Every race. I don't race a ton, perhaps if I did it would affect how much he attended.

I have been larger, and I have been skinnier and I found that I never really was happy. So first, you have to love yourself for who you are right now. Other people don't matter and what they say doesn't matter. I also found that when I would say I was on a diet I would psych myself out thinking I would be hungry. So I…

I too run with my dog. I don't have cougars where I live but we do have lots of coyotes. I recall I was running from my tractor back to my truck in the middle of the night, (we are farmers and I was raking hay) and there were tons of coyotes getting the mice and gophers under the hay. I was so scared that I would be…

Run! All you need is a good pair of shoes. Or you could invest $10 and get a Jillian Michael dvd for working out at home. All you need are some light weights between 1-3lbs. It's seriously the best $10 I have spent!

Also try to run on softer ground like a dirt road compared to pavement. I run on dirt roads all the time and when I switch to pavement or concrete I really notice a difference! And ice after every run and if you have a day off. Lot's of ice should help on top of the sneaker issue that was mentioned. :)

For an 8-10 mile run I usually drink cold water on a belt or set it somewhere on your run. But I also take one packet of Gu energy gel. It's not great and goes down slimy so the Gu Chomps are much tastier but they can become pretty pricey. I also ran a half where they had gummy bears for energy! I never thought a gummy…

I didn't look at your calorie thing but that's a significant jump for someone who apparently is eating few calories. Perhaps, it's not calorie related at all. The first thing that came to my mind is could you be pregnant? Something that is easily overlooked and sometimes people are unaware or have normal periods and don't…

I have found that it's about loving yourself no matter what the numbers or sizes say. I have never been super overweight, just chubby, and I didn't like myself then and I didn't like myself when I was really slim right before my wedding. So when I was skinny I was unhappy, when I was chubby I was unhappy and it made me…

I haven't been super dedicated with it but I have still seen results. It kicks your trash, so be prepared! But for 20 minutes and the burn you get the next day, you just can't beat it.

When you run for an hour you really do burn between 500-600 calories, sometimes more depending on how intense your workout is. My treadmill is never correct on the calorie count and I don't think most machines are because they don't take into account age, weight, and level of exertion you are exhibiting. I like to run and…

I am 5'8 and my goal is 140. 135 would be nice but it also might be on the skinny side too. I just did the Jillian DVD the last two days and she totally kicks your butt so be prepared. But for 20 minutes of working out with sore muscles to prove it, it is just awesome. I also like to run so my advice to you would be for…

"store in sandwich bags or in an airtight container." Or how about in my belly! Can't wait to try them. Thanks.
