  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

IJWTS- Yesterday I finally jogged my first ever 5k on the treadmill! I'm so excited! I've also been wanting to register for a fun 5k race too; I was going to register for one in May, but then I saw one that was much closer to where I live, but it's in 3 weeks. I wasn't sure if I could be ready by then...but after yesterday, now I'm confident! So I'm going to register for the race! It's a Color Vibe fun race, where it's more for the fun of running the race, it's not as intense, and they throw a bunch of colorful dust on you so you walk out looking like a bag of skittles! :D

I'm super excited! I just can't believe I'm actually doing this! :hoho:

I will!!! :D I can't wait to look like a bag of Skittles! (Though I'll admit that I'll make sure to get EXTRA purple! :p) But most importantly, I'm just so excited to actually run this race! It's something that a year or two ago, I could never have even imagined myself doing! :hoho:

Cool, I started running this year too. It's very enjoyable and satisfying. About the race, just try to do some road running before the race too. Treadmill conditions are different from road running conditions as you would expect but 5km is still a lot. Well done.

IJWTS- Making chocolate covered strawberries is NOT as easy as they make it look.

How do you keep the strawberries from sliding off the sticks?
How do you get that perfect thin coat of chocolate?
How do I stop eating the mess I'm making?
And most importantly, how do I stop making intentional mess...so I have to eat it?!
:p

I'm exhausted. I just pulled a fourteen hour day, which was just a bit longer than yesterday. I only work aroudn 9 hours a day, but with driving time getting to jobs and breaks at random places during the day, I usually don't get a chance to relax until I'm home. This is still easier than working full time while getting my master's, lol. I just wish I had someone else to help me make ends meet.

IJWTS- I did my first outdoor 5k loop today in preparation for my race! :hoho:

And just as I thought, you're definitely right, r0x (that's gonna be my nickname for you from now on, btw!), the treadmill conditions are very different from real outdoor conditions. I'm so glad that I pushed myself to be able to do it on the treadmill that other day because now I can spend more time preparing outside. Living in Florida, elevation and hills and stuff are a non-issue; it's completely flat down here! ^_^ But the sun is a killer! It's seriously brutal here and if you're not careful, you can easily pass out. Good thing I've grown up here so I know how to deal with the sun. Also, the race will be at 9 in the morning, in March, so the sun won't be as brutal as say, August. But still, I'm a true Floridian and I know how to handle the sun! :cool:

Today, when I went jogging it was pretty sunny with a few clouds, but it was during the late afternoon so it wasn't killer sunny lol. There was a nice cool breeze and it was around 70. I jogged half of the distance on the sidewalk of the road and the other half on the beach in the sand right along the Gulf of Mexico. The sun got to me a little and it was definitely harder to pace myself without the treadmill forcing me to pace myself lol, so I ended up walking a little bit of the distance, but I did jog most of it.

Overall, it was definitely harder jogging the distance outside than on the treadmill in the gym. But I think today was a good start! :D I'm still suuuuuuper slow though! :( Oh well! ^_^
