Thanks. I have had my stitches out for almost three weeks. It's 100%. I never stopped running. But I quit going to my yoga class. I really should have gone two weekends ago, and definitely should have gone last weekend. I'm just a locked down creature of momentum and entropy. I pray the great driver of things gets my…

On track and logging....good on you, that usually works for most people.

Very nice, mine are the GT-2000 10, and I'm due for an upgrade. I'm just coming off a long run (no pun intended) with New Balance and bought these Asics. I don't really need a stability shoe I'm going to consider their Cumulus (and New Balance too) for my next pair. Good luck. Mine fit right out of the box....the shoe tech…

You are back! Very good. Is being on MFP part of your plan? Shall we do the "P" part Pal in MFP? I'm running a little bit, and the things I am not doing well on right now are my food diary...that's the area were I could really change things up. How about you @gwoolie ?

Hey Congratulations! Great time to go an travel, right. Have both a great time, and take care.

I've always had the bulk up to goal weigh recomp fantasy. Get to X lbs. below goal weight, then go for adding up this X pounds in muscle to end up at goal. Personally or esthetically I don't care about musculature. I especially don't want any additional bulk. Just enough to keep my balance, and keep my metabolism/immune…

Me too Marissa, without your 31.7 lbs gain though. It's all part of the process. ;) GW: 144.7 lbs Weigh In Info - Mar 6 , 2024 Last: 241.4 lbs TW: 245.7 lbs Variance: +4.3 lbs I did a typical Monday morning weigh in and was up about three and thought, ah I'll give it a day, something is up. Tuesday up a bit more, this…

Wow, your 30k goal is trembling, you're going to crush it.

Ha! Yes it does. "Las Cabras" is a perfect name for a trail running team.

It's a good place MFP....there are all kinds of different pockets, find a good one and a couple of good friends, and then successes start happening. What's next for you? Dropping five? Keto? Running a 5K? Getting stronger? --Chris

D'oh, that does not sound pleasant. I rail against cars and traffic in the city. Out in farmland it's a different set of circumstances. I guess we all have our crosses to bear. I hate cars and traffic, yet hypocritically I have a car and drove :25 minutes this last Sunday to my favorite car-free reservoir to run. Don't get…

Prime weed season, with some warm sun and after all the recent rain. A mid-day lunchtime run around my neighborhood. March Running Goal: 17 runs, 55 miles* Mar 3 -5.00 miles * Mar 4 -1.51 miles Current: 2 runs, 6.51 miles

Happy Monday to you too. That all sounds great, with results too.

I centerpunched the rain. It rained as I prepared, and started up again just as I finished. Timing, right? March Running Goal: 17 runs, 55 miles* Mar 3 -5.00 miles Current: 1 runs, 5.00 miles

Step #1 Look inside yourself and figure out if you are truly a person who enjoys cooking. Step #2 Filter all the responses here based on if the person seems to be into it, or just wants a means to an ends. I don't get much out of cooking chicken. I was skeptical but thighs really do taste better. But I still usually cook…

US -> Nexium, prilosec, etc. Good luck with the kid tomorrow. May he smash you into bits with a burst of youthful energy and speed the likes of which you've never seen, leaving you breathless, exhausted, and proud. :)

March Running Goal: 17 runs, 55 miles 1.3 lbs. February weight loss (244.8 lbs -> 243.5 lbs) I'm Chris; I moved to San Diego, California, in 2023. My fittest years were 2010 and 2019 when I did lots of food tracking, Iyengar yoga, and running. In 2024 I'm shooting for a cool, calm, collected, stable routine of fun,…

Sometimes I wish you English people would speak English. :wink:

Short and sweet month done! Pretty pretty pretty good. I am feeling prepared to launch into a some springtime light and miles. February Running Goal: 13 runs,40 miles* Feb 2 -2.87 miles * Feb 4 -3.48 miles * Feb 9 -1.86 miles * Feb 11-2.73 miles * Feb 14-2.01 miles * Feb 17-3.59 miles * Feb 19-2.86 miles * Feb 21-2.02…

May the sun shine warm upon your face

💯💯💯 🎉🎉🎉

Good on ya! This is the most supportive group on MFP. One KM a day for 30 days and you are gold! Good luck, and I hope to see you again tomorrow.

Words escape me.

Today was another short run around the neighborhood during lunch. I still marvel at you power achievers who get up at the crack of darkness and run in the morning. Seven and half tomorrow to make my monthly goal? Maybe... February Running Goal: 13 runs,40 miles* Feb 2 -2.87 miles * Feb 4 -3.48 miles * Feb 9 -1.86 miles *…

How about a review of the "Race Widget, Daily Suggested Workout, Primary Race Event." functionality on your new Garmin?

Amputation. (An unhelpful tongue in cheek answer to a leading, unformed, and unanswerable question.) Boxers/wrestlers/weightlifters are the experts in managing discreet amounts of body weight....but putting that onto an unhealthy person ( my assumption) facing surgery, is wrong.

Ah Lynch, that doesn't sound good. Who knows what the pancreas does, but "severe" and "..atitis" are all pretty clear. I hope you get good care and can work with this.

Though I figured out how to squeeze in Mon & Wed lunchtime runs a couple of weeks ago, I think today is the first time I've actually done it. Pretty nice. Though the afternoon will feel humid and red-faced. February Running Goal: 13 runs,40 miles* Feb 2 -2.87 miles * Feb 4 -3.48 miles * Feb 9 -1.86 miles * Feb 11-2.73…

💯 I turned off my weight notifications too. Honestly I'd rather have MFP notify my friends when I've gained weight...but it won't do that.

There you go, I looked. 241-ish this morning. --
