if you have a mandolin, make ratatouille! whenever I make it I just google "Disney's ratatouille" lol and that recipe works for me though I find that the number of vegetables they tell you to use fits into a pan that is twice the size of the one they suggest. also, anything in the veggie curry family--you can control the…

this thread is downright painful

highly recommend the veganomicon cookbook by isa chandra moskowitz. (I'm not vegan but my boyfriend is.) some of those recipes are the best thing I've ever eaten, vegan or not!

Just finished my first 10K (the Cohasset 10K in Cohasset, MA)--the first half was possibly the worst three miles I've ever run in my life but the second half was much better. I just went out too fast (partially because I was trying to get away from some super-annoying people running next to me and partially because I'm an…

I started running over by the BC campus because I assumed (correctly) that they'd have their sidewalks super-clean to avoid lawsuits. Can't wait until the ice melts on the reservoir! If you ever see me--well I'm pretty hard to miss, I'm a really slow runner with bright pink hair.

Only signed up for 2 so far... June: Heartbreak Hill Half Marathon in Boston October: Superhero 5K in Cambridge Considering running a 10K in April (the Cohasset Road Race, if anyone has done that...?) but haven't committed/paid for it yet. It'd land about right in the Half Marathon training. Also, if I meet my TBD goal…

You can do specific exercises to strengthen your knee and your leg; the stronger your glutes are the less pressure running puts on your knee. Stuff like leg lifts and squats. If that doesn't help, it would definitely be good to go to a doctor and diagnose the exact problem. I don't lift, but I'm lazy and not a good…

*usual caveats, I am not a doctor, etc Maybe try strengthening the muscles that work with your knee--I had knee surgery a couple of months ago and now my PT and I are doing exercises that strengthen my quads and... glutes? side glutes? basically all the muscles in my thigh. (see above about not a doctor) Takes pressure off…

beans + rice sautee some veggies and throw them on top Not a vegetarian but I date one, and that's our go-to cheap meal.

Addicted to the current Hawkeye run. Kate and Clint are bamfs. I honestly can't believe this comic is this good. This week I also got Mara #2 and Young Avengers and... some other stuff, but I don't remember which of it came out this week, I've missed picking up my subs for a few weeks, oops.
-
Yeah, I'd spring for a cab, or a closer hotel. The T and Commuter Rail are... quirky, I'd say, about when they choose to run on schedule, and you don't want to risk missing the shuttle!
-
I track it all, even the bad days. BUT, you can plan for the bad days--if you know you're going to go out and drink a few beers on Fridays, factor that in and maybe have a lighter lunch or something. Eat light on Saturday if you know you're going to go all out on Sunday. I do this mostly with my budget, actually, I know…

I know last night in NYC there were official announcements that people could bring their pets to shelters and on public transit and in cabs to get to the shelters. Thanks for the tips! I do think the scariest thing about something like this is that it's not something New Englanders generally know how to deal with. I'm…

Right?? And people are going nuts. I was at Target this morning and there are no flashlights or D batteries to be had. Schools are shut in Boston tomorrow, all non-essential government officials are staying home, and my office just announced it'll be closed. Fun times.

It's YOUR body. Don't let someone else (especially someone new!) change what you want to do with your body. Also, anyone who doesn't like you for who you are, regardless of your size, isn't worth it no matter how nice he is.

OR I will dislocate my kneecap again and go back to square one. what a horrible horrible week this has turned out to be.

I was in the middle of the last thread when it got deleted. My life is over.

Not only am I not into it, it's the sort of show I am apparently "supposed" to like, so people at work or whatever who know I'm geeky are like, "oh you must watch Big Bang theory, right? isn't it great??" and I'm like "....no."
-
reporting in! total sci-fi/fantasy geek--I have a Firely tattoo, throw Star Wars parties, read comics, etc. I love me some B5, some Star Trek, and crazy old British spy shows like the Avengers and Man from UNCLE. (I still want to be Emma Peel when I grow up.) My favorite comics hero is the Flash, and I'm going to run the…

I definitely come across as rude sometimes because I forget that people don't know me and don't know my sense of humor and can't read my tone. I'm also very expressive with my face and hands when I communicate (Italian bloodline), which obviously doesn't come through the internet. Or maybe I am just one of the bad people…

I always find it interesting what guys do to show women they aren't scary--I had a long convo with the boyfriend once about what he was supposed to do when approaching a woman on a dark street in his hoodie. He's over six foot tall and burly and I don't find him scary but I could see why it would happen. And once a guy was…

I'm a slow runner so this happens to me ALL. THE. TIME. But like someone said, bikes are the worst. Especially because, as I am running on the sidewalk, they are supposed to be in the street. dafuq.

Weird that there have been two quakes in the like 4 years I've lived here, then. I wonder what's up. and yikes, that October storm sounds worse than some of the ones we had when I lived in Minnesota. (I've moved around a lot...) Considering it snowed, like, twice last year we're probably due for something crazy this year,…
-
Seriously, tho, it seems like there have been a couple quakes since I moved out here--are people just surprised every year (like how people get surprised every year when it starts snowing again) or are they actually becoming more frequent out here? Like I said, not from these parts.

Way to read way too much into my post and be an *kitten* about it. Also I'm from Northern California and am not responsible for anything anyone south of Santa Cruz does haha.
-
ferreals haha. I'm a California girl originally and my "first" earthquake was the Loma Prieta so basically I am unimpressed by what causes a tizzy in New England.

Superhero 5K in Cambridge MA in a week and a half! I'm pretty sure I'm going to dress up as Flashdance. Like, the Flash, but also the 80s. It's going to be awesome. EDIT: also upcoming but not as soon is the Disney Princess Half in February. Also thinking about the Hangover 10K on January 1st, but man that sounds cold.
-
Note that at most of the lesser-cost restaurants, you can switch out the fries and get apple slices instead. Do EVERYTHING. I love Disneyworld. :)

I've always started with the doctor, for a couple of reasons: -at least with my health insurance you need an ortho to write a prescription for the PT -the PT will probably ask if you've had xrays/MRIs/etc done---not that you necessarily need to, but for my latest round of PT I was able to say, "no MRIs or Xrays, the ortho…

Sounds like we have a lot in common! I'm 26 and getting back into fitness after being a kind of geeky jock in college.
