Can I ask how tall you are, because in your orange bathing suit pic, you are the exact same weight & body fat as me, and I'd sure like to look like your last pic! :)

Didn't give you my last week in April, sorry! It was a measly 9 miles, trying to rest the knees. I have been doing some killer 'IronStrength' & 'Never Get Injured' workouts though! Week 1 - 44 Week 2 - 23 Week 3 - 32 Week 4 - 9 Week 5 - Nada Total for April - 108 I'll try 100 for May. I'm going backwards!! :(

Week 1 - 44 Week 2 - 23 Week 3 - 32 MTD = 99 Knees hurting, will not make my mileage this month. Trying to rest them up before my 50 miler on May 4th.

Week 1 - 44 Week 2 - 23 (sore knees, did a bunch of strength training also) MTD - 67

Week one for April for me = 44 miles Thanks!

I much prefer Oikos over Chobani. I eat it every day, and trust me I've tried all kinds. Oikos is my fave.

I recently just ran a very cold half, and the coldness definitely affected my pace as my muscles felt stiff (I too did not dress warm enough). Some people handle cold better than others. I do not handle it well at all. You said you're used to warm weather, and with hip and knee pain, it will only make it worse. I wear 2…

80% Dark Chocolate - oh, just think of the antioxidants you will get! :)

My hands & feet are callouses, I love them, and am proud of them. :bigsmile:

Why did the one-handed gorilla cross the road? To get to the second-hand shop on the other side. :blushing:

There are studies that have proven that we land *harder* in shoes, with more impact, because we expect the cushioning of the shoe to cushion our landing, which it doesn't. It's been said you can put an egg in an oven mitt, but if you hit it with a hammer, you'll still get a broken egg! Without shoes, you learn to use your…

I think the biggest thing is to NOT decide. Don't let there be a decision involved. It shouldn't be "will I work out tonight?" but rather, I'm going home & working out. PERIOD. Just like you don't wake up every morning and say "should I go to work today?" You just do it. Make it something YOU JUST DO! Absolutely love this…

I'm not sure you have the concept down of being "fit and healthyish." Your body needs fuel and good whole foods to be fit & healthy. You need to change your weight loss to 1/2 lb per week, eat what MFP projects for you ***PLUS*** anything you burn during exercise. If you do this, you WILL lose the weight, be healthy, and…

Thank you! You have come an amazing long ways from C25k! Keep up the excellent work! I love that you home school, sounds like a wonderful life! :)

Week 1 = 26 Week 2 = 48 Week 3 = 45.6 miles Week 4 = 52.1 miles Month to Date = 171.7 Ran the Lake Effect Half Marathon yesterday, Liverpool, NY, 1:38:46, 7:33 avg pace. Got 2nd Overall Masters Female, 8th overall out of 331 women. 33 degrees F with a very cold 10-12 mph wind off the lake. Thanks Cooriander!

^^This exactly. I pretty much know after 1 year on MFP the calories in everything. I used to think "am I never going to be able to fit a cookine in my diet again?" I try to eat lots of fruits & veggies & good foods, stay away from processed, and go for the lower cal option on anything I can (tomato based sauce over cream…

Except for the gun (and liking Nascar), she's perfect.

I haven't tested myself for maximum in awhile, but last I did test I could do 11 chin-ups & 9 pull-ups, unassisted. I'm pretty sure I can do a bunch more now. I do the following most days to help me with upper body: 5 pull-ups 20 push-ups Repeat 5 times for a total of 25 pull-ups & 100 push-ups. I do every way possible,…

Does anyone else find it EXTREMELY humorous that a man is doing this? I guess he knows from experience. :)

Week 1 = 26 Week 2 = 48 Week 3 = 45.6 miles Month to Date = 119.6

Agreed! I am end of Oct, but would rather not think about it! Ewwww

Sounds like fate. You both sound shy, and without a lot of self esteem, yet you talk easily to each other & laugh & have fun. He might be a once in a lifetime chance. Go for it!

Week 2 - 48 miles (you mentioned 'other' exercise could be counted toward mileage, I did 1 hour on a FreeMotion climber & counted this as a very conservative 6 miles, hope that's ok!) MTD - 74 miles Thank you!
