Here's my playlist from the 5K I ran yesterday: The Cave - Mumford & Sons Lost in the Shadows - Lou Gramm Vox Popluli - 30 Seconds to Mars Let's See How Far We've Come - Matchbox 20 Closer to the Edge - 30 Seconds to Mars If I remember correctly, it was about 23 minutes of music and I went just over it. Perfect rythym to…

I have Sportline that I got extra cheap on E-bay. I love it and find myself checking my heart rate all the time.

Do all runners over 40 get one? There is a "best time" category for 40-49, but a Masters and Overall as well.

Eggs, Salmon, Raw Almonds. Besides the obvious lean meats and whey protein powders

If we're talking low-cal, I like the Margarita Grilled Chicken at Chili's. Nice to eat semi-healthy at a kid-friendly place.

Put "Kings and Queens" at the beginning, "Closer to the Edge" in the middle, and finish with "Vox Populi". Trust me.

The entire 30 Seconds to Mars CD "This is War"- Like it was made for working out and running.

Still looking for a "before" pic when I was at my biggest. Bumped for later though.

Bud, you have my nomination for Father of the Year. And your tats are way-cool. :)

Ryan Reynolds circa Blade : Trinity. Or Bradley Cooper in The A-Team.

My son Jack was diagnosed as high-functioning autistic around 2 years old and he will be 11 this summer. Since my wife has gone back to school to get her degree in early childhood education, I've been needed to take on more responsibilities with the house, Jack, his brother, etc. I started working out in order to have…

This post made my day! My son was diagnosed as being on the Autism Spectrum at 2 and is about to have his 11th birthday this summer! You almost never hear about kids with autism growing into productive adults with normal lives. I've never given up on Jack, but there have certainly been dark days. I love the person he is…

Me too. Too bad it took me 38 years to warm up to the idea. Now I'm hooked!

Great job! You look 10 years younger!

Fit & Active Low Moisture String Cheese from Aldi's!

Bump. Cuz it sounds good and I want to try it

Very true

Vox Populi and Closer to the Edge by 30 Seconds to Mars

Nickleback are cheesy but they sure make some good music to work out to! Animals, Burn it to the Ground, If Today Was Your Last Day...

Good taste in workout music!

This is my 5K playlist: Closer to the Edge - 30 Seconds to Mars Bleed it Out - Linkin Park Let's See How Far We've Come - Matchbox 20 Time Stand Still - Rick Springfield Vox Populi - 30 Seconds to Mars

I've seen it at every grocery store and discount store, but some may only carry soy protein and not whey.

I usually keep 2 jars at a time, just for variety. Right now it's choc PB and strawberry. I won't say they shots taste good, kind of like a milky gatorade, but you can throw them down fast and it's a quick 26g. I like the new shaker not only for all the bells and whistles, but it;s shorter and wider than the old kind so…

Have you notced the Choc PB powder has a slight aftertaste? Not bad, it kind of reminds me of those wafer cookies they sell in the grocery store. Also, if you can afford the calories, shake the strawberry into some G2 Gatorade or even some pineapple juice. I love BF products and stock up on the whey powders and protein…

1 cup nonfat milk 1/2 cup nonfat yogurt 1/2 cup cold applesauce, no sugar added 2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder Pinch of cinnamon Pinch of nutmeg

Exactly.

I like the calipers system over a household scale or machine. The "egg" you sit inside is the ultimate in accuracy, I'm told, but not very convenient.

I use Body Fortress Whey Protein from Wal-mart. It's affordable and good stuff. I like the whey protein over soy because it's a little more refined and doesn't make me gassy. They have some great shake recipes on their site at www.bodyfortress.com. I've tried just abpout all of them. The Peppermint Patty shake was not good…

I do one with vanilla protein, FF Frozen yogurt, cinnamon, and applesauce. It's an apple pie shake.

Turkey chili w/ black beans! We also do turkey enchiladas and pasta w/ turkey meatballs. Even Hamburger Helper w/ ground turkey is better. It crumbles better and is an acceptable taste substitute.
