Add me. Sometimes there for work. I run in Piedmont Park or the Beltline.

I've always been a 34A/ (32B at VS). I wear XS sports bras. When I get really thin from training, they are nonexistent.

I swear by Runtastic Pro ($5.99). I've had it for years and it is very accurate for distance except the first 30 seconds of my run. The display is changeable and the voice feedback at chosen intervals is great too. It links to MFP, but I have that turned off now as I wear a FitBit Charge HR.

I get grossed out trying on new clothes at the store. I would have to say no. Even washing my clothes with my boyfriend's clothes bothers me and my clothes get much sweatier than his ever do.

An 11 mile run in 92 minutes got me 1,034 burned the other day. Add pushing a jogging stroller to that and BINGO!

I've had mine for 7 weeks and I love it. I find the HR pretty accurate and get into 160s during hill workouts; the ''at rest'' seems pretty accurate too. Best $150 spent in a long time.

I've been running for about 4-5 years now but shorter distances as I was competing in sprint triathlons. Only recently has the dizziness started but only after I lost about 5-6lbs. I am eating at a deficit because I don't want to gain any weight back and I've always assumed that my FitBit over estimates my burn. Says about…

I link my FitBit Charge HR and go off that. 5'4", F, 29. Trying to drop 10-15 from 129. -750 per day goal, happy with -600 to -800 except the day before my long run. Then I eat around -200. Run about 35 miles per week. Haven't dropped in 3 weeks though.

I'm a runner. I look at the total body workouts and fear I would fall all over myself. But I do some body weight exercises- like pushups, squats, etc but nothing that would ever work me like a hard core run. I do triathlons, and am usually in the front middle of the pack, but I can't make it thru my 20 minutes beginner's…

I have had the Charge HR for a few days now. I love it. Pros 1) Keeps me moving. I have a "friend" that I had and always try to outstep that person. Ha! 2) I love watching the HR change. My resting HR is around 40 and I like how I can see graphs and data points throughout the day. 3) I find it to be accurate. I took my…

4.5 mile run, 20 minute yoga DVD.

I have the charge HR and love it. Very accurate too.

I have Nike Free 4.0s and it has helped tremendously with knee pain because it forces me to not be a heel striker. Give it a go I guess.

3 miler, 26:xx

Nike Free, 4.0 for running. Keeps me up on the balls of my feet.

5K, 28 minutes. It was only 11 degrees out.

Currently: Height: 5'4" Weight: 131.8 Age: 29 Size: 0-2P or 1 in JRs 33x25x35 Goal: 120 32-33X23-24X34-35 00-0, smallest JR size

1) Invest in a good bike and get fit for it. That's the biggest part of the race. 2) Practice open water swimming in your wetsuit (if your race will allow them). They can be very hard to get used to. 3) as your training progresses, do some brick workouts. 4) Practice getting out of your wetsuit while it's wet.

Commando. Always.

I run anywhere between 3 and 6 miles. I estimate 70 calories per mile running a 9 minute mile.

5'4", ideal weight is low to mid 120s.

I once ate a can of tomato paste. I forgot the sandwich thin I was going to make a pizza with. Just ate my mozz cheese and tomato paste. On an airplane.

I also eat breakfast later if I am off. If I am at work, I eat an egg to make my tummy happy then eat more once I am settled in. I eat about 350 at 10-11, a very light, late lunch, maybe 200 around 3, and hearty dinner of 600 around 6-7 and 1c cereal and 1/2c milk right before bed when my schedule is ideal.

I personally do better with two larger meals and a snack. I don't feel deprived when I feel "full". And I drink water in sips throughout the day. I can't sit down a drink a full glass of water unless I am working out and sweating. With that being said, I do find water to be a good boredom replacement.

Needless to say, I haven't done any races since June. And I miss it. :(

Last one, I know it's disturbing.

This was after being released from the hospital.

Ok... I just want to be healthy and active again. I had a severe allergic reaction to a medication for a blister on my foot that became infected. I was hospitalized and had to enter a burn unit because of my skin's condition. I also had to take steroids which made me gain weight. Since my release (until Dec) I wasn't…

Probably. Try gaining 16% of you body weight over a few weeks and not be "allowed" to take it off. Then squeeze into the same clothes. Yuck. Glad it's over half gone. And let me say, I didn't miss those Christmas cookies. I wasn't/ still am not letting anything slow me down. Even ran a 5K the other night with a 101.2 fever.

I've been using the 1300-1400 mark since Dec 1. Down 11 of those 20lbs so it is working at least. Like I said, I go away tomorrow for a week of skiing so I won't be doing much formal exercising- I'll be too sore and probably pressed for time. I'll reevaluate where I need to be after I get back. Hoping I'll be down to 128…
