I’m a newbie to Keto as well. Welcome, Ashley!

Oh boy, do I need this! I get this HUGE carb craving every night. My carb of choice is cereal - any kind and in massive quantities. :embarassed: So, I think I'll make my cut-off time 7:30PM. So...how are you guys beating your cravings? What's your trick of choice?

Jenny, You are truly an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your story. It's sounds so amazing. I love that you soaked up and appreciated every single moment. And to have such an awesome race time-wise to boot! Wow! What an accomplishment! You certainly rock!:drinker:

Sounds scary! :laugh: I love it! Thanks for the tip about going through Jess!

Did a little over 8 miles today. Ugh. Another hot one here in PA! Happy running everyone!

Becky... Let me know what you think of Insanity. It looks great, and I'm thinking about it, but I'd like to hear what other people think before I committ. :happy:

Shuntae - This is great! You did it and if you average your times for each of those four miles at tempo, you'll find that you were running well under the 12:10 pace recommended by RW. That's awesome! Happy belated birthday to you! Enjoy your dinner tonight! :flowerforyou:

Yeah! What Sherry said! :bigsmile: Go for it!

I knew you would!!! Don't you love the way you feel once the agony is over?? :tongue:

You'll do fine!! I'm sending you all the fast running, no puking vibes you need to get you through. I'm telling you, I dread tempo runs just as much as you. I'll take a good speed workout over a tempo run anyday. At least you get some recovery time with the speed work. Let us know how it goes. You said yourself you are…

YIKES! Good choice on heading back to the hotel parking lot! I love running in new places and on vacation. I'm sure Colorado Springs provided you with lots of good scenery as you ran.

Ick! Hope you'[re feeling better soon. I had a sinus thing going on a few days ago. It stinks!

Ugh. Two words...TEMPO RUN...ARGHHHHH:sad: :sad: :sad: They are NOT fun in general...then add heat and humidity t'boot and it makes a grown woman want to cry! Needless to say, I made it through in the time recommended by RW, and I feel great now, but I wanted to die while running! :sick: Here's the breakdown: Goal - Tempo…

Thanks for the tip on drying. The rain was weird. It downpoured at the lake (PVP) big time. I was so worried, because I left my house with every window open. But, when I got home, everything was bone dry in my neighborhood. I guess the storm was pretty isolated. Good for my house! :happy: Did it ever come your way?

Just got done with my 9 for the day. I timed it perfectly -- about half way through the skies opened up and it downpoured. It was such a relief from this humidity. I was completely drenched, including my new running shows (it's only my 4 time running in them). So what to you guys do with completely soaked shoes? Air dry or…

Awesome, Sherry! :drinker: That is fantastic news! See you September 20th, then, huh?? :drinker:

Hi everyone. I've been MIA for the past few days - I've been reading but not posting. Last week I stuck to my RW training. It was a nice week - 7 miles each day. Now this week everything is kicked up a notch (or five :noway: ). I'm doing 9 miles today once the dryer repairman leaves my house! :tongue: I'm also stepping up…

Oops..almost forgot..did 7 miles with my girl in the stroller again this morning. I'm wicked pooped!

I feel for you! I have so much trouble with eating the right thing before my runs. Honestly, it is my stomach issues more than fatigue that hampers my runs, which stinks. I have found that depending on what I eat - even 3 hours before a run, can effect my stomach. I tend to stay away from dairy at all costs before a run.…

LOL! I almost forgot about your cheering bird. You crack me up! :laugh: Good idea on the PowerBar chewy things. And don't feel bad about stopping for water! I felt the same way, but let me tell you...gulping down some water really can make a difference - especially on those 15 mile runs you're working up to. I carry my…

Hi everyone. Just got back from 7 with the jog stroller. It was actually a really fuin run because I had my daughter in the stroller and my son biking along side of me. My daughter breaks into these "Go Mommy" cheers - how cannot you not want to keep running hard with that kind of cheerleading! :laugh: My thought on the…

I was checking out the Insanity informercial during one of my fits of insomnia the other night. It looked awesome. Let me know what you're thinking. I may just make the investment.

It's going pretty good - thanks for asking. I've been pretty much sticking to the Runner's World training plan. I stray somedays when I just don't have the time to squeeze in a run due to kids' activities, work, life. I'm at PVP almost every weekend and then some. I mostly always incorporate at least one loop around the…

Hi Sherry! I'm so glad you're back in action and you're taking your time to ease yourself back in. That's a smart way to go about things. Today I'm resting. I'm buying a new pair of running shoes today. Awww the excitement! Did a quick bike ride with my daughter this morning, then some swimming this afternoon. Have a great…

Just got done with a 14 mile long run. It was a great run. We all must be crazy because we are all loving on the long runs today! :tongue: Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!

Wow, Jess! Congratulations! That is an incredible accomplishment. You worked hard to get where you are. You deseved a great race! :drinker:

Welcome, Renee. You could definitely run 12 miles straight within the next year. That's a very doable goal! And this is the right place to come for inspiration. It's a wonderful group!

Yay, girl! You should be proud of all you are accomplishing. Congratulations on your 12-miler. It is such a good feeling once you're done, isn't it? I'm started much the same way as you. I remember struggling on walks while pushing my newborn baby girl in her stroller. I was 200lbs. and feeling miserable. My walking…

Checking in late - it's been a crazy busy day, but I managed some speedwork today: 1 mile warmup 4 x 1600 @7:46 with 800 jogs 1 Mile cooldown Total 8 miles I was able to do all my speed laps under 7:46, except for the last one. I did it in 7:47 :blushing: . It was killer, but to me speedwork isn't as bad as my tempo runs -…
