I walk for 5-10 minutes before starting my C25k program, stretch, do the program, and then stretch again. My shins are much happier for the early stretch.

Yum!

Just made this Monday (copied from my recipes, so numbers may not line up properly): Recipe name: Balsamic Pork Roast Number of servings: 6 Ingredients Pork - Fresh, loin, whole, cooked, roasted, 18 oz Trader Joe's - Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, 8 Tbsp (15mL) Kikkoman Soy Sauce - Low Sodium, 1 Tbsp Lea & Perrins - the…

In May I had finished Week 4, then summer intervened and I was away for most of June, and these joints aren't ready yet for the punishment of pavement. Sigh. So, last night I started again. To test myself I upped my "run" speed from 4.0mph to 5.0mph. I figured it may take me a few tries to make it through, like it did when…

OP - can I assume you use a big (5-6 quart) crockpot? Trying to sort out how best to size these down for my 2-3 quart (single person) crockpot :-)

Yum!

yum!

Need to try this one!

Balsamic Browned Butter Asparagus: 1 bunch asparagus 1-2tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp butter 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tsp soy sauce (I used low sodium) Lay the asparagus out flat on a baking sheet (that has raised sides) Coat with a thin layer of olive oil (I use a small basting brush to spread evenly and use as little as…

I work 4, 10-hour days, and dislike mornings immensely, so go on my way home from work.

bump, for home

Save for later!

Garth Brooks for the win! Count me in!

This weekend, most definitely.

It sounds like you've irritated some of the small bones in your foot. I did the same, on both feet! Best remedies I've found (from the orthopaedist and elsewhere) are: 1) ice (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off), directly following exercise that might aggravate it, and on off days to help keep the swelling down. 2) Ibuprofen…

You said the magic word! (bacon...but really, it's obvious)

"You just don't understand me...I beat the drummer to my own tune."

36, never married, no human kids, one fur kid...it is what it is. Feel free to add me to your "weird" people list!

bump!

I followed these instructions: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/262875-need-help-adding-pictures-look-here-pic-heavy

I would like suggestions too, so I'm here to see the responses. My problem is that the earbuds I have shock me while I'm on the treadmill unless I touch the HR monitor hand grips every 5 seconds or so.

I was away from C25K for a couple weeks, and afraid of the consequences. Well I did W4D3, and made it through, with only an added 30seconds of break time before the 2nd 5 minute round. Turns out I accidentally bumped up my speed (I use a treadmill) by 0.2mph also. I'm going to repeat W4D3 at the higher speed and see if I…

I posted before and referenced my "Border Collie Mix"... Well, my Mom bought a genetic test for her "granddogger's" 2nd birthday, and the results are in. Lab, Husky, Weimaraner, and my favorite, Toy Fox Terrier. No Border Collie, not even a little.

I'm in Burke! (NOVA)

I have a Polar FT4 and love it. It isn't the fancy kind that automatically uploads to the internet or anything, but it does all the important things. You can get one for ~$60 on Amazon. The important things to look for are: 1) chest strap (the kind that read off your wrist are not very accurate) 2) allows you to input your…

Excuse me if this sounds a little condescending, but that's what science is. Proving something based on data that other people wouldn't necessarily put together. [/quote] No. That's called theorizing, or the creation of a hypothesis. Science requires you to prove your hypothesis in a systematic way, such that others could…

Pedometers track steps taken. If they're calculating calories burned from that, they are likely doing so based on averages among a population. HRMs track your very own heart rate, and most allow you to enter your stats, so that the calories burned output is directly relevant to you. A HRM monitor will be more accurate…

This is the part I am going to take issue with. Learn how science works before you blaspheme its name.
