  • Aka "The Mirnavator" on Instagram! I love her! I also follow "Tissyb1991", and she keeps it real. She runs HM, swims, just did a duathalon & is training now for a marathon. She shares her successes and failures. There is also "300poundsandrunning". If you want to run, then run. Like others have said, start sow and steady,…

  • Hmmm....looking at these numbers, I might have to revamp my goal, will do that this weekend. I have a 5K on Saturday. Signed up for a virtual one for ASPCA in memory of my dog, Emma, who I lost in Febuary after 14 years, and for "Emma Loves Animals" a girl in Milwaukee area who died of cancer & the family started a charity…

  • I'm in! I used to cycle quite a bit, but then...well...life! I moved states last year & since there is no room in the apt for my bikes, they have both been in the storage unit. Last week I brought my road bike home, unfortunately it is out on the balcony, but covered in a bike cover, and the weather has been, for the most…
  • I was looking for just a challenge such as this! Revamping my activities, as I was starting a HM running plan. However, due to physical issues, migraines and emotional blocks, I decided to put my old standard of running on the back burner for a while. My plan now is to walk, bike, yoga and ST, running only when I choose…
  • Hello! This will be my 1st month joining in. I was on the running challenge board for a while, but, after re-evaluating myself and realizing that running needs to take a back burner for the time being (migraines, arthritic knees etc), I need to focus on other movement ventures. I plan to walk, bike, yoga, and ST, and,…
  • Thank you to all who made suggestions about my seeing a doctor. Yes, I've been seeing doctors for years. I have chronic, clinical migraines that unfortunately seemed to increase when I moved back north & take daily prevent meds for them. We have been talking about different meds & treatments for them, and he did give me a…
  • To fill y'all in: Monday 4/27 - Ran 3 miles. Finished around 0930, headache started around noon, noon:30. Finally ended about Thursday (4/30) afternoon/evening. Over the weekend, no coughing or fever, but my body felt like it had been beat with baseball bats & dragged benhind the car. Canceled my blood donation…
  • I watched that clip, and did my usual "Hey Google, please don't murder in my sleep" to mine. He answered me "I'm sorry, I can't help you with that." Now I'm worried....
  • Thank you all for the words of support & encouragment for my "down" week. I did some regrouping in my mind, some self motivation & bargaining, so let's see how well I go from now. PF: It can be a BEAST! I had it so severely in my right foot that I would literally crawl from the kitchen to the living room because it hurt…
  • I haven't done anything today, but when I pull up Strava, it does give a notice that "Google Maps is currently experiencing issues." Hmmm, judging from what y'all have been saying, ya think? My heart just hasn't been in it this week. I know I should just suck it up and run anyway, but I just am lacking motivation! I did…
  • I have a "Weekly menu" template that I have saved from when I was seeing a nutritionist when I was working (a few years ago). I have been going through every day & generating a menu & typing it in my plan, then typing out the recipes onto another Word Doc. Right now it is a basic idea, I know I'll have to add some things…
  • I was seeing a nutritionist a few years ago & we were going over my daily meals & talking about the water part. I said I counted my 3 cups of tea in the morning as part of my water, then I had my big water cup that held 6 cups, so I was getting 9 cups per day. She said she would prefer that it would be 9 cups of straight…
  • @katharmonic Yes, Hal is my "coach" right now. I've actually used several of his running plans, from the website, before. I did my 15Ks strictly with his plan. Just downloaded the app a little while ago, decided to go with that. @brittanystebbins95 I have heard of Sparta, but don't think I've been there (or if I was, it…
  • I decided to change things up a bit, and start the HM training now. Changed my goal on the Hal App, and wow, sure jumped up the running! The HM is in August so I'm hopeful, but even if it isn't, I keep in mind the words of you here who have said that training made you better runners. Yesterday, I headed out for the 3rd run…
  • buahahahaha....do NOT ask me to compile this! My brain is fried right now, but DONE with this semester. Have 6 weeks off now due to the start of the next semester being pushed back. YAY - now I can binge watch tv, knit, sleep....
  • @kgirlhart Happy birthday!!!! Toes: On my right foot, #1 & #2 are same length, #3 is shorter. Now, on my left foot, the one that had ortho surgery on, 4 or 6 screws in the base of the toes, #1 bends more to the outside (laterally), so #2 is slightly longer, but #3 is shorter again. Yes. I know. I'm "weird". Been told that…
  • @bearly63 When I lived in FL, I was a regular donator of platelets, so when I moved up here last year, I went in to donate only to be told that since I didn't get my last tattoo in WI, I had to wait a year. So, I called up several weeks ago to do my 1 blood donation to set me up as a platelet donor. Waited til my…
  • GOAL: Run 2-3 times a week, virtual 5K on May 23rd Week 1: 3/31 - 4/5 - No run or walk. 2 runs the previous week which gave me 2 bad headaches each.

  • @mbaker566 I have that same buff. I love it!! And, when I first pulled up your pictures, I thought "Kelly Roberts posted here?!" Then I saw Speed Demon and knew all was well in cold, April in WI! @brittanystebbins95 So sorry to hear your companion isn't doing well! I had to put my fuzzy daughter to sleep almost 2 months…
  • Yesterday's walk I had planned to recharge my spirit by talking a walking in "the woods", aka the state park down the road. However, due to people being...ya know, people, all the state parks here in Wisconsin are now closed. Completely. They were coming in in groups, crowding others, littering, etc. Even the little…
  • Oh wow! 22 pages already! No way I will be able to catch up at this moment, in the home stretch for this semester of school, 4 classes, last chapters of work and finals coming up. But, at least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel with that at least, then I get to find out what everyone else has been posting about:…
  • Just read in the news that an employee of one of the grocery stores I was in last week has tested Covid-19 positive! Great. Of course, didn't say WHERE in the store she worked, but now I'm being even more vigilant of myself.... (And, of course, hoping she and the other employees and customers are well and safe.)
  • @Avidkeo My heart goes out to you, and I can see your situation from both sides. I am the daughter of a nurse, and, even though the situations aren't exactly the same, I remember many times when my mum was working night shift and a blizzard blew through and she had to stay at the hospital. Or some other situation happening…
