My most recent NSV success is having to purchase smaller undergarments. I definitely spoiled myself there. ;)

I'm in for Keto support. I have done the low carb, years ago. I don't like sweets to begin with so this is a little easier than I thought it might be. I have been solid for 5 days now and down a few pounds. Height 5' 1" SW 142 CW 137 GW 120

Not only am I struggling with full menopause, but I am a 2yr bone marrow transplant survivor (Hodgkin's Lymphoma) The combined has hit me hard in the weight gain area. Never had to worry or work so hard to lose a few pounds. Well, 20lbs gained and I am working hard to get this off. I have switched from my usual run it off…

Not able to get the running feet going yet and fighting a cold. Keeping the blood moving with the walks. Dec 1 - 1.79 Dec 2 - 4.66 Dec 6 - 3.15

Off to just a walking start. Better than nothing. The pooch is worn out and snoring nicely next to me. :) Dec 1 - 1.79 Dec 2 - 4.66

Totally missed my goal last month. I knew it was going to be a little bit of a stretch with family in town. I have been ignoring my all important stretches and yoga causing me to deal with planter fasciitis for over a week now. KT Tape and stretching has really helped and I think I am ready to go. 50 miles

@ddmom0811 so adorable, my little lady begs to go with me as soon as I am putting on my shoes. She loves to run (speed walk is what she does) She has been sore lately so I haven't taken her with me. I am dealing with planter fasciitis for over a week now. The rest has done some good.

I have created a monster out of our little Shiatsu mix. She sees me getting my running shoes and turns into a maniac. Looks like I have a running buddy for my regular runs. Only down fall is I end up carrying her little poop bag for a good distance before I find a trash can. :s Don't believe she will make it on my long…

Super busy today, but got my run in. So much to catch up with on the pages and pages I have missed.

I was pleasantly surprised she never slowed down. Nov 16 - household chores Nov 17…

A day filled with house hold stuff. Had a flat tire this morning and was pretty impressed with myself. Took less than 15mins to put on the donut and head to my mechanic for tire repair. This lady has still caught some skills. Nov 3 - 4.73 walking Nov 5 - 7.00 Nov 6 - yoga and stretches Nov 7 - family time Nov 8 - family…

@nikkit321 Such great information. I always look for races that support a good cause. Thank you

@9voice9 that is very impressive - way to go @kristinegift very nice times and great pics @Stoshew71 love the pics @Virkati I love the feeling of my legs not being there and I can just keep going and going. I usually get this when I hit miles 4-6 and then fatigue will begin to set in again. Ditto on what Stoshew71 said…

@patrikc333 I get that on again off again knee pain also. I will usually ice my knee afterwards and also make sure I use the roller for my IT band (I'm not a consistent with this as I should be). Yoga seems to help a lot with the aches and pains. @Stoshew71 You explained the aerobic base training so well. Coming back from…

Yesterday was a rare afternoon run. I had a spare 50 minutes and could not resist the cool afternoon. Mongolian bbq for lunch was still being felt making me heavy. All in all, so happy to have been out before dark. A little behind on my miles, but I think I can get caught up. Nov 3 - 4.73 walking Nov 5 - 7.00 Nov 6 - yoga…

My goals are to run a 5K per month thru 2015, transition to 10K per month 2016 working my way to my first half marathon in June 2016. My one year anniversary after bone marrow transplant.

Who else loves to run in the rain? Feels so refreshing. It's a crockpot meal making kind of day. Nov 3 - 4.73 walking Nov 5 - 7.00 Nov 6 - yoga and stretches Nov 7 - family time Nov 8 - family time Nov 9 - 3.2 @kareF hope you are on the mend soon. @Ohhim way to go on Tri. @beachhouse758 C25K got me well prepared for my…

When life gets in the way of your running, ugh. Should be able to catch up on miles next week. Very busy weekend. Nov 3 - 4.73 walking Nov 5 - 7.00 Nov 6 - yoga and stretches Nov 7 - family time Nov 8 - family time

If I am running over 5miles I will eat something about 30mins before I head out and take water with me. I am rebuilding on my miles after finally being able to run again and will try out some GU's. I used to take sour jelly beans with me back in the day, mostly sucked on them until gone.

I recovered from my cold by Halloween and spent the next four days babysitting two gran-babies. Was able to get a good walk in with them on Tuesday. Decided to do my long run today and the cooler weather feels so good. I love removing the layers as I progress through the miles. IT started to give me issues in between miles…

@9voice9 and @7lenny7 Good luck this weekend!! Can't wait to hear how you did.

I am in for 75 miles.

I slept for over 11 hours last night. WOW I feel much better today but still resting until Sunday. My oncologist said to take care like I normally would and her being a fellow runner congratulated me on kicking *kitten* with my miles. Her running patients have always bounced back better than any others. That is so…

Scratch my morning run. :s I officially have my first cold since my bone marrow transplant. It is a little scary, emailed my oncologist just to be sure I didn't need to do anything special. Lots of fluids, vitamins, cold meds, and rest. Back in the day I would have ran anyway but a new immune system needs to be treated…

So many errands to run and I should not be wasting time reading all this great information. But still love it. So pleased with myself to have already reached my goal miles. I am babysitting grand-babies from Halloween-Wed evening. Thanks to my awesome husband I will still get my long run in on Sunday morning and will have…

@juliet3455 and @shanaber Being part of these monthly challenges and seeing everyone reaching whatever goals they have set for themselves keeps me motivated. I am thankful I can be part of that motivation. Running has saved my life. I'm not as fast as I used to be and may never get there again. But I am running and love…

Hi all, I live about 30 mins south of Sacramento CA. Nothing but acres and acres of vineyards surround my running terrain.

Thank you so much!!!
