Yelling "he doesn't bite" does not make the jogger being chased by your unleashed dog feel any better about the situation.

Wow! You are fast. Runners World has a race prediction calculator that will give you a very good prediction of your finish time. I have run the half marathon maybe half a dozen times and I always average a pace at the race that is faster than any of my training runs. It is fun and exciting to be running with others. That…

Glad you are feeling a little better :flowerforyou: When I read your post, I was reminded of myself crawling to the doctor with a 103 degree fever a few days before a half marathon. I should have gone to the doctor days earlier but I was in denial and really wanted to run the half marathon. The only reason I think I…

This sounds like FUN. Running/Walking: 75 miles

Feeling safe enough to share the "bad" times as well as the good!

Hip size is different from waist size. It is our "waist" size that is a good indication of our heart health. The apple shape ( large waist ) is more at risk for heart disease than the pear shape ( large hips and thighs ).

"need a sandwich" :laugh: There is a big range of healthy weights and everyone carries their weight very differently. When you throw in muscle mass things get even more confusing. There are a couple of measurements that you can take to tell if you are on the right track. Supposedly your wrist size can give you a clue to…

Welcome to running.:flowerforyou: Done properly it is a fun sport and a great way to maintain your weight. "but now this might sound weird but my left leg (which is my weaker leg) feels as though its really limp especially at the ankle area and when i am running it feels unsupported." Make sure you are not lacing your left…

5'10" and lovin' it! I'll be sure to check out the group. It is wonderful to see so many tall, beautiful women in one place. Thanks for starting this thread! :flowerforyou:

Yeah what he said. Grilling + fresh herbs tastes so good!

The American Kennel Club has a list of breeders for each breed. I agree with Tom though. We have had 2 pure bred dogs. One was bred for showing. Someone in his bloodline won Westminster. He had some serious tummy/dermatology issues that we believe were caused by his being bred for appearance. Very sweet dog for a hunting…

Oink! Oink! I am trying so hard but I would just give up if you guys were not waiting here for me.:flowerforyou: I love to run in the morning. This morning I couldn't b/c I had an appointment. I came pretty close to skipping my run today. Around lunchtime I realized that I needed to return some books to the library. So, I…

Oink! Oink! :drinker: Omg. So I had 250 calories left yesterday. I started the day feeling pretty good about that. Well, I am 650 calories over tonight.:noway: The good news is I played a game of rock scissors paper tag with the 8-12 year olds that I coach tonight. As the coach, I am proud that I have never been tagged. Of…

I'm starting to think we should all plan to do Richmond next year. That looks like one that a lot of us could get to easily. So far, I'm doing the Tobacco Road half in March. It is flat, fast, and a BQ. Fairly new race but had an awesome debut last year. Mostly b/c of how gorgeous the course is. It is mostly on well…

Break out your jump rope Girlie.:flowerforyou:

Good morning :flowerforyou: I had a great 4 mile run this morning. Plus, I finally don't feel insanely hungry. I predict I won't be a pig today.:laugh: chat soon, -Kechie.

Good morning :flowerforyou: I broke another one of my weigh in rules this morning b/c I promised you guys I would weigh in this morning. Of course, I had already eaten breakfast when I remembered my promise. So, I broke the never weigh yourself after a meal rule. To my surprise, all 3 times my scale answered 171.8! That is…

I am the one woman on the planet who does not like chocolate. So, no I have not had the SA Chocolate Bock. Sounds uh chocolatie.:ohwell: I am looking forward to an Octoberfest tonight too. It is pizza night at my house and you just have to have a cold beer with a slice.:drinker: -Kechie.

Good morning Friends :flowerforyou: What an inspirational group! I need more data before I can post for accountability this week. I weighed myself and started logging on Tuesday. So far, I've been on track just 1 day, yesterday. Of course, reading how well my friends are doing has motivated me to be on track the rest of…

Tagging for later. Looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the recipe Wendy. I say "yummo" too and I love how annoyingly perky "Rach" is. She is someone I would love to have a drink with. I also love soups. I am looking forward to trying this one out. This week, I made a yummo spicy black bean soup that my whole family loves. Pm me if you like black beans. @Julie: Poor…

Almost done logging for the night... I have 350 cals left.:drinker: I may or may not have a healthy snack in a few minutes. Today was a great day for me. I spent some time feeling a little hungry but not stomach eating itself hungry. I am way behind on my water intake today for some reason. Maybe b/c I haven't been running…

Vent away Tabby. I like it.:tongue: @Julie: Let me know how you make out. I LOVE Krispy Kreme. That is part of the reason my lunch was 1500 cals yesterday.:embarassed: Hubby and I went there after lunch...Oink. Oink. @Becky: So proud of you for telling you hubby no and not stealing any of his food. Hope you enjoyed your…

Yay Leash :flowerforyou:

You're welcome :flowerforyou: @Tabby: I'm coming to collect that Hoptober TONIGHT. LOVE it! Good stuff... I'm back from lunch and a horrible liar. I ate. Yes, I ate lunch. I ate as if I had not eaten lunch already. It was weird. I was hungry. I'm estimating I ate 1500 calories. I'm chalking today up to burning 1700…

Morning Friends :flowerforyou: Y'day was baaaad. First of all, I logged everything.:drinker: Even the huge bite of mango I had while standing at the kitchen counter packing my dd's lunch.(Leash:tongue: ) I was 133 calories over and fine when I went to bed. Minus, the yelling and hand gesturing incident with a distracted…

Hello Friends :flowerforyou: Current height / weight: 5'10' / 172.2 (The scale gave this answer all 3 times.:laugh:) Goal weight: 160 Age: 41 No kidding. I think my scale has lost it's mind. I feel like I'm about 165 now. Anyway, I'm weighing in weekly now. I also updated my goals on MFP. I have a ton of calories. Let's…

I laughed out loud when I read this B. A good friend of mine is always wearing really high heels. When I asked her why she said it is to correct her bmi. Unfortunately, I love sensible shoes too much.

OMG, you guys are killing me!:laugh: Esp. Tom and his tt talk. Julie I am 41 too. I think I told you this before: I lie about my age so much that my closest friends in real life tried to estimate my "real" age and missed my 40th by an entire year.:frown: They threw me a surprise 40th bday party for my 41st bday.:laugh: I…

Omg, Julie we are so alike! I have figured out that my scale does that too. So I stand on it 3 different ways and write down the answer I like.:laugh: Too funny...
