Peanut butter

I keep it really simple because I don't have much time weeknights. I rub porkchops in olive oil and seasoning (usually cajun or creole). Sear them on each side in a very hot cast iron skillet. Then broil them on high for a minute or two on each side depending on the thickness. Easy

That's a good point. I wouldn't have to change shoes.

I will consider this too if I still have trouble. Seems like quite a few people on here agree with your approach. Thanks

Parking lot is a good idea. I'll make sure to wear long pants for the occassional fall. And I will fall at least a few times. Not sure how I made it through the tri except that once I got going I was ok.

Thanks! I need to find somewhere to ride where there is light traffic until I'm used to it. Maybe go out early...

Yes, I do all the time!

Yes! Welcome!

Is there anything you wanted to do that you didn't have time for before now?

You can bookmark it and get notifications when people post to the thread. Don't remember exactly how to do that though.

I would much rather run in 20 degree weather than 90!

Stay strong! You got this!!

This helps a great deal. Thanks! I do not feel good during my endurance runs. I've been doing this wrong and need to make some adjustments. I'm going to add your suggested interval workout (at my pace). Sounds like I need to switch the tempo run to a recovery pace too. Only a little over a month until the Army 10 miler so…

I honestly thought it was because I'm aging. My pace started slowing during the training for my 2nd marathon about 3 years ago. I did overtrain for it, my pace slowed and I developed bad insomnia. I took about a year off of distance running but still ran 3-4 miles a few times a week. I just can't seem to get a decent pace…

Welcome back! I understand what you're saying. I have to eat less and work out harder but my body doesn't want me to.

Sounds like what I was going through. I do that stretch - each knee individually, then both, then supine twists (I think this helps me the most). It seems like stretching is getting just as long as the workouts!

Yeah I see a chiropractor for adjustments when my lower back starts feeling tight. That seems to prevent any lower back issues that would lay me out for days. I don't want to stop either!

I'll be 47 soon. I run and do strength training. My body is betraying me though. My running pace is slowing and I'm getting injuries I've never had before (e g. tennis elbow). Hoping to learn how other people are adjusting.

Like others said find an exercise you enjoy so you'll want to do it. Maybe switch up your workout times where you'll be less tired. I find that I am more likely to workout if I plan to do it in the morning. I have to really push myself to do it after work.

I eat a banana with peanut butter a lot of mornings when I don't have time to make eggs.

Never. I pay attention to how my clothes fit and leave the weighing for when I go to the doctor.

It takes more effort to run in warmer temperatures. My pace is slower the warmer it is to keep my heart rate where I want it.

You can do it! Stay strong! During and after my pregnanies I gained a lot of weight. I got serious about weight loss and fitness when my youngest turned 5 and I had more free time. I started with walking on the treadmill and then transitioned into running. 5 years later I finished my first marathon. Anything is possible!!

I've been running for about 10 years. 1. To stay fit honestly. 2. I run 4 times/week. The distance varies depending on what I'm training for. I've done a couple of marathons and halfs but I've been doing 10 milers the last couple of years. Currently training for the Army 10 miler and at 9 miles for my long run 3. I…
