WOW, more great tips! Thanks so much!! :D

My long runs are always in the AM, so I usually just have coffee, water, some Gatorade, and something light like toast, a banana, or granola. I've never had anything to drink WHILE running, but I'm thinking I should do so for this long race. I already checked out where all of the water stations are along the route. After…

Also a runner! Been running regularly just over a year now. Anyone can feel free to add me. I'm training for my first 10K on Memorial Day. :happy: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I use mapmyrun and love it. Never have had any problems, so I've never bothered to try any other ones. And one of my favorite features is that it DOES interrupt your music and tell you how many miles you're at and your pace. So not quite sure why that isn't working for you... Interesting to hear about these other apps…

^This!! I'm a Lifetime Weight Watchers member and I haven't had to sacrifice anything that I love (thankfully!). I've just become more mindful of my eating habits and make healthier choices/substitutions. I still splurge on the "bad" stuff now and then...but I also know when I can fit it in.

When I started running I was getting crazy shin splints. I went to New Balance and had my feet measured. Pricey for the shoes and inserts, but totally worth it. I no longer have any problems. I also just bought a new pair of Nikes, and just threw my inserts in there. Works great! Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie…

Today is actually my one year anniversary of becoming a regular runner. No April Fools joke here! I ran my fastest 5K a couple weeks ago...just under 30 mins. I will be running my first 10K on Memorial Day. Flying to Colorado to do so! Running is a healthy addiction that I'm so happy I got into. Feel free to add me.…

^THIS!!! It's the greatest thing ever! Tastes just like PB, without the guilt! :happy: :love: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Me too!! I've been obsessed with yoga pants and fun tanks. Mainly because these are things I could've never worn a year ago. I need another dresser just to store it all, lol. :laugh: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

I heard about these new flavors yesterday and immediately went to the grocery store and bought the Salted Caramel and the Peanut Butter flavors. Best $10 I've ever spent. Ah-mazing. The caramel core is def my fav out of those two though. :love: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

I heard that chewing gum helps with breathing. As for the shin splints, you need to get some shoe inserts and a good pair of running sneaks. I went to New Balance where they measure how you carry your weight when you stand. The inserts have helped me SO much. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

All of the advice about bringing in your own meals and working in exercise while at the office is great....It's what I do and it seems to help a lot. I also just have a hard time sitting still, do I'm constantly moving. And I'm also about to take my 5th bathroom break of the day because I drink so much water. I didn't…

Thanks everyone for all the great comments! There's a GNC next to my gym, so I'm going to stop there this evening. Thinking I may do the sample pack of Quest and a couple randoms of the other suggestions. As a side note, I'm also on Weight Watchers. I did a quick lookup of a few brands, and points wise, Quest bars look to…

I am a runner, so that's great to know! And anything involving PB is a plus in my book.

These choices sound delicious! "not so unhealthy cheat food" sounds like an oxymoron to me. My "cheat foods" would be: pizza fried chicken mac n cheese loaded cheese fries buffalo wings The list goes on, but I'll just stop here as a favor to myself and you all. Haha. However, the great thing about these items is there's…

I've heard others say this. Maybe that's why microwaving helps? At least for the whole texture thing? Considering I've never actually tried cardboard...haha :tongue:

What's your favorite flavors of all three of these brands? Mmmmm jerky.

Microwave idea sounds good. I normally do that with cookies...hahaha. Especially since I saw someone else say the texture wasn't so great...and that would probably be a turnoff for me. Thanks for all of this great info! And coconut/cashew sounds delish. That'll prob be the first flavor I try :happy:

Yes! I made a workout playlist that really gets me pumped. Some artists include: Pantera Tool Fear Factory Soil Coal Chamber Deftones Slayer Metallica All That Remains Rage Against the Machine Asking Alexandria Killswitch Engage Atreyu Nonpoint The list goes on.

I have 6...and counting. I'm also Irish. One is a shamrock with Celtic knotwork around it. I also have a shamrock located in the football that's part of my 1/4 sleeve. I hate medical needles...tattoo needles are completely different. It's more of just an annoying pain that lasts a while and can be uncomfortable on certain…

I also lost my weight with WW and exercise. I'm still currently doing WW (lifetime member) and I also track here because I like to see my calorie intake compared to my points. I have a daily points target of 26 and a calorie intake of 1,200. I always use all of my extra weekly points and dip a little into my activity…

Mmmm, breakfast of champions! :wink: I had my usual coffee and banana, but decided to mix it up and throw some Quaker Instant Oatmeal in there. Maple & Brown Sugar flavored. :smile: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
