It depends on how fast I run. If I run 9mph, I can run 5k (3.1miles) in 21min. If I run 7.5mph, I can run 10k(6.2miles) in 53min. If I run slower, I can run farther. If I slow down to 5.2mph, I can pretty much run indefinitely (or a marathon), provided I get enough fluids along the way.

I would be a Blackhawks fan if I wasn't a Penguins fan...

I think 1/3 cup SHELLED = 1/4 cup UNSHELLED...roughly...

I didn't eat for 3 weeks...

I take weekends off...for the most part. Maybe some yoga or some warmup/light stretching. When I've feel the onset of overtraining symptoms, I won't hesitate to skip a weekday every now and then as well. I pay attention to what my body is telling me on a daily basis, and that determines how hard or easy I go when I'm at…

My typical gym visits vary from day to day: Monday, Wednesday, Friday: 60 - 120 mins Upper Body Strength Training 30 - 60 mins Cardio (treadmill, spinning, elliptical, etc.) 30 - 60 mins Swimming Tuesday, Thursday: 60 - 90 mins Lower Body Strength Training Little to No Cardio And YES, some days I'm actually at the gym for…

I smoked for 10 years (ages 18 to 28 - 3 packs a day, regular Marlboro or Camel no filters), then when my grandfather passed away from complications from smoking in December, I made a New Year's Resolution to quit smoking. I stopped cold turkey Dec 31, 2000, at 11:40pm. and have not smoked since. And I'm a runner... My…

Why are you trying to beat your plateau by dropping your calorie intake? Your body doesn't want to give up any more fat stores because it thinks there isn't enough food coming in. It thinks it's doing you a favor to save your life. Instead, INCREASE your calorie intake by a couple hundred. Let your body know that more food…

Remind me to never send her a friend request.

I went to Walmart and bought the Health O Meter BFM884DQ1-60 Body Fat Monitoring Scale. It measures body fat %, body hydration %, and bone mass, along with your weight and BMI. And it is surprisingly accurate with my gym's scale,too. I'm talking like +/- 0.2 lbs...

I did 30DS Day 1, took a 15 minute break, and then did Day 2, using 5lb weights. It felt like a good workout afterwards.

My Pens team is playing a west coast swing to start the season. I can't watch them play until 10pm. :( and they won't be back in Pittsburgh for their home opener until the 11th. :( The schedule maker needs shot...

I think it is a common perception that thin people have thicker skin than thick people...

Um...option C, whatever that is... lol

GNC Pro Performance AMP Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60. Protein: 60 g Carbs: 7g Fat: 1g Sugar: 2g And it comes in many different flavors. I have vanilla right now, and it tastes really good.

Oh noes! They're on to you! j/k

When I can't eat a banana before my evening workouts, I'll eat an orange or two instead. It takes me 30 mins to get to the gym, so by then, I'm ready to workout without feeling sick.

I'm always naked, so I usually put clothes on when I'm going to weigh in... ...or maybe it's the other way around...

I've only done Day 1 & 2. I go to the gym instead, and I put in more than 20 minutes of exercise a day. But when I did 30DS, I used 5lb weights. Also, when I did 30DS, I did Day 1, took a 15 minute break, then did Day 2. But I'm hardcore like that...

I recently got past a plateau by upping my calorie intake by a couple hundred. I also exercised a little lighter for a few days, then went back to exercising hard while still maintaining the higher calorie intake. Then I started dropping weight again.

I eat a small, high carb meal before workouts so that I get the most out of my workout and then I eat my dinner (high protein) meal after. Don't know if it's right to do it that way, but it's been working for me.

I have to miss work today since my son is sick and running a fever.

Son's hockey practice Steelers game Penguins game Rest day - no gym

You look great! Great job! Keep up the good work!

Virility?

I know you're not talking to me (not a pretty lady and not a sexy man), but I'm drinking water anyway...lol

Not tacky at all. He should be willing to bring it back since you let him borrow it. And if you have to go get it, then don't let him borrow it again.

10...but most days are a 10 for me. I'd say I've only had 2 bad days in the last 6 months. And that's a lot for me.

It's a flaccid shake weight...limpy...
