack at age 32, he has an extensive family history of cardiac disease, also. He found wonderful cardiologists for treatment and has outlived 2 of them. He has been vigilant about diet, activity and keeping stress under control. God willing, he will celebrate his 90th birthday in July. Take care.
az, i am so sorry to hear about your husbad. My prayers are with you all.
Well, DD LeAnne & I are officially Goofy! WE DID IT!!! 26.2 miles + 13.1 miles equals 39.3 miles of GOOFY incredible time with my daughter. Today's marathon time 6:17:58 which included 26 character photos, 3 stops for biofreeze & vaseline and a porta potty break. My feet are sore, I'll lose one toe nail, and I've told LeAnne not to ask me to do this again any time soon. But still it was an awesome experience and I think God for the assurance, strength, and resolve to do it. Tks to all of you for your encouragement and assurance that we could do it! I'll try to get some photos up soon!
Temps were in the 80's, would have preferred about 10-20 degrees cooler, but you take what you get. Plan for today's marathon was run/walk/run 1 minute intervals. Stayed with it until last 4 or 5 miles and the walk breaks extended to 2 or 3 minutes and then walked a lot, but we finished.
We had trained using dried dates as our energy source. Well wouldn't you know that I forgot to take them today! We had breakfast at the park, bagel, half banana, a lttile cream cheese & pnut butter. But by mile 9 I was really beginning to wain. It wasn't until mile 11 when they had bananas and after that when they put out the Gu. My saving grace was that I had a packet of jelly from breakfast and it was enough to get me to the banana. That was the best banana I've ever eatten.....and I don't care for bananas, but I eat them because they are a good source of potassium.
I got too hot on yesterday's half as I didn't wear a hat & my costume was all black.... corrected that for today. The crowd was huge for both race but had a wee bit better spacing and therefore somewhat easier running than yesterday.It definately got us off our gameplan for mostlyf walking and imited running per Jeff Galloway to save ourselves for today .Well we blew that big time although you wouldn't know it by the time. Sometimes you just have to move w/ the flow and there we're a lot of runners in our corral using walk breaks. Yet, their pace was running slow and uncomfortable for me ad Le. Those who did take walk breaks moved at a snail's pace and made it hard to get in a rtyhnn and it was so crowded that it was hard to dodge traffic. Time for half was 3:11:29. We stopped for a several character photos that took a lot of time, probably about 45 min. Today's lines were generally quicker. We passed on the really long ones. Some would probably take 20 minutes or more to get through.
We had a lot of fun. We're please with our results esp considering the back to back races and the high temps. Now to enjoy the parks w/ the grandkids for a few days.....just hope they don't have to rent Nanna one of the motorized carts to move around in. LOL.
I've learned a tremendous amount about running and about myself during this journey. Glad I/we did it. Have I mentioned what an incredibly awesome daughter I have?!?

Marie- You did it! Way to go PaintingLady! Enjoy the next few days and work out those muscle aches as you do. You deserve the break.
az2mn- So sorry to hear about your DH. To be so far apart when it happened- I agree with Debra about never wanting to let go. Interesting about how 'cool' he was when he called, I can see me doing that too. Guys! Particulary guys in medicine.
Debra- that must be some record, survivine 58 years after your heart attack! Wow.
Mary Kay- I've been doing the low heart rate regimen per Maffetone, or trying to. My target HR per his formula is 117-127. I've liberalized it a little because I've found that my actual maximum heart rate is a lot higher than the formulas predict, so I'm trying to keep mine under 130-135. On the treadmill that is still awfully slow, usually alternating running and walking. I plan to do this 3-4 times/week and get in one harder run each week. Once I get outside, we'll see how that goes. I'll probably do that for most of the next 3 months, then in April push harder as I get ready for the first HM of the year. It is boring, and hard to keep it down, but it will help you stay healthy and avoid over training. Good luck.

BRAVO MARIE!!!! Congratulations to you and LeAnne on being "Goofy" enough to accomplish it! Sounds like you had soooo much fun and every mile was a memory for both of you. Enjoy visiting the parks surrounded by your grandbabies. As the memories of this journey begin to surface in the coming days and weeks, be proud of all you have accomplished. Well done!
Great job to you both!!!!
az2mn- Glad to hear all is well with your husband. While I'm not a fan of treadmills, in your case it seems to be a good idea in order to help your husband get back into a regular training regimen. We have one and it works very well for my wife who much prefers it versus going out for walk/runs alone

I got my first notification on your HM at 5:30 a.m. my time. I was still asleep in the hotel where I was to run a HM on Sunday! My phone went off and I though..What the heck?? Something must be wrong at home! LOL
I was so excited to get the notifications on Saturday for your HM and was rooting you and daughter along
I got my first notification for your HM at around the same time Sunday morning, but I was up and preparing for my HM that started at 7:00 CST. I had read on the Disney site where they had issued a Extreme weather Alert for the runners because of heat and humidity and I was very concerned for you, but you DID IT!!!

I might just go for a FM two months in a row which I have been thinking about for this summer ........... you have set the bar pretty high, haha!!
Pamper yourselves for awhile, you both deserve it!
Again, what a remarkable feat, so proud of you both!!!
Trail runner
Thank you for all the well wishes for my DH.
Justrundan: not surprising that hubby stayed 'cool' and calm during the early stages of the 'attack' and then calling me AFTER he was taken care of ......... but it was tough to hear being so far away.
We are all grateful that he made it through. He shared with me that he was more pissed than scared that it was happening to him NOW; funny how we react when we do get to personally experience such close call incidents.
girlintheorchard: He's recovering very well, in fact, doc gave him the ok to resume work today with an emphasis on a lighter schedule of patients.
Great to see him back to his old self with renewed determination to maintain a healthier lifestyle from now on.
Tried another health club yesterday.
10 minutes elliptical.
10.1 miles on TM, 1:40, using the even stephen running guide.
5 minutes cycle.
15 minutes core exercises.
Got very crowed and busy after 3 pm.
Club has nice updated machines but lacks space for personal belongings which are kept in open cubby holes or on racks by narrow entrance.
Only 2 restrooms to change in, with one shower room to be use for both M and F.
Classes in the afternoons. Staff consist of only 2 individuals and only at certain hours.
Pros: close to home and 24/7 with other sites around the country.
WDWRich: just need to become good friend with the TM for now but I prefer trail running; but I'm good an zoning out when on the TM and just get my miles in with different workouts.
Snow still around with icy roads so not taking any chances on running outside even on balmy days of 14 degrees!! Below zero temps overnights.

