next time just start running circles around him, he won't know what to do.

this is awesome! just an insecure dude trying to "show off" for the girls no doubt .. F him, keep on keepin on.

you have to consider other variables too .. what kind of fuel did you body have for the run, what was the weather like, how are you feeling pre-run. I have days where I can hit a 7:30/mile over 10 miles with no problems and others where I labor to hit 8:30. Consistency is key but make sure to consider everything.

running in the rain when it's 70+ outside = awesome. running in the rain when it's below 50 ... not so much. thankfully we're in the "awesome" part of the season.

I would simply ask myself, why did I add this person in the first place. If there's no value to having them on there then get rid of them.

Oatmeal with fruit Cinnamon Raisin Bagel (or any kind really) English Muffin with bacon, egg and cheese .. I know, eggs, but it's really good. Just to name a few

Run! I ran 10 miles today and burned over 1100 calories in an hour and 15 minutes.

so is a Half

In 2004 put it all on the Sox to win the series!!

edit .. pic link fail :(

amen. I went from being able to do A pull up to being able to do 15, pushup counts are through the roof, flexibility is at an all time and I'm curling and pressing almost twice as much as when I started. Functional gains in addition to visible gains.

Fair enough regarding your experience, mine was not the same, and it will be different for everyone in some way or another. That was what I was getting at. As for it being a vanity thing, again a very broad brush to paint with .. wanting to better yourself physically (whether it be for health reasons or whatever) is what…

My wife and I have 4 kids and we manage just fine. Not only is it doable but it's good for the kids to learn about healthy eating and moderation. Your friend is copping out.

depends on what you're doing it for .. some people aren't looking to bulk up, they're looking to slim down/tone .. so while it may not be right for you it's certainly not fair to say it's useless. Personally I've seen some nice reshaping of my body, including muscle toning without much lean loss, I've also noticed big…

I made a batch of cookie dough the other night because I was craving it. I split it into 5 separate cups and put 4 in the freezer. I ate 1 a day (about a thousand calories) and did not regret one minute of it .. I just ran a little longer and worked out a little harder. Just enjoy your cookies! But yeah, to the OP, try…

the minute you laced em up and decided to put one foot in front of the other and then followed through you were a runner. Keep rockin.

congrats and good luck ... running kicks *kitten*!

makes me feel kinda funny .. like when I used to climb the rope in gym class. /Garth

I just tried to eliminate the excuses I'd give myself. Cut out the "yeah but's". I ate too much today, yeah but it was a friends birthday and we were out .. I went way over my calories today, yeah but it I had a really stressful day ... and so on etc. You're going to have bad days. Accept it but don't try and justify it…

I can't believe this hasn't been posted yet! http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GouVYvB50fY/To9Lj7U18iI/AAAAAAAAAGc/NOledLvd27E/s1600/runninggirls.jpg Great post by the OP by the way ... Some of those kids will be mean to save face (sad I know) but I would bet most appreciate that you are doing something to better your health ...…

depends on who you are, I just ran my first a couple weeks ago and had a timed goal as well. Completing I knew I could accomplish based on the training I'd put in so my goal was not just to complete it. :)

I don't know for certain but I would think it would mean the pace you would be running if you were running a competitive 5K or whatever. here, try this on for size: http://running.competitor.com/2009/12/training/understanding-your-natural-running-pace_7280

current P90X'er here too ... in better shape at 36 than I ever was as a youth/young adult. and here's a current group http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/4358-p90x-challenge

don't knock it til you try it.

Having just completed something similar myself I can attest to how hard it truly is. Congratulations to you on your awesome accomplishment!

I'm sorry about your personal experience but I was speaking generally. Most of the times people get attacked or get opinions that are less than helpful or are flat out mean are when they are posting threads like: Hey, I've lost XX pounds <pics> or I've been eating XXX calories and I'm not losing, help! ... these seem to be…

If you are coming to a public website and posting for help with whatever your needs may be you are putting yourself out there. I am by no means condoning the behavior I'm simply stating that you open yourself up for it because there are jerks here as there are in real life.

Unfortunately if you put yourself out there you'll run into people who either, a. have no tact/filter or b. are just complete tools. I will say though that although these folks generally get the most attention (for being inflammatory) they are generally few and far between .. in my experience. There are far more here that…

I found it cool that you had a transformers t-shirt on in the original sitting pic .. well done sir, well done.
