So does that mean I win the bet -- I told you he would be running the Philly :bigsmile: As for weight loss -- I'm all for a little public humiliation. I juest need to figure out how many calories I "should" be consuming. Never really figured that out. I can track all day long -- but if you don't have a goal it just doesn't…

Hey Becky -- when you met with your black and blue club you mentioned the nutrition talk. Any pointers/hints/guidelines you can pass along. I need guidance! Have 10 pounds to drop -- and 5 are fake pounds -- the same 5 I fluctuate in a week. Any help/advice would be appreciated! I also am covered in salt after a run :huh:

Well Kechie -- sounds like my last 1/2. I keep getting slower! I too decided to start logging a little better. If I would get my eating under control my running would definitely improve. Maybe we can help each other! :flowerforyou: I even weighed in this morning. Goal is to drop 10 pounds by my marathon in March.

I'm sitting here enjoying a glass of wine with almonds and some chocolate....thinking the diet is definitely starting tomorrow:huh:

Happy Sunday! 10 miles done....started at a 10:20 pace for the first 1/3 -- then 10:10 for the next 1/3 -- then I still felt great so I keep speeding up and finished the last mile at a 9:00 pace. Woohoo! Maybe that 4:30 goal for the marathon will be within reach! Leash -- I love that you crack yourself up!!!! Tom -- all…

Rest day for me -- except for a tough game of fottball -- me and my son against my husband and daughter. Tons of fun! long run tomorrow -- 10 or so.... Leash -- not sure if I had any extra calories -- enjoying a glass of wine and some chocolate -- but tomorrow I should have extras and they are ALL yours:bigsmile:…

Oh Leash -- I'm so sorry you are in pain -- Tuesday will be here soon -- I know it's not soon enough. Hope things ease up for you!

Happy Friday night! Got in 5 miles tonight! Enjoying Chinese food now -- seems a little counter-productive.:ohwell: Kelynn -- I like your bfs philosophy. Embrace the birth month! Enjoy and go for presents every day...hehehehehehehehe Carrot cake is one of my favorites -- yummmmm -- make sure you bring me a piece on your…

Wow Erika -- that's so interesting -- thanks for sharing. As a good Catholic girl, I better stay home from that celebration. Otherwise I might end up being the one thrown on the bonfire!

SARAH -- UMMMM SARAH -- WHERE ARE YOU????? May need to send out a search party if she doesn't arrive soon!!!! Kechie -- great job tapering -- can't wait to hear about your race -- good luck!!! Kelynn -- on your way to Becky's you can stop and see me too :bigsmile:

Happy Friday! Got in weight lifting last night and a 1500 yd swim. Will post more later -- off to get ready for work. enjoy your day! Julie

Freaky Friday???

Happy Thursday! Hope all is well! Got in 5 miles last night -- 1 mile warm-up -- 3 miles at temp 9:13 -- 1 mile cool down. Felt great! Got a pull-up bar last night. My goal -- to be able to DO ONE pull-up. I'm a big sissy whimp and have NEVER been able to do one. So I am unable to type much today as I am unable to move my…

I have run the half at the outer banks -- and it is VERY fun! Full is in November.

Happy Hump Day! Nitz is in PA -- and Byron is in Illinois. And ummmm -- well -- the Shamrock is in March -- in Va. Beach -- righ smack dab in the middle of the East Coast -- just saying!!! Although the one with the chocolate fountain sounded pretty tempting too :bigsmile: No run this morning -- hoping to get in 5 or 6…

my vote -- since it IS election day -- he runs one in the next 30 days!

Ray, I know not what you speak of.... :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: You know you secretly wish YOU were Danny Zukko

Bgood -- put down the Halloween candy and get to the track -- we are depending on you :bigsmile:

Happy Tuesday! Got in 5 miles this morning. hoping for some strength training tonight at the Y. this is part of my new plan. run in the morning and then I'm not stuck at the Y for 3 hours! Makes for a happier family! Yipppeeee!!! Kechie is in da house! I love kids -- just wish they didn't have to tell all! My kids favorite…

Kelynn -- that's what the podiatrist diagnosed me with -- a floppy arch (I'm sure he called it something much more professional sounding) I use insoles with arch support -- but I still get blisters on the outside of my big toe near the ball of my foot. Hard location to describe. :ohwell: Definitely made my aches stop --…

I feel like one of the pink ladies and the thunderbirds -- the whole gang is back together again! Yippeee!! We go together like sham-a-lam-a-lam-a ka-dinkity-dinky-donk. (and yes, I'm pretty sure I did spell those correctly!)

This is more like it! Before when Becky would go on a posting rampage, you could hardly tell cause it was mixed in with 8,000 other posts. I'm glad things are right in the world again -- the planets have truly re-aligned! ahhhhhhhhh

MUST.....EAT.....MORE.....CANDY!!!! I promise to run 8,000 miles if need be -- but PLEASE -- don't take away my candy!!!!! :bigsmile: I would be training for a marathon -- but can't seem to find a training program....ummmmhummmm (clearing throat!) Anyone know of a good one :bigsmile:

Woohoo! Love the new thread name!!! Been nursing this sore knee. Actually took 5 days off. Still a little sore -- but I am so excited to get back running. Not sure what crazy gene I possess that makes me enjoy this torture :bigsmile: Leash -- so sorry to hear that you are still in pain. Was hoping that the lack of response…

Good to see you back! love the new pic! Good luck with the new month. I too need to get back on track. My knees have been aching -- and I'm sure if I could lose this last 10 pounds they would be much happier. Here's to a happy and successful November!

That's why I love cardio -- it allows me to eat a little more:bigsmile:

if you can get lean with diet and weight lifting -- is it wrong to assume that adding some cardio will allow you to be a little more lenient with the diet?

what is a lean body fat% for women? oh -- and thanks for all those numbers :love:

I think I fall into that group. I have what I believe to be about 10 pounds that I need to lose. I started weight training in March -- and have since gained 3-4 pounds. The Y that I attend does a body composition analysis with body fat %....and I was fortunate enough to do that right when I started. I'm hoping my next…

wow -- thanks -- that is what I thought -- and I don't binge because I'm hungry. I just don't feel hungry right away. I have my coffee at 6am but truly don't feel hungry until about 10am. I feel like I am better off to listen to my body than to eat just for the sake of eating. Thanks for the input!!!! As always, thanks for…
