I'm so glad you are enjoying your new happy, healthy life!

6/1 3.5 miles tm 6/3 3.43 miles tm 6/5 3.28 miles tm 6/8 3.33 miles Color Run.

6/1 3.5 miles tm 6/3 3.43 miles tm 6/5 3.28 miles tm My legs aren't ready for the biking and running miles yet.

I just started a 5k team and the team name is "Will run for pumpkin beer!". Eating more isn't the main reason I exercise but I do enjoy those extra calories.

6/1 3.5 miles tm 6/3 3.43 miles tm Bad run.

Jesse you are a wonder! Thank you for posting and for the inspiration!

Agree. I had a 2 week vacation complete with larger meals and a stomach bug. The week prior to vacation I had hurt my leg so no exercise. The week after I had a horrible cold so no working out. I was worried about a big gain with a month off but turns out I not only lost weight I lost 1 pound more than my goals. I've been…

I cheated. After W5 D2 (which was longer than I had ever run before in my life), I ran 10, walked 5 and ran 10. It was hella hard. Then I ran 3 and it felt so good that I accidently ran 26 minutes before I checked the time. I discovered week 6 that I hate intervals but a chunk of time is great. W5 D3 was more of a mental…

May was a disaster for me but May is over! June's goal is 40 miles running and 60 miles on the bike. My own version of a century! Happy Running Everyone!

2.85 miles for a total of 19.4/ 30 miles. Sigh. I'm having a hard time with allergies even indoors.

If you are used to running every other day without any adverse side effects then I would do a normal or slightly slower run on Thursday. Congratulations on completing C25K and have fun Saturday!

2.66 miles 16.55 miles /30 miles

The running shoes I use now felt nice and comfy from my first run with them. Maybe I'm an anomaly. Did you get fitted at a proper running store? Perhaps you need some time to get used to new shoes but I doubt they should be causing you that much pain.

3.43 miles today 13.89/30 miles

Yesterday's run was 3.65 miles. 10.46/30

3.42 miles today. 6.81/30

First run of May and it felt good! 3.39 miles of 30. (My ticker is on vacation this month)

If you work out 3 times I would have 3 outfits or possibly 4. I workout 6 days and have at least that many tops and bottoms but I only have 5 sports bras and it's really bugging me. Edited to add: I have a host of other non fave items that have to do with weather conditions or specialty workouts like yoga or undies with…

My Munich memories consist of giant delicious steins of beer in shady beer gardens. Ahhhhh Munich . . .

I have mixed feelings about my yurbuds. I originally bought the over ear hook kind but my ears are so small the hook part just floats over my ear and hooks onto nothing even after adjusting them a bunch. I took the hooks off and they stay in most of the time. After cleaning the bud covers they popped off somewhere and were…

Totally fantastic!! Love this!

You are not being sensitive by being hurt by those comments. I certainly would be upset. I know that you listed a number of qualifications that should make family members knowledgeable about health and fitness BUT we don't see family the same way as we see strangers. Since you are in a normal BMI range just stay there.…

I had a conservative goal of 30 miles last month because I was going to be out of town for half the month and I'm still running on a treadmill. The week before my trip I wrenched my left leg and I haven't run in 2.5 weeks. I'm anxious to start again and hope I haven't blown my tiny number of base miles. I'm going to be…

My completely non expert opinion thinks you have runner's knee. Caused by weak quads/ a tight IT band. I would try foam rolling all over but especially the IT band and some squats/ cycling to build up your quads. New shoes always help but make sure you go to a running store where they will watch you run and make…

Fantastic! You're inspiring a fellow shorty!

Go to these other gyms one at a time and ask for a trial membership. Most gyms will give you a week or half a week to check them out or for a small fee. One gym may be a total standout. Personally I would look for a gym closer to home because your job may change. That happened to me and my gym was no longer convenient at…
