Planning to head to the local park and take some pictures - finally a nice day out :) Then off to get the groceries.

Proctored the SAT test this morning, but stood throughout the entire thing :) then headed to the gym for 68 min cardio workout after dropping my daughter and her friend off at the movies.

Sign me up please...

I understand the correction - what you stated is actually my intent, I just stated it incorrectly... :) I ran 20 per week (around January/February for an October marathon) for several weeks before upping it, and ended around 50 per week (late Aug/Early Sept) at the max (1 or 2 weeks of the training schedule). I could look…

I completed my marathon about 13 months after I started running. I ran a 10k, a 15k and a VERY HILLY 10mile race during the training, and finished the marathon in 4:16:58... I was 35 at the time. Things that I did that I believe helped me tremendously: - proper shoes (as many have mentioned) - learning to eat the right…

I used several recipes from this site http://whoneedsacape.com/tag/40-meals-in-4-hours/ (and a couple of others similar to this) and made 20 freezer bags of meals for the crockpot over Christmas break this year. It was one of the best things I did to help us avoid eating out too much during the winter months, which for me…

Adding 4.25 more for today... 1/2/14 - 3 mile run on treadmill + 1 mile walk around track 1/6/14 - 1 mile run (cut short due to son's trumpet lesson ending early) 1/7/14 - Step Aerobics Class 1/8/14 - 3 mile run on treadmill + 1 mile walk (+ stairs between laps) around track 1/12/14 - 4.25 mile run/walk mix (3 mile run +…

Off to a slow start thanks to the cold and my lack of motivation... but still determined to get to 60 by the 31st... 1/6/14 - 1 mile run (cut short due to son's trumpet lesson ending early) 1/8/14 - 3 mile run on treadmill + 1 mile walk (+ stairs between laps) around track

1/3/14 3 miles run on treadmill + 1 mile walk track Planning to add more today once we dig out of the snow.

I'm in - gonna try for 15 per week for a total of 60... Need to get back on track!

This sounds cool... I need to check these out

Sounds awesome - I love all things pumpkin!

Sounds interesting - I have some pumpkin I need to use up!

Great ideas!

That chicken sounds great...

Sleep in your work out clothes - that way all you need to do is get up and go...

^^^ This I started to build up cardio endurance on the elliptical, then mixed in jogging/running on the treadmill. At the same time I would do step aerobics/strength classes at the Y. There was a lady there who was in her early 70's who said "If I can run a marathon, so can you" (I was in my mid 30's). Well, that sounded…

I'd love to give this a try - I need to stay motivated now that I've started heading back to the gym...

Ha - we basically posted the same thing at the same time...

Actually, the glass is always full - it's just not necessarily full of one thing... Water/milk/liquid and air :) That's how the scientist/chemist in me sees it!

I have this same mug and EVERYONE is always commenting on how big it is and how much they like it/want one! We actually have two of them in our house...

Brooks, then Saucony then Asics

Wow - what a list! Marking so I can print these later!

This sounds awesome.... Here's a really simple, but delicious dinner/side dish: 1 can great northern beans 1 can diced tomatoes balsamic vinegar basil/oregano Drain and rinse beans Mix all ingredients and heat until warm.

So many great ideas... I made a Quinoa Pudding last night (kind of like rice pudding) which turned out well. Recipe was found at http://www.quinoa.net/181.html 2 cups quinoa, cooked (basic recipe) ½ cups raisins 3 cups milk ½ cup shredded coconut 1/3-cup honey or ½ cup brown sugar 1 tsp vanilla ½ cup almonds or walnuts,…

Yummo! Love my Cliff Bars! Gonna have to try these!

sounds soooo yummy - Been making a lot more soups/chili lately. Gonna have to try this one!

Love my Brooks!

Love my Brooks! The motion control are the "Addiction" I believe (the stability are adrenaline). I sometimes get the two mixed up, but you should be able to tell/ask.
