I finally ordered the tender irons from vitalady.com.
They are not expensive themselves, $30 for 400 capsules, but shipping is $11!
ouch.
If they work-I will gladly pay 10 times that amount though :)
Thanks for the help.

I'd love to hear more about your experience. If you get a moment, please write again or PM me!
Thanks for checking in, and keep up the good work. I'm really proud of you!
I thought of you when I was at mile 18 on day one and I didn't stop.. I did however stop at mile 21.8 my legs turned to lead and I knew i had to walk the next day so I took the sweep van and rested till the next day. I did do the full day on day 2, 13.3 miles so thank you for replying back to me. I really don't know if I would have pushed past mile 18 if I had not thought about your comments.
I am crazy enough to have signed up for next year, so maybe then I will be able to do the whole thing.
Thank you again!

Mary,
Thanks for checking up on me, and keeping me “honest". Had you asked this question 5 days ago I would have given you a little different answer than today. But since you asked ..
Overall I am doing very well. Since Aug 11th I have been “running", using the Couch to 5K method. Last Wednesday I was able to do 3 complete miles in about 38 minutes (37 minutes 38 seconds to be exact). I was elated to say the least.
Well I went away on Friday and came back yesterday, and didn’t do any running while I was away. I tried doing it today, and was only able to do a mile and half and I needed to stop. I walked about ½ mile and was able to do another one and one-quarter miles.
Was I disappointed? HECK YEAH!! Am I discouraged? HELL NO!! The route I was doing was much hillier than what I ran on Wednesday. And I am now more determined to “defeat" this route. EVENTUALLY !!!
In fact, today I just signed up to do a 5K on Thanksgiving Day (thanks to Big Ideas/Linda). So I have another reason NOT TO GIVE UP.
I think of running like our weight loss. There are going to be good days, and bad days. There will be triumphs and failures. What we need to do is keep focused of the overall goal, and keep working towards it. No matter how many hills we come to, we need to run up them. Sometimes it will take a few tries, but eventually we’ll not only be up that hill, but over it and crossing the finishing line.
So thanks for keeping me Honest. I think this post couldn't have come at a better time !!! You're like an angel !!! I OWE YOU A BIG HUG !!

Just curious and you have posted in a while.... have you been able to integrate exercise into your 'real' life? I'm just starting back seriously again, and it seems like there's always a "must do" after work, and by 7 or 8, I'm too old and tired to hit the gym.... How are you doing it? Share your story! I need inspiration! Mary C

Gweibrot, Bordentown is just over the border of Central Jersey and very convenient to get to from Edison.
To Lisa, hope you can make it.