Pretty quiet here the last 3 days. More trouble logging in? It's highly variable for me. The other forum I participate in is changing over to RunningAHEAD and started one there, in hopes of avoiding the problems plaguing Active.
Picked up some new running shoes today at Fleet Feet, Saucony Progrid Ride 4. They felt much like the Brooks Ghost that I've been using, but were on sale for $30 less. That's good enough for me.
Run safe and strong this weekend gang.

Dan~Only time will tell when I hit the "add reply'. Able to log in all week, but not reply. FRUSTRATING! Funny you mentioned RunningAhead. I've been lurking for a few weeks looking for a possible thread to join, lots of activity over there. Sweet deal on your new Saucony's! To quote Ray Bradbury, "The magic was always in the new pair of shoes." I tried out the Brooks PureFlow 2 on the TM at my favorite running outfitters, but the "improvements" made to the original design weren't as comfortable for me. Unfortunately they no longer stocked my size in the Flow 1, So ran home, got on the net and ordered directly from Brooks. Bingo! On sale and they had my size!
Run Strong!
First off, Marie, Congrats on the Disny Goofy Challenge. Truely impressive.
Everyone else, sorry I haven't been keeping up, but you all inspire me.
Debra and Dan, more then anything I think the active servers are just SLOOOOWWWWW......I found that respnse from these servers is variable. Don't know if the setup is overly complex or what, but logging in seems to be tied to host resolution protocols (for those who know DNS resolution). I found that the slower I click the login button the more likely things are to succed. When replying as well. It appears that there are multiple servers involved and sometimes they aren't able to communicate with each other. Whatever it is, it doesn't work well. I've also been looking at runninahead and the server response times are soo much better, plus they have free run tracking. Not sure what the differences between groups and forums are, so mostly still watching. Looks like the "my last run" group is transition over and tho I haven't posted on active's version, I probably will on the runningahead forum (which seems to be different from the "my last run" group? Oh, well.
I've been on forced rest, so to speak, since Thanksgiving. Started walking yesterday (3-3.5 miles don't know exactly) and hope to do a mile on the treadmill tonight. Ortho believes I had a stress reaction (precursor to stress fracture) and said it would be ok to run a week after I was pain free. Been 10 days, so yesterday was first test (so far, so good), second test is tonight. Should know by tomorrow whether I need more time or can start ramping up...
Happy New Year!
Ray- The running ahead group that was just started by MelodyLea has all caps- 'My Last Run Was'- there is another that is 'my last run was- The folks who went over from Active are posting on the one that Melody started just this week, so a lot fewer posts. We could start something like this over there if it was necessary. (I saw 'we' loosely, not sure I'm techy enough to get it done, I'm having a hard time getting my profile done and accepted!!) I am going to use their log to keep track this year, looks very useful. Was the stress reaction in your foot? Hope all is well and you can get back on the road/treadmill soon.
Debra- New shoes on sale is always good! When I saw the difference in price, and they felt the same, there was no question which I'd buy. Glad you got the one that work best for you.
Warmer than usual today here before the arctic blast comes, but real windy. I may see if an outside run is possible, if not it will be TM again.
Great weekend running to all.

Congratulations Marie!!!! Of course you did it. I never doubted for a minute that you would because you are the Mega Mighty Master!!! So very awesome!! You are my new role model. Sorry about the toe nail but sometimes battle scars can be neat, particularly if they don't hurt. You plowed through some pretty stinky weather! Hope you were able to get some memorable moments at the parks with the grandkids, too. It's a magical place.
Kathy, you and AZ are my other role models!! Waiting to hear about your HM.
Az, your level of energy constantly amazes me! on the hunt for a gym, we may be spoiled here in Cincy but I have excellent new enormous facility for $25/mo. including group classes. There's a full ladies' locker room with sauna, showers, and TVs behind the mirrors. I don't need the TVs or sauna but I know a woman who likes to heat up her clothes in it. If you sweat a lot, it feels good to change into dry clothes before going out into the cold. Probably healthier, too. It has a movie theater filled with cardio and a totally black light spinning room. I've had all of this in smaller gyms except the theater. Tried it once and wasn't comfortable. My faves are TMs in good condition with TV, ellipticals, bikes and the rest is gravy. You should be able to find a place that offers more than cubbies unless you are not near a large urban area.
Ray, good luck with your comeback! Don't let it frustrate you. It may seem slow in the beginning, but not too soon after you get going you'll see big leaps, like when you were a newbie, you could only add 10% but now that you're conditioned and once you're body is ready you'll be able to add 25% a week. Enjoy!!
Debra and Dan, enjoy those New Shoes!! I love my Sacouny! Slipped on a really old pair of Asics one day last week just for getting around and found that night my knees hurt. I'm blaming the shoes.
Dan, you said you adjusted your Max aerobic HR up. What made you choose the new range (other than speed)? Can you tell when you're going from a training rate into an aerobic rate and your HR is getting too high (without looking)? Have you been doing this long? Have you seen any rise in your aerobic level pace? I just finished my first week and started by measuring my pace at 121 (15mm) and 127 (12:30) and then it promptly dropped. I found three calculators associated with Maffetone that give me very different results with Max aerobic HRs of 111, 121, 127 (if you interpret it differently), and 126 to 135. I prefer using the highest value but understand the thought behind staying UNDER you max aerobic HR and if it works, want to do this. I just wish I could tell when my body is doing what. Yesterday ran 8 mi. outside trying to stay in the 121-127 range. Max HR was 134. Often went through short periods of feeling slightly light headed and faint, like something odd was going on inside for about a min and then it passed. I kept wondering if that was my body's switch from burning carbs to burning fat or if it was just bc I still have a cold. does this sound familiar? I guess I could just relax bc if this doesn't work, I'll find out in two more weeks and I"m still covering ground although toward the end of yesterday's *run*, my shadow was bopping up and down more than forward. I must have looked ridiculous. Just FYI, it's slow but you might be able to stay at 126 for an hour at 3.4 on TM just adjusting the incline after you're warmed up.
Re: change over, I'll anyone with a preference and more experience decide and will follow. I contribute to My Last Run and we are talking about changing but I haven't seen any change yet. Could have missed it though. Am buried in work and trying to install kitchen at the same time. I need a hug in the worst way. Tried to get company for just one weekend outing and was rebuffed by SIX friends and got a cold shoulder from one at a group run on Sat!! I don't like feeling sorry for myself but this feels awful. I don't plan ahead bc always canceling if the weather's good to get my run in outside. The price for training is high.
Run strong and enjoy, friends!!

