Another from Ontario(Central, Georgian Bay)! Always nice to have Canadian friends though!

What a great post! I'm a runner too!!!

No reason to be nervous about posting - you look fabulous!! Great work!

Hey, what about just jogging on the spot?? This way you are partaking in the pre-race warm up but not changing your routine.

I use it on my oatmeal also. I grind mine daily - I only find it has a nutty taste. It is good if you have cholesterol problems or stubborn bowels (my issue). You have to take it for some time before it actually helps (a month at least). The doctor I worked for swore by it - that's when I started using it!

Do you only use them on runs over 10 miles? And do you do sports drinks or just water??

I actually looked at the Margarita today - but thought I would put the question out there first!!! Thanks for the input!!

Awesome site - thanks for posting!!!

Ditto to the above comments!! Ask somebody at the gym if you are a member - or if the have a comment wall leave a message looking for buddies! I have found a few running friends this way!

Thongs don't ride up babe!!

Pink!!!

LOL - ain't that the truth!!! Checkin' in from Southern Georgian Bay Ontario (Tiny Township)

Ed you are truly amazing! You should be so proud of yourself and what you have accomplished in a relatively small time. You are a true inspiration to many of us here on MFP and I'm lucky to have you as a friend!!!

I just use my own tunes on my iphone - but if you find something that is timed for a certain pace/speed - please let me know as I would like something that could pace too!!

Great job!!! You should be very proud of yourself!! You can really tell in the last picture how much has come off!! Keep it up!!

Fabulous work Hun! You look so much healthier!!!

John Stanton - Running book (The complete guide to building your running program). Plus, since hubby and I kinda skip buying Xmas pressies I got new running pants, gloves and thermals a couple weeks before Xmas!!!

Wow, your muscles look so delicately defined ( if that makes sense - sexy not bulky). Gorgeous!!

Proud of you for getting your daughter out with you - I wish I could get mine going with me. Also, I found for the cold on your cheeks - I have a Buff - you can use it as a hat/neck warmer/or it wraps around the neck up over your cheeks and head - your local ski shops/outdoor stores should have them - less bulky than…

Congrats to everyone who has posted today!!! I'm going to just keep going on from where I am W3D3 coming up - but will keep checking in for advice and support!!! Have fun out there!!!

Bench dips - oh my - arms are gonna be screaming today after boot camp and this!!! Do we get to count a calorie burn for this?? If so how do you record it?? Keep them coming Rachel!!!

Post pics rockin' it if you buy it!!!

Alright that got the heart rate up! Will do day 2 at the gym tomorrow!!!

Oooo, starting to wonder if we'll be able to move by the 25th day - LOL!!!

Yikes, thought it was starting tomorrow - I'd better get moving - sounds as bad as doing inch worm with one leg up!!! Of we climb!!!

Woo hoo, way to go - I can't wait to get there!!! that's just over 11Km - rockin'

Love to run to Thunder struck - except I usually end up with a little air guitar going on - LOL!!!! How about OZZY??? Crazy train??

Likewise, I also found it's not a great burn. I did it with my dad as he was trying to get back into exercising (he's 73) - and found it all seniors or people with limited mobility. I would stay after the class and swim a mile to get the heart pumping.
