Just bought my 2nd Garmin (loads of trouble with my FR210) now have a FR220. Would love support on Garmin Connect. I only run 10km events, which are tough enough for me :-) Garmin name TRISHNZ. Would love a Vivofit too...but have a Fitbit.

What is it?

I am addicted to Special K fruit and nut. Love it! But I always measure the amount I have 50 grams. Its the chewy raisins that I love best.

Thanks - I do have a GPS watch so I know my pace outside which is about 1/2 a minute or more slower than the treadmill.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I did the C25K and the B210K. I have run a few 10km events, some non-stop but this year I just can't seem to do it!....maybe just getting older is the reason. I can't run much slower than I do really otherwise it would just be a fast walk. As most say I probably just have to run outside…

I am sorry but no suggestions except fruit should be perfect on its own. Maybe your tastebuds just have to learn to love the fruit. Not sure what you use but pineapple, kiwifruit, etc should add sweetness - if that's what you crave.

Sounds like its all good for you. At the end of the day or night - its calories in vs energy out, over a 24hr period or a week, however it works. So what ever works for you carry on doing it. If the weight is not dropping off, then think of changing something. I think the main thing is that you need to reduce food intake…

Sounds good and you will enjoy it....I will bet you will enter more after this one.

I like Wiggle too....good service and products and best is free delivery for orders over $100. Usually it is so costly for postage from the States or UK

This is probably true.......you do need to log Everything! Exercise is important to health and wellbeing so start that....even walking daily helps. Most people overestimate the calorie burn from exercise so look at your food logging first.

So True!

I like it!

Friggin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Correct!

I found a homemade recipe - sounds easy and delicious. http://www.food.com/recipe/homemade-rice-a-roni-24476

Thanks everyone - lots of good ideas here. We have lots of barbecues in summer here but the weather is a bit unsettled at the moment so dinner will be inside. I haven't heard of collard greens so thats on the list! I like the idea of buffalo cauliflower too and I can do a bean jambalaya Once again thanks for all the good…

Yep LOL! But I have high hopes for you guys....I know there are more choices than fried :-)

Tusk - Fleetwood Mac. Heard it on a TV episode recently and it sounded powerful.

Hurricane - Bob Dylan - maybe not the greatest but a great song!

Banana sounds good. But if you aren't hungry that early, don't worry about eating before your workout, just have your breakfast after.

You look a whole lot trimmer! Beard too!

If you are going to eat...start now so your body gets use to it. You don't want to do anything different on race day. I have not done such a long run but I would have something light - what you have suggested sounds perfect.

Well done to the Oracle team. Very disappointed NZ didn't take the cup but the best team won in the end.

The bigger the better really - nice and wide track with a long belt. Buy the best you can afford - look for good second hand models as people buy them new and then don't use them and you can find a bargain.

No - a shame huh? I am similar height and weight tho older by the look of you. I found maintaining my goal weight hard and put on more weight. At this time trying to drop another kilo and have adjusted my goal weight up a little as it suits me better. Unfortunately unless you do loads of exercise daily, us small people…

I started C25K last year and have completed now some 10k runs. I have only started to enjoy running since I changed from just running to training with fartleks (speed bursts). I always felt out of breath and never thought I would get fit. Now I feel better and can run! Be patient with the C25K then move on to B210K if you…
