Unfortunately this is true, the water that comes out in FL not only smells but has a slight color to it... I don't care what anyone says I don't feel comfortable not filtering it/using bottled water instead. Also private wells can be super iffy too, if they aren't your own/if you don't know how well they are maintained etc.
-
Dang it! Well I hope you find something, I get heartburn already on my short runs...but I'm hoping if I edit my meals before my run it help, just have been too lazy to try yet. Let us know if you find something that works!
-
I meant more along the lines of pretzels and baby food (I have seen these mentioned in running articles on this topic). Edit: also have you tried or considered taking an antacid head of time, like Pepcid, that lasts all day? If heartburn is the main issue?
-
Have you tried any of the waffles/cookies? Also curious if you used the Gus with caffeine or no caffeine? If the sweet sugary stuff is giving you a tummy ache after too many, maybe try to find something that's savory/real food for one of your fuel ups.

I just finished Wuthering Heights last night, I think it might be tied for my favorite now. I haven't been able to get it out of my head! I haven't ready Jane Eyre yet though, but I can't imagine anything more incredible though. I guess now I'll have to find out :neutral:
-
@1TheQueenB I'm just getting back into running also, and working up to long distances. I'll be honest the FL heat is tough!! Right now I'm up to 5 miles, but I've also been taking it slow and cross training a lot (swimming in the ocean!!) having a friend who is training in similar conditions may help my motivation though…

Vero Beach/treasure coast area here.

WOW these are all so amazing!!
-
Wow those photos are beautiful!! We have a couple of rescue dogs who could easily be misunderstood, sometimes it's hard work, but totally worth it. Have you gone on any more hikes since? Feel free to add me, my two boys (dogs) and I go hiking all the time, nothing long or exciting at the moment since we are in Florida…
-
Wow incredible!!!
-
How did your hike go?!?! I'm in the US, but I so wish I had been there!
-
We should get this group going again!!
-
Get dogs lol jk but they really do wake up ready to go! My best advice is "just do it". For the first few weeks you truly just have to not think about it and do it because there is no magical trick. Tell yourself I can do it today, just for today and make it happen. It's really worth it! Im in FL currently and if I don't…
-
That's great! I'm glad it's feeling better/working for you!
-
I completely agree with the OP that ageism is a problem and that anyone's actual health and fitness level should be taken into account for things like doctor visits... though there is a difference between being told and made aware of real changes and concerns in an aging body (good doctor) and being told you shouldn't do…
-
Sounds like we are in the same boat :( does the Agility in your username stand for dog agility?!
-
First week sucked, bad migraines and exhaustion. After that I felt completely fine and normal. I notice no difference in my health etc after a couple months without it, so I added it back in (because I love the taste) but now I only drink it when I want it, not everyday... usually on weekends and weekday if I am in the…

What matters for weight loss is calories in calories out, or basically not eating more calories than you burn over a period of time. So yes you can lose weight without exercise. However many people are aiming for a body that looks lean and fit, and in that case you'll want to do strength training. In addition to that if…

Oh man I get bored around mile 13!!! Do you listen to books on tape or anything?
-
If it's outside of my normal cleaning duties (which I don't count) and/or I am sweating up a storm for the duration I am absolutely counting it! We travel for work, so I have to clean our rentals each time we move (usually once a month or more) in addition to packing up all our crap, that means generally an entire day of…
-
Wow nice work!! Since we are in Florida at the moment and I hike with my two black dogs we are just doing short hikes due to the insane heat, but I grew up in the mountains and have hiked my whole life, including backpacking. Once it cools off we will take it further here!
-
17 miles, but that was nearly 2 years ago... definitely don't think I could do that right now, plus it takes all day haha! That is so cool you are up to 18.52, keep us updated!!
-
I've read it's common to have some bloating after starting a new workout regimen. Drink lots of water and it will pass! Your diet sounds good, if you want to do protein shakes go for it, otherwise you can just make sure to get the protein in your normal foods. I would rather have Greek yogurt or chicken than a protein…
-
This is super duper normal and common! Because of the excitement and adrenaline from the race people tend to either accidentally or on purpose run too fast. You just have to find a way to make sure you don't let that happen and control your pace to your normal or sustainable pace. The problem is that when we get to excited…
-
Ok cool :) I was hoping it was the one I have because I know on YouTube it's about $10 and I thought I saw someone say it was $25 so just checking! Thanks! :) can't wait to start again [/quote] I got mine on YouTube, and I glanced at the price in Walmart and t was also $10. Maybe it costs more in other countries or…
-
Yep this is regular old Jillian! I got mine for $10 too, but some people might find that expensive if on a tight budget, especially if they can get other workouts on you tube for free. She does make more/different videos (Ripped in 30 is awesome after 30DS because it's a bit harder) but they are all about the same price.
-
It looks like he is maybe only talking about before a run and then there are links to his recommendations otherwise? I haven't got around to clicking on his other info yet.
-
Ive heard that she actually says you should take rest days, the name is just a gimmick in a way, it sounds good. The actual exercises and DVD are amazing, and people clearly get results, and everyone that I've seen doing it on here plays it smart and takes rest days/does cross training. I personally do a different level…
-
Well Dark Places was so good I pretty much read it strait through lol. Finished in two sittings haha! Now reading Wild by Cheryl Strayed, I've seen the movie and was curious about the book. I have been reading a lot of very intense books lately so I figured a lighter read might be good!
-
I felt that way in the first few months also, but then it just became second nature. On my phone anything I have ever logged before comes up automatically when I begin to type, so by now it's pretty easy for me to add stuff without a lot of extra work. Also you can create "meals" that you eat often and also use the recipe…
