Tosca has a Eat Clean Vegetarian book. It does include some fish recipes so it's not totally vegetarian but there are some good recipes in it.

I have a Magic Bullet that I use as my portable blender. It's great not terribly noisy and strong enough for frozen fruit.

Yes! I think you can and will do better than 2:14. Just don't go out too fast. Also if you can get in a 14 or 15 mile run before I think that is a HUGE help mentally. Alot of people say that you don't need to run that far training for a half but I think the mental boost that it gives you is worth it. Just make sure that…

Me :) Just sent you both a request.

Hi - the way I do it is go here http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/calculator and figure out your tempo pace. Then I do a mile or so warm up run however long of a tempo run I want and then do a mile or so cool down.

Depending on where it was I would be interested.

8/14 - 4 miles MTD - 42.5 (New) Goal - 75

Yes let's go ahead and change it to 75. thanks! :)

8/13 - 4.25 miles MTD - 38.5 Goal - 50 I think I under estimated my mileage alittle should have gone for 75.

8/11 - 7 miles MTD - 34.25 Goal - 50

Haha yeah it wasn't alot of fun but the roads were an absolute sheet of ice so there wasn't really a choice.

If it's just rain I would go ahead with it. If it's storming or lightening and not safe then I would either do it on treadmill or try and get someone else to teach your spin class. I trained for my first marathon thru a brutal winter in Michigan and had to do 2 of 4 20's on the treadmill because the conditions were not…

I use a fuel belt similar to what the above person posted just different brand and mine has 4 bottles and a little pocket for a key or cell phone. I got mine at my local running store but you can get them on amazon.

I would do the half. 8 months isn't really enough time for a full. I had been running for 2 years and done 3 half marathons before I attempted a full. It's easy to get addicted and over estimate what you can do. Your body will respond much better and you will enjoy it alot more if you take it slow and enjoy the milestones…

I listened to that on audio as well thought it was fantastic. Hope the sequel is just as good.

I just finished Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. Not exactly sure what I think of it. Wanted to read the book before the movie came out but I'm having a hard time picturing how it's going to be a movie. Yes, I have a goodreads account.

I would suggest checking out websites to get training programs. Runnersworld.com and halhidgon.com both have good beginner plans. I am just getting back into running. I have run several halfs but they were a few years ago. My times ranged from 1:54:00 to 2:06:00. I'm planning on running one in the early part of 2013. I'll…

8/1 = 4.5 miles Hope everyone has a great August.
