Planks, squats, lunges, jumprope. Kettlebell workout. Wii - Dance with the kids or use the FitActive variety of exercise dvds

Life.. my health, family, job.. everything. I'm blessed, everyday.

Thank you all so much.

I have a love/hate relationship with squats and lunges. They work. And I feel like they've helped me be a better runner.

Earlier in the year when I started half marathon training I had a few toenails that went black and eventually lost 2. It was suggested to wear bigger shoes, different socks, etc. Done all that and still had the issues. I think for some of us it just happens.

I can't view your diary but sometimes it can be that food needs to be re-evaluated. Sometimes more/less calories. Sometimes I amp up the workouts and that works. Good luck!

Fear - the fear of somehow going back to the girl I was before. I don't want that. No way, no how. That alone keeps me moving forward. I see before pictures and feel ashamed that I ever looked that way. I look at new pics and feel proud. My goals keep me moving forward. I want to see the final pictures and feel like I…

Good luck! Have fun!!

I like Nuun as an electrolyte replacement rather than Gatorade. I have used it on my long runs and during half marathons. I prefer to use Honey Stinger Chews as fuel during long runs over any other Gu, chomp or beans that I have tried. p.s. I am beginning to consider marathon training myself and am curious about training…

Try to add some speed intervals/fartlek runs or even long runs (6+ miles) to your schedule and see if that helps. And also re-evaluate your food choices.

I love my Garmin305. My hubby got it for me for Christmas last year but purchased it on Amazon for a fraction of the cost.

usually 5-6 days a week anywhere from 45-1:30 or so depending on what that day calls for. I ran a half marathon on Saturday and I am sick this week so I am not logging as many miles or workouts.

I say go today and do cardio.. treadmill, elliptical or something. And then do a good stretching routine afterwards. I take BP 3 times a week... T/Thus/Sat. I run on those days as well and do crosstraining on the days between. I'm always sore after BP but find I am less sore if I work the sore muscles out a little.

I was running a 10 miler on my favorite paved running trail one Sunday evening. When I got to the half way mark I noticed a bunch of police on the trail scanning the woods. I stopped to ask what was going on... NAKED man in the woods! They were "close to apprehending him" I was told so I decided to keep on running. Towards…

I'm actually 5'3. - what kind of build are you? (small, medium, large) medium - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? 164... depends on brands but I float between 10 and 12 - what is your goal weight and why? goal weight 142-144 for now. Why? Because it seems like I could possible…

I keep nuts, fruit, raw veggies and boiled eggs at work with me.

25 ish a week is my goal. I love when I hit 100 miles for the month. I run 4 days a week usually. I follow a program when I am in training for a certain race.

Your body needs rest. You also risk the chance of injury. I would just follow the program and cross train on the off days. I run 4 days a week (during half marathon training) and while I feel the urge to run on non-run days I don't run. I cross train... elliptical, spin class, ARC Trainer.

I think it depends on your goals. You can work on speed while training for distance. At least, I have. I run 4 days a week. I do one easy run a week (3 miles at a comfortable pace). I do a tempo run and then a speed work run. On the weekend I do a long run. I've been in half marathon training mode all year long (just ran…

I don't do anything different than I have or would do if I was doing a training run. Dinner the night before a race for me is usually chicken and a baked potato with very little seasoning. I don't like anything heavy or rich on my stomach. Race morning I eat a half eng muffin or slice of toast with peanut butter about…

This. I think it really depends on the person you are complimenting. I don't get easily offended.

After a long run or long/hard workout... chocolate milk!

Most of the time for me it is dinner but usually because I work out in the evenings.

This. I feel like it helps me especially if I complain about not losing weight. Also having it opens makes me realize that people might be reading it and I am more likely to stay away from certain foods because I don't want people thinking, "OMG no wonder she's still fat she ate xyz." lol

Running. I can do it anywhere, anytime.

Congrats on your progress!

I usually do my long runs on the weekend which are my high calorie workouts! I still go to the gym and try (but often don't succeed) in eating as healthy as possible. I still log on and input all my food. Weekends are tough.
