ETFnerd Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 wow. this thread is all sorts of awesome. i don't think i'm cool enough to hang.Rule #1: You're cooler than all the ice in the Arctic, because you just are...Because of the way I've been treated in the past, I don't want anyone to feel like they don't belong. I don't want to create exclusionary, clique-y circles here. I know firsthand what it feels like to be excluded and I don't really want to do it to anyone else. I may call you out on something I don't agree with, but that doesn't mean I dont want to continue having interesting conversations with you...Sorry for the rant... probably not what you expected when you posted, nightlight...

concretecavewoman Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Yes indeed. And yes indeed. But not quite spandex..they're a blend. Are they the luon-nix-power-dex-blend or whatever it is they sell at lululemon? Also, poll:Hand-painted Mario-themed chucks in the weight room, awesome, or really awesome?

Hermione Gainser Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Sweeeeeet. Today's workout: spin class! I think I like it. I don't get that same high feeling like I did boxing or with muay thai but it's fun. AND it really tickles me to be working in a way I haven't.

I think I remember a conversation about Krav Maga a few months ago (back when I did my first 6-wk challenge, I think that was your "Nut Up" hehe). Did you ever get a chance to try it out?I'm hoping to get my brother to give me some unarmed hand-to-hand combat/defense lessons. Ain't nobody gonna get me.

Hermione Gainser Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I did. And it was AWESOME. I went back and forth about which to do: Muay Thai or Krav.