Snow is expected as a cold front arrives in the area Monday evening.
"It is going to be moving in this evening, probably by 6 o'clock," said meteorologist Karen Clark of the National Weather Service's regional bureau in Cleveland. "We are going to start off with rain, and then transition into snow."
The snow accumulation could be between one to three inches. This cold front will come from Canada.
"We are going to have temperatures in the 30s for the highs for Tuesday and Wednesday," Clark said.

How to Ease Your Paywall Pains
By Oracle_Media-Oracle on Oct 05, 2013
If you're in news, magazine or periodical publishing you're very likely to be operating – or at least planning – a kind of "paywall", like over 500 dailies in the US and Europe do. Introducing new payment and subscription revenue streams has become mandatory, with digital advertising revenues remaining stubbornly lower than the ad income enjoyed by print.
Consumers' pain with "paywalls" is of course that all internet content has been free for decades. So, why pay? What price? Which product bundle? Where and how to buy? Do I get "print value" (whatever that is) in digital - but with internet service benefits like hyperlinks, bookmarks, video and most of all personalized offerings? Are users willing to pay for just a replica of the print content - or a new digital experience?
Tough and game-changing questions for the publishing industry, tellingly analyzed as the digital "Newsonomics" by Ken Doctor. But while digital transformation results in structural decline of the print business, there are early signs of success and best practice on how to grow with digital content commerce and marketing. Based on successful customer insights, I'd like to share three lessons-learned on easing the most typical "paywall pains".
1. Don't build a "wall" - build a smart commerce service
There's only one learning in digital content commerce: nobody knows the best pricing and product formats yet, so business teams want to try, change and adopt in high frequency. Metered paywalls, subscriptions, try-before-buy, article buys, in-content commerce and multi-product bundles? Yes, all of them, today! What does this mean for IT and editorial teams? Don't hardcode any transaction or commerece solutions into your content management systems, and don't build IT or editorial dependencies for dynamic price and product changes.
The publishing industry has the chance to learn from telecommunication subscriber management disasters: I have seen teams struggling to maintain literally thousands of hard-coded digital product variations, just after a few years in business. A positive example is Dow Jones and Wall Street Journal, often seen as inventor of the "paywall" in 1997 with over a decade of paywall learnings. In the video linked below, former SVP of Circulation Lynne Brennen outlines how agile her business teams change pricing and bundling options of various Dow Jones products using Oracle Billing and Revenue Management solutions.
2. Prepare to lose half of your free users - by winning subscribers with modern marketing
Everybody in marketing will agree "walls" in general don't really help creating a compelling customer experience. And it's true that making the barrier as easy to pass as possible is essential. But pay models can also dramatically change the reader experience. Recent reports on The Sun's paywall launch in summer 2013 indicate the service lost 60% traffic - but won 340.000 paying subscribers in the same time, which is obviously a great start.
The good news is that modern marketing already offers mature technical solutions to drive digital revenues. Online retailers like Amazon or Ikea run dozens of different marketing backend services to drive revenue by optimizing a personal customer experience. And similar standard applications are successfully in use in media & entertainment - here with links to customers using Oracle Media & Entertainment solutions:
- Marketing Automation: Used to build a single view of each consumer, reading their "Digital Body Language" to enable personalized nurturing into new paid content offerings in a step-by-step approach.
Case study: entertainment customer Golden State Warriors increased revenue and social fan base by using Oracle Marketing Cloud (Eloqua)
- Social Relationship Management: Listening, engaging and publishing to social media is strategic for the media industry. The sceptical "ROI of social" era ended with Twitter and Facebook dominating TV & publishing conversations, and so today's agenda is to solve the "who owns the follower" challenge, implementing workflows on how content & creative, advertising, marketing and service teams all work with the same fan-base.
Case study: NBC sports achieved double digit growth in TV ratings using Oracle Social Cloud
- Content Discovery & Guided Search: To enable both hit-driven and long tail content commerce in hyper-competitive internet markets, these tools are used to deliver targeted, user-centric content experiences in a scalable, SEO-friendly way.
Case study: Various publishers and broadcasters use Oracle Commerce Experience Manager (Endeca)
- B2C Customer Management: A key business goal for digital media is building a consumer-centric organization, and modern customer management systems enable this single view on the consumer from siloed, disparate system.
Case study: Sony manages 77 mio PlayStation Customers in the Cloud (Oracle Customer Hub)
- Service Automation: Deliver multi-channel customer service at the point of content consumption, solving problems faster and at a lower cost.
Case study: The Boston Globe delivers superior service using Oracle Service Cloud (Rightnow)
- Advanced eCommerce: Used to target highly-relevant commerce offers to convert free users into paying customers and maximize up-sell and cross-sell.
Case study: Elsevier creates B2C digital content business using Oracle Commerce (ATG)
3. Digital pennies for analogue dollars - go Cloud to innovate at lower cost
Managing costs is another key challenge of the digital media transformation, as in most cases analogue revenues decline faster than digital increases - the famous "digital pennies for analogue dollars" saying. And at the same time, this financial gap is unfortunately widened by investment needs, as innovating digital content means expensive developing of new product formats, production and commerce platforms - often new IT-centric costs.
But there's good news again, as the media industry can learn from another industry: nearly all "digital natives" from Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook to Netflix and Flipboard rely on Cloud infrastructure to address similar challenges. The rational is simple: they can focus on strategic product software development, and use standard cloud software and technology platforms wherever possible - which both saves costs and enables the agile start-small go-global rollout.
The innovation behind is based on similar economies of scales that centralized our energy industry: the IT industry learned to offer super-large data centers, combined with self-service access, instant provisioning and flexible OPEX pricing. As you might have guessed by now, the Oracle Cloud (cloud.oracle.com) makes this possible for publishers, too - increasing ease-of-use (e.g. Oracle Social Cloud video) and simplifying IT (e.g. Oracle Billing and Revenue Management Cloud video).
What it means? Hands free to focus on the real challenges
Now, digital transformation is that easy? Of course not. But implementing standard technology solutions to drive consumer engagement and transactions will free management, creative and technical resources to focus on the real tough questions: mastering the cultural transformation into a digital B2C product company.

