I do all of those! I had the zucchini boats 2 days in a row, both lunch and dinner. lol I fried up some lean ground turkey with garlic and onion and put it into a freezer baggie. Then I get out a handful to put in with the meat of the zucchini and top with low fat cheese, microwave the broil the top to make it bubbly and…

I started drinking STASH chai tea with splenda and ALPINE spiced apple cider, sugar free. Not a replacement by any stretch of the imagination, but it's making me happy. I am also looking at making flavored coffee with splenda or stevia and putting the low calorie flavored creamer in it. I hope you find something.

16 miles is my longest run. I run a lot of mid week miles so my total for the week is pretty high...55-70 miles. You don't gain any more cardiovascular fitness from a run any longer than 3 hours, so its a waste of time and takes too long to recover from. Make your week day runs longer and keep the long one the same.

I love this! To me, it's about the journey. Long may we run. :)

The ticker is not working for me today. 8/1 Fri 10 miles 8/2 Sat rest day 8/3 Sun 11 miles 8/4 Mon 8 miles 8/5 Tues 11 miles 8/6 Wed 5 miles 8/7 Thurs 11 miles 8/8 Fri 11 miles 8/9 Sat 8 miles 8/10 Sun 16 miles 8/11 Mon 6 miles 8/12 Tues 12 miles 109 miles so far for August. Goal is 250, so I have 141 miles left to go.

I ran 226 miles in July. My goal was 220. yay :) I think 250 for August will be good. Marathon is at the end of September.

Charlie! ! You are doing much better than you think! My running partner just turned 40 and her goal for her second one is a 2:10 half. You should stick to one distance and do a 5k for fun not speed. You have to develop more slow twitch fibers for your distance. Doing the fast twitch and slow twitch fibers at the same time…

I had a pepper spray but it sprayed a stream at the dog who had no idea what it was and couldn't care less. My running partner kicked it while i called the police and the stupid owner looked passively on. Then the spray decided to freeze up when I tested it and it doesn't work. I tried an air horn and blasted it at a truck…

This is my second time doing it. Trust the process. :) I took off 10 minutes and ran injury free! I doubted it too when I saw crazy long runs. And I did them too and got burnt out and injured. But if you look at your mileage you are doing the same if not more in the week. You don't need to run more than 16 or 18 for a long…

I'm in for 220. Marathon training continues... :)

I have had more than my share of the "oh, come on" moments.

So we are apple cleansing on half training too? I go with the beer too, or apple beer to be safe. I thought you had a full in Sept. Josee?

I finished May at 205 miles not the 198 that is on the spreadsheet. For some reason it didn't take. I went over goal by 5 miles. I went right back into marathon training, so I put down 185 for the month. Marathon is in September.

Just finished a marathon...Recovery time for me, so I guess I'll do...gawd...I don't know....maybe 125? Yeah, lets start with that. lol Ok. Yes, lets to that. Linda

It is totally not as hot here as where you are, but it did start to get a few hot days, and my race was really warm. I eat a lot more during the day. I raised my cals and ate back a lot of the exercise calories. I ate more nuts, dark chocolate, grape nuts cereal, yogurt, bananas and tons of whole grain bread with pb. I…

I lowered my mileage to 200 miles this month because I have a marathon on the 25th and forgot to figure in taper and recovery weeks.

I changed mine to 200 instead of 250 for the month. By the time the marathon is done on the 25th, I will have done 207 miles and probably won't want to do much running after that for a while! :)

May 1, 13 miles May 2, 7 miles

Hey, you forgot me!! I didn't get the memo...smh I'll do 250 please. ???? thanks! Linda

After meeting your gorgeous and smart girls, I have no doubt of their successes in life! Nice job to all of you!

I am Linda. I have 3 kids, Rachel is 22 and a nurse, Tyler is 20 and is in the Air Force (Guards) as a jet engine mechanic and he also is starting a custom motorcycle business, and my daughter, Molly is 13. I played tennis, ran and biked, (I used to do races up the local mountain roads on my bicycle) but started doing…

I haven't done one of these in a while... Put me down for 250 miles, please.

I bring my own chocolate and a water for my daughter in my large purse. She gets a small popcorn. Prices are outrageous. If they want to stay in business, they should leave us alone, with Netflix and redbox becoming so popular.

Me me me me! but you already know that....lol

Popcorn. I microwave a bag at home, let it.cool and put it in a zip lock baggie. Then I put frozen peas or broccoli in a baggie and heat that up at work. I eat constantly. I got down to 108 pounds just by grazing on veggies popcorn and nuts. No formal meals.
