Please, August, do not taunt- it's BFPs that we want!

I might hate the bike rides sometimes but they are definitely working. I've gone from 218 to 213 in a little over a week . Hopefully I'll be under 200 in no time.

That is great!! It is such a good exercise, you really can't go wrong!

Off topic, but for the ladies on here to run, do you have a favorite pair of running shoes? Mine are getting worn out and I can't decide on a new pair!

Amanda - It really depends on your foot/gait/distances/etc... but I really do recommend going to a place that will do an analysis for you.

I thought I needed a support cushion shoe, like an Asics. Turns out I need a neutral shoe. With my foot, I love love love the Nike Pegasus. I still get shin splints, but they are tolerable now. Before they were debilitating!

Oh and they also made a custom insole for me. The Pegasus will only last 500 miles, but the insole with be good for 1000+ minimum, so I can reuse them with my next shoe.

Oh fun, I love road trips and weddings!
Lovely picture I want to change mine but dh doesn't want his face on bnb so you ladies will have to fb stalk instead!

After a lot of debating, I just bought the pegasus 29's!

What color are they?! Mine were the obnoxious blue ones! I love them!

AFM: Day 3 of headache, I asked my dh to get me aspirin yesterday he comes home with 80 mg stuff.
Another off topic question. We are thinking about possibly getting a new vehicle. Let's just say excited is an understatement. We are thinking either a chevy equinox or a rendezvous. Any suggestions? We are looking a a small to mid size suvs, maybe by the time we get it we will be able to buy a car seat!

They're probably the same, haha, almost tiffany blue with white trim.

If I had the ability to buy a car right now, the SUV I would get is the Nissan Murano. I love love love them! I also like (and have always loved) the Subaru Outbacks. The new models are really sport utility looking.

I think Kara has one! You should ask what she thinks.

My in-laws just got a new one (well it's a 2010, but like brand new!), and it is awesome!!! I want sooo bad! I also like the Honda Pilot for larger SUV sizes.

Here are my Pegasus's:
Me and Roxy relaxing after our run:



ETA: Stupid sideways picture....

 

[Cowgirl07]

If we get one, it won't be brand new, but it will be a lot newer the the 97 century I drive now But dh said after crops and calves go we will look into a new more reliable ride for me.

Mine is a 2013 (but same body style) and its great. I really couldn't recommend it more!

My Pegasus's are a bit lighter than yours. Let me hunt down a link of the color I got...

Getting a new car is exciting! I am still so freaking happy with my new ford fusion. I hadn't had my own car in about 3 years and the car we have is horrible. It is a 91 toyota corolla hatch back that DH mainly uses as a work car so it is trashed. Plus it's stick and I hate driving stick. I will if I have to but I'd prefer not to.

I always thought about getting into running. I am way to out of shape to really go all out but I would do the couch 2 5k program. I am way 2 embarrassed to run outside so I never really started.

I definitely know that feeling, and couldn't tell you how amazing it is once you start running. The hardest part is getting out of the house and taking the first steps. I had to keep telling myself that even though it was hard and it sucked at first, I was still doing better than everyone else who was sitting at home! Riding a bike is great exercise too, and I think you will find it to be just as satisfying and good for you!

I have a realllly slow day at work and I am awfully bored. It is only 11am and I am going slightly batty already. There are so many other things that I could be doing right now, haha. I need to run so many errands that sitting at work doing nothing is making me go insannneee.

 

[NDTaber9211]

I really am loving the bike. My legs aren't loving is as much though . Our bike rides are turning into bonding time for DH and I. He looks forward to the bike rides more then I do .

I keep forgetting about the time differences for all of us. I don't run anymore my knees aren't good after 3 years of running, 4 miles or more in high school. Plus cheering was hard on them too. I don't know what they called it but my knee cap twists. So I content myself with walking and riding.

It is hard on the body... I ran cross-country in high school and everytime I stop running for a while and start again, I end up with nasty bursitis in my hip and knee. I had a bad hip injury in 2011 and it took FOREVER to recover.

I finally learned how to slowly increase my runs... I'll have to remember that after baby is here!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Yeah I was in cross country too, it was so hard on my body. I skipped afs for up to 3 months at a time. But when we trained we ran up to 10 miles. My senior year is when it got bad, luckily I still did well its just practice that did me in. My knee cap will slide on the bone of my leg so they told me after that not to much running and no more on roads it has to be a softer surface.

I had the same problem with my knee caps which is why I quit paying soccer and basketball.