Retirement Planning

(AP) Honolulu, Nov. 26 - Josh A. Fool, 61, died tragically today in an attempt to set a world record for the consumption of Mai Tai-soaked pineapple chunks while reclining inside a roasting pig. Witnesses report a barbecue spit collapsed, sending Fool and pig into the fire. Alcohol fumes from the pineapple chunks contacted open flames, which caused an explosion that hurled Fool and pig into the lobby of an adjacent hotel. Neither survived the blast. Fool, a retired executive, left an estate estimated at $1.75 million. He is survived by his spouse, Lucky, and two adult children, Millicent and Porky.
It's unfortunate, but accidents do happen. One moment we're enjoying life to the fullest, and the next we're in another world. We never know when that mysterious moment will arrive, but as a Fool, you have prepared for that eventuality. You've seen an experienced estate-planning attorney to ensure all your affairs are in order. The will is done and necessary trusts have been established. You've anticipated everything to include potential estate and/or inheritance taxes, so the family should have no problem. They will get to keep the bulk of what you leave behind and the taxman gets nothing. That's right, isn't it, Josh? Josh? Hey, c'mon back here!
Let's face it, Fools. There are certain things we must do to protect our family and our wealth. We don't like thinking about it very often, but think about it we must. We will die. When we do, unless we have prepared for that inevitable result, we may create needless heartache and loss for those we leave behind. Estate planning is appropriate at any stage of life. It's particularly appropriate as we prepare for retirement. Therefore, let's take a quick look at things we must consider.
It's no secret that every adult needs a will. Die without one, and the state decides what happens to your property. Rarely will the state's mandate follow what you would do if you had the opportunity to act. You have that opportunity through a will. Use it. Be a Fool and see an attorney to complete one. It isn't that expensive to prepare and it ensures your property will be distributed in accordance with your wishes. Don't use a preprinted, fill-in-the-blanks form will bought from a stationery shop or created through some of the software programs available for this purpose. These are often out-of-date and may not conform to the laws of your state. That penny saved may be thousands of dollars wasted after you die. Do see an attorney. After you complete the will, ensure you review it every five years, at a minimum, to verify its validity and conformance with state law.
Be aware of what counts as an estate asset for tax purposes when you die. Basically, that's everything you own, including the face value of life insurance policies and the current value of all your retirement plans. You may pass an estate of unlimited value to your spouse at death with no unfavorable tax consequences. When that spouse dies, though, there may be some heavy taxes that cause your children to receive far less than they should. Know that is possible and prepare for it.
In 2004 and 2005, you may leave up to $1.5 million tax-free to heirs who are not your spouse. If you leave those heirs anything above that amount, the excess will be taxed. Those rates start at 37% and quickly escalate to 55% from there. Sounds like a lot, doesn't it? But count the value of your retirement plans, your home, the face value of life insurance you own, and everything else, and that amount is readily reachable by many. Couples must begin to worry about the possibility of estate tax when their combined assets approach this figure. In today's world, with two workers in the family, this level can and will be reached with some frequency. Is it time to see the lawyer? If you want to protect the kids from Uncle Sam, the answer must be a resounding yes!
What if you become incapacitated, either mentally or physically? You might want to look into a durable power of attorney granted to someone you trust, such as your spouse or an adult child. You may also want to add a medical power of attorney. Both will allow the person you select to make decisions on your behalf. Without those documents, your family will be forced to hire an attorney, go to court, and have someone appointed as your conservator and/or guardian to make decisions and conduct business on your behalf. That's a needless, time-consuming, and costly process that can be avoided with one or two inexpensive documents that an attorney can prepare today.
Lastly, you may want to execute a living will. It's a silly name for a document that really says you want the right to die a natural death free of all costly, extraordinary efforts to maintain your life when that life can only be sustained by artificial means. This document is free in virtually every hospital in the nation. It makes such decisions easier on the doctor, the hospital, and your family. Used in conjunction with a medical power of attorney, this tool can spare your family a painful, drawn-out, and costly process. If you agree with this concept, then visit your local hospital, pick up the form, complete it, and let your loved ones know where it can be found.
Estate planning encompasses much more than a will. It may be true that you can't live with lawyers, but you certainly can't die without them. Use their talents to ensure things work the way you want. Estate planning ain't a barrel of fun, but it sure is necessary. And it's definitely a heck of a lot better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
Now let's take a stab at the next step -- in shoor/ ans.

An Alleged Kidnapper's Life on Facebook
Days after police arrested Ariel Castro for allegedly holding three women captive in his Cleveland home for nearly a decade, his Facebook page lives on as an eerie remnant of the seemingly normal guy many friends and neighbors thought him to be.
The page features a photo of Mr. Castro looking happily into the camera. It portrays a bass-guitar aficionado and proud grandfather who jokingly hopes for some nice weather that will give him a chance to ride a beloved Harley-Davidson.
Created in February, Mr. Castro's Facebook account is a mix of good-natured banter about family and hobbies interspersed with prosaic spiritual affirmations like the one on May 2—four days before the escape of one of his alleged victims and her daughter led police to uncover his alleged crimes. "Miracles really do happen, God is good : )," reads the post, his last.
Mr. Castro's former neighbor Javier Marti said in an interview that the page is Mr. Castro's. He and others who know Mr. Castro have described the 52-year-old former school-bus driver as affable and unremarkable. What's left behind on his Facebook page seems to show him as a gregarious and sympathetic neighbor and friend even as, authorities allege, he was keeping the women imprisoned in his home and subjecting them to repeated rape and other abuse.
One post, dated April 11, celebrates the birth of what it says is his fifth grandchild. Another post, dated Feb. 28, reads: "This morning i woke up to the sound of a churping cardinal. Yes! come on spring!"
Mr. Castro had three groups he liked on his Facebook page. One was "We Love Chinese Cresteds," dedicated to the small-breed dog that often has carefully groomed hair falling over its eyes. The page shows pictures of the lapdog and advocates adoption of strays.
As of Friday afternoon, Mr. Castro had more than 30 Facebook friends.
Mr. Castro was accused by the mother of his children, Grimilda Figueroa, of domestic abuse, including breaking her nose twice and threatening to kill her and the children, according to a 2005 filing in Cuyahoga Domestic Relations Court seeking a civil protection order. The filing also alleges that Mr. Castro would frequently abduct his children and keep the mother away, even though she had full custody with no visitation rights for Mr. Castro.
A temporary protection order was granted in August, but the matter was dismissed without prejudice in December after Ms. Figueroa's attorney failed to appear at a hearing, according to court records.
Mr. Castro's attorney at the time declined to comment. Ms. Figueroa's attorney at the time couldn't be reached. Ms. Figueroa died in 2012.

