A wonderful day spent in climbing hills, gawking at nature's beauty,clouds,forest,monkeys, some horse riding.We were walking into clouds going higher and higher. A mystic misty day! Thanks to running my legs are not hurting at all. Only pain my body can feel is given by the horse riding. I never knew thay horse riding is not leisurely but a way to train your pelvic bones and muscles!
Can anyone please share how to add image to a post?
There are probably several ways. I know from a PC there is an option on the post itself. I'm on mobile and load mine to Photobucket first then share the link/image into mfp.
I'd been saving this one for @PastorVincent but I havent found the right opportunity, since I get the feeling I'm the Dork Fish. Maybe I could be the fella in the boat, be just my luck to catch that dork fish. Corn dog isn't too far from a hot dog, I bet he puts ketchup on these too... of it were a nerd fish it'd be @Stoshew71
Oh dang. That didn't work.
They want money.
Now I need to know how!1 -

On a computer I usually just save the image onto the desktop and then drag and drop it into the Reply box here, where you type your post. If the file is too big it will give an error, in which case I'll open the image using Paint and resize it there.0 -

It looks like the sale price will be available both in-store and online. My daughter's birthday is the 20th, so it looks like someone is getting a new tracker for her birthday!!
I'm waiting until after my September race to get mine. The deal is if I make my goal pace, I'll get my Garmin. It's quite the incentive! Lol!
That is AWESOME! I need to find someone here with a Sam's club membership. My birthday is the 15th so Happy Birthday to me!1 -
So I had to look up the size of an Oreo. Personally I'm not a fan, but managed to find something of equivalent size. This is the lid of a medicine bottle of Oreo size on my wrist.
For a fair evaluation, this is a tom tom multi sport and a Fitbit charge 2 ( which would be smaller if they would change the fixing mechanism on the strap):
For those who need further comparisons, I have arranged a series of coins (also having no clue what a quarter looked like until I dug one out (slightly bigger than a shilling but same as a ten pence piece) Reading from left to right on the top row they are:
Old half penny bit (uk)
One penny (modern) uk
Quarter (us)
50 yen (Japan)
1 cent (Canadian)
And the bottom row:
One shilling (uk)
5 cents (euro)
100 rupiah (Indonesia)
1 franc (France)
1 dollar (Australia)

I use MapMyRun. I like their guided training plans. I am doing their 1/2 marathon training plan right now.
I use MapMyRun and am also doing the 1/2 marathon training plan. I just have to back out some of the calories because it overestimates quite a bit according to my HRM.
@Sliedur, congrats on finishing the C25K!
Yesterday was rest day (from running) so went for a nice 16-mile bike ride. This morning I got in a nice 4.49 mile run which brings my July total to 68.24 miles (goal was 60).4 -
There are several ways to put up a picture, but the easiest one, is to click the image button in the reply box, as shown here:
There you can up load a picture or link to one on line.2 -

05/06/18 - Pittsburgh Marathon - aiming for sub four hours.
Ran with out my watch, no idea if hit any zones or anything but I ran. At one point a couple guy passed me, so I stuck with them for the rest of the route till they gave up and turned in and I went another mile. I wonder if they got annoyed that I said about 15 feet or so behind them for several miles. Had they asked I would have told them I left my watch at home so that meant I was not really there and nothing I did matter so just ignore me. But sadly they did not.5 -

@Elise4270 - do you get more if you rotate your screen?0

Yes, on an iPhone. I guess you will need to save up and upgrade to a real phone so you can post pictures.
Anyone on Andriod in this thread able to help her out?4 -

Apparently MFP isn't smart enough to work with the more popular OS..... which really makes me question MFP sometimes.2 -

No more cool photos from me then.
I can post them in my feed- which is full of nonsense and ramblings

If I do that and go back to the main community page, then go back into a thread; I still don't have any more options than in portrait view.1 -
Hey there! I'm new- I have a question- I recently started running again, and I didn't have this problem 2 months ago- my right foot fell asleep. I double checked my laces and they were not tight... curious to know what in the world I need to do?0

How new are your shoes?
I find I have that with minimal shoe that lack the cushion. Or when I've smushed 'em all down. Yes, that is the technical term "smushed". 1 -

I can't see a way on mobile either. I always upload on the computer.
ETA: if you see my post below, I figured out how to do it on an Android.
You can do like PastorVincent said, or as I said earlier, drag the actual image file into the text box where you type your reply

Ok, so what you need to do if you're on Android (obviously the superior choice ) is just open the myfitnesspal website in your phone's internet browser, rather than using the app. That way, you'll still have the Photo button and use the Choose Files option to browse to the pic you want on your phone

Landscape is what it is called when you turn your phone side ways instead of up and down (which is called portrait). Andriod phones also can do it. It gives you less height but more width to work with.0 -

Good thinking!! I have it in the browser and in the app on iPhone so never occurred to me there might be a difference.

Some people complain that their feet swell when they run, so you might have to loosen your laces after running for a while.0 -

This is what I was thinking. Also, loose shoes might not be the whole story. For example, my shoes are VERY loosely laced up by my toes, but tighter up top.1 -

I lace my shoes like this to help prevent foot numbness:
Also, I just seem to have finicky feet. Some shoes make my feet numb, others don't, and it's a bit of trial and error finding the ones that don't. It's one of the reasons I'm so loyal to the model I currently wear, because it's such a pain in the butt for me trying to find different shoes that work.3 -

Exactly this. I have a couple of pairs that do this when I run. And only my right foot. I have found lacing the way @katiejane83 says and getting one that has a big enough space for my toes.0
