You keep going, girl . . . I have no idea why some people can't recognize success and happiness when they see it!

I agree with you 100% - our blogging community is great. There are so many wonderfully supportive and inspiring people. I just love it. Thanks for being one of them!

2010-02-06T14:10:43.807-06:00

I used to have a "friend" like that who was always negative, and it was my husband who pointed out that friends wouldn't say those things if they truly were your friend.

I talked to this person on a daily basis, was always there for her. When we moved an hour away, I never heard from her again! Because I was no longer convenient to her.

I hope your run went great today!! Our sun is shining, but its cold - 25 degrees, and the snow is dirty and ugly again. :(

Hai there,

Answering your question: yes I wear a monitor. I just recently bought a Garmin Forerunner (comes with a monitor also) but I only use that for running outside. I already had a Polar heart rate monitor before that and I still use that in the gym. In fact in my gym it's a rule you wear one. If you don't have one, you can buy it there.

At fitness I try to stay within the zones but don't do that at running otherwise I probably would be walking :lol: but I believe if I train on the right rate in the gym eventually it will pay off in my running.

I would *totally* run if I could! I will have to live it vicariously through you for now... so thanks for running that 5K for me! :)

Seriously, I am stoked for you and am cheering you on!

You're pretty incredible- looking FORWARD to running. I'm not there yet...but I look forward to the same feelings! Congrats, Tina!

I can't believe POD didn't win, either (lol). No, seriously, congratulations to Tina and best of luck to you on your run. What an accomplishment!

I can't believe I didn't win. LOL

2010-02-05T17:12:23.501-06:00

I can't believe I didn't win.
*LOL*

2010-02-05T15:03:08.428-06:00

I know those people and I really believe they are just using those excuses to have a reason to NOT exercise. I think I WAS one of those people, but you know you are awesome so forget them!

I love my Nike+, I'm totally addicted to it!

I'm so excited I was the winner. Thanks so much Sh...

2010-02-05T14:45:38.804-06:00

I'm so excited I was the winner. Thanks so much Shelley!

I don't know why people have to be so negative but there's a lot of jealousy on the weight loss front and I've lost more than one friend over it.

Good luck with your run this weekend. I hope the rain stops here one day as well!!

2010-02-05T13:39:16.440-06:00

I'm sorry you had to have someone rain on your very successful and beautiful parade. It is so nice to have a supportive community out here in the blog world.

2010-02-05T11:26:47.435-06:00

Good luck with your run, Shelley! I'll be thinking of you. Don't let Cruella (or Cruello) get you down - "they're just jealous," as my mom would always say.

2010-02-05T11:03:01.357-06:00

Enjoy your run tomorrow!
Running can be bad for your knees but usually only if you already have bad knees. I've never had any problems what so ever when I ran. Yes in the beginning when I didn't have the right shoes on.

So just go out there and enjoy it!

Don't let that "friend" bring you down about your running.
Enjoy your run tomorrow! I agree with the others shes just jealous of all your accomplishments.

2010-02-05T08:12:50.314-06:00

YOU are definitely one of the bloggers I am so glad to have "met" Shelley. I am definitely in your fan club. I have some acquaintances who are like that about my exercise too so my solution (if I like them) is to just refuse to discuss that with them. You know it's sort of like avoiding religion or politics at a dinner party. Hope you have a great run tomorrow!

2010-02-05T07:49:17.546-06:00

Some miserable people just aren't happy unless they can make everyone else around them miserable, too. Make sure you stay away from that person in the future. She's a happiness suck-dryer. You don't need her or her negative b.s. in your life! Plus, I'm pretty sure she is JEALOUS of you and what you have accomplished. Too bad, so sad for her.

2010-02-05T06:01:07.604-06:00

I hate running. It's not fun, the "girls" bounce way too much and other things jiggle...a lot. Couple that with a bad foot/ankle and bad back and well, running seems like the worst possible use of my time. Of course, now that I'm embarking on the road to healthy, I kind of have this thought way in the back of my brain that I could eventually run a 5K. If the mere thought of me running a 5K is in my head, then I KNOW you can, without a doubt, actually run a 5K in three weeks! You're gonna be a rock star!
