MFP has mine set at 1600, only because it changed it to lose 1 lb/week if I do 2/week then it changes it to 1200. I recently changed it to 1600 and it seems to help me lose a little better.

3.7 mile group run tonight. Monthly total- 5.8 Need to get moving!!

LIve in central Texas…originally from Iowa

friend request sent.. good luck to you

Friend request sent. Lots of luck on your journey…you got this!!!

you definitely need to up your calories…no less than 1200, and you need to work out to get your metabolism boosted.

Oh wow! I'm glad that works for you, but I value my sleep too much to get up to eat 3 hours before a race. I don't think I could do that. Normally that would mean eating about 4 am! I don't get enough sleep before a race as it is because of being excited/anxious. I've eaten those frozen Smuckers Uncrustables peanut butter…

Friend request sent..my suggestion, don't compare yourself to others, just go to have fun! There is never any shame in walking, go with what your body is telling you. If you aren't having fun, you won't continue to run/walk.

I'm also a runner 5! very early in the mission

I also do immodium before a race, usually the night before, just before I go to bed. I don't usually have an issue with having to pee during a normal run.

April 1st- 2.1 miles for me

I sent you a friend request, I'd like to be a sister

Friend request sent….lots of luck to you.

Heck yea! And be warned…racing (no matter the distance) becomes addictive. I started with 5k's and went to half marathons. The half is my favorite distance!

You can average it out to 1 mile/day, it's just a total of 30 miles for the month. you might be able to walk also. I'm not the one that started the post, so i'm not sure. in my opinion, as long as you are getting out there!

i am in! I've been trying to get back on track with running again.

absolutely sign up. It gives you something to look forward to and strive toward. I started out with a 5k and got addicted and worked my way up to half marathon distance. Races are very addictive. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like.

I also did day 1 yesterday, I log it as circuit training, because it is constantly going back and forth between exercises without breaks.

Honestly, just google it. If you find one you like, go for it. Otherwise you can print out several different ones and create your own using those as a guide. Good luck! The half is my favorite distance.

OMG! I'm super excited about this, and can't wait to get home to start. Thank you so much for sharing.

Loaded baked potato and chicken casserole. A family favorite.

I've been looking for the same thing, but I'm in the U.S. sorry.

Only half crazy here also. Training for my 6th half which will be March. Congrats to you, some day I'll get there.

For me, chewing gum actually helps me with my breathing. I can't go any length of a run without gum. I've had to experiment with several different flavors, and found Extra Spearmint works best for me.

Any one is welcome to add me. I'm also a mother of 2. I start strong, and then come to a stop!

I've been looking for a texting buddy too. But i'm 38

NTC has a variety of options, you can pick: get lean, get toned get strong, and get focused. and each has beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. But the plan I'm following tells me exactly which ones to do which day. This is the link for the training program:…

Anyone can add me also. Today I start a new half marathon plan. It incorporates the NTC (Nike Training Club app) into it. I'm actually looking forward to it. I have the link if anyone else is interesting in doing it with me.

I have found a really great half marathon plan that incorporates the Nike Training Club App with it. I'm starting tonight, if anyone else wants it let me know and I'll send it to you. Who wants to me accountability partner?

I also prefer the heat of Texas than the winter. I don't really go off of a certain temperature, for me it just depends on how windy it is.
