I drink a ton of teach each day across the board black, roobios, herbal...different flavors.

Anything over 12 miles I'll take an ice bath, then eat eat eat then take a nap. If an ice bath isn't possible, I'll elevate my legs at > 45 degrees for the same amount of time as I would do the ice bath.

Don't have an advice except to say have fun!!

How about doing a circuit of cardio machines? Maybe start with 5-10 min on the bike, a mile on the treadmill, then hit up the elliptical? You have to keep it fresh and fun, otherwise you won't stick with it. That being said, I would take running outdoors over the treadmill whenever possible (though I have done very long…

Yeah, I believe RunKeeper will do this as well (as the previous person stated). Love the app.

I use RunKeepr, and love that it now syncs with MyFitnessPal.

Setting out to have my mile time back down below 6 minutes by end of summer...and dare I say it...a sub 1:40 half in October?

If its your first trail race, I would definitely just use it as a training run...but make sure you have fun!

I have done it. I have made the switch to becoming a morning runner (see my blog post about it at http://therunnerdad.com/the-morning-run). In order to have time to spend with my family after work at night, I needed to make the switch. It's dark, it's cold, but so far it's pretty awesome.

Wow! Great job!

The fact is, men typically lose weight a lot faster than women. But as the previous poster said, don't compare weight loss to others. Just focus on your own progress.

Losing that much weight that fast would not be healthy. However, what I would suggest is focusing less on the weight loss and more on getting toned. Remember, muscle weighs more than fat, so as you workout and turn fat into muscle, your weight loss will be slow but you'll become more and more toned. I would focus on…

As a long time runner who had trouble with shin splints in the past, I feel your pain. There are a few things you can do to help. 1) Ice your shins before and after the workout. This will help reduce inflammation and pain. 2) Stretch the surrounding muscles (calves, quads) 3) Strengthen the surrounding muscles (calves,…

Don't even sweat it. You need a cheat day every once in a while to help stay on track. You can't deny yourself all the time. And so what that it was so many calories. Like others have said, if you're back to your normal intake the next day, within a few days those calories won't even matter.

Down 23lbs! 2 to go to reach my ultimate goal of 25lbs lost! Still need a lot of work on my abs and back muscles, but every day is a new day!

Happy to report I'm down 18lbs, my mile time is at 6:36, I'm starting to see a small bit of definition in my abs, but I'm still working on my back and core.

Bump! Where's my Twitter peoples?

Awesome job!
