Tar Heel 10 Miler, Chapel Hill, NC - April Race 13.1, Raleigh, NC - June Rock n Roll Half, VA Beach - September Marine Corps Marathon- October That’s my plan as long as I get into the MCM, if not I’ll find another half that is 4 weeks before a fall Marathon.

I’ve been training for the NYC Marathon on Nov 4th. I’m in the taper stages now and my legs are starting to feel good. I did a 22 miler 3 weeks ago, and I cant wait for the race to start. It’ll be my first marathon, I’ve done 6 1/2 marathons, including two this year.

Cheese sticks, sliced apples, pretzels with single serving cups of hummus, guacamole, or peanut butter, grapes and bananas have worked well for me for snacks to go with my lunches.

I switched to carbonated water and have the occasional soda when I’m eating out somewhere.

I use a Camelbak belt that fits a 16-20oz bottle in the back. It works great for me because the straps are in the front so it’s easy to adjust while running.

This made me think of something. I'm going to think of my target weight as the beginning not the end.

Flavored seltzer water really helped me, and I often will have hot tea in the afternoon for a caffeine fix. After a couple months you won't miss the sugar.

51.4 / 70. Half marathon coming up on 10/22.

32.5/70, upcoming half on 10/22.

I just checked and I ran 66.9 miles in September. I think I'll try for 70 in October including a 1/2 marathon on the 22nd.

Get to 180lbs and run a half marathon in October. Currently at 193 and doing 6mi long runs.

Runkeeper allows you to track calories for a variety of activities, mostly aerobic types though, like running, walking, or elliptical. The calculations are pretty standard too- weight, time, distance etc. The app can be paired with MFP too. Like it's said above, just don't eat back all the calories burned, none of it is…

At the end of 2014 I came down with the flu. Went to the doctor and learned I weighed more than I'd ever weighed in my life. At the same time I realized that 2-3 pairs of pants with a larger waist size I'd bought only a couple months earlier were starting to get tight. I started walking, added in an elliptical trainer, and…

I got really sick and when I went to the doctor my weight was higher than it had ever been. On top of that, the larger size pants I had just bought were already getting tight. After being ill and in bed for a week, I realized my weight was only going to go up unless I did something. I hit my goal a few weeks ago and got a…
