I have that too! Man I feel for you! My trainer had this funny looking tool he rubbed on it and my eyes started watering and I felt like I was going to throw up too! I am so glad it is not just me! I am trying to take it easy for the beginning of this week - so I did 30 minutes eliptical this morning and 30 on the…

I x-trained today I am still having some calf pain, but it is sooo much better. i have never done a marathon, but I it is one of my goals for the future.

Kechi- Great Job My husband and I relayed a 15 mile race today- I ran my 7.5 first then jogged the last 7.5 in- I am a bit stiff, so I might head to the gym's hot tub later. Have a great Saturday run everyone!

No running today, I did a "pump it" weight lifting class this morning, Zumba & pearsonal training tonight. My DH and I are doing a 15 mile race relay style (7.5 each) this weekend so I am trying to cut down on my miles this week. Have a great day everyone! and great runs!

I am taking a day off, I am having some calf pain. Long run tomorrow! Good job everyone!

No running for me today, it is a x-training day. I think I will go to lap swim and do the stairmaster. Zumba was fun last night! Mir- I also have problems with blisters and my HRM mine seems to be more with the really long runs, I finally got some a chaffing stick (it looks like deodorant) that seems to help a bit. I hope…

My DH has bad shin splints too... he uses a taping method in x's, he has found it is the only thing that releives his pain. Here is a website: http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/cybertherapist/front/lowerleg/shinsplints/taping.php I am not sure if it will help :)

I ran hills today, I have a hard time with those workouts! I am so excited, my trainer just started teaching Zumba, so I am going to her class for the first time tonight, before I lift! Has anyone else tried Zumba? Is it suppose to be a good work out?

Tofu Stir Fry- Tofu pay fried with lots of veggies, and maybe a few rice noodles! Yum!

I got 3 miles in this morning, I am going to try for another 3 at lunch, and a nice bike ride with my DH before we lift for 30 minutes this evening! I also coach Girls on the Run today ( a positive body image program for girls) , 3rd to 5th graders, they always keep me moving for an hour!

Ran 3.5 this morning, and eliptical this afternoon. Getting ready for a long run tomorrow at the local trail, running with other people always helps motivate me!

Have a bowl of the minestrone soup before the meal, and ask for the salad dressing on the side! It is the only thing that saves me from over splurging there! Everything is sooo good. Enjoy!

4 miles today-outside! I love running in the fall! It is so nice here today! The leaves are begining to turn! This afternoon I will hopefully get in 45 minutes on the eliptical before class, and maybe a walk tonight!

I went to the gym late last night, 6 miles of intervals. I am excited I get to do an easy run today!

It went great! It was a beautiful day out. Not my best time, but it was sooo much fun! Thanks for asking!

I have a polar F11- I just got it so I am still discovering all the cool stuff it does, so far I love it; my DH has a Suunto (sp?) and swears by it.

Thanks guys!

Hi I am running a 5k this weekend and just started training for a half marathon, and I was wondering if I could join the group. I could definetly use an accountability check each day.

Hello! I am running a 5k on Sunday. It is my second. Is there any tips, suggestions, or information that some of the more experienced runners would be willing to share?

I download "techno jam" podcasts, they are free and they keep me going even on 7 mile days

Thanks! I am always low on protein, since I switched my ratios per my trainer. This helps a lot.

My husband and I used to live there. We loved it! We still have family there. There are some great areas to live, and things to do on the trails, and lakes. If you need any details about specific areas just ask!

We love those bottles! THANKS!!!!

Does anyone make their own protein bars, or have a preferred brand they buy?

I was wondering if anyone has preferences for bike roof racks. My husband and I just broke our Thule fork mounted rack (under ground parking), and need to replace it. We did not mind the fork mount, but I was wondering if anyone else has any favorites?

I am fairly new here and I have never formally introduced myself. I am excited to get started !
