8/3 3 miles 8/4 3 miles 8/7 4 miles had a crazy week and didn't run too much until yesterday... 8/13 3.16 miles 13.16/ 60 miles down I had a charley horse in my left calf last night, and then another right after. My leg is killing me today, so I'm not going to push it and go for a run. I'm hoping I'll be able to do my 5…

I love a good beer. I am also training for a half marathon, so many times my exercise calories are beer calories (among more nutritious choices :smile: )

Yum! Thank you for this, I'll be trying this soon.

Philadelphia county here! (though originally from NEPA)

8/1 rest 8/2 rest 8/3 3 miles 8/4 3 miles 8/5 3 miles 9 / 60 miles done! I ran a 5K today to take a break from a very frustrating research project.

I'm on 1480 and have an open diary. Feel free to add!

Greatly increasing my intake of lean meats, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and vegetables. Enjoying fruit as dessert. I am completely obsessed with ice cream, so I still have that pretty often. I usually have some form of "treat" everyday, like candy or chocolate, just a smaller amount.

Best friends forever. I love all potatoes from sweet to baby red ones. I eat them multiple times a week.

8/1 rest 8/2 rest 8/3 3 miles 8/4 3 miles 6 / 60 miles done! I signed up for my first half marathon yesterday so I am now working on increasing my weekly mileage gradually.

I use real butter for toast and to cook meat in. Other meats I use olive oil. I grew up on "I can't believe it's not butter!". I still think it's gross. And now 30 pounds later I love regular butter in moderation.

My BF knows when I lose (we celebrate) and when I gain (he reminds me to keep things in perspective) and when I'm stuck in a plateau, like I am right now. He's very supportive of my healthy life style changes, and while he doesn't run with me, he's very into our nice long weekly walks. It's personal preference whether you…

Run this morning (3 miles) before work puts me past my goal for July!

I'm in for 70 miles for August :smile:

My code worked on the first try (software engineer here and gosh this is so rare that it IS an NSV for me)... but in all seriousness... I have decided to sign up for a half marathon in October, which is pretty crazy seeing as 3 months ago I weighed 30 more pounds and would only run if something was chasing me.

Put another four miles in today... I plan on passing my goal for the month... 37.58 / 40 miles complete :smile:

I exercise as soon as I get home from work, before dinner, usually. Sometimes I work out later at night if I am too hungry to workout before dinner. Sometimes I get up early for it, but that doesn't really work for me. You just have to find a time that works for you. Everyone is different.

I run because I really like to drink beer and wine... and of course it relaxes me, it makes me feel energized, helps me sleep better at night, and I can always improve so it never gets boring.

I get sick if I eat before workouts usually. If I have to eat before, I try to only do a snack two hours before, and I have to avoid dairy. The only time I purposely eat before is if I am running for more than an hour. I need some extra carbs and protein for that, so I tend to eat a banana and some almonds about an hour…

Long run Saturday brought me up to 28.58 miles, and then my 5 mile run today brings me to 33.58 / 40 for the month of July!

I am also a college student and I agree completely with the above posters. Plan ahead as much as you can. Cook for the week if you can. I used to eat out a lot, but now I'm on a really tight budget, so I can't eat out much. I cook ahead of time and plan my meals, I also plan my workouts around my job and class schedule. It…

Saturday is long run day, so salsa chicken and potatoes and green beans and a protein shake and blueberry wine and goat cheese and crackers... among other foods :smile:

For the last week: 7/19 - 3 miles 7/20 - rest 7/21 - 4 miles 7/22 - 1.5 mile sprint 7/23 - cross training 7/24 - 2 miles 7/25 - 6 miles (planned!) Weekly Mileage: 16.5 Total: 22.58 miles Goal: 40 miles

Alpha Dog - Fall Out Boy My Life For Hire - A Day To Remember I always play these when I want to give up in my last mile.

Long distance running. I love how exhausted I feel afterwards and how much mental stamina it requires to run so far.

Quick 1.5 mile sprint yesterday... still planning on another 8 miles this week. 2 mile run tomorrow, and a 6 mile run on Saturday.

Yum! Thank you for this!!

Don't give up, it will get easier as you build your endurance up! I did C25K and am now training for a 15K, so that's a little proof that if you stick with it, it will work. Keep telling yourself "I can do this!" even when it's really tough. I do that every time I run!

7/21 1. Eat only the foods that I have prelogged. 2. Run 4 miles. 3. Get a good night's sleep to be ready for my early morning sprints that are planned.

I'm on a bit of a goat cheese and sunflower seed butter spread on crackers kick right now. But usually I have overnight oats or eggs cooked with cheese and veggies.
