7/23 = 1.8 miles --- I just started a little couch-to-5k group and today was the first day we met... Gotta say it was strange to be considered the "real runner" seeing how i am a relative newbie myself. They did well and am looking forward to adding some short, easy runs to my training. Also enjoying that we run right…

7/21 = 7.2 miles WTD = 17.3 miles MTD = 50.6 miles (goal = 65 miles)

Tim VanOrden of runningraw.com follows a raw vegan 80-10-10 diet (and has for several years) "After a year of stellar performances, Tim Van Orden, 43 of Bennington, Vermont was for the second year in a row named the USA Masters Mountain Runner of the Year. But the committee didn’t stop there. They also named Van Orden as…

7/19 = 3 miles WTD = 10.1 miles MTD = 43.4 miles (goal = 65 miles)

awesome awesome! 2 more women in this world will now be cup converts! :drinker: <- oh wait, maybe a smiley face drinking from a cup is a bad choice here? LMAO! Oh well, you get the sentiment! :laugh: and for the person who mentioned thrush not being an issue anymore after switching to the cup: me too! No more itchies! And…

NBPR = "No Beer Purchase Required" Look for rebate forms on/near the beer displays... they are often something like "$10 back on purchase of X beer and $15+ of chicken and/or meat.." then says in small print No Beer Purchase Required in [lists the states].... I am in NY and more often than not, no actual beer purchase is…

gonna have to try this thanks :)

7/18 = 4 hot and humid miles... fought the urge to short-circuit my route almost the entire way. ULGH. me in my "post-run euphoria"? lol! WTD = 7.1 miles MTD = 40.4 miles (goal = 65 miles)

I match up sales & promotions to coupons available and buy in cycles when the prices are lowest (keep a pantry and stocked freezer). I also make use of NBPR rebates ("no beer purchase required") to save money on things like produce, meat and seafood (i am always on the lookout for new NBPR rebate forms!). I save between 30…

7/17 = 3.1 miles WTD = 3.1 miles MTD = 36.4 miles (goal = 65 miles)

i have one son with multiple food allergies and another son who has Asperger's Syndrome and is very picky about foods because of that, plus we have some religious dietary restrictions, so i deal with picky eating all the time... I was pretty picky as a child, and am somewhat picky now, though no where near as much. Here…

^^ this!

:laugh: oh this was HYSTERICAL!! She made several newbie errors, which were fabulously funny to read about :laugh: yes, you can wear this swimming, overnight, working out, if you're a heavy bleeder, have an IUD (use caution when learning the removal process so you properly break suction before pulling down/out). My cramps…

I have! :flowerforyou: They were fabulous! I just reheated them on my cast iron skillet and flipped mid-way thru. Super tasty! My garden is BURSTING with zucchini so i am making a quadruple batch today for the freezer :) (read: EIGHTEEN POUNDS harvested in the past two days!! :bigsmile: )

7/15 = 6.0 miles LSD run... had tummy issues for a good 2/3rds of the way and was SO HAPPY to see home! LOL! :blushing: WTD = 18.5 miles MTD = 33.3 miles (goal = 65 miles)

7/13 = 1.9 miles so much for the rest day, lol, my little sister wanted to do C25K week 1 with me, so off i went :) Bonus miles ;) Easy pace WTD = 12.5 miles MTD = 27.3 miles (goal = 65 miles)

they should be in your store, right next to the other bread crumbs :) Hope you find them! :)

i hope i am doing the conversions correctly as "cups" measure volume, so i am converting to mL for you: 240 mL (1 cup) courgette, includes skin, raw, finely chopped 60 mL (1/4 cup) onion, raw, finely chopped 22 g (1/4 cup) parmesean cheese, grated 40 g (1/4 cup) panko bread crumbs 1 egg, whole, raw (or 2 egg whites) Put…

7/12 = 3.1 miles looking forward to a rest day before saturday's LSD run (6 miles). Ramping up for a 2-person marathon relay in late September & am following Hal Higdon's Novice 2 training plan WTD = 10.6 miles MTD = 25.4 miles (goal = 65 miles)

7/10 = 4.4 miles -- another early morning run... I think i could get used to this! (says the die-hard Night Owl) :laugh: WTD = 7.5 miles MTD = 22.3 miles (goal = 65 miles)

funny to see this thread: today was my FIRST day of waking up early to run in the morning, vs my normal late evening runs (I'm a die-hard night owl!!). Got up at 545 (after debating bailing on the whole morning workout idea) got dressed, got my 3+ mile run in, showered and was feeling very happy but OMG now, at 445PM, i am…

7/10 = 3.1 miles early morning run... usually run in the evening... i think i like the quiet & cool of the morning runs! Now, to get myself out of bed more often! WTD = 3.1 miles MTD = 17.9 miles (goal = 65 miles)

7/7 = 5.6 miles -- My LSD run for the week (ramping up for a half-marathon in late September). Extremely light drizzle made the run relatively easy. Ran the loop in the opposite direction i would normally run & added in a ton of side streets. Took a wrong turn at one point :grumble: , so ended up running a cul-de-sac that…

i started taking a digital photo of my scale every morning and am not sweating the ups/downs at all... am enjoying the downward trend, over time (and my toenail color changes + darkening sandal tan lines LOL). I lost over 70lbs between Dec 09 and June 11 so i am comfortable with my patterns of ups & downs (hard workouts,…

7/3 = 3.1 miles 7/5 = 3.0 miles -- first run in my new Asics -- have been using Saucony Rides for quite some time and am switching it up some... jury is still out on how i like them (or not) WTD = 9.2 miles MTD = 9.2 miles (goal = 65 miles)

Congratulations on your transition into running! You have every right to be proud! :drinker:

i am currently training for a half-marathon in the fall & this week's plan has 3x 3mile runs, mid-week w a 5-mile run on saturday... It bumps up to 2x3-mile runs + 1x4mile run midweek w a 6-m run on saturday next week. ... so i guess i would say i run 4x a week, though the duration of those runs is ramping up until late…

I loved reading your story and seeing your pictures! Best wishes for continued success and happiness in this crazy journey called Life! :drinker:
