Kim I LOVE this pace calculator, but I am not sure it is exactly what you are looking for:

Congrats on your weight loss, too!
Dave Sending you
and
for the issues with your DD9. We have been through so much with DD18, starting before she was 2. If you ever need someone to talk to, please please send me a PM. We have learned so much over the years, but something her daycare director told us when she was a toddler really kept us going: The qualities you find difficult in her now are the very same qualities you will admire in her when she is an adult. Small consolation when we wondered whether wed let her live until she was an adult. But it really does help to put things into perspective and with Jenn it has all come true she is strong-willed, determined, confident in her beliefs, independent and ultimately, has the sweetest heart you can imagine. What was so hard for us was that she would recover from the meltdown and go on as if it never happened and we were building up resentment and distance. It was so amazingly helpful to have experts around to help us get past that. It was also really hard to imagine how it was all impacting DS who is 5 years younger, but you know what? That had its positives, too. Okay, that is probably so much more than you needed to hear, but I hope you can see the positives in your DD and understand that it is hard for her, too when she has a meltdown. And if it is any consolation, just think of how proud you can be of how beautifully behaved and polite she was at the WISH dessert party. She really did you proud.
Laurie I hope you are feeling better today. Sending
Judy Sooo excited to know youll need a SCREAM TEAM for the Donald next year! May I apply for the job?
How is Charlies training going?
Dena That was one amazing post! How do you find the energy? As if we werent already impressed by the fact that you exercised ½ of the days in January!
So glad you had that special time with DD. You are teaching her such great things already at this young age, to appreciate being outside and active!
BTW, Lisa, Lynnda & Dena Keeping all of you in my prayers, especially for smooth pregnancies and effortless deliveries!
Chernabog WOW! Awesome pace and endurance. I am thrilled to hear that even you had a hard time sustaining for 2 minutes at first. It gives me hope!
Kristi Do you realize that you walk faster than many runners? How awesome! Great job on beating this weeks time by 2 minutes!
Mel I had to laugh at the navy blue with stars thing. I cant quite figure out who was more likely to have painted them for you the wild todd or your really cool teen!
Then I thought that maybe Jeff painted them for you!
And thank you for your wise words, Mel. I look at how much weight you have lost and kept off and how fit you are and you really are a role model for me, sweetie!
dkp Thanks again for your support. And I dont expect to ever see this doctor again. Now that I know there is no pulmonology issue (though I am definitely supposed to work on breathing patterns when I run the tests were done on a bike, NOT the TM as Id hoped), I wont be dealing with him ever again. (Where is that brush-off smilie?
)
Kathy I am so glad to see you here! How are things going with the new PT working on your shoulder? I am really excited that you are registered for the Mickey next year! It will be a blast! I hope all goes smoothly for Erin in her recovery. Just remember that for some reason the pain spikes at day 7 but then gets much better. Give Erin a hug for me! Oh, and Howard registered for the Goofy too and will be very psyched to hear that Lynne did already!!!
Craig Your schedule sounds grueling! Good luck and I think that just keeping up with that will be a great workout! Oh, and come May 19, not only will you be done with your grueling schedule but youll be packing to head to a happy place, right?
Mike - awesome time and distance. See, most people would have used the weather as an excuse NOT to get in that run, instead of doing it early to be sure not to miss it. That is so outrageously awesome!
Jackie Arent new miles the best?!?!?!? And you ran for 6 minutes AT THE END!?!?!?! The rest of the day should be a cakewalk, right?
Terri keeping your pod appt in my prayers. How does your achilles feel these days? Are you seeing any improvement? Does the pod have you on crutches or otherwise taking it easy? Thinking of you, sweetie, and sending prayers and
Carole great workout! Sorry you are doing a 12-hour shift today. I hope it isnt too exhausting.
Jim It sounds like things are really bad in Central Florida, weather-wise. I hope you and yours are safe and sound (and dry and not without power)
. She has some behavioral/emotional "issues" that I'd really not go into here, but we have been seeking professional help. Anyhow, sometimes there are blowups/meltdowns that really, really are just draining. I didn't get any training in on Wendesday.
and my DR thought that was amazing, and your 65 in 2 years is the about the same rate of weightloss so my DR would be very proud of you as we all are
I guess it's a good thing, but there's nothing better than feeling a slight soreness after a hard workout or run. 
). Was is super hard to get used to walking backwards? 
Silly me, I will just repeat myself " toenails are for wimps" and painted toenails? 
Hopefully by the time spring gets here I will have something to paint.
Excellent on the training! You are SO on your way!
I second all that Dena said. Forget the sedan, I want to get in our SUBURBAN and drive down there and have a little discussion with him. I don't care if he WAS nice about it or not. You can't talk to my Cam like that! Where's the whack-the-doctor smilie?!?!?! Thanks for asking about Charlie's training. But the man is a running machine and he makes me look really bad so let's not talk about it. 
I don't think I care for your new schedule this semester. We need you here. This schedule doesn't seem to leave much time for posting. 
We are all sooooo proud of you
