I like music when I run, but I usually run four days a weeks so sometimes it can get tiresome. I just started listening to physics lecture podcasts. You should be able to find podcasts for any topic that interests you, for me it's science.

I had this book ordered when this thread came up and just finished it last night. It was amazing! I could't wait to get up at 4:30 this morning just so I could run.

Make sure you are taking the time to get a good cool down. Stopping quickly when your heart rate is too high can als cause headaches.

Hi Becky. I also just turned 30 in November and am surprised that I feel older. It takes me longer to warm up and cool down from my cardio routine and when I push myself too hard, the stiffness and soreness the next day is worse that I can remember. I wondered if it was a mental thing with turning 30, but that doesn't…

At first glance, this doesn't look too easy, but it is pretty quick to put together. This recipe makes A LOT of food. When I make it, I freeze about half of it it ziploc bags to reheat later. I guess this could also be halved to not make as much. 1 lb dried pinto beans 3-4 lb pork loin roast (halved or quartered) 1 can…

I could handle 7 degree mornings. The other day we had a high of 9 and a low of -28.

I feel your pain, we live in a small rural town also (population 5000). Our gym membership is $40 for an individual and $60 for a couple. It is nothing special, just a gym. It does have daycare, but only for one hour a day and only during the week.

This makes me feel beter, I thought I was the only one who thinks bathroom water tastes weird. My husband gives me a hard time about it.

I am also an afternoon snacker, but I drink my coffee in the afternoon. When I drink coffee it curbs my snacking. I always make sure I have enough calories left. I guess it is my afternoon snack.

My husband and I eat a lot of wild game. We eat deer, elk, pheasant, and we also have some caribou from a hunting trip my husband took. We usually just have the best parts made into steaks and have the rest made into burger, jerky, or sausage. I use the burger in anything that will be seasoned like spagetti or tacos. We do…

That would be neat to see. I hope the next picture wasn't of the car going end over end.

It was a fun car. I would like to have another one, but don't think I could keep my foot out of it.

1. My bassett hound snores terribly. 2. I play golf and have a 10 handicap. 3. I drove a '67 Mailibu SS in high school and got to know the local cops on a first name basis. 4. I ripped the passenger door off of said car while still in high school. 5. I married my husband when I was 17 and we have been married for 12 years.…

You should go to the theatre that we have in town, you wouldn't dare eat in there. Works well though, I don't want to snack during the show.

MFP also recommended 1210 for me to loose 1 lb a week. I don't have the time to exercise everyday and I was starving the whole time I was trying to stay within these calories. I took an average from three other sites plus this one, and it came out to be around 1325. This made a big difference for me, I wasn't hungry all…

The best one I have for running is from Champ Sports. For me, the sports bras that come up higher in the front are better that the lower cut ones. They seem to control the flopage better.

Try adding a few more calories each day. I started here eating 1200 calories with 10 lbs to loose. After two months, I upped my calories to 1325 and finally lost my first pound last week.

The ones on my playlist now that make me kick it into gear are: Ace of Spades - Motorhead Cowboys From Hell - Pantera The Grouch - Green Day So Whatcha Want - Beastie Boys Who are You - The Who Cover of the Rolling Stone - Dr. Hook Everlong - Foo Fighters Christian's Inferno - Green Day God Save the Queen - Sex Pistols…

Shin splints can be caused from fallen arches. When I played ball in high school, I used to roll a can under each foot to strengthen my arches. This seem to help me.

This is hilarious. I will also have to get out my old textbooks to get completely through this.
