not logging will be lack of willpower. I don't want to go downhill back to bad habits.

get skinny in the kitchen get big at the gym ;)

Nice. I'll try it!

what can fix your question is get a HRM.

Merrill down and dirty Tough mudder Spartan Beast. Those are my regular races. :) signed up for the Spartan Beast and 7sar (it's new!!!). Will not be able to do Tough Mudder this summer and completely bummed about it.

you didn't. They just became gym wimps.

It's not your clothes that are going to get your ability to surpass your anaerobic threshold or build up your V02 max. It is training. If you're working on furthering distance add more progressive long runs. If you're looking for a faster speed do fartlek training and intervals.

Looking for motivators to keep me on track as well. :)

Where it says serving size (4oz) and calories per serving: 280 and servings per container: 4 serving size- say you eat 4 oz of whatever was in that container, then you would have eaten 280 calories if you eat the whole container than you would have eaten 1,120 calories (4*280).

NOR CAL. Add me if you're into 5k, 10k, halfs, marathons, etc. :)

I now run in the dark, alone, not carrying any weaponry except my wits and awareness of my surroundings. I sometimes think about what would happen if there was a creeper, but I feel really confident in my ability to defend myself to not really carry any "concealed" weapons. I also run by highways (not in the middle of…

I think what would work best for you is to experiment until you find something you can STICK WITH FOR LIFE. Try different workouts: Insanity, Jillian, Crossfit, Running, Gym and Lifting, Gym and programs they run. The point is to find something that you can burn some calories (this is by keeping an moderate-intense level,…

It really isn't. you're just going to add on to calorie burning if you start again or not. The main goal is just give it your best intensity each time. Be able to push yourself no matter what. If you continue on without restarting, go for more intensity so that you feel it is a great work out versus a bad workout. if you…

Also if you are going to lift heavy then you probably would want a spotter to assist you with form and.. well to spot. I just started strength training and I could never do it without a buddy. Also, if you can, join a strength training group (crossfit?)

for a dumb down answer: High reps for a long duration= cardio and endurance. Which is how I think of Insanity anything. Love it anyway. You will develop lean muscle and you're working compound muscles when you're doing those push-ups (if you are doing correct form) Lifting HEAVY (some previous user said squats and…

Lake Tahoe, Mt. Tallac. :) You can XC Ski it in the winter. Run/Hike it in the Summer.

nice view. ^my favorite views

our view? venture for yourself. Take some pictures. Show us your view.

represent!

I am no Physical Trainer/Therapist, but the worse you can do is exacerbate a torn muscle or tendon. When either is torn the whole "lost" time and set-backs is just super annoying. So whatever you do prevent. prevent. prevent. Do some light dynamic stretching before and static stretching after (for prevention of further…

This guy pretty much gave all the answers that I would say and then some. Also, I reaaaaallly love this work-out. Kind of like Calf-raises but the opposite-- they're toe taps! Watch this video and follow the exercises. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66r_kWvgwUo#t=1m18s You can also do this exercise standing. Also, Ice.…

yeah, edm music. Go to Pandora and put in SHM and Tiesto and stuff like that. Add some pop music as well like the cataracs and old school 90s pump up music like --- space jam's theme. You'll be going at it.

Soft kitty, Warm kitty, Little ball of fur. Happy kitty, Sleepy kitty, Purr, purr, purr.

I have just been sunbathing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM9iDdkKZ7M but the oxygen fast seems way more healthy and my eyes hurt :(

gain some roundness with some muscle. ;)

I would get it checked with whomever you are comfortable seeing on your knee click. Things that happen that generally do not happen prior is usually not a great sign. I've had knee clicks before, achilles clicks, because of high impact stress on joints and tendons that were not accustomed to that high-impact and rate of…

The more people there are the more motivation. :)

This would be a great place to start. This is why programs like Insanity start out on Day 1 with a Fit Test. I'm sure P90x has a start out test. When you go into physical therapy for a 'check-up' visit they will have you go through certain tests. Running is nooo different. This is why in High School everyone had those…
