anyone have sciatica? How long did it last? What did you do for cure?
Hi all: I am a runner who would run 5 miles 4 x a week. In Dec/Jan I ran 3 half marathons and I think it was too much for my 64 year old body!

exercise breaks for building muscle
Hi: I do pull ups daily (with a band to assist). I have one of those over the door frame bars. I do 3 repetitions of 10-12 pull ups each.

MFP protein goals seem high
I am hoping I can explain this in a way that makes sense. On MFP my protein goal is 88. Does that seem high for a woman who is 5'6 124?
