maggie I wouldn't stop the treadmill completely but I would make sure you use the settings that change it up so that you are not going the same pace all the time. Go up hill and fast and slow etc. Also I would vary your workout and use other machines. Stair steppers seem to have gotten a lot better and appear to be real climbers now . Also elliptical is another choice and the cycling classes. Variety is the spice of life. But...most important do not leave off weight training ! Make sure you lift weights. That is the key to no injuries. c

Hi folks -- Yes, we've been a spam magnet the last few days! What mimi is talking about are the posts, that spambots will drop in mass quantities onto the forums. Lately, they are in a foreign language or they are advertising astrology or love spells. We try and block them via IP addresses and other filters, but sometimes they still manage to slip through our Spidey webs. If you see them, just click on the flag in the top corner of the post and I'll delete them asap. Sushipup has been a major spam assassin this week and has probably worn out that little flag. Thanks, Sushi!

ohhh funny never thought of that! I will say something goofy is up with this flower bed, I planted the same plants through out and only a couple things grew on the left side and the ones that did are all stunted (minus the paperwhites, they did fine no matter where I put then in the yard) The morning glory vine, sweet pea, allysum, and gomphrena all grew on one side only and the nasturtium looks like a curly version of itself on the goofy left side of the bed. Something else is coming up in that flower bed, but not sure what it is, but there is one on both sides. I know I put some other bulbs in there beside the paperwhites, but I cant remember what, hopefully whatever it is both side will grow nice! I think the left side got way less sun at the time of planting, I pruned the crape myrtle near by then some allysums started to try and grow on the left, but that left side goes to shade sooner than the right side once the sun starts to set so it might be a case of only part sun plants on the left and full sun to the right. If that is the case at least I learned that with seeds and not with real plants! Now watch in the summer that whole area will be a blaze with full sun and I will have planted part sun plants that are gonna crisp!!! never ending learning when it comes to a garden!
