I love our local Snap Fitness! AFAIK, there are some financial benefits to Snap - memberships are month to month with no contract and, at least in our area, the fees are quite a bit lower. Also, we can pause our membership from time to time while traveling at a cost if $5/mo. But I'm a little biased because when the local…

Just started week 1 yesterday. I'm giving it a trial run after using SL 5x5 for a while. I checked out the NROLFW group here, but it doesn't appear to be active ( the last post was a year ago?).

One of my new year's resolutions was to start making bentos again. Since I no longer leave the house for work, I haven't really been motivated, but decided I'd try again. Here's one for an outing this afternoon in the box I use most often. Chicken & peppers with thai chili sauce (using a frozen chicken breast), broccoli,…

Thanks to everyone that answered my question about sunscreen. I wanted to get some real-world answers, not just what I read online - oh, wait... what I meant was not just what was pitched to me online. May 1 - 4 miles May 3 - 2.25 miles (of 3.1 scheduled) May 4 - 1.3 mile short run to warm up for strength training & catch…

@skippygirlsmom Thanks for the concern :) @juliet3455 Hope you're not too near those fires, scary! Question for everyone - what do you all do for sunscreen? I sweat *so much* when I run that it all just runs off my face!

@cariTJR – so sorry to hear about your mom. I lost my mom two years ago April and I still miss her. My thoughts are with you and yours. Had to cut yesterday's run short after taking a tumble. I turned my head to look at a barking dog and apparently tripped on a large rock. I've got some pretty good road rash on my knee and…

Back after taking a month off as far as the challenge is concerned, but not from running. Finished up C25K a bit ago and have moved on to a B210K program. It's a short program (only 5 weeks), so I'm stretching it out a bit and mixing in some shorter days. I'm also adding some bike time now, but mostly very short rides as I…

3.25 mile trail run/walk yesterday to try out my new trail running shoes. It was very, very slow but still about 8 minutes faster than the last time. Back to the B210K plan tomorrow if the weather cooperates!

W1D3 done last night. I'm using the RunDouble 5 to 10K plan (timed) but the increases are huge - from 30 minutes running last week to 40 this week (I'm slow, but it's still going from just over 2 miles to just under 3 miles). The sudden increase is giving me some aches and pains so I may do a couple more week 1 days before…

W1D2 done, and I just realized that I've run 10 miles in the past week. I didn't think I'd ever hear myself say that!

Week 1, Day 1 last night. I'm using the RunDouble timed app, so it was 5-8 minute running segments with 1 minute walks in between. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make such a big jump in time from week 9's 30 minute runs, but I went really slow and made it right through all the runs! I'm really, really slow (think…

GREAT run today with DH - both farther and faster than I've been. I'm running for time, so if my pace increases, my distance does too. Not that I'm fast - I'm pretty sure I could get lapped by the 90 year olds at any race, but today I was just a little faster than I have been! As a bonus, the wildflowers are really…

Finished week 7 today. I had some bad runs last week, so I took an extra day with week 7. But with two 25 min runs in the bag, I feel ready to move on. The finish line is in sight!

@ceciliaslater, @MNLittleFinn, @whatang, @rcsmom2002, @shanaber, @windchild, @skippygirlsmom Thanks to everyone for your words of encouragement! For those who asked - as best as I can tell, it's not motivation although I think my struggles are mental. I just get to a spot where I think I MUST walk a bit. Sometimes just a…

I'm way behind on posting, and I'm really struggling with my (short, I know) runs right now. I'm just going to keep on, though and hope it works itself out. 3/1 - 2 mile run 3/2 - 3 mile walk 3/3 - 2.25 mile run 3/6 - 2 mile run Upcoming Races: 12/3/16 SA Rock N Roll - 5K/10K
