I'm a triathlete and train 1-2x/day, 6 days a week. Just listen to your body, fuel it properly, and you'll be fine.

Lansdale! 25 miles NW of Philly :)

I've always been athletic and I get the "baby hips" comment all the time. I don't know if I could be skinny (and when I say skinny/thin, I mean those girls that are born small- no curves, little body fat)- but I don't want to be. I have definitely lost fat and I love how I look, but I love having muscle and love having…

so we've seen the offense play, and the defense play. let's hope for embarrassment's sake that they both show up for Denver. :sad:

some Lady Gaga, and "Move Along" by the All-American Rejects. When I YouTube surf I played "That's What Makes You Beautiful" (correct title?) by One Direction a few times. I'm a huge fan of Swedish metal bands, so that's a potential loss of street cred right there :tongue:
-
Thanks so much for this analysis! I will work on slowing my pace and adding in some cross-training.
-
Thank you! I will try to fuel less frequently during the run and see how that works out. I will also work on fueling the day before.
-
Thanks for this- I do find myself in the mindset sometimes that every run should be great. Realistically that cannot be the case though. I will keep this in mind :)
-
Thanks! Along with the other replies, looks like I might be fueling too often during the run. I will try to space things out next time. Good luck to you also if you make it over here! :)
-
Thanks Alan! Thinking back, I have been re-fueling with a lot of calories post-run but have not been pre-fueling as much, or more than an average meal anyway. I will try this out!
-
Thanks for the advice! I will move the schedule around to include some more mileage and another 20.
-
Thank you! I do find myself "thinking forward" a lot during my runs. I will work on staying in the present. Slowing down is also a challenge- even if I think I'm moving slower, my first couple miles always end up being faster than I wanted. I am making some progress though.

For the training, I am using Hal Higdon's Novice #1 marathon training plan. 1) this month, I averaged 24 miles/wk. 2) avg over the last 10 weeks is 16.6 miles/wk. 3) my fastest 5K is 24.55 (ran on 8/6 as one of the short runs). I have done 2 half-marathons, most recently in March 2013 and both times were 2:15. 4) checking…

I support people loving themselves and having confidence in their body but I draw the line at having a body that increases your likelihood of just about every cardiovascular disease there is, plus who knows how many other long-term health issues. Having fat is healthy, being fat is not.

I'm in! CW: ~146 GW: 140

Definitely doable. With respect to training, I feel that you'd have to stay at some medium-high mileage- like being stuck in the pre-taper phase- having only 4 weeks to race, recover, train up, taper, and race again. My legs would be feeling that!! For me, I would sign up for something like that- I love the crazy…

Glad you got some clothing that you're excited about. I see you've got some great advice so far- just wanted to reiterate to HAVE FUN!!! And for the gear or bike- do what makes you comfortable! I hope you enjoy your race :D welcome to the sport!!
-
hahaha! Loved it. thanks for posting.
-
Do it!!
-
yeah, I thought it was a troll lol. I'd be happy with the outline or the 6-pack. the outline is hard enough! ;)
-
this!! ;)

My new "usual" (for about a month now) is Greek yogurt, granola, and fruit, plus OJ and/or milk. Not every day though; I switch it up with other types of cereal, a Toaster Streudel, or fruit smoothie. But I have the yogurt/granola/fruit about 4 times a week. I love it!
-
I didn't like it with water at all so I compromised and switched to skim milk. I get a chocolate flavor so it tastes more like chocolate milk. As an alternative, sometimes I throw in a scoop of whey with fruit, yogurt, etc., and make a shake.
-
I am an endurance athlete so my goal is to make this MFP thing more of a lifestyle change. I was not in a rush and wanted to see how each component of food & exercise affected me. Out of curiosity, at first I changed only my eating habits to see if "food only" was making a difference (at the time I was not working out at…

;) (hm. in the case that my pic still isn't showing...copy/paste link below) http://www.quickmeme.com/meme/3rdmzt/ We should be able to take the AFC-W; will be interested to see what Reid's got going with KC. Should get at least half the NFC-N games. Who knows what's going on with RGIII, heard he was throwing but haven't…

LOL these are great

I want abs, I want abs!! :)

I went to Pitt- one of my roommates was from DuBois! And actually, my grandmother grew up there.

Philly 'burbs here- Lansdale (Montgomery County)!!
