I'm doing the BTN Big10K on Saturday in Chicago. Love the Big Ten schools theme!

I like your mom hat. It looks good on you. :)

I am! You're ahead of me, though. I'm on week 3. My races this weekend are throwing off my long run schedule too. I may swap this week with next week or something. I'm just doing the novice program, so there's no speedwork for me. I think that's too advanced for me. :) At this point, I'm thinking I'll just work on my…

9/15 - TriRock Lake Geneva sprint triathlon (Williams Bay, WI) 9/16 - Bucktown 5K (Chicago) 9/22 - Fort 2 Base 3 Nautical Mile (Great Lakes Naval Station) 11/4 - Hot Chocolate 15K (Chicago) 12/1 - Santa Hustle 5K (Chicago) I'm considering going for a HM in late January or late February, depending on how training goes for…

Mine is frizzy and curly, but I've never been able to braid my own hair. It's just shy of shoulder length, and the front pieces don't really fit into a ponytail, so I pull everything into a low messy bun (that I can manage to squeeze through the back of my helmet) and clip and bobby pin the shorter layered pieces as best I…

I'm running and biking as part of my training, so I'm going to set a goal of 43 miles: 8 miles running, 15 miles out of my spin class, and 20 miles from biking to/from work one day. Logan

Great challenge! SW: 194 GW: 174 It's going to be hard with the holidays, but I'm gonna try! Logan

Here is the list of the newly formed "A Team" (thank you Spudeata!!): Ladysummers tarisa222 lturner8 bmd1011 Copperycat Meghan0116

Hi there - I haven't been super active on this challenge, but I'd love to be included in the next one please! I'm doing so well and I need to keep my momentum going! Logan

I used to struggle with this a lot. One of the best ways I found to force myself to stop heel-striking was increasing my stride turnover. There's a good article about it here: http://running.about.com/od/howtorun/f/strideturnover.htm. Focus on moving your feet quicker and shortening your stride, and your body will…

Me too YaYa. :( We can get through it. I'm trying to forgive myself for a holiday-filled weekend of rich food and not enough water or exercise (or ANY exercise). Day 1: Challenge Exercises: No Water: 6 Cups Under Calories: Doesn't look like I'm going to make it... Miles Walked: 0

It was a terrible weekend for me due to my family celebrating both Passover and Easter. Yikes. I need to be better about water drinking on the weekends! Still, I'm down 2 pounds so yay!

Day 4 Under Calories - No Exercises Completed - No Glasses of water - 9 1.5 miles toward exercise goal. Bad, bad day. I think my lunch outing gave me food poisoning, which foiled my gym plans. Off to bed early and am hoping for a better day tomorrow.

Day 3 Under Calories - YES Exercises Completed - NO Glasses of water - 14 No miles toward exercise goal. I knew this was going to be a time-crunched week, so I'm trying not to be too down on myself for not squeezing in my exercise - for the challenge or in general. Tonight I'm just too tired and am going to bed. Next week…

Day 2 Exercise Challenge - Done Water - 13 glasses Under calories? - No Walked 2.1 miles of my Evening Walk Challenge

Oh goodness. The Girl Scouts descended upon my office building this morning. Avoid eye contact! Avoid drooling over delicious cookies! The good news is I have lunch plans at a healthy restaurant that requires a long walk to/from so I will keep that good motivation in mind as I rush past the Lobby of Temptation. :bigsmile:

I'll be doing the EVENING WALK challenge, as well as the C25K. I'm going to start conservatively, but may up this later on.

Hi everyone, I just joined today as an Enthusiast, so I think this is my new team! I'll be doing the C25K Challenge as part of the Evening Walk Challenge too. Starting weight: 210. Day #1 exercise challenges - done Water - 13 cups Under calorie goal today - yes Did not get to my walking challenge today. Logan

Is it too late to join? I weighed myself this morning and am already tracking food/water. I really need the motivation, but if it's too much hassle I understand. Thanks! Logan
