That's exactly what I was going to say. If you think you need a break, you do. Lots of other things you can do to stay in shape until you're feeling ready to go back to running.

Wear a hat and look downward. You gotta watch for earthworms and puddles anyway. Glasses can help, but make it harder to see if they get covered with drips.

Use Bodyglide, don't wear cotton, don't wear a white t-shirt.

I want to eat at night when I'm tired. Eating when I'm tired instead of when I'm hungry is counterproductive. Are you tired when you are waiting up for him? If so, work on your sleep schedule. I know that I am going to eat at night normally, so I leave enough calories to do so. I don't eat between supper time and about an…

What's wrong with an hourglass shape?

Eating really is one of my hobbies too! I am trying to funnel more effort into eating better, tastier, prettier foods, in order to be better satisfied with less. It is still a real struggle to look at all of the good leftovers in the fridge and not dish up more. I have to counsel myself "you can have x for breakfast, and…

- grapes/strawberries - dark chocolate chips - pancakes in the freezer - spicy baked peas/garbanzo beans/nuts - homemade pudding - peanut butter cookies

Interesting thread. Well, to answer the OP, my kiddo has been vegetarian since birth. He has always been a tall boy, and I can remember one of the old gents at church asking me when he was three or four if all I fed him was raw meat, because he was growing so fast. Just made me laugh. He has always been within the…

Yay! I don't think I'd be able to run at all if I drank that much. I have to pee at least once every 10 k as it is!

I like this one: http://www.grainfreeliving.com/recipes/pancakes/82-buckwheat-pancakes I use tapioca starch or plantain flour rather than the potato starch. And the cream of tarter is not needed.

I am vegetarian, dairy-free, and grain-free, some other allergies. Feel free to browse my diary for gluten free vegetarian ideas.

Vegetarian for a couple of decades. Feel free to browse my diary for ideas.

Whatever you would normally have, really. A bit of extra if you're afraid of getting hungry.

I apologize for coming across as attacking you. That was not my intent, but I can come across as terse on the internet, especially as my time was compressed. You would be amazed at how often vegetarians hear this theory repeated as gospel, even by doctors and nutritionists. Even though Francis Lappe recanted it in 1981:…

Essential amino acids in plant foods: http://www.drmcdougall.com/misc/2007nl/apr/protein.htm

Please do YOUR research. Francis Lappe's theory of needing to complement proteins was based on rat studies, not human, and was recanted decades ago. With very few exceptions, a vegetarian diet that provides sufficient calories will provide all of the required amino acids in sufficient amounts. You do not have to eat beans…

I eat a lot more fruit than that. If you are staying within your calories, feeling satisfied, and don' t have any blood sugar issues, then you really shouldn't need to worry about it. I'm a little surprised that your protein level is so low. Mine is usually closer to 60, but I do eat eggs. Maybe boost your nuts and seeds…

No barefoot/minimalist running for me, unless it is just for a very short distance. I need a lift due to my leg length difference, and that's not going to work in a minimalist soft shoe.

I use Big Oven. I like the menu planner, where I can lay out my recipes into meals and then generate a grocery list from that. There is an iPhone app. Has worked well so far.

Here's an example: http://www.madejustright.com/post/quick-fix-snack-roasted-chickpeas I hear you on being busy! I work full time and homeschool my special needs teen. I am also a writer, and have to cook from scratch due to our multiple allergies and intolerances (vegetarian, dairy-free, grain-free, some nuts, various…

I'm usually around 60 g fiber, feel free to check my diary for foods that are high in the fiber column.

I like iSmoothRun on the iPhone, you can set your pace and it will tell you speed up or slow down.

Whole grains, legumes, cruciferous vegetables.

- Fruit with nuts or nut butters - Quinoa - Tofu/Tempeh/Edamame - Beans/peas/lentils - Lean meats, jerky You can make your own granola type bars using buckwheat or quinoa flakes if you can't have oats, there are recipes all over the internet. You can roast chickpeas or other beans for easy-carry snacks. Make your own trail…

So it looks like all animal products (meats, dairy, eggs) are okay for you. You'll find a lot of recipes for those in low-carb, paleo, atkins, south beach, etc. diet books. Breakfast could be an omelet, a homemade shake or smoothie, oatmeal, cold cereal, pancakes, hash browns, etc. They all look okay. If you don't like…

Yeah, and two minutes later I would throw up . . .
