Woo hoo!! Great job. :smile:

I know, right? I think it's because it takes my actual past runs and adds a percentage so I get all kinds of weird goal times and distances. Like 38 minutes, 11 seconds and stuff like that.

Ok, here goes: Welcome! to @bbrandi82, @Wolfger, @mill2804, and @CrystalConsults! @bbrandi82, several of us are training for a HM around the same time - mine is in mid-November. @MNLittleFinn, sorry your race didn't go as planned and hope you feel better soon! @JimCrackinDandy, congrats to both of you! Sounds like a great…

Congrats on the long run!!

Ah, @shanaber, it was you - thanks! I now have three pairs of running pants - I've been getting by with one so super happy to have a couple more. <3 Now it looks like I have an excuse to get more shoes, too! B) The ones I have now are the Brooks Glycerin 14 and they're pretty much the only shoes I've tried that seem to…

I've done this a couple times, too, although I've found that having a day of rest before my long run helps. I can do two or three shorter (3-4 miles) runs in a row but I can't yet do a longer run back-to-back. I think it's ok to adjust the schedule, though. Life happens.

Great race report @MobyCarp! I can't remember anything that happens while I'm running, too busy trying to talk myself out of quitting. :p

Welcome to @anitamistry1 and @declan_h! Sorry to hear about your injury, @hanlonsk. Hope you heal up quick! I was going to weigh myself this morning to add to the chart but it's been so long my scale batteries were dead and I was not changing them at 5 in the morning. Plus, I can't even find a tape measure. (Maybe I just…

Wondering the same thing. Geez, it was hard enough to find one pair!

Me, too. :'(

So not there yet. Maybe some day...

Happy Anniversary! @skippygirlsmom so cool about seeing a coyote. I love seeing wildlife - the best I've seen is a bobcat. @ona1990 welcome! I'll have to check out the spreadsheet but I haven't weighed or measured myself in over a year and don't have a clue what my stats are. Anyway, brutal run last night 7.8 miles. It was…

To be fair her original post said most people. A 20% success rate means an 80% fail rate. 80% is most. I do think being on this site gives us a big advantage with all the knowledge and experience of those who have been successful long-term.

@shanaber just ordered some Lucy brand pocket capris. Hoping they work out - it's really hard to find running pants with good pockets. Run this morning ended up only being half my planned amount. TOM complications - I'll spare the details. Had to have my husband come get me. :s I'll try again Tuesday for a longer run. So,…

Yes, that's what I'm using. I have a really hard time with intervals and changing my pace but I'm new at that so hoping it gets better. @WandaVaughn, our halfs are just a week apart - mine is November 12 and my first as well. What is the name of yours? I like to look them up and see the courses. Mine is the Monterey Bay…

@Andy504 welcome! @girlinahat, hugs to you - hope you're ok from the crash and so sorry about the loss of your pet. Losing pets is so hard. This morning's run was a quick 3 miles. My training plan had me warm up for 10 minutes, run 12 minutes at my fastest pace, and then cool down for 10 minutes. But then the app didn't…

I would second doing an actual training program to increase stamina, which will likely have you running fewer days per week. I'm currently training for a half marathon and my week usually has runs of varying lengths and paces. For instance, my last week was 4.16 miles at 10:44; 8.46 at 10:56; 3.25 at 9:46; 4.49 at 10:23 so…

Half marathon in November!

Tried posting a pic but was too big. Anyway my wine glass has ounces and calories right on it.

@shanaber, that's hilarious - running while on a conference call. If you can do that, is it really necessary? (I think about 90% of the one's I'm on are pointless and I would be better off running - would anyone even notice?)

Mine is 11/12/17 so we're just a week apart. Week two of my training plan - using one from Map My Run. It's kind of cool because it based my plan off my run history and does these 12-minute tests after which it adjusts. LOL. Welcome! "Not dying" is usually my main goal! Good for you!

It's only August 1st and there are so many posts! Welcome to those just joining! I'll set a goal of 75 for August. This morning's run was 4.16 at 10:44 min/mi. MTD: 4.16 / 75

Just to finish out the month: Total of 80 miles completed. Goal was only 60. See you all in the August thread.

I have no problem throwing away food. We have a lot of parties and end up with a lot of food I don't want. I ask people to take stuff but if they don't in the trash it goes. Especially if it's something that's going to take up a lot of my meager calories.

3.25 miles for me this morning at a pace of 9:46 per mile. July to date: 71.49 / 60 (I obviously low-balled my goal.) I'm finding myself with some conflicting goals - or too many goals, I guess. I want to run faster and do 5k in under 30 minutes, I want to run farther because I have my first half-marathon in November, and…

I'm 5'4" and getting from 155 to 135 was relatively easy over about a four-month period. I stayed there for quite some time because I had a lot of life happening and decided to maintain until things calmed down. I'm now down to 130 but that 5 pounds took around 3 months. I'd like to get down even more but I'm also training…

I use MapMyRun and am also doing the 1/2 marathon training plan. :# I just have to back out some of the calories because it overestimates quite a bit according to my HRM. @Sliedur, congrats on finishing the C25K! Yesterday was rest day (from running) so went for a nice 16-mile bike ride. This morning I got in a nice 4.49…

@Orphia, love those leggings! @RespectTheKitty, no great advice here but I'm sorry you're having to go through that. I hope you get some helpful advice and are able to find a balance. Not sure if I'll get in a run today or not. I'm going to try for 8+ miles again on Friday so if I do it'll be a short one. I'm thinking…

@KatieJane83, wow, Embrace the Suck is right. Glad you're feeling better and so impressed that you actually did that. Oh, and I think we tie our shoes the same way. Man, was that an eye-opener when the lady at my running store showed me there was more than one way to lace shoes! :smiley: @PastorVincent, listening to The…

@scarlet67 and @Arctic_Chick welcome!! @cameronheel, Happy Anniversary! No run for me today, may do some other cardio or weights later. Happy Monday!
