Hi there Tabassan! I think we've been posting for a year now. Just a fun group that checks in daily. We post about running, walking, resting, and other workouts that we do. Look for us daily! We'd love to hear what you're up to.:smile:

Wow! Great job Jess! Pat yourself on the back.:drinker:

Way to go Becky! I'd just add 32.5 minutes at 10 minute mile pace and 32.5 minutes at 11.5 minute mile pace. That will give you close to an 11 minute mile pace averaged.

Good morning :flowerforyou: 6 miles for me today. Got to go get started eating all of my exercise calories! Enjoy the day -Kechie.

Good morning:flowerforyou: I ran 4 miles today. Enjoy the day -Kechie.

Me too! Running is so much easier when I reach my goal weight. Hang in there! I'm doing one pound a week too. We can support each other.:flowerforyou:

Congratulations on catching the race bug! Races are fun. I love being in one place with so many people that love running. I run a very hilly course every time I run. I used to hate it when I first started running. Now I LOVE it. Most of the time when I go to races or run in other places with friends, I run well because…

Sure. It means you are going to run 1600 meters (1 mile) at a "comfortably hard" pace. Then, jog 800 meters (1/2 mile) to recover. The "4" means do this 4 times. Comfortable hard means you can get about 3 words out. I check myself by saying "pace is good". If you can talk more, you're not running fast enough.:wink: It is…

Good morning!:flowerforyou: 3 miles for me today. It's a gorgeous day for running here. I wish I could run all day.:sad: Unfortunately, my reality is calling. Gtg. Enjoy the day -Kechie.

I don't usually want to go but once I get out the door I am fine. How about you?

I'm resting today. Well not really - I gardened for over 3 hours this morning. I'm beat! It's good to see you guys posting:flowerforyou:

I want to offer support and encouragement to everyone who wants to cut back. You can do it. For many years, I drank a glass of wine every single night. The only time I didn't drink was if I was sick, pregnant, or nursing.:laugh: I did this for years. I did not see the big deal. Until, one glass turned to two and I asked my…

I LOVE quinoa. Here is a yummy recipe that I like to make: Chicken with Quinoa Tabbouleh Quinoa is a whole grain that's rich in carbohydrates and is as easily prepared as rice. One cup of raw quinoa is equivalent to about three cups cooked. 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, grilled and thinly sliced For the…

Congratulations on signing up for a half marathon. I ran one in November. It is now my favorite race distance. Are you training for 16 weeks?

Hi Sudzie, Good for you! Definitely try to get fitted at a running store - not ****'s or any other big chain. Happy Running!

Good morning Runners:flowerforyou: 4 miles for me today. Shouting out to Kara Goucher this morning.:drinker: For our non-running friends, she is the American that was 9 seconds away from winning the women's Boston Marathon yesterday. She will win next time! Go Kara Go!

If you decide to weigh in every Wednesday, I would weigh in the first Weds afterwards.:smile: I suffer from pms. So, I also do not weigh myself during that time period either. If you can stand it, don't be a slave to your scale. Most months I end up weighing in 2 times - 3 times max... If you can do it, weigh yourself less…

Definitely get the bikini. He!!, if it is in the budget, get one for every day of the week! You look amazing!:flowerforyou:

Hi Loren:flowerforyou: How old is your profile pic? You look smokin' hot in that picture!:drinker: I'm not sure what the exact numbers are... I think there is some theory that no matter what size you are it looks sexy if you have the hour glass shape. That's when your bust and hips are about the same and your waist is…

Welcome Becky!:flowerforyou: Great to see everyone checking in today. Today was a rest day for me. Yesterday was my "long run". See you tomorrow :heart: -Kechie.

Your salad sounds delicious!<mouth watering> Don't miss out on the opportunity to socialize that ordering in pizza for everyone will provide. Eat your yummy salad with the group!:drinker:

Weighing in once a week works great for me. As someone else stated, I weigh in on the same day and at the same time every week - usually first thing in the morning. Also, I don't go anywhere near a scale during that TOM. For me personally, my weight fluctuates during that TOM. Since it drives me crazy to see that I've…

Thanks for the tip! :flowerforyou: I LOVE this site!

YUM! Roasted red pepper sounds YUM. Plus, anything spicy is YUM YUm YUM. I'm new to hummus. I recently tried whole foods plain hummus. It was ok. I liked the flavor but was not overly excited by the texture - theirs was just slightly grainy. I'm definitely not going to give up without trying roasted red pepper or a spicy…

Almond slivers and raisins:happy:

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Thanks for sharing. Great post Marla. So inspirational. I am so proud of you. Congratulations! Great time! Way to go - just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

It is great to see you here! Thanks for posting. I just got home from 6.5 miles. I usually run early in the morning so the "heat" made my workout feel harder in a good way. I had fun! -Kechie.

Good for you! :flowerforyou:

Now! Enjoy your vacation:flowerforyou:
