Nope I haven't tried t before, ooooo interesting dreams huh? I have strange enough ones as it is!! This could be scary :shock:

[teamfatboy]

Maybe it's just women... I've used ZMA for a while, never noticed a thing.

Was that a organised "Road Run" or just hitting the streets for cardio ?

I will keep you posted on the ZMA thing then, just thought I'd give it a go, I guess you can't really tell if any of the stuff really works!!

Nope just a dis-organised run by myself goddamn nearly killed me! I'm trying to run a little further each week at the moment, I can't believe I ran a marathon 4 months ago. It's very frustrating to have lost that fitness!!

I had a horleys low carb rocky road one, it was OK tasted really sugary though, just wanted a change of something!! They aren't the best form of food!

[Flamer]

On the ZMA issue - I tend to find I occassionally have some freaky dreams, not nightmares, just really vivid stuff!

Also find hair & nails get quite strong & healthy.

I haven't had any more crazy dreams than I normally have so far, but I always remember my dreams for some reason and they are usually parallel to the day that just happened in some warped way.

Looking forward to stronger nails and hair! :grin: that sounds great!

I ran home from work 4.5km, it was great, a little easier than last week, it's up hill till about 1/2 way then it's down hill then a short up hill burst to my front door.

I have a on-going competition with my husband, it started in 2000 and basically the first person to obtain a 6 pack wins everything. Believe it or not neither of us has won yet. BUT this morning my top two abs are sticking out (in a good light, if you sqwint your eyes!) HA! I am a step closer to winning!! :pray:

I showed him and he is a little scared as he has stopped going to the gym recently! \:D/
