Living in Houston and running outside means it is pretty well "hot" at whatever time you choose. Usually I try to run in the evenings but I actually like to try and run in the hottest part of the day once a week or so. This last weekend I ran for a couple of hours in the 100+ heat of the day. It is uncomfortable, but you…

My new favorite thread.... Hotties, Bikinis, and Motivation! What a combination! ;) Now if I can just ge the courage to post mine.....

Houston.... (or Pearland atleast) ... in the house! ;) Welcome!

Are you by chance doing South Beach, Atkins, or anything low carb? My wife and I use to do South Beach and I would notice a burning sensation sometimes with very light activity.... especially in induction phase... good luck

Read your profile and you are an "Awesome Person!", that obviously enjoys helping wonderful people!

Well, I did four miles in them last night with no major pains this morning.... The only issue I have so far, is I am one of the 10% of the world that has a second toe slightly longer than my big toe. So it is pretty tight and uncomfortable. I have found several website where people describe issues to stretch them. I will…

Congrats on the victory. But maybe more important congratulations and thank you for being the type of teacher that gets brownies and a note! Enjoy your summer ;)

Do you wear socks with your? Do they stretch at all? I bought socks. They are a little snug with the socks on, but I tried the the next size up and they just felt like the toes flopped at the end.

Everything I read indicated this was the first one specifically for running. And I read somewhere that the laces versus the strap allowed people with wider feet (me) to get a better fit.

Obviously at the end of the day it is a judgement call. I know that recovery from extreme lactic acid build up can be miserable, throw in a small strain or something and I can see your pain. (Although back makes me nervous a bit) Typically, if loading up on ibuprofen or alleve won't touch it, then I would consider getting…

I definitely would not force myself to eat those back. On my long run days I can burn over 2000 calories. I am not about to gorge that many back. The good news if you are hungry you have plenty of room to eat something you normally would not have room for. Hope this helps...

Houston Here.... Welcome!

Hello, My name is Jeremy, and I am in! Thanks!

I am on week six or seven (not sure) and have lost 21 pounds! Eighteen weeks is a long time!

ditto here..... Great stuff!

As a chubby person who happens to be a husband, I understand the whole negative encouragement thing. So let me defend us husbands for a second. My wife and I have literally grown up together, being married seventeen years. Last year she decided to make some changes physically and though I made sure to be completely…

I just read a great book on the plane yesterday titled "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall. Very interesting and inspiring!

Thanks for all the kind words everyone, glad to hear others have had similiar discussions with themselves...

Just bumping to make sure and show the wife when she gets home..... You had me at Peanut Butter..... ;)

My wife and I just bought Polar FT4's for HRM and love them.

Houston here. Welcome!

Yes.... I should clarify I am only slightly shady.... :wink:
