Figured this was the most appropriate place to vent about this: Target is crazy. High impact bra, my *kitten*. ;)

LOL !! I would say we've made an impressive showing, though. 2.5K replies. Wowsers. We're chatty.

Short interval run - appropriately drenched with sweat - and lifted enough to say that I lifted today - actually, I comfortably did 25-pound plates on the bench press bar today and finished all three sets. Happeeee. Have a beautiful day, running friends!

Thanks! :)

Cool - I mean is it *safe* for a single female, lol ... you guys don't need to worry about stuff like that. :)

@ROBOTFOOD are any of those safer than others for a single female?

Oooh cool!!!!! - I want to be in the crazy runners group. I believe I have inadvertently been challenged. B)

"That was easy." This is a great group!

Does anybody in Las Vegas want a running partner next week?

Hi y'all! I'm going to stick with 100 miles again this month! Four today ...

:D

Best possible scenario: I went running with a friend who is just getting back into it and does not believe she can do what I know she can do. She doesn't respond well to my typical GO GO GO coaching style, so ... Me: I thought maybe we could try the four mile woods loop and we can walk the second two miles together.…

Glad I ran twice yesterday - totally slept through my alarm this morning. Still on track to meet my goal.

@kristinegift ... and still $50+ !!!

in re: pockets - I literally got back in my car before my long run yesterday so I could more carefully inspect the darn capri tights I was wearing - what do you mean there are no pockets? There must be a pocket somewhere <practically undressing in search of a pocket>. Nope. Carried my key fob for ten miles.

intervals today - less than ten miles til goal this month and one week from tomorrow: VEGAS! :)

lol - just read your random thoughts - don't know how I've missed them before. Five bananas? :)

Happy Easter, peeps. easy run!

My understanding (not really but I do believe it) is that you can't build muscle in a deficit. However, I find that when I begin running and lifting after laying off for a while - or when I work a new lift or significantly increase my weightlifting, I most definitely notice changes in my body - muscles harder, more…

Two things about tights: (1) I used to be old-prude-lady against running tights without shorts over them ... until I tried them. Now I couldn't care less if someone out there thinks I'm showing too much - they are awesome! No chafe, no bother ... that said, (2) We saw a grown man (not that his age would have mattered)…

and thank you @Elise4270 and @WhatMeRunning for your encouragement! I am trying to ignore the scale because of course it's the advice I readily give to others. Just harder in practice, lol. Nine months ... okay, then I can do this. Thank you.

I did it! Ten miles outside! :smiley: Ran over to Jamestowne Island, water all around, breezy and beautiful, Captain Jack on the ipod ... so lucky.

I eat hard-boiled eggs almost every day - I take two to work and have one with the yolk and one without. Three yolks a week as mentioned in the article above seems reasonable to me. I love the whites.

Yes! You are not your enemy, so be nicer to yourself ... and this is not a race, so find a way to enjoy the process.

I don't think there a one-size-fits-all formula. I weigh 160 pounds at age 44. Most people will guess I weigh around 135-140. I have come to separate myself from the target weight ranges and obsession with the scale. I am a runner and a weightlifter who could stand to tighten up a bit. That's enough identity for me.

I'm beginning to think my current weight is a new standard for me. I had hoped to get the pounds off my knees but can't seem to pull it down like I have in the past. I am much bigger from weights - and now in my 40s. Maybe I need to adjust my go-to weight. I'm not obsessing - just mildly annoyed at aging. I inadvertently…

Ah sweet Saturday! Glorious chance to sleep in - Nnnnnope. I have a cat. ;)

Oh and the goals are self-chosen and self-directed, so we have members at all levels. :)

It's a month-long challenge. Scroll to the beginning and read his intro :).
