I sat and planned out my year to motivate my behind. Since I am already registered for the Get Lucky Half in March that gave me a good start. I have planned in the 10K Running Opener at Phalen, Northern Lakes 10mi, Mpls 1/2 Marathon, Color Run, Ragnar and the Monster Dash half plus possibly 2 other 1/2s in MI and SD. I…

If you are looking for a new level of shoe anyway it wouldn't hurt to go get fitted and see what feels right. I started with Asics and thought the same thing but then went to Brooks and then on to Mizuno(SUPER light weight). I ran 5 half marathons and my first full in the Brooks type shoes and LOVED them. But they have all…

I ran the Get Lucky in 2011 - it is still my PR Half Marathon to date. LOVED IT! I was pregnant this year but when they opened registration for 2013 the next week i signed up - figuring it would at least by my post-preggo goal. So here I am - DS is 6 months old and I am still struggling but my eye is on that Get Lucky. I…

Sounds fun! I totally bailed on then Turkey Trot and was so mad at myself for it so I am going to be better and be ON BOARD for this one! :)

I am really considering it... i am so sporadic on my running still and with winter it is only making it worse BUT i am signed up for the Get Lucky Half so It wouldn't hurt to get a 5k or 10k under my belt in Jan. I am a bit worried about the cold but know that i really do run better in the colder temps... my biggest…

Got in my 4 points yesterday! I had a GREAT workout at the gym last night. I am on daycare duty today so I am hoping to get in some kettlebell at home this evening before the hubby gets home. :D WOOP WOOP!! THIS IS FUN!!

COOL! I am seriously considering doing Tuesdays (and Thursdays after the we finish a bible class the beginning of the year) so I will keep an eye out for you. :) Have fun on Saturday. I was hoping to do that one but have family in town and couldn't convince them to go!

WELL DONE!! I made it 1/2 way there! :) Might be asking a bit much to drop 5 more by Friday but I will try to get closer! :)

Definately not eating enough and not the right stuff. Try to eat all "real" food - veggies, fruits, whole grains, dairy, proteins... these things will help you stay full longer and you wonlt need the other stuff. I didn't look at your water intake but definately try to get all 8(or more) cups a day. You will feel much…

I joined late in the day yesterday and had a busy evening with church and baby so only got in 3 due to not getting in excersize but i will be all over it today. Already have 2 of the 4 for today! :)

CRAZY! about the EXACT time you posted this i was looking them myself. There are a bunch of threads on here about what people think about them if you search NIKE FUEL. Seems like most prefer the FitBit over the FUEL. I am torn too. I tend to be a gadget girl that loves to buy them and then they either break or i never use…

How was the attendance? do alot of people do this?

I get alot of mine from either Target or Kohls.

When i started running in 2009, I used the C25K training. It worked GREAT. And after i did that run, i just did the training again until I was comfortable with a good base. I went on to train for 10k, half marathons and then finally the full marathon last year(2010). For the Half and Full training I used Hal Higdon's…

I am getting back to running after about 10mo off having a baby. I have downloaded edmondo but i really love using my mapmyrun app so i get really oerwhelmed with the others... but maybe if i had friends on there it would be more fun. :)

I agree ^... try to eat your 1200 and stick around there but eating too far below that will only hurt your efforts as your body will go into starvation mode and hang on to stuff ergo the scale goes up or stays put. Trust me on this... i have MANY years experience with ups, downs and plateaus. Try that for awhile... also a…

I was't either but you have to figure we are all here for the same or similar reasons and it is a bit motivating to be honest about it than to keep it to ourselves. :) GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

I have heard Jetfit is good. I tried it but being more of a runner it was just too much for me. My sister lifts but she likes to just use a good ol' notebook. :happy:

EVENINGS!!! I do really well all day long and at night I have a couple vices that I just have to get a handle on but at night my stresses from the day come to a head, i am starving for dinner and I can't control myself. Don't get me wrong, it isn't like i dive into cake or a jar of cookies but I will cut off cheese, or…
