  • I am having a smiliar problem - I don't care as much about my food log making it to Garmin Connect but I can't get my step count in Garmin Connect to show as exercise calories in MFP.
  • We have a 2yr old lab/greyhoundish mix and she's the best running/walking partner ever. We walk every morning after walking my son to school and we've got a running belt so I can clip her leash in. She's done several races with me - everything from a 5K up to a half marathon. When I would take a walking break during the…
  • I usually slice up any meat leftover from last night's dinner, heat it, top it with cheese and a dressing of some sort. Add lettuce/spinach if I have it.
  • That looks amazing. We love reubens. I'll have to give this a try!
  • Have you been fitted for proper shoes at a running store? Wearing the wrong shoes can contribute to a new injury or exacerbate an old one. If the pain is similar to what you were experiencing when you were diagnosed with the injury, you should see the Dr again.
  • Agreed. Stick with the training plan as you're running it now. You could also try using run/walk intervals - maybe 3-1 or 5-2.
  • There are 2 ways to improve your 5K time, and both help. Run further and run faster. Further - push your distance until you can comfortably run 4 or even 5 miles. 3 will seem easier. Faster - Re-do C25K focusing on speed rather than just completing the time. Esp the first few weeks, you can almost run them like sprint…
  • Kerrygold butter. I love the way it tastes.
  • I am on an 11 day streak of getting over 10,000 steps on my FitBit.
  • C25K is wonderful. Depending on what kind of phone you have, you can even download apps to time the segments for you. 2yrs ago, I used it to get back into running and eventually trained and ran a couple of half marathons.

  • I have noticed that if I go for a run or a walk, then Fitbit will automatically transport that over into MFP as "calorie adjustment". I don't bother logging it since it's already tracked. If this link works, that Fitbit adjustment showed up automatically when I synced -…
  • I am in both camps - YES, you can totally do a 10k, but you might WANT to do a small, local 5k first, just to get a sense of race day. Personal preference.
  • No, I don't. Chances are, if I'm going for a run long enough to necessitate fuel along the way, I'm not going to eat back ALL of those calories anyway.
  • Aha. This must be why my run got double logged today. Once from MFP and once from Garmin Connect...
  • I have found that the run where I had the most energy and stamina was a 6mi run after I'd been eating Paleo for 2wks. In retrospect, it probably wasn't the Paleo itself, just overall nutritious breakfast - mix of protein and veggies at every meal. Including breakfast, which I usually skip! Before a 10K race, I usually have…
  • There is nothing wrong with taking walking breaks during running. I have done countless 5Ks, a couple 10 Milers and a half marathon, with another 10 miler and half marathon over the next month. I take walk breaks. I find that when I run, I have a pace I am comfortable running...only I can't sustain it for a ten mile run.…
  • I don't know about a mix from Sam's but I've been making them from scratch for years. Maybe these instructions will help - http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Recipes/top-secret-restaurant-recipes-red-lobsters-cheddar-biscuits/story?id=2788706