Challengers make it back on top in softball
Winning the Southern Cascade League title seemed like a pretty bold goal this spring considering the recent history of the Cascade Christian...
KLAMATH FALLS — Rogue River senior Kevin Murphy carded a 5-under-par 67 to open the first-day lead at the Class 3A/2A/1A District 6 boys golf tournament but St. Mary's scored the best rounds overall to set a school record at Shield Crest Golf Course on Monday.
With the scoring foursome of Will Street and the Wu brothers — Dylan, Josh and Jeremy — the Crusaders combined to finish with a 289 total, five strokes better than the previous school record set last year.
"They were excited to shoot the best team score," said St. Mary's head coach Ryan Allred, "but they all felt like they also left a few strokes out there."
Josh Wu paced the team with a 2-under 70, while Dylan Wu and Street each finished at 72 and Jeremy Wu carded a 75.
Rogue River stands second in the team race entering today's final round with a 318, just three shots ahead of Cascade Christian. Max Davis shot a 1-over 73 to pace the Challengers.
The top two teams and top five individuals advance to the state tournament.
Murphy used four birdies and one eagle to offset a bogey on his front nine for a 31, then shot even-par on the back nine with two birdies and one double bogey. He holds a three-shot advantage on Josh Wu heading into today's pursuit of the individual district title, with younger brother David Murphy four shots back at 71.
Defending champion Dylan Wu will not play in today's round but would still be eligible for state next Monday and Tuesday at Emerald Valley Golf Club if the Crusaders advance as a team.
"He was injured coming into today," said Allred. "He hurt his arm a little bit doing a lot of strength training just to become a better athlete. He tweaked a muscle a little bit and wasn't at 100 percent and was kind of taking it easier today."
Brandon Chun will replace Wu in today's lineup.

Oregon State Police are investigating a fatal crash on Highway 199 south of Cave Junction that occurred Wednesday afternoon.
OSP did not release the name of the 75-year-old man who died in the accident. In addition, a 65-year-old woman suffered critical injuries in the accident, OSP said in a news release.
OSP Sgt. Jeff Proulx reported that a 2005 Dodge pickup driven by the man was heading southbound on Highway 199 near milepost 37 when it failed to round a curve.
The pickup crossed into the northbound lane and crashed head-on into a tree, OSP said.
The man, who was wearing a seat belt, was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was transported to Rogue Regional Medical Center, where she remained late Wednesday in critical condition. It is not known if the woman was wearing a seat belt, OSP said.
OSP troopers from the Grants Pass work site were assisted at the scene by the Josephine County Sheriff's Office, Illinois Valley Fire District, Mercy Flights and the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Although I consider myself current with pop culture, this is the first season I've watched "American Idol."
In years past, I've seen the last 15 minutes of some of the final shows to see who wins, but not knowing who's who, I didn't really care one way or another.
This season, mostly because I hate being left out of the water cooler conversation, I decided early on to watch every episode, from first auditions to finale, and I even hope to buy tickets to see the Top Ten Idol contestants when they go on tour this summer.

Last winter, with meager snowfall sitting atop a thin, weak base layer, Colorado was plagued by seven avalanche deaths over the course of the season.
As the powder begins to build again, experts are concerned this winter's snowpack may be set up the same way, but with more snow to fuel potential slides.
"It's a pretty similar pattern with the dry start to both seasons," Colorado Avalanche Information Center deputy director Brian Lazar said. "What we did was create these really weak layers of snow at the base of our snowpack, and then capped it with a lot of snow, more this year than last year."
That means avalanches could be bigger than they were at the same time last season, but just as easy to trigger.
There have been no avalanche fatalities in Colorado yet this winter, but there have been several incidents of people caught and buried in slides across the state.
Last year, the first of seven total deaths did not occur until mid-January.
"If there's any difference it's that we're probably creeping up in terms of the size of the avalanches this year compared to last year," Lazar said. "But, thus far, they haven't been any less sensitive to triggering. They're still pretty touchy."
Most of Summit County is sitting under a foot of fresh snow from the last week's storms, nudging the avalanche danger rating to "Considerable" the third on a five-tiered scale, according to CAIC reports.
West and northwestern winds have formed wind slabs on northwest-, east- and southeast-facing aspects at and above treeline, which remain easy to trigger on slopes of 35 degrees, the report stated.
"We like people to educate themselves on current snowpack conditions - how likely avalanches are to trigger and what size they might be - by staying up to date on avalanche advisories," Lazar said. "Even close to a ski area, if you're not in an area that's controlled, you're in the backcountry and you should always be traveling with a beacon, a shovel, a probe and, most importantly, your brain and common sense."
Though experts always advise caution, the risk of triggering an avalanche is considerably higher in the backcountry. Most local ski resorts carefully monitor and treat the snowpack within their boundaries to prevent in-bounds slides.
At Copper Mountain, ski patrollers use a variety of tactics to prevent avalanches, including blasting loose snow, breaking up or poking holes in slabs in areas that are known to be risky and packing down snow in strategic places either by walking or skiing on it.
"We are able to affect the starting zones so snow never gets to that really unstable state where ... all it's waiting for is a trigger," Copper ski patrol foreman Toby Cruse said. "We have a pretty darn good system of redundant safety measures. It's not one person making decisions, it's a whole bunch of people."
An average of 25 people die in avalanches in the United States every year, an estimated 80 percent of them of asphyxiation.
Though there's plenty of air in the snow to breathe, the buried victim will soon begin to use up all the oxygen in the snow around his or her mouth, replacing it with carbon dioxide. Unable to move, victims can asphyxiate in minutes.
"The single biggest factor for us in terms of saving a life or not saving a life is the time of burial," Joe Ben Slivka, a Summit County Rescue Group mission coordinator, told the Summit Daily in a previous interview.
If pulled from the snow in under 18 minutes, a victim has a better than 90 percent chance of survival. After approximately half an hour, that chance for survival shrinks to 34 percent. More than 90 minutes after the initial burial, it is unlikely the victim will be found alive at all.

