Sarah, Well done. Hope your little one is well soon. Patsy

Awesome! What fun. :drinker: Cheers! Patsy

Good Luck to you. Hope to read the adventure here.

WOW! Congratulations on all your healthy success this year. Really Good Stuff. :drinker:

This made me laugh. This sounds so fun. :laugh:

AWESOME!!:drinker:

This is true. Time over distance. The distance will improve with the time invested. Also when you eat around your run. Breathe around your run. Live for the RUN. The magic is the run. :love:

Give up coffee :noway: Never. Be happy drink :drinker: coffee!!

Smit do not be so hard on yourself. You are making progress. You are in training so plan out your food. Coffee for me is 0 calories with sweet n low. Add a sugar free creamer and it may hit 80 cal. It is the quality of the food you are eating. Avoid the junk and stay whole food as much as you can. Water is my only other…

Easy stop buying diet soda. Or plan to wear diapers ooops Depends when you are 40ish or 50yrs. My sister only drank diet Pepsi in her younger years now her body is racked with digestive diseases. If it can help clean rust off a car engine well that is a clue. <hug>

I am 5ft 9 wish I made it to 6ft. OH well. My DH is 6ft 5in. I remember being the tallest in the class also. Always on the back row for class photos. Never dated men shorter than me. Most of the short ones seemed to carry on conversations with my chest. hahaha. You will enjoy MFP one of the friendly user site ever. Just…

First off Maribeth STOP putting yourself down. There are enough people in this world who will enjoy the job of ripping you to shreds. You have to be on your side. I am so proud of your weight loss on your first time around. WOW! 100 pounds and YOU did that :) . Yes your body changed but now you need to work on your…

Great effort Brad. Congratulations. :drinker:

Samm today is the anniversary of our beloved father who also died from cancer. He too had only a few months from the time he was diagnosed. It is hard even 11yrs later I miss him so much. But you are her voice to speak to her children of her strength. To remind them of her love for them and for life. To always know she…

Google running clubs in your area. Most have LS shirts at good prices. Support your local running club. They help organize most races. Enjoy.

WOW you said it. You and hubs have to support each other and stop it. My DH and I have agreed to Dove Dark choc. 2 or 3 a day is what I eat most everyday. The little messages make me happy too on the inside wrapper :) But really if you live with a smoker and you smoke the only way to quit is both have to quit. The same is…

Bump. The $60 + on sports bras is STUPID. Find one that you would wear with your everyday clothes and then layer one of the more SMART money sport bra on top add a shirt and hit the road or gym. The girls do not know the difference and I am a D tata or breast just need to not hit you when you run :)

HI Laurie, Looks like you are at the right place. I will send you a friend request. We can walk this path together. I am Patsy, married, 2 teenagers and an old German shepherd Jessie.

Jolene you and your husband are great patriots. Thanks for taking care of those little girls.

Really cool. Two countries in one race what fun.

WOW you ROCK! Running is a passion for me. Enjoy your 10k.

Hi Barbie, Well I am joining this thread today on my 105th day with MFP. Looks like a great bunch of ladies. I turn 52 in Dec. and plan to complete my first 13.1 on Dec 9th. I love to do most of my workouts outside. Even my home gym is outside on the screened porch. Often I will stop by county park on my return run to do…

WOW sounds awesome. Enjoy.

I am a late morning or late night runner. I love running after 830pm. When I worked swing shift 4pm-12pm I would run after work. Sleep disorders happen for me on full moons to much light or just to much light from computers or air-purifiers. Try Tylenol if you are achy from the run or melatonin to help you sleep. For me…

CRAZY GIRL :)

Deep Woods Off anytime I run from dusk on. :grumble: bugs hate them .

Thanks for the post. Nice.

Not sure about the scale. But if you suspect you are losing muscle check your sugar. You can buy one of the monitor at Walmart for about $20. My DH used the monitor and found he was really high. He is now no longer losing muscle (his diabetes attacked the muscle not the fat) So we are working out to gain strength and we…

Yes a girl has to have a goal. Do it! Push the endurance. Only commit if you really have the time to train for it. No injuries and stay well. You first not the race. But it sounds like a good weekend. Good Luck. :smile:

WTG!! Love NSV success!
