New shoes so that is not the issue... same brand I previously wore for the past year or so with no issues... Coincidence it came on right after the fall but definitely think it is ITB due to location... not the area I fell on actually but close. I have basically completed my training program and just wanted some extra…

if you have an iphone or such you can download a free app that will tell you when to walk/run

bump... advice please??!!?? :bigsmile:

Did it early spring last year and have done several 5Ks (actually just one today), a 10K, a half marathon and training for my second half. Placed 2nd in my age group today! Great program!

You are going to kick butt in the actual half! You beat my time of my first half by at least 5-6 minutes or so! Way to go!! I am hoping to come in under 2:28

I have a garmin 405 love it!

I think it is something you have to personalize. Some people do eat all their exercise calories, some don't... I am currently trying to find what works for me. When I was eating them all, I kind of stalled out. Sorry I could not answer yes or no! :ohwell:

I don't think it is an excuse or cop out... you don't HAVE to gain weight as you get older but to avoid it, you do need to make different food choices, up the workouts, etc... you cannot do the same thing you did in your 20s and 30 and maintain your weight in your 40s or 50s. I have worked out all my life and have to work…

I just had my yearly physical and I discussed with my doctor how hard it has been to lose these last 5 pounds. I am perimenopausal and she explained that hormones (loss of estrogen?? do have somewhat of an effect on weight loss/weight gain. She did point out that I am in an appropriate BMI but I know I am going to have to…

That is what I did and there was just a 1 calories difference, 150 for using the low fat, 149 for the nonfat, everything else the same. The printed recipe I had gave me the calories of 180 something with the nonfat.

yeah, not going to be doing that... time consuming enough to enter the stuff. I will go with the higher value to be safe.

Okay, I just did and it took 1 calorie off my recipe... My calculations come to 150 calories. The recipe I have is 187...

No I did not... good idea.. I did not even think of that!

Actually doing one while on vacation. We go to Cape May everything and there is a Triathlon/5K in Wildwood. Love to run on the beach and would run while on vacation anyway so why not do a race... my husband, who is not a runner at all, is doing it with me. He ran a race with me the other week and kicked my *kitten*... I am…

I got motivated by a friend of mine to take up running again last year. I have kind of run off and on over the years but not consistently. I run because it gets me in great shape and allows me to be a bit more lenient with my diet. I also like the feeling of accomplishment of a long run. I did not think I was competitive…

I make chocolate milk all the time with half unsweentened vanilla almond milk and half 1% or skim milk. I prefer almond to soy milk for sure.

Love it for breakfast. I cook it in almond milk/1% milk, once all liquid is absorbed I add in brown sugar, canned pumpkin, berries, cranberries... anything you like!

Currently training for my second half marathon... anyone feel free to add me!

Add me if you like... I am soon to be 47 :grumble: and work out about 6 days per week. Currently training for my second half marathon. I have between 5 or 8 pounds to lose depending on the day! I run and do strength training. No 2 legged kids but 2 cats and 1 dog.

Moving Comfort. I used to have to wear 3 sports bras for running and cardio, now one does the job!

I have a big, goofy, adorable chocolate lab, almost 6 years old... about 10 times the size he was in his pic here!

I think when I was looking for running stores in my area I just googled speciality running stores. You should be able to come up with something.

There are alot of different variables that go into how many calories an individual burns. I find MFP to be high on some things, close on others. I usually wear a HRM to get a better estimate. Gym machines also tend to give you a high number. In comparison they are usually 1/3 or a 1/2 more times what my HRM says. That…

Count me in... this 5 or so will get me to goal! SW: 145.2 CW: 145.2 GW: 138 Weigh in Dates: 8/2: 145.2 8/9: Rest of weigh in dates TBD as I will be on vacation! I will just be happy to see me out of the 140s! I am not too unhappy with being in the 140s but too close to the 150s for my liking!

PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!!!!!! :love:

I completed my first half last year (2:28). I am training for my second one in September. I run 3 times a week, shorter runs weekdays, long run Saturday. Following my own version of Hal Higdon's novice training program. I strength train on off run days. I really don't run for time. I run by how my body feels that…

Why are HRM not accurate for strength training. I know my heart rate does not get high but it still calculates calories.

Although I follow Hal Higdon's plan regarding mileage for HM training, I kind of do my own thing in regards to cross training doing 3 days of running, 3 days of strengh training. I actually do some form of cardio every day (walking my dog, pre-strength training warm ups on treadmill) but I don't do any other serious cardio…

My running store fitted me with a 1/2 size bigger than my normal shoes. But it could also be your gait, stride.
