Congrats & you look great! :bigsmile: I'm on week 4 of my first round.

I do this weekly, LOL. Usually a Saturday or a Sunday. I usually start logging and then quit mid-day. It hasn't affected my progress and keeps me sane!

I take it off as soon as I finish the cool-down :smile:

The New York Road Runners also has a tribute tee available. All proceeds go to the One Fund. http://store.nyrr.org/i-run-for-boston-tribute-t-shirt-p1315.aspx

Me too. Best purchase I've made in a long time.

Here are some of my favorite post-workout snacks: -Chobani yogurt -orange and a serving of almonds -1 tbsp peanut butter on a slice of Ezekiel bread -glass of chocolate milk

lol! Me either! :laugh:

For those interested in a Boston tribute t-shirt for running or just everyday wear, I just pre-ordered mine from Adidas. All proceeds will benefit The One Fund: http://onefundboston.com/ http://www.adidas.com/us/

Ran 6 this morning for Boston. :heart:

This. Intervals will help you immensely! I've been doing Insanity for about three weeks now and have noticed my pace has improved by 40-45 seconds. HIIT has really helped with my speed.

Every day (for now). I'm on my third week of Insanity; I also run on the recovery/rest days. I'll take a day off when my body tells me to.

Thanks for posting. I'm running this evening for Boston.

Agree!

The only thing I've noticed after three weeks of Insanity: I feel good and my running has improved. After strengthening my core and lower body with the various power moves, I've managed to speed up my pace by 40-45 seconds (used to run 10-minute miles and now I'm doing 9:20-9:15-minute miles). I use a HRM for Insanity and…

Watching now. FASCINATING stuff! Thanks for posting.

me too - at least you don't repeat any moves though... still :-\

I rarely ate out as a kid. McDonald's was usually an award for helping with chores, etc, lol. As soon as I was able, I OD'ed on fast food (especially in college)! Not good.

red wine, Chick Fil A spicy chicken sandwiches, Arby's curly fries, and pizza :sick:

LMFAO - I rewind this scene over and over when I watch the movie. Hilarious!

I highly recommend Graffiato - they feature small plates so portion control is made easy. Everything I've had from their menu has been amazing. Prices are reasonable, in my opinion. http://graffiatodc.com/menus/ Have fun in DC! If your budget allows, check out the Newseum. Occasionally, Gold Star, Groupon, or Living Social…

Vodka soda with lime. I had a bottle of Dogfish Head 120 a few weeks ago - 450 calories wasted on one beer. I enjoyed every last drop but I doubt I'll do that again anytime soon :cry:

I think most grocery stores sell Al Fresco chicken sausage. My fave is the jalapeno: http://www.alfrescoallnatural.com/FlavorDetails.aspx?ID=9780

Moderation. I like those small 8 oz. cans of Coke Zero.

I love them both, especially on an Ezekial Cinnamon Raisin English Muffin.

The April edition (print) of Runner's World magazine has a helpful article called "Race Away the Weight." They offer advice on losing weight when training for a 5K, 10K, half or full marathon.

I use a Garmin Forerunner 305 - it came with a heart rate monitor but I never use it. I'm more concerned with pace and distance.

I've fallen off the step in step aerobics class several times.

Congrats! I am right behind you ;-)

Agreed. Week 3 is killer.
