  • Hell yesss! For my birthday I usually am excited if my family picks up the slack around the house so I can go to the gym MORE :)
  • The excess bloating will go away if you knock out too much processed stuff in my experience
  • I believe this response is correct as well. My husband travels 50-100% of the time with his Lantus and has never been given an issue or brought ice. He throws it in the mini fridge in the hotel when there is one (there is not always one). For longer trips we've lugged around a few pens w/o trouble. These were all within…
  • Super happy to read this - I want to do goofy in 2016 - and I did Princess this past February and appreciate the new word "canted" because I knew WHY the course annoyed the hell out of me - did not know there was a word for it. It is also helpful to know that at least in the past the full was NOT on those same awful…
  • No I missed it by a day!! Was very disappointed as it looked fun - my family had booked a trip there and I really had no idea where I was going but after they booked it I saw the 1/2 and given how far it was from the airport there was no way it was gonna happen. I would totally love it I had a great time running on the…
  • Ofc :) They're all selling out stupid fast lately :) Did 2X Tink (2013/2014) 1X Princess (2014) and signed up for 2014 Avengers. Going to do 2015 Tink, 2015 Wine & Dine then 2016 WDW Weekend (HOPEFULLY) may have to defer that to 2017. I'm getting pro at signing up for this crap :knocks on wood: Let us know if the breathing…
  • Yeah - PF isn't a "program", according to them it's not a gym either, so it's access to some equipment which may or may not be what you need at this point in your journey.
  • Nicely said. I don't normally run on cement but there is this one event I go to monthly and I tested some compression sleeves there - it was the first and only time I've run on that hard surfaced area and felt fine after :)
  • First, make sure you don't have anything inhibiting your breathing like asthma (have you spoken to a doctor?) Personally I run fairly respectably/average in Phoenix, but throw me in humidity and I'm a gonner. Second, this is a fairly thorough article about the issue…
  • So I don't have specific recipes for you but I DO know that whey makes things super fluffy when mixing with liquid so may have a similar effect baking? I make my vega one shakes the same way as my familys whey shakes (they can't handle the veggie protein taste) and theirs is always fluffier/thicker so I would think maybe…
  • So makin what hubby calls my "stalker" list - as far as I know 2014 Scatter in random adventure runs at roadrunner sports in an attempt to win free shoes.....3 runners....1 income.... Jan Disney Tinkerbell 1/2 Marathon Feb Disney Princess 1/2 Marathon May OHSO to Sol Fun Run 13.1 (got lost ran 17) June Aravaipa Insomniac…
  • I really reall wanted to do the 15K Coronado - heard its really fast :)
  • I was reading an article (sorry I lost the link) but it was saying how certain ones are the "best" for recovery/after run, others the "best" for circulation and others the "best" for shin splints. However, all of them could be used effectively while running. Personally I was about to get some and plan on wearing them under…
  • It does. It was. I moved.
  • Well I don't know how deep his wallet goes but I'd drag him w/ you on a lululemon shopping trip and find their lightest tank tops (really can not FEEL when I'm wearing them and I live in Phoenix) and ask him how many $60 tiny pieces of fabric are worth it to him. Worst case you get some new tops that are easier to run in,…
  • You're in Florida. The only reason I told my husband we could move to Florida (b/c of humidity) is if we lived close enough to Disney so I could do all the runDIsney events every year. You are so lucky!!!!
  • I was lucky enough to run in 74 degrees this morning YAY (Phoenix Girl) and having run my 5k in 105 last week I would say my pace was about 1 minute and 30 seconds slower in the 105 - however I think if I hadn't done my first trail race of over 16 miles Saturday I could have maybe gone a tad faster today. However, not 3…
  • WTG - running anywhere in New England is - impressive. Can't breath there myself :)
  • Most zumba classes I will burn 450-550 but if I have the most amazing instructor everrrr then I can get up to 650. That's rare.
  • Thank YOU you took the words right out of my mouth - and a heads up if you "skinny" experience this you can write the airlines and sometimes they will give you a voucher or some money - for instance my husband argued he only got 1/2 of the seat he paid for and they gave a 1/2 refund! Lastly, at 225 you'll probably NOT be…
  • Hahaha do you fly first class? I don't know if OP will need a second seat or not but I do know they are NOT spacious. **** I'm in my 130's and I'm only mildly comfortable in them for trips under 4 hours.
  • I am sorry but I know nothing of this issue - and maybe you should look at custom orthotics? However I DO have wide feet and know Asics and Brooks run wider or you can buy a shoe that comes in a wide.
  • Hi!! My hubby and I plan on Dopey Challenge for 2016 or 2017 alsooo!!! I'm so excited I can't believe how much I think of something so far in the future! We didn't sign up for Star Wars - I'm still mad that's supposed to be Tinks w/e so I'll do RnR Phoenix/Scottsdale instead. We are signed up for the Avengers 1/2 marathon…
  • Both of these were great reads and so inspirational! Anyone else have others to share :)?
  • Why oh why Is there no "heart" function for your replay - it died in Cleveland ;)
  • I doubt they ever would it was a wasteland when I left 4 years ago - doubt it's improved since. I liked that green rolor-coaster felt like you were flying. Semi on topic : maybe bad folks go to broken down amusement parks that have been stripped of everything fun when they die.
  • Awesome glad I'm memorable - mostly because I'm opinionated I suppose. I lived 5 years near Geauga Lake - but no one there would recognize me now because that place drove me into the 200 plus lb range. I freakin LOVE Arizona.
