I'm originally from NJ and am moving back at the end of the month to Middlesex County :)

I live in Colorado right now, thanks to the Air Force, but I'm getting out at the end of September and moving back to Middlesex County :) So excited! I'm running the Atlantic City Marathon in October!

I have GERD and its pretty bad. I had an upper GI scope done last October with some biopsies and the esophagus damage is pretty bad. I take a high dosage of nexium everyday and will probably have to for the rest of my life. If I go one week without it, no matter how well I eat, the acid reflux comes back and its not just…

added you guys! I'm @sassycraftyfit Just started using IG recently :)

I'm running my first in mid-October in Atlantic City :)

I would definitely recommend doing the firmware updates regularly. I have a habit of not connecting my garmin 220 regularly and I missed a few updates and couldnt get a signal at all. Now I just check every week and I havent had a problem since.

7th Grade English Class. We listened to the verdict on the radio. How crazy is that, though, that class stopped so we could hear the verdict of a murder trial. When does that ever happen nowadays?!

For a long run I wear a fuel belt with 2 10oz water bottles, my cell phone, a key to my house, and fuel (usually cliff shot blocks or honey stingers). And I have an ipod shuffle that I clip to my shirt. That's about it. Oh, and my Garmin watch. Edited for typo.

I'm currently maintaining my long run at around 8-10 miles right now because I have another half marathon (#6) at the end of June, and then I will switch focus and train for my first full marathon in October!

Running my 6th half marathon at the end of June, and then will begin training for my first full marathon in October! Feel free to add me :)

Attorney here! I moved to a new position last summer and I essentially work alone, so I dont have to worry about people bringing in snacks, etc., but my bigger problem is when I dont plan ahead, I end up getting takeout for lunch and/or dinner. I also travel at least once a month out of state, and then I am stuck eating…

I do good until... the weekend! I am in such a good routine all during the work week, but then being home on the weekends, running errands, doing chores, LONG RUNS, etc. All completely throws me. Really trying to create a better routine for the weekends to keep me on track!

Sounds like patella tendonitis. I had a mild flare up a few weeks prior to my recent half marathon, this past Saturday. I took it easy for a week, iced everyday, I also have a tens unit, so I used that on my knee. My stomach can't handle motrin or ibuprofin so I just took some tylenol. I've started doing more leg…

I used some KT tape in my half marathon this past weekend after a flare up of runner's knee (mild) a few weeks ago. I've been strengthening my legs, but used the KT tape just as an added precaution. I improved my half marathon time by 5 minutes and had no pain during the race! I use KT Pro tape. But like others have said -…

People assume that because I am quite introverted, that I am also a push-over. Until I have to argue with them in court. They always seem shocked that I can advocate better than them. :wink:

I have had grinding in my knees due to maltracking - patella femoral syndrome. My left knee got so bad that my knee started dislocating and I eventually had patella-realignment surgery 10 years ago. My right knee is not anywhere near as bad. I run half marathons and am training for a full marathon, and the only time I have…

I have the Garmin 220 - it just came out at the end of last year, so it initially had some software glitches (not picking up satellite signal, battery not showing correct %), but the most recent software update seems to have fixed everything and its working pretty amazingly now - picks up a satellite signal immediately…

I've been running for about 6 years now. When I first started I really didnt like it - running never really interested me, outside of running to a different base during a softball game. In 2008 I decided to join the Air Force and knew I would need to be able to pass a physical fitness test which included a 1.5 mile run. I…

Icing and resting is really important. I have chronic knee injuries (but still run half marathons). When my knee pain flares up, I rest and ice for a few days. Then I will start off using the recumbent bike on a low level to see if my knee can handle it. If it can, I will do that until I feel like my knee is getting…

I'm a military lawyer (JAG). Being a lawyer means I mostly sit at my desk all day, but at least being in the military, I get time during the work day to workout, so that helps a bit. Also, since the military requires that we stay in shape, I feel a bit of extra incentive not to miss my workouts.

When I was studying for the bar exam, I treated it like a full-time job, and made sure I did other things to keep myself sane! I would go to the library from 9-5 everyday (Monday-Friday) to do my studying, etc. I'd pack healthy snacks to take with me (the study rooms allowed eating). After I'd finish up studying for the…

I'd love some random friends!

I'm also a runner! I've run 4 half marathons with my 5th coming up in three weeks, and planning to run a full in October!

That I enjoy quilting while watching old WWE wrestling dvds :)

Feel free to add me :) I need some MFP friends!

Hi! I'm Lorraine. I've used MFP before, but I am back with a different username and looking for new friends. I'm 31 years old and recently got out of a 2 year relationship. During the relationship I gained 15lbs and I'm really wanting to lose it. I run pretty regulalry (including half marathons), so my problem is mainly…

Sad this group isnt so active, but I guess we are all pretty busy! I'm a military lawyer (Air Force JAG) and I guess the plus to being in the military is they expect us to be in shape, so we get time during the work week to work out! I also keep my work stress down by running regulalry, including long runs on the weekends.…
