Treadmill Confusion
So, I’ll admit I think I ventured into the land of over researching this issue and am probably just at the point of everything confuses me.

Long Distance Running vs. eating Back Calories
I'm beginning to train for a half marathon.

My Garmin doesn't track steps, but I'm not sure that feature is worth $100. Thoughts? Is it as super fabulous as it seems? Also - is the sleeping function accurate, because that's…

Iron rich vegetarian recipes needed!
Hello! I've been super tired the past few weeks, and I couldn't figure out why. I'm getting 9 + hours of sleep a night, and I still wake up exhausted. I looked at my nutrition stats for the past 30 days, and noticed I've only been getting about 20% of my daily required iron. EEK! I've been a vegetarian for 13 years and…
