I run them a lot without people there at the end. It's still a super fun environment... go eat some snacks, chat with other runners, and bask in the glory!

I'm from Wyoming! Not quite the same :)

Apples, bananas, cherry tomatoes, snap peas, mini sweet peppers, string cheese, Laughing Cow cheese wedges, almonds, jerky.

woohoooooo thanks for starting one! I love these things. 10/1: 1.0 (4.5 mi trail run) Total: 1.0

amazing work and congrats on the marathon PR!!!!!

Amazing progress and I"m so glad you could make this lifelong dream come true!! Keep it up!!

It's just nerves... you'll be fine! When you start to freak out, just imagine yourself running along happily in a great big positive energy environment, and then fast forwarding a couple hours to you sprinting over the finish line smiling like a badass. That kind of positive visualization really helps (personal experience…

BADASS.

You can do it! One foot at a time, slow and steady. Also, I hope you know that you deserve to be respected and cherished and happy. If your husband isn't bending himself over backwards 24/7 to make it up to you for cheating, and you don't feel that way each and every day, you and your girls are better off without him!! PS…

Since we're sharing! Here are a couple pics from earlier this fall at my favorite trails. The aspens were just insane this year!

Slow down and just keep doing it. Take rest breaks when you need to, and after a while you won't need to as much. But most importantly, JUST KEEP DOING IT! :D

Same here!!!!! Trail running is my absolute favorite. And I go out alone all the time as a fairly petite female, often in areas without cell service, and I don't ever feel unsafe. Maybe that's naive but I live in a really safe part of the country. Plus I bet I could outrun half of the would-be attackers out there :p

I drink a cup of coffee 45 min before I leave the office and go directly for my run or bike ride or to the gym. Or I go out on my lunch break. If I get home at night and get settled in, no way am I leaving again to work out.

Yep, pretty much. 95% of it is just about being aware of calories in, calories out, and sticking to it. Of course your goals and logging have to be accurate as well.

Don't buy and bring home anything you don't really want to eat. If you don't keep junk in your house, you won't eat it and you probably won't be bothered to go out to acquire junk. Try to get in some conscious movement (20+ minutes) most days.

You look amazing, congrats! And I"m sure you feel amazing too. Thanks for the kick in the pants. I have done a few days of NRfL and then fell off the wagon (I kind of hate getting sore and not being able to run for a few days... but probably worth it.)

Mine were to get a half marathon PR... I beat my previous time of 2:02:33 by a solid five minutes in September. 1:57:42. All downhill course so that didn't hurt! I also want to do a sub 25 minute 5k - hopefully at the one I'm running Nov 22.

For what it's worth, I just did a 10 mi trail race with a similar very large hill (~700 feet) about 1/2 way through. I wouldn't bother trying to conserve energy for the hill... it's steep enough that you'll probably have to walk up it regardless, and it's close enough to the end that I think you could just push through any…

I'll add you! Anyone is welcome to add me as well - I like seeing a lot of running on my newsfeed :) Re: your question on macros, I have to admit I don't pay much attention to it. I just try to eat a lot of veggies and lean protein, and keep my processed carbs relatively low...

I love exercising outside too... I live in Wyoming so there's not much else to do besides enjoy the great outdoors! Favorites are trail running and mountain biking. When winter comes (which is LONG here at 7200 feet), I switch to x-c and telemarking skiing, and I also try to keep running when the weather is decent and/or…

Hey there! I'm a runner and do yoga intermittently, and I'm 32 too. Wanna be friends? :smile: And yes it is super expected to get really sore leg muscles the first few times you go running. When I go through phases where I stop running for a while, I'm always sore when I start back up. Try to get back out in another day or…

Thanks for posting! I started the program but haven't been doing it as consistently as I should (I kinda hate getting really sore because it curtails my biking and running...) This is motivating me to get back on it 2x a week.
