Jealous of the bourbon!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have to say, this is totally true! Had a personal training session last night and she had me do some exercise where I was supposed to fold over and put my hands on the floor. Well, my hamstrings are always tight from running. We both got a good laugh when I could only reach my shins. Something to work on.

Two pieces of whole wheat toast, two tablespoons of peanut butter, and a banana.

April 25 - 4 miles 89.17 miles for the month Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 10.83 miles Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 20.83 miles

April 24 -5 miles of speed work 85.17 miles for the month Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 14.83 miles Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 24.83 miles I know I'll get the first goal.....#2 is going to be a stretch. We shall see!

Decided to try some slow miles tonight. Ouch. Should have waited until tomorrow. April 22 - 4 miles 80.17 miles for the month Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 19.83 miles Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 29.83 miles

April 21 - 7 miles 76.17 miles for the month Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 23.83 miles Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 33.83 miles

FINALLY after 4 long years of not PR'ing any race distance, it happened today. Wasn't even trying for it, just naturally happened. Old 5K PR was 26:17, new is 25:58. April 19 - 4 miles April 20 - 3.11miles 69.17 miles for the month Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 30.83 miles Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 40.83 miles

This would be a great question for your OB Doc. I'd also be asking for a referral to a registered dietitian.

UGH! This whole "keep the mileage low so you can race Saturday" sucks. Did a little speed work last night just for the heck of it. April 17 - 3 miles 62.06 miles for the month Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 37.98 miles Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 47.98 miles

That's okay. You go ahead and pass on the potatoes. We'll take them and continue to crush our goals. :smiley:

Deep frying a XL tortilla shell will add a ton of calories to anything. I knew when that picture popped up that it was almost 1K calories. I actually overestimated on most everything. Which isn't a bad thing. I'd rather overestimate the calories I'm eating and underestimate what I'm burning.

Fairly certain I'm "real". Salmon takes less than 15 minutes to prepare. Paired with a frozen steamer bag veggies and/or a potato, I have a meal in less than 30 minutes. It doesn't take me more than 15 minutes in the morning to prepare my lunch. Often times, it's a huge salad with other goodies. Otherwise, I've been known…

It will help hydrate her. Since she's getting over an illness, I'd give her whatever she'll drink.

April 16 - 3 miles 59.06 miles for the month Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 40.98 miles Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 50.98 miles Have a 5K on Saturday that I'm running for time, so keeping the mileage a bit lower this week. Still planning on busting out at least 10 miles on Sunday.

We recently bought a half hog from a local farmer. So, I'll be pulling out ham for that and making all the sides to go along with it.

Yup

Yes! Beer and cheese and brats.

I'm from Wisconsin. Cheese is life.

Nope - tried it for 2 weeks and quit. The group leader told me *not* to eat back any exercise points. Despite training for a half marathon (25+ miles of running a week plus strength training and whatever else). I couldn't sleep because of the very low calories I was on (I figured I was eating less than 1000 a day with the…

Eggs, bacon, and toast are a general go-to for me. I may throw in a Greek yogurt for a little extra protein. "Healthy" is subjective. A green smoothie, oatmeal, or cereal will leave me wanting more and I'll end up ravenous within an hour.

April 14 - 8 miles 56.02 miles for the month Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 43.98 miles Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 53.98 miles

April 13 - 9.06 miles 48.02 miles for the month Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 51.98 miles Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 61.98 miles

Jack and Diet. Bourbon on the rocks. And...well, that's about it.

One that is WAY more that $60!!!

I'll also echo the recommendation for a running store to get fitted. The great thing about the good running stores is that they will have a liberal return policy. I've been fitted before, take the shoes home, go out for a few runs and realize they aren't for me. The store happily takes them back for credit and helps me…

Aliens. In all actuality, your high tech scale isn't as reliable and accurate as you claim. Also, the scale can fluctuate several pounds on a day to day basis.

April 11 - 5 miles 38.96 miles for the month Miles until goal #1 - 61.04 miles Miles until goal #2 - 71.04 miles
