According to my training plan I am in for 200 for August! Crap! I guess that is what I get for signing up for a 50k. ;)

How about making a non-brunch type committment for the weekend mornings? i.e a hike with a friend, an exercise class etc. 1 - burn calories 1st thing in the morning 2 - May help not drink as much the night before if you know that you are committed to doing somethign active.

For me it depends on the type of upset I am. I have found that if I am stressed or need to work through something in my head then running is a great outlet for me. In those cases it will fuel my running and I will come back refreshed and rejuvinated. However, sometimes when the "upset" is just too overwhelming I end up…

Hi all - I am way behind on posting! Spent the last 3 days in San Diego where it decided to have massive thunderstorms and insane humidity. I felt like I was in the South!

I agree with this. I personally don't take anything during training runs under 13-14 miles. I take water with nuun in it on runs longer than 10 miles usually. I do however take a honey stinger gel about 15 minutes before I do a long run. I am generally out the door between 6-6:30 (even on weekends). There is just no way I…

My new favorite are the Zoot Sports Ultra Running shorts 3". They are very soft and have a wider waist band which I like. I bought them for the marathon I did in April and had zero chaffing or riding up. I wear a sm or medium in most shorts. I found these run a bit larger and the small fits perfect.

@skippygirlsmom and @shanaber - I wish I could blame heat. However I live on the central coast of CA. "Heat" for us is 70. :P I am guessing I ate too much dairy or something yesterday.
