Bumping. You know I'm here for you Kimbie!! I better be the friend you call when you need to identify and deal with the emotions instead of binge eating in response!!! :flowerforyou: You can do this!! You've worked too hard for too long! You know my advice: get a race on calendar! Even if its one you plan on run/walking.…

I had a guy friend once refer to this very positively as "factory air." As in, if a woman has this, she comes with factory air, like a car comes with factory upgrades - or I assumed that's what he meant! Ever since, I have wondered if I have achieved it! Congrats! I have to agree that it is a NSV and I can see why guys…

Haha! This reminded me of another: - When running in the heat of summer, I rejoice at the sight of sprinklers.

So many of these made me smile and I so agree with: - The smell of barbeque grills and lilac bushes....awesome. - Cigarette smoke from cars driving by.....awful. - Starting in the rain is so hard, but finishing in the rain is amazing. <---YES - Drivers are crazy and always assume NOONE is paying attention..... To add a few…

Yes - 8 to 10 hours of studying a day is the general rule and should be followed. I think getting some exercise will be critical for your mental well being to put in those long hours of studying, so do it as much as you can, whenever it makes most sense for you. However, I think putting pressure on yourself to lose 5 lbs…

I think I'd like to try this approach. Bumping because I really, really suck at math and all the numbers makes my eyes go crossed - will need to refer back. A lot. :o)

This. I would just add that it also depends on your goals. Are you a fitness instructor or does your livelihood depend on your physique? Are you training for a fitness competition or any event in which you need to be in TOP form by a certain deadline? Are you happy with your current fitness level or weight loss progress?…

I say take it! The folks might think its weird, but I don't think anyone on MFP would! Definitely don't try to use any other scale.

Bumping because I'll never remember all these and want to try them all!

No prob! I was typing my reply in bed last night and obviously too exhausted to be thinking and writing clearly. Sorry my reply was so choppy and hard to read! Which marathon are you doing in November?

I finished my second full marathon in October. IMHO, I would do the 22 miler. After my first marathon (Oct. 2010), where I also endured cramping/pain in the last 4 miles. I trained with a group and consequently trained at a faster pace than I probably would have had I not run with the group. Lets just say the whole time…

Bumping to learn more.

Bumping for when I get confused/lost and need a refresher.

This seems to be where I'm at as well. I've run a spring 13.1 and a fall 26.2 the last two years, which amounts to two years straight of running as my only exercise. Found myself with no upper body strength, no muscle, and no weight loss. Started paying attention to calories and doing P90X with only a little running here…

Bump for future reference. Thanks!

Driving my daughter to school, I thought of a few more things that might be helpful to share. So, continuing from my previous post: 6) Don't waste money on Goretex/waterproof shoes. I got this advice from a SALES GUY at my local running store thinking about buying some. He said that Goretex shoes are great for keeping…

I ran outside all thru last winter and I live in the Chicago area. Lots of great advice on here; layering, yax trax, reflective gear, wicking fabrics, etc. What I learned after one season of running outdoors thru the winter: 1) You get used to the cold. You will feel cold for the first mile or so, but after that you are…

Thanks for the tip! :o)

I'm trying to join, so this is a test to see if I did it right! New to MFP forums...
