Well it seems like Plantar Fasciitis is rearing its ugly head again! :(

I was doing 5 miles each running day.... slowly building up towards marathon training. Strangely on my phone I cannot post comments so have to do on PC??? That makes no sense! No running since Saturday for me. Yesterday was rest day, today was weight training... back at it tomorrow!

I just realized you may not see my runs in your feeds as I don't sync my exercise to MFP because it messes with my macros/calories... Got 3 miles in today... was not sure that was even going to happen because of the storms. I also road stationary bike for about 30 thinking I was not going to be able to run and did some…

@WickAndArtoo... their long hair does not help with this heat... one looks Border Collie Mix and the other mountain dog?? What is the furthest you have run with them. I just started my girl out a few months back so we have not gone more than 3 with her. Of course I started out right before it started getting hot...

Picture of my mutt! Mugys is her name... just turned 3.. So nice to have a running buddy!

My dog was born in the south! Unlike me, but I really don't push her too hard... I actually bought her a cooling bandanna to keep her cooler. Not sure what my dog is... she is a rescue... more than likely a black cur mix, possibly some pittie in her, she is long and lean, about 60 pounds maybe... her legs look like a race…

Got out a little earlier today to beat the Florida heat... about 2.75 with the dog and then finished up myself for a total of 5.25. A bit of walk/run for potty breaks... for the dog not me! and then just because it is hot I take a few short walk breaks... Hoping to finish out my week with a total of 15 in the books if not…

how do you add here??

What part of Florida are you ?? I am in Palmetto, Gulf Coast. I plan on doing the A1A Ft. Lauderdale Marathon. I will look into that clothing!

Runner here! Tough running in Florida but I hate the treadmill and I also hate getting up early to run! Planning on doing my first marathon in February 2018. Terrified and excited all at once! Looking for tips regarding strength training, eating, general training guidelines... I plan on only running 3 days per week.

I did look for one but did not see an active group.. maybe I missed this one... thanks

I have been doing those too although not as consistently as banded... will add them back in although I struggle just as much with them.. my body swings too much when I jump up...

For some reason I was struggling to find a substitute because they all seem advanced. I cannot do a pull up to save my life. I have 2 bands used but I can barely do 3 or so so was hoping for a somewhat easier option or I guess I can just struggle to get in as many reps as I am able even if not what is called for in that…

There is nothing indicating lateral pulls in my book.

Following

Thanks for the advice!

Yes, regarding the warm up, I know it says to spend 10-15 minutes on it but how much time/reps per exercise? Also having trouble following the Exercise index for modifications of things I cannot do since only have home gym. For example, lat pull down and hyperextensions. Is there an easy way to find these in exercise index.

Are you able to explain more how it may help (or perhaps hinder??) those with thyroid issues... I do IF and believe there are other benefits but would like to understand more, particularly regarding thyroid.

Thanks morkiemama!

Day 2... these lunges kill me!

:) Great! The more the merrier! Day 2 for me tomorrow! Went for a run today.

I figured it out... just took me awhile!

could not find answers there. I did post a question but last I checked had no answers.

yes, I have and just not figuring it out...

I am more confused looking at the werkit log sheets!

Yes, I need to make sure I get enough protein for sure... Maybe I will concentrate on that number alone for now and see how I do (well along with total calories!)

Can someone help me with figuring out the workouts?? I am so confused regarding workouts 1, 2, 3, 4 and workouts A and B... Wanting to start tomorrow. I know what exercises I am to do, Squat, pushup, seated row, step up and prone jacknife but not sure how I do the sets, I believe I do 4 sets, although a workout log I…

I am starting this tomorrow. I have read the book, started the workout about 2-3 years ago but got sidelined by an injury. I am totally spacing on how the daily workouts go... Can someone dumb it down for me. Not understanding the logs at all!

Right now just looking to drop weight and then want to move onto building muscle once I get to my goal weight (understanding that I will probably gain at that point)

Thanks! I have the book, I guess I need to re-read better!
