I have learned something new today! I will keep my laces a little looser!

I think it all depends on what you mean by "race." Unless you've been running a long time and racing at 10ks or longer with that, I would say that your goal for a first half really should just be (like Jeff Galloway says) to finish upright, with a smile on your face, wanting to do it again - so not aiming for time at all.…

I decided not to do the Nut Job since I'm doing the Titanium Girl challenge... But I may still change my mind :)

Add me! I'm doing two a week apart - the Iron Girl Half on 4/28 with my friend who is a new runner, and the Frederick Running Festival Half on 5/5 that I'm going to try to beat my previous time for.

Just a thought - the "natural light" bulbs at the hardware store and Ikea refer to the color of the light and not intensity. You need a really bright light to suppress melatonin secretion to really help with the winter blues - so those bulbs are not going to do it, you need something that is a light therapy device. Amazon…

Hey, is there any chance you could be depressed and just noticing it in your body more than in your heart? Feeling low energy and eating a lot are really common symptoms of depression, especially the seasonal kind (if you're in the northern latitudes this time of year). Thyroid could be another issue. All good reasons to…

I'm a huge fan of John Bingham - his book Running for Mortals is like one big pep talk for getting started, and Marathoning for Mortals has a bunch of rational training plans that actually fit into a life.

I have a Forerunner 405CX that does all of that. It doesn't have the 610s fancy touch screen but boy do I love my Garmin. Their website (Garmin Training Center) is pretty good too, and free, and most other common websites (though not MFP!) will also upload data from Garmins.

My newbie running buddy completely outfitted herself with winter and spring running clothes for under $100 at TJ Maxx. I was jealous! I'm also a big fan of Target.

I haven't done a challenge before but 50 days sounds good! My goals are: 1) Run at least 3 days per week 2) Yoga at least once a week 3) Lose 10 pounds If I meet my goals, I will reward myself with new running gear!

Hi! I've been trying to eat clean for about 6 months now, and like others I'm probably 80/20 - not fanatical about it but would like to keep getting better. My body just feels better. I am trying to get more involved on MFP and would love more friends.

I use Fresh20 too and I love it - the weekly prep does keep weeknight time to a minimum, the food is flavorful and it makes it easy to follow a clean diet, and because of the limited ingredient list it's actually fairly economical. I've tried a couple of others - Six O Clock Scramble (nice flexibility, kid-friendly, but…

Hi! I've been running for about 2 years now, and have done 2 half-marathons. My superpower is running REALLY slow - I did my last half at about a 13:00 pace and was actually running for all but a couple minutes of that whole almost 3 hours! But I feel so strong when I run and each new distance or PR feels like such an…

Add me! I could use some support.
