Lifting and Running
I'm training for a half marathon. My schedule has me either lifting or doing cross training one day a week. I would prefer to lift, but since it's only one day a week, I'm not sure what I should do? Should I lift all muscle groups that day, a little bit of everything? Or should I concentrate on a few different areas and…

Blisters
I'm training for a half marathon. I've run one before, two years ago. But I'm out of shape again, so I'm basically a newbie. I'm taking the training slow, but I have a question about blisters. Every time I run I get blisters on the inside of my instep. Could this be caused by my shoes? I know they are kind of old and need…

Buying Airfare?!?!?
Does anyone else hate this chore as much as I do? I'm trying to buy for my husband and I to go to Florida the week of Thanksgiving, but it seems impossible to find anything that's within our budget! What are your tips/tricks for booking cheap travel?

Help! Hurt my foot!
I ran my first half marathon last Sunday, (yay go me!), but I seem to have hurt my right foot in the process. :grumble: It feels fine when at rest, but hurts to walk on it. I have been taking it easy, and I am waiting to see how it feels on Wednesday and Thursday before I go to see the doctor, but I can't take another day…

Tough Mudder
Has anyone done one of these? I'm doing the Warrior Dash in a few weeks, and I know the Tough Mudder is way more difficult, but I just wanted to see if anyone had done one. If so, how was it? Did you like it? Why? Or why didn't you like it? Did you finish? How did you train? Did you follow their training guidelines?…

Yoga Video
I have done some yoga in the past, but I am interested in adding it to my current workout. What are some good recommendations? I've heard a lot about p90x yoga, can I just buy that dvd, or do I have to buy the whole p90x system?

Blister Remedies?
I'm running a 5k this weekend, and ran my practice run this morning in the gym. The problem? Now I have a blister on my instep :grumble: . I have no idea how I got it, (I mean, obv, it's from rubbing, but why now?) My shoes aren't new, I've been wearing them for weeks! Anybody have a good blister reliever remedy etc, that…

hCG Diet
I'm interested in trying the hCG Diet, but I don't know much about it. I've googled it, and I end up getting lots of pages talking about how great it is, which is great, but I would like to see some other opinions as well. Has anyone done it and it hasn't worked well? If it hasn't worked, why not? Is it hard to follow?…

No weight lost... But I lost inches!
I have been extremely discouraged these last few months. I feel like I work and work and work with no results. Then I signed up for MFP. I started counting my calories, watching what I ate and still worked out with not much to show for it. After reading some posts on the forum, I realized I had never once measure myself,…

5K Success!
I ran/walked my first 5K today, and beat my time by 3 minutes! My trial run was Wednesday morning and I ran 44 minutes flat. Today I ran it in 40 minutes 53 seconds! I am feeling really good about myself. I ran way more today than I was able in my trial run. I have another 5K at the end of August, I hope I will be able to…

MFP Activity Level
I'm still playing around with my MFP Activity Level in the goals section. I don't know what to put. I have a desk job, but I work out in the mornings, almost every morning. I also have a bit of walking during the day going to and from the train station. Is this lightly active? Or because I work out, do I put Active? I'm…

Too Much Water?
Hello, I'm new to the site. I consistently drink more than 8 glasses of water a day. I typically drink 12-18 glasses a day. Is that too much water? I know 8 glasses is what's recommended, but when is it too much?

Hello
I found this site through Facebook. I have been looking for an easy way to track my excercise and eating habits for a while now, and this site makes it very easy. Hopefully I will be runing in the 2011 Chicago Marathon!
