Good afternoon:flowerforyou: Today was a rest day for me. However, I desperately needed some exercise calories so I rode my bike with my daughter after dinner. Every time I look at my exercise calories from biking, I love running even more. Seven for me tomorrow! chat soon -Kechie.

Good morning:flowerforyou: Easy paced 5K for me this morning. It is very humid here. Funny thing happened... I usually wear a moisture wicking visor when I run - rain or shine. I use it to keep the sweat out of my eyes. Since I ran 2 days in a row, my visor was dirty. So I used a sweat band today. Now, I have a weird tan…

:flowerforyou: Sonia Definitely get a second opinion. I also google the doctor's name before I make an appointment. Some doctor's are runners so when you google them sometimes race results will appear in the search results. Last year I was having some problems with my heels. Before the doctor could say anything to me I…

Glad you found us:flowerforyou: Welcome! Consistency has been a key ingredient for me. Once I started running 3 days a week no matter what, I experienced real progress. Awesome time for your first 5K!:drinker:

I use Runner's World's Smart Coach tool. If you plug in a current time and distance, it'll give you a custom workout schedule. Let me know if you have questions about the plan you get. Some people have a hard time understanding the speed/interval workout lingo.:heart:

Good afternoon:flowerforyou: I was scheduled for an easy paced 3 miles this morning. However, the heat and humidity made it feel a little hard. With that said, thanks to just a few weeks of only running 3 times a week and doing speedwork once a week, my easy pace is down about 45 seconds per mile. Speed/tempo workouts…

Hi there Krysten Congratulations on your success so far. I've been able to eat, run, and lose weight on MFP. I eat a healthy diet. Mostly whole foods. I practice a 20% rule with anything that has a nutrition information label. Meaning my diet is about 20% of stuff that has a nutrition label on it explaining what's in it. I…

Lemon or lime juice will keep your apples from turning brown. I use this little trick when I am entertaining. No one wants to eat those brown apples.:laugh: I wonder if you're using too much. My apples never taste lemony.

That is awesome news! Way to go Shuntae! I have always followed the recommendation of not increasing your mileage by more than 10% a week. I keep adding on weekly unless I feel tired later that day, have trouble sleeping that night, or feel sore. If I experience any overtraining symptoms, I just repeat the week until I…

She can do it. I coach girls her age (8-12yo) to run a 5k through a program called Girls on the Run. This is a nationwide program. Check your local listing to find a program near you. The program not only prepares the girls for the race it gives them important self esteem building tools to deal with some issues that they…

Way to go Christine! Today is a rest day for me. However, I did register for my half in November. Registering so early saved me $10-$20.
