I'm almost out of my Cytomax. Good stuff, I like the fruit punch too. I just bought VPX's CarbonX the other day as it was on sale. Lemonade tasted pretty good. 1 scoop of Cytomax left then I switch to CarbonX for all my workouts.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I grabbed some wristbands the other day and took them on Monday night's 10k. While it was effective to wipe the sweat away, it felt like I was fighting a losing battle. LOL! Next on the list is a visor hat. I saw both Nike and Under Armor at my local sporting goods store, under $20 USD…

Just a quick tip to keep in mind: chest workouts use your pecs as the primary muscle in performing the exercise. The secondary muscle is the triceps. So if you workout chest and biceps on day 1, then day 2 you work back and triceps, you've basically worked your triceps 2 days in a row, not enough recovery time. This…

You know, I may just do that to see their reaction! LOL!!! Good one! Not a big fan of hats but I may give a visor a try. I saw a bunch of the runners in last weekend's Ironman had on visors. They must know a thing or two. Oh, and congrats on YOUR M-Dot!

I agree that whatever you're doing now, keep doing it. It's gotten you this far so it works. =) Also, to put things into perspective: think of someone that's running their very first 10k. What would you tell them about nutrition?

I wake up, have either oatmeal -or- egg whites. After an hour (or so), I head out for my run. I drink Cytomax right before my run and if it's hot, I'll take the bottle with me. Today I bought a container of CarbonX (by VPX Sports) as it was on sale -and- because I'm almost out of Cytomax. Oh, last but not least: I pop a…

Even if it's a little cool in the morning, you'll start sweating & getting hot soon. Wear a garbage bag with a hole poked through for your head. You'll see most garbage bags close to mile 1, thrown on the side of the road. :smile: Don't let your nerves get you. That may cause your to run too fast at the beginning. Most…

Same here. Running 26.2 on March 1st 2014.

Awesome! Thanks Carson!

Yeah I agree: take your change of clothes the day before so you can run without a backpack.

Hi Kyle, I'm doing it and it's hard. As you know, I'm training for my first triathlon (sprint tri) 2014 and Ironman 2015. With that being said, running, swimming and biking are *not* optional training sessions. So where in there does weight training come into play? I try to hit the weights 2-3x per week. It's nothing heavy…

Wow! VERY cool!!! Was the swim as hard as it looks (I'm *not* a swimmer)?

Thanks! I will!

Sure, why not? I'm single, only have my kids every-other weekend, and have a lot of time to train. :laugh:

Honestly I don't watch his program very often. Maybe once a month I'll pass by the channel (I don't watch much TV). So yeah, I can see how having a TV program and many people trying to lose weight for summer would motivate him to promote things like this. Thanks :smile:

<--- The Woodlands / Tomball area :smile:

Good job Chrissy and congrats!!!! That is AWESOME!!!! You're in good company with people that have worked their butts off to complete all that mileage! You know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you CAN run a half no matter how "hard" it sounds! If it were "easy" then everyone would be doing it! :laugh:

Very well said! Just to put things into perspective: for some, running a 5k is a major accomplishment. And I agree it IS something to applaud! I don't think it's the distance that makes it noteworthy but rather the individual(s).

Too funny! When I run at the park, I gotta make that "pit stop" right around mile 3! :laugh:

Hahaha!!! Yep, sounds valid!

:laugh: I was thinking of having an entire camera crew following me. Then when my run is complete, Morgan Freeman could add his narration. LOL!!!!

Tomball / Spring area! Good to see ya'll!

:( Sorry to hear that. Maybe stationary bike??

Hey I just peeked at your profile: you have your first half this weekend?!

Let's go! :happy:

:) I'm here, Tracy. Keeping a low profile. :)

Cool song and yes, AWESOME video!!!!!

Thanks for all the replies! I think I'm going to run it through the washer today. :)
