I like your new pic! :) i know what you mean about wanting to incorporate more. I love BodyPump ... like Banks said, start off with low weights (I do 5lbs on each side for warm-up, 7.5 for squats, 5 for other leg exercises, and 2.5 for everything upper body.) Of course depending on where you go, every class is different. I…

Good morning runners! I had speedwork this morning with my running group ... 1.5-mile warm-up 2 200s 2 400s 2 100s 1.5-mile cool-down I am pooped! Time for coffee ...

Hey everyone! Did a 3--mile tempo run this evening ... felt pretty good!

Good morning! I have Boot Camp tonight, so no run for me today. Quick question ... I heard somewhere that it is not good to eat dairy before a run because it can upset your stomach. Well last I had a bowl of cereal before my 4-mile run (which was supposed to be 6 miles), and about a mile into it my stomach started…

Anybody know any easy recipes using eggplant?

Hey all! Boot Camp for me tonight ... which always includes running of some kind, but different every time. :)

I meet up with a running group as well, but you can also get some reflective shirts or a vest if you don't feel comfortable running in the dark. Stick with a path you know, too.

turbo jammin'? what is that? sounds awesome!

Good morning runners! I had a speed workout this morning. It went like this: 1 mile warm-up 2 800s w/ a jog break in between 4 100s w/ a small jog break in between 1.5 mile cool down I REALLY did not want to get up this morning and run, but it makes finishing the workout that much sweeter. :) Have a fabulous day!

I'm doing a 4-mile tempo run tonight after the sun goes down ... I read this great article on RunnersWorld.com about running only 3x a week to train for a half marathon (and cross train 2x a week). I was just talking with a fellow runner yesterday about how I was concerned that I only ran 3x a week, and then this article…

Good morning! I have Boot Camp tonight so no run for me today. :) Have a wonderful day everybody!

Ben & Jerry's ice cream!!!!

Good morning everyone! What a beautiful morning. I ran 5 miles - the furthest I have run in over a year! It felt GREAT! Half marathon here I come!!!

Good morning all! Rest day for me. I am already sore from Boot Camp last night! Happy Friday!

Good luck everyone on their races! I am off to Boot Camp tonight!

Good morning all! I'm back from a few days at the beach. Ran 4.5 miles along the boardwalk while there ... beautiful! This morning I did my pace run with a running group.

angel food cake, lite coolwhip, fresh medley of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries ... YUM! and all for less than 200 calories :)

I did a pace run ... 2 miles slow, 1/8 fast, 1/8 slow, repeat 8 times, 1 mile slow! PHEW! (Wrote it from my hubby's account earlier - sorry!)

Rest day for me! I'm super duper sore after SEAL traning yesterday!

Go buy youself a SmartOnes Mac'n'cheese. You'll fulfill the craving without overdoing your calories. Then for dessert grab a popsicle or Skinny Cow Skinny Dipper ... only 80 cals and wow those things are yummy!

Is there a significant advantage of buying a Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor vs the Polar F4? Just want to see if the extra 20 bucks is worth it. :)

Can anyone recommend a good runner's lotion/cream to prevent chaffing? Where do you buy it? How much does it cost?

Amen! We all splurge. Think more LONG term than short term. So, you ate too many calories today. In the grand scheme of things, it is not going to make THAT much difference in your weight loss this week. Just don't eat three tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. :)

As far as I know it's only in Richmond, but I am sure you could find something similiar to the program up in your area. Where in NoVA do you live? I grew up in Chantilly. :)

Good morning runners! Today I woke up bright and early for Bring-A-Friend SEAL training. If you're not from Richmond, Virginia, you may not have heard of the SEAL team. (www.sealteampt.com) It's basically boot camp led by a former Navy SEAL, and it's intense! A friend of mine is on the team so I went to check it out ...…

Wow, what a stinky thread! hehehehe :) OK, bad joke. Good luck with the skunk! I am running 3 miles this evening with a friend. I'm a little nervous because it's supposed to be HOT. Any suggestions for running in hot weather? (90 degrees plus humidity)

Way to go Kechie on all the races! That is awesome. I have boot camp tonight, so no run for me! It took me a while to realize what "TOM" stood for (I understood it in context but didn't know what the letters meant) - but I got it now! I definitely keep up the exercise during my TOM ... first of all, it lasts 6 days so I…

Great job, Mireille!

I didn't make it to my 5:45am strength-training class. :( My parents are coming into town tonight for the weekend so my plan is to make it up sometime in the next few days when I can sneak away to the gym!

It's all right, we all have those days! You are going to feel GREAT on your 5-mile run tonight. Sometimes our bodies just need a day or two off to get rejuvenated for the next run! :) Congrats on losing the weight! I did my sprint workout this morning with a running team. The alarm went off at 4:55am and I prayed that it…