ALAMEDA -- Raiders coach Dennis Allen likes a charitable cause as much as the next guy, but made it clear Monday he wasn't thrilled with the idea of his players risking injury in a benefit basketball game involving the San Francisco 49ers.
A handful of Raiders players, including free safety Tyvon Branch, cornerback Taiwan Jones, wide receiver Denarius Moore, cornerback Chimdi Chekwa, linebacker Sio Moore, wide receiver Greg Little, running back Latavius Murray and wide receiver Brice Butler, participated in the event at California High in San Ramon last Thursday.
"It is the right intent, to raise money for charity,'' Allen said. "I wasn't in agreement with the way in which they went about doing it, because they're paid to play football. Any time you put that at risk, you're taking a significant risk.''
Money went to several Bay Area charities, including foundations by Branch and Jones.
Players were informed of management's concerns about the event and potential injury. Some players, whose names were initially linked with the event, including offensive tackle Menelik Watson, running back Darren McFadden and running back Maurice Jones-Drew, ended up not participating.
Cornerback DJ Hayden, currently sidelined with a right foot sprain, attended the game but did not play.
"These are grown men and they make decisions on what they want to do with their personal time, and that was a decision those guys took part in,'' Allen said. "The thing I'm happy about is we were able to get out of it without any injuries.''
Branch saw the game as an opportunity to give back to the community and said, "I guess it's at your discretion what you want to do in the offeseason. We understand the risks involved in working out. Any time you're working out away from the facility you're putting yourself at risk. Guys do that they have to do to stay in shape. Everybody does it differently.''
The Raiders won the game 71-63, there were no security issues, and players mingled with fans for autographs and photographs afterward.

The temperature is rising...and so are the gas prices.
The cost of filling up has jumped nearly 20 cents over the last two weeks.
And there's no relief as we head into summer.
The Energy Department released estimates today that the average this summer will be $2.62 a gallon--25 cents higher than last year.
AAA puts today's nationwide price average at $2.68 a gallon; $2.60 is the average in our area.
Gas Price Outlook
Summer 2006: $2.62
Summer 2005: $2.37
Current Averages: (AAA)
Nationwide: $2.68
Augusta: $2.60
Local cab drivers say high gas prices are cutting into their profits and making it hard for them to operate.
Bryan Hyman of Radio Cab has been driving cabs on and off for about 20 years.
For him there is no way around the gas prices; he has to fill his tank everyday.
"Definitely I think they are too high," Hyman says.
Ronald Parker says his 12 hour days are sometimes extended to 16 hours just to help make ends meet.
Each time he tops off his tank, it's $40.
"You have to fill up from once or twice a day sometimes," he says.
Since gas prices are expected to rise even more, cab drivers say it's only going to make it harder to make ends meet. Some of them will have to give up the job altogether.
"It makes it hard to make a profit and it keeps you out here a little longer," Parker says.
"I just work a few extra hours to try and make up the money," says Hyman.
And $80 a day, five days a week can be expensive.
Some cab drivers are hoping that city commissioners will help them out with a rate increase.
"Each time the gas goes up, the cost comes to us," Parker says.
"I know the customers won't like it or approve of it, but I think if it goes as much higher as it is now they should consider it," Hyman says.
Putting in longer hours and less time with the family may be the only solution to help cab drivers like Ronald Parker and Bryan Hyman make a profit.
Some analysts say a $3 per gallon gas price is possible this summer if there are any unusual disruptions.
Prices spiked last year after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

Directions from Watkins Glen to Shangri-La II
If you're coming to the "Night of NASCAR Stars" at the Concrete Castle directly from the Zippo 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Watkins Glen International, here's the shortest and quickest way.
Leave the Glen on County Road 16 east- that's the main road to and from the track. Go straight at the Route 414 light and down the hill into Montour Falls. Getting through Montour is the only tricky part of the trip. Turn right at the bottom of the hill, take the first left by the old courthouse, straight through downtown, left at the light on Route 14 North, right on Route 224 after one block..
There may still be bridge repair on Route 224 on the edge of Momtour Falls. Then it's a clean shot up the hill, through the notorious speed trap of Odessa (if the sign says 30, go 30) and out into the country. If you need gas or goodies, the intersection of Route 13 is the best spot. You've got about 20 miles of scenic country road until you get to Van Etten, where Route 224 becomes Route 34 North. Three miles later in Spencer it becomes Route 96 South. Just keep going straight at both points.
One mile past the stop sign in Spencer, look for Halsey Valley Road on the right- it's just past the golf driving range. Turn right and enjoy another scenic road for a dozen miles, but be careful. It's twisting all the way and in the hamlet of Halsey Valley watch for pedestrians, especially children. At the stop sign in Tioga Center, turn left, go a mile up the hill, and you're at Skyline Drive, the main entrance to Shangri-La II.
The distance track-to-track is 42 miles. Driving time is under an hour.... how much under an hour depends on you. Drive carefully and enjoy the races at both ends of your trip.

What is Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and how is it spread?
HIV is the virus that causes the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). You can become infected with HIV by the exchange of blood, semen and vaginal secretions with a person infected with the virus, such as by having sex or sharing needles. Pregnant women infected with HIV can also pass the virus to their babies at birth or shortly after through their breast milk. HIV attacks our body's immune system so that we are less able to fight off germs and diseases.
What are the symptoms of HIV?
On the average, for the first 7 to 10 years of HIV infection, there are no symptoms. When symptoms first appear, they will vary from person-to-person. Some of the symptoms that many people experience in early HIV disease are: night sweats, fever, extreme unexplained weight loss, persistent diarrhea, fatigue (tiredness), nausea, vomiting, swollen lymph glands, headaches, and persistent dry cough. The last stage of HIV disease is AIDS, in which many life-threatening infections can cause serious disability and/or death. There is no cure for HIV infection.
How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?
HIV may cause symptoms any time from the time of infection up to 10 years later or even longer. This will vary from person to person. Many people confuse the length of time HIV takes before causing symptoms with the length of time it takes for the HIV antibody test to become positive which is 3-6 months after exposure.
How long can an infected person carry the virus?
A person infected with the virus will carry it in varying amounts in the body for the rest of his/her life.
How do you test for HIV?
The test for HIV is a blood test which determines if the body has had an immune response to the virus. It takes a while for the body to produce such a response. Three months after infection, the test is 90% accurate. After 6 months, the test is 95% accurate. If you feel that you have been exposed to the virus, you may consider getting an HIV test after 3 months. For peace of mind, you could have another test done in another 3 months. If you are constantly putting yourself at risk, having a test done every 6 months is recommended.
How is HIV infection treated?
Quite often no treatment is needed in the early stages. However, there are now a number of drugs used to slow down the disease. When a person has AIDS, there are many drugs used to treat the various diseases that can invade the body. A person with HIV infection should talk to a doctor or other health care provider about treatment options.
How can HIV infection be prevented?
Since the virus is passed ONLY through four body fluids, the best way to prevent HIV infection is to not come in contact with the blood, semen, vaginal fluids, or breast milk of an infected person. Abstinence (not having sex, not sharing needles) is the only 100% sure way to prevent infection. There is no vaccine to prevent HIV. If abstinence is not practiced, monogamy with a person who does not have HIV infection is the best way to avoid becoming infected. Monogamy means having a long term, faithful sexual relationship with one partner who is also faithful to you. After these two ways, safer sex is best. Safer sex means using a condom for anal, oral, or vaginal sex. If you share needles (for drugs, steroids, tattoos, or body piercing), clean your needles. If you are infected, notify your sex partners and needle sharing partners immediately so they can be tested.
If you have any Other questions on HIV/AIDS or any sexually transmitted disease, please call the Virginia STD/AIDs Hotline: (800) 533 - 4148

well on week 2 allready but still love to join in on the fun!! im 45 over weight. want to lose some weight and hopefully gain a new hobby here.
Well shoot. My plans may have gotten derailed a bit. I forgot my husband isnt' available Tuesday evenings to hang out with the kiddos. He teaching a class at our local community college, and Tuesdays are his prep days, after a long day of work at his regular job (teaching is an evening class outside his regular job). SOOOO, hmm. Still trying to figure out it it'll work. I'll keep ya posted though! I'm hoping to get a deal in the works with a college age girl who loves my kids and wants piano lessons...thinking I could swap lessons for babysitting and have a pretty sweet deal.
Still going to try and get a run in tonight, but we'll see. :?
Good job, those of you who've ran, and a big welcome to those who've joined us. I'm loving that we're all in the same position - wanting to get healthy and lose weight. For what it's worth, when I did this 2 years ago, I combined running w/ Weight Watchers and lost 30 pounds in 6 months.....and then got pregnant again. LOL Ah well, it was nice to not have that 30 pounds when the baby started making her presence known.
Nice work, everyone! Keep it up!
Jenn / BradenMommyof5
I just started this week as well!! Glad to see so many other people doing it too. My name is Alexis, I'm 23 and looking to get into shape. I'm aiming to run a 5k this december and a 10kby my birthday in April!
I did it! I ran the first time and didn't fall! I came so close to giving up after the 4th time of running. So glad I kept with it. My
left heel started to both me. I had plantar facitis 5 years ago so want to be careful. I might go back to the running store
tomorrow and see about getting some new inserts. Anyway, this is so great that people are joining in. Jenn, thank you for
getting us going. I will probably be changing my running days to Mon and Wed cause Tuesdays are usually crazy
for me. I have to say I was sort of self concious...being 56, fat and awkward running at the park...but oh well.
I did it and am proud of it!!
Has everyone checked out the "Resources" tab on your Active.com Community toolbar? It has some great tools - running logs, all kinds of calculators (BMI, heart rate, ect.), you can even track how many miles you run on your shoe! They've done a nice upgrade since I was on here a year or two ago. I don't about you all, but I love being able to log tangible PROOF when I get out for a run!
I didn't get my run in today, it just wasn't in the cards. REALLY hoping to get going though, I just gotta figure out how to make it work with five littles. I thought I had it, but obviously didn't. On to plan B....whatever that is! ha ha
Good job everyone!
Jenn / BradenMommyof5
Congrats to you Shelly!! Sometimes the hardest part is just that first run.
You're lucky to have a park to run in and in no time you'll be waving at other runners and maybe even overtaking them
I did W2D2 today. I was feeling quite smug at the half-way mark and thinking maybe I'd try to carry on a bit longer after the 90 seconds. No chance! Coming back was much harder than going out though I think I could have done one more run (well, jog). And I even resisted the temptation to buy beer at the convenient shop across the road from my house But isn't it a nice feeling to flop down in front of the telly physically rather than mentally exhausted?
I've been pounding up and down a reasonably busy road near my house. I think my first goal is to feel confident that I can keep going a few minutes at a time so I'm not too embarassed to run in my local park where I'll almost certainly meet people I know
great job psammead!! im doing W2D2 tomorrow morning myself. i run around a little lake witch is 2.5 mls around it. and good part is no stores between me and the lake so no beer stops good job to all this week so far lets all of us keep it up.
I did it! Started yesterday as planned. It felt great - more so mentally than physically! I was very happy I did the first work out and did it completely. But - wow - I am out of shape. Amazing how a 60 second run can wear you out. Not sore today as I expected, so I am looking forward to tomorrow.
Ha ha Loving reading through the posts of those of you who are "hiding" when you run. The first time I did this, I ran in our local cemetery! LOL We lived close to a community college, and I HATED running past all the young kids, wheezing, red faced but not running fast at ALL. ha ha It was a good 2 months before I felt confident enough to run where people could actually see me. ha ha
Still haven't started but I think I have a deal worked out with my college friend. Hoping to start either tomorrow or Saturday, Lord willing.
Great job everyone!
Jenn / BradenMommyof5
Day 2 run done - yea! My heel seems ok...this time ran on the treadmill...think that's better than the
park right now. Feels more anonymous. Needs to stretch more. So will head to the resources
page. Love reading the posts. Today at work I used a soda can to roll under my foot like the
guy at the running store said to do...will do it again tonight. Ok...on to Day 3 of week 1 on
Sunday. Yea!!
Completed W1D2 today!! I run on a path alongside a very busy road. There are actually a lot of runners in my neighborhood so I was nervous at first but then I thought, who cares?! I'm out and I'm getting active, thats whats most important. I was SO sore the day after my first run, and I was still pretty sore today. But all of that went away after I ran, I didn't feel sore at all. It started raining during the end of my run and I felt pretty epic, like I was Rocky or something
Looking forward to W1 D3 on Sunday! The BF and I are celebrating our anniversary by going on a nice hike Saturday morning. Hopefully that doesn't make me too sore!
Congrats to everyone, keep it up!
well completed week 2 now. gonna start up week 3 monday cause gf and I are doing a 4 mile walk for breast cancer awareness saturday morning. Well good to see everbody doing good. keep it up!!
Count me in, I started on Tuesday and did w1r2 yesterday. I am 41 years old woman and trying to get back into running after quite a long break, this is my second attempt this year as I injured my knee by overdoing it (starting at week 3 and as it felt good at the time running for 20 minutes straight in week 4). And as I am suffering from a little knee soreness after only 2 runs I might be doing this very slowly, but I am determined to do this and hopefully become a runner for life (thats the plan anyway).
You and I are at the same stage, Cheeseheads86. I did W2D3 this morning. My app restarted after about 10 minutes which was a bit annoying - I was feeling very smug about how easy a jog was and then I was told to walk for 5 minutes . In good news, I went a different way from normal (gosh, I just said that going running was normal ) and I found a tiny little park I didn't know about. I think I might just run round and round that - it will only take about two minutes (it really is tiny) but it made me feel like a proper runner to be on grass.
Week 3 looks quite a big jump - not completely confident about being able to run for three minutes at a time but I guess it doesn't have to be very fast running...

The Marietta Times
For those looking for some lip-smacking, award-winning barbecue and some sweet music, downtown Marietta is the place to be this weekend.
In its third year, the Brick Street BBQ, held to benefit the Colony Theatre Restoration project, will take place in the Parking Partners lot on Second Street Friday and Saturday.
Known in barbecue circles as a big deal, the event is the first leg of the Ohio Barbecue Triple Crown series. The head cook of each team must be a member of the Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS) and a team must cook at each of the three Ohio events - in Marietta, Kettering and Nelsonville - to be considered for the championship and a chance to compete in some of the bigger KCBS sanctioned events.

"This is a qualifying contest," said Kevin Black, owner of Blacksmith Barbecue, an Ohio Triple Crown committee member and a competitor in this year's event.
Black, who placed 11th overall last year, is one of a handful of local competitors on the circuit. Cowboy Dan (Dan Warren) placed third overall last year and Brutus and Company, run by Dave Smith and Doug Young, placed 27th their first time out.
As someone who is also qualified to judge when he is not competing, Black said the rules of the competition require strict cooking methods.
"There is no electric and no gas allowed," he said. "Cooks have to use all-natural wood or charcoal."
Some of the things the judges will look for include the smoky flavor, texture and spice-to-meat ratio.
"The meat has to be appropriately cooked and properly spiced and sauced ... you should still taste the meat and it shouldn't be like chewing on a rubber band."
The public will have a chance to purchase tickets to sample the goods.
A donation of $5 is also suggested to gain entry but since the event is on city property, it isn't required. Still, the Brick Street BBQ serves as fundraiser for the restoration project, which is nearing a very crucial stage.
"We are right there knocking on the door," said Hunt Brawley, director of the Hippodrome/Colony Historical Theatre Association. "We have actually started to ask for bids on the plaster work (removal of the old and installation of new), which will be starting in July."
As part of the process, the old seats from the theater will be removed and be available for purchase by anyone who is interested. More information will be available at the barbecue event.
The schedule of entertainers includes the Sweetback Sisters from Brooklyn, New York, who have appeared on Mountain Stage and Prairie Home Companion and have recently played with Loretta Lynn and the Punch Brothers. The Ohio Valley Opry from McConnelsville will also be on hand Saturday night and organizers are hoping Mother Nature will cooperate this year.
"Last year's turnout on Friday was fantastic but then on Saturday it rained," said Brawley. "We brought in about $5,000 but we could easily bring in $10,000 to $15,000 with good weather."
According to the National Weather Service, there is a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms each day, with highs expected in the mid-80s.

1. Kamakura: 23:27
The temples we visited were very beautiful, and thanks to the backstory they shared and the extra information I downloaded to my iPAQ the night before, I was able to really appreciate the places we visited. =) The guides were amazed by the amount of information on my PDA. They laughed when I mentioned things they'd forgotten, and seemed flattered that I'd prepared so much. It was a good idea! =)
Pictures up at http://www.kathychua.kom.ph/sacha . Lots of pictures this time! I filled my whole memory card. I didn't upload all the pictures taken, but the sheer quantity I had to choose from probably increased the chances of my having at least one good shot, right?
I bought a bright red parasol. Although it's made of paper, it keeps out light drizzles pretty well. Yes, I know, I already have an umbrella, but a _bright_ _red_ Japanese umbrella will probably look nice in pictures. My traffic-yellow jacket looks a bit out of place with it, though. If I find a nice black trenchcoat in the second-hand stores a friend told me about... <impish grin>

Crews Monitor New Seffner Sinkhole
Published: Sunday, March 24, 2013 at 11:16 a.m.

SEFFNER | Hillsborough County Fire Rescue continues to monitor a sinkhole that opened up between two homes in Seffner on Saturday.
The hole is located between two homes on Lake Shore Ranch Drive.
It is 8 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep.
Crews had evacuated the homes as a safety precaution.
However, residents are now allowed back inside.
Crews on the scene said the hole didn't appear to be affecting the homes as of right now.
This sinkhole is two miles from the massive depression that opened under a home last month and killed one man.

Today I just ran w3d3 and am going for w4d1 but noticed that I will be running a lot more compared to week 3 yikes! Was it hard for those of you who went through that?
I did w4d1 yesterday morning and was shocked at how easy it was. I breezed through the first 3 and was tired at the end of the first 5. I pushed through the second 3 and struggled with the second 5 (took about a 1 min. walk break then ran to the end). I did not expect to do that well. Hoping by the end of the week I can push through all 4 runs.
I am actually starting week 9 today but I thought I'd mention to you that I ened up doing week 3 twice.
When I looked ahead to week 4 and saw that there was more running involved, I decided to do week 3 again so I was sure my body (knees) would be ready for the longer runs. I wasn't on a timeline so I wanted to let myself do any weeks over that I needed to. (I ended up doing two of the weeks twice).
How did it go for you sapphiregal? I have run Week Four five times now and I still am not sure if I should move on to Week Five or not. For me usually the first run of a week goes okay, the second run is awful and the third is better, but on Week Four every one has been miserable.
Started C25K December 4th, 2011
Completed: W5D2 (4x)
Going to do D1W4 tonight. I will let you know how it goes.
I was pleased. It wasn't a breeeze, and it is a step up...but it is definitely "doable" if you have been following the program. They have very cleverly designed the plan to challenge you - but not scare you. You feel ridiculously good about accomplishing each new section....especially if you are like me and haven't really exercised significantly for any sustained period in the past 35 years.
I'm on my 4th or 5th time trying to get through this program and week 4 is what has stymied me every time. I just hit week four again and did day 1 today. It felt like I was trying to breathe/gasp my lungs straight out of my mouth and my shoes had been filled with cement lol. I am the slowest jogger ever, probably not much faster than my walk so I can't slow down to make it better. BUT, I finished all 4 runs (barely). I'll probably do this week over a couple times to see if I can get through it and push forward since I don't have a specific date I need to get finished by. Gotta do it!!! I lost a lot of weight jogging and since quitting again I have put 30 back on. Blech!!!
i completed it last week and started week 5 day 1 yesteday. i was one that cried in week 2 so i can tell you how easy it was . im late in answering as i am new here, but wanted to post. great job!
Hey everyone! Im now at W7D1 - 25min run! How are you all doing? Im feeling great but is still tough to keep on running the complete 25 minutes! Will I ever get used to it and get to the point where it is EASY to run the whole 25 minutes!?!? How long would that take??
