I did W7D1 today. I was really nervous about getting to this point, but it wasn't terrible. My pace is not great, but I'm getting through it. I did stop for a bit to snap a picture. https://www.instagram.com/p/BchsMlIHiAK/ I've been running on an easy-moderate hiking trail that is mostly uphill during the first half of the…

I've actually never heard anyone refer to my gym as a "box," including the owners and trainers.

I did week 5, day 3 today. I was pretty nervous about this one. I slowed my pace too much, I think, but I did complete and ran (slowly) the whole time.

I'm interested in trail running and long distance running. I figured this was a good place to start. I just finished week 5 with the active.com app. I am training on a trail that has a somewhat steep (to me) climb for the first half, but then I get to turn around and go back down for the last half. I repeated the first two…

Well, I did it. I pulled back on my pace a lot because I was worried about not finishing, so my run was really slow. Now that I know I can do it, I'll go a little harder next week.

Congrats. I have it coming up tomorrow and I don't know if I can do it. The 8 minute runs were pretty challenging.

Audible has some original programming included with the subscription and some of its really good. I highly recommend Jon Ronson's The Butterfly Effect.

I listen to either audiobooks or podcasts. I also just finished Serial season 1.

I started CrossFit at the beginning of September. It's costing me $120/mo and I'm still doing it, going three days a week, if that's any indication. I'm in a lower level class, but it's still pretty intense. My coach is great, which makes a difference. I like the team atmosphere and the fact I have a coach there to watch…

They're all older. Maybe they are retired and have all day to row...

I have a vivoactive he that tracks swims. I learned the hard way that you must not use the buttons on a tracker during a swim.

There is a boxing gym here that has a "chickboxing" class for just women. Maybe there is something similar near you.

Congrats!!

I have a feeling "Nik Rosenbladt" is not being fully honest with his logging. Lol. https://log.concept2.com/challenges/holiday/2018/honorboard/200

Since I'm fat, I can't wear most of the brands. I like the Lane Bryant leggings with just plain t shirts. I have been looking at a place called Rainbeau Curves that specializes in plus size activewear, but haven't bought anything yet. I bought a top from Juno Active that ended up being comically short (like, if I raise my…

The challenge page in my log actually says something different. It says .02 per km for the first 50k and .04 per km for every km after that. Am I mathing right? Does that work out to $7 for 200k?

I've been trying Ingress off and on. It's what Pokemon Go was based off of. You run around finding portals that you capture.

Yes, although I didn't connect it to the running until I read this. I started c25k about a month ago. I noticed blood after my runs, but thought maybe it was from chaffing (even though I didn't have pain). Then I started my period at an odd time and have bled for longer and more consistently than normal. What I mean by…

I might do this. It would be a great way to help Puerto Rico. I've never really rowed long distances, though. We usually just do rowing sprints at the gym. I do have a rowing machine at home, though.

Swimming and rowing.

I started two months ago on my birthday. It's been great, so far. In the beginning I would always look at the workout and say "I can't possibly do that," but I'd do it anyway. Now I look and know I can do it, which is a good feeling. I've gotten stronger much faster than I expected.

I tried Zombies, Run but I couldn't understand what they were saying half the time.

I feel that walking/hiking gives me the best burn, because I can sustain it for longer periods of time. I do CrossFit three days a week, which includes a warm up, lift portion, and workout. The workout is usually around 15 minutes and the whole thing takes about an hour. That usually only burns around 300 - 400 calories,…

Thanks. I do CrossFit (with a coach) three days a week and also walk or hike ~3 miles a day a few days a week when I feel like I have extra energy. I'm using the Active.com app for C25K and only do it the three days a week.

I fight water weight a lot due to hormonal issues. I weigh myself every day and use a weight trending app to keep things in perspective.

I felt the same way when I first started going to the gym, but most people are just doing their thing. Wear whatever is comfortable. I wear leggings and a regular tee shirt most of the time.

My new favorite is Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls in Sausage and Gravy. $1.75, 300 calories. It's delicious. I like most Lean Cuisine. I love the butternut squash ravioli. I add some steamed edamame to up the protein. Marie Calendar had some really good options, but I don't have them often due to the sodium content. Amy's…

It actually seems to confirm it. Only slightly higher risk at higher worked with healthy markers, but significantly higher risk at low weight with unhealthy markers.

Team Lance.

I once wore MC Hammer pants to a New Kids concert.
