You are a runner regardless of participating in races, but you can't say you've done a half marathon or full marathon just because you got on a treadmill and did the distance. I think you've missed the whole point of why people do races. Just like everything you do for a healthy lifestyle, it is an event that takes you out…

It's unfortunate that this pizza place closed its doors. They made a zero carb crust that was very good. Maybe someone will purchase their recipe. http://www.eshticken.com/blog/

First off, you look amazing. Second, your attention to detail is excellent. Before you get yourself into analysis paralysis, consider keeping it simple. Eat more, lift more. The slow increase in calorie intake sounds good, but change your workout routine to muscle group exercises on different days rather than total body…

Yes, you can gain muscle as a distance runner. It's not likely that you will gain any size, but you can still develop dense muscle. A weightlifter's diet and a runner's diet are on the opposite sides of fitness. In my opinion, you're going to have to sacrifice a little and reduce your mileage running. Otherwise, like…

Stop thinking maintenance. Start thinking lifestyle. Anything done in extremes is bad. Keep everything in moderation. Food and exercise. You can fluctuate 3% your weight daily simply by not hydrating so stop weighing yourself every day. The goal should be to create a pattern of activity that is healthy and reasonable so…

Knowing what it feels like changes your idea of what pain is. I can generally tell you that to me a tattoo is more of an…

Yes, cycling will help. The varied intensity and reduced stress on the joints is great conditioning.

Resist the temptation to stay indoors. Stay active and be reasonable when eating junk food. That's enough of a challenge. There's no need to complicate things any more.

Foam rollers, I use a Triggerpoint. http://tptherapy.com/shop/smrt-core-products/the-grid.html Otherwise, daily use of The Stick. https://www.thestick.com/ It's all about stretching and massaging as part of injury prevention.

Simple answer. You work out a lot and don't eat enough. Your complete daily activity of eating and exercising should allow you to end up at zero to slightly in the negative. This will allow you to safely lose weight (if that's your goal) or maintain a healthy weight. Reading through the comments, I agree you're ideal…

People may take a combination of chondroitin or glucosamine. There are many brands out there, and I can't really recommend one over another. The results haven't every really been substantiated. I took a Costco brand for 6 months and didn't feel any difference.

Welcome to the 40 club! Isn't it great!

Rocky Road is the best flavor, but also try the mocha.
