Almond milk and pudding
Can you make instant pudding with almond milk--the package specifically states it won't work with soy, but has anybody tried almond? I am interested in making sugar free fat free instant pudding.

1/2 marathon
My friend invited me to do the Echo 1/2 marathon June 8. The longest I have run is 8 miles. Mainly concerned about knee issues (tends to ache after longer runs) but really hasn't been longer than 1 day of mild discomfort lately. I would not race for time. Would be willing to walk parts. Knees happier on trail runs, and…

Time for Photos to be online
Hi All! My son and I ran the Expedition Everest Challenge on Saturday and I note that the photos are still NOT available. How long do they typically take to post the photos? Fun run but rainy and cold and we were in Corral G so didn't start until 10:36. We had a great time for the 5K but totally blew the clues, so didn't…

Long distance runners live shorter lives?
http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2014/04/03/running-more-may-not-help-you-live-longer/?hpt=hp_t3 Would be interested in more studies that can answer "why?" And can this study be replicated with the same results?

Sea level to 9600 feet in 8 hours
Typically live at sea level, no running yesterday during travel. I am due to run today, and tomorrow is my long run-going back to 7-7.5 miles due to leg /knee pain. So, how many would do the long run with such a drastic change in altitude? I do feel the difference, I think I can handle a 3-5 mile treadmill run, but I am…

Any Men with Coronary Heart Disease out there?
Am trying to convince my husband to push himself a bit more to exercise. He had some angina a bit over a year ago and has improved quite a bit on medications. He used to not be able to walk to put the trash out without chest pain but now we are going for walks around the block (1.3 miles), some light bike riding, and he…

Protection from dogs
My friend, who got me started running, was attacked by dogs yesterday. She is ok but her little dog is not (he may live though). She was attacked by 3 pit bulls, and didn't run with her phone so had to leave her dog and run 2 miles home to call the police. She was attacked along the same route that I normally run. I…

Protection from dogs
What will protect us from a pack of dogs while out running? (friend attacked by 3 pit bulls on morning jog). Stun Guns? Pepper Spray? Loud noise? What works?

Vastus Lateralis or IT band?
Pain when landing on right foot above and to the right of right knee (about area of a softball). I generally have flexible quads and tight hamstrings and I have no idea how loose or tight the IT band is, but I can stretch it with no problems. Pain(more uncomfortable straining feeling than anything else) began 1 mile into a…

Caring for your bike.
I am not new to biking, but never really learned how to take care of my bike. I always pretty much ignored it. However, I have been reading some online about cleaning, lubricating, etc. I noticed that there is quite a bit of sandy materials in my gears, and the lubrication (I probably used too much) really didn't do…

Polar HR Monitor yelling at me
Went for a run (really slow jog) first time in a month after ok from doc (knee pain). Polar hr monitor kept beeping at me that my heart rate was too high, so I walked until it stopped beeping, then resumed, Repeat, repeat.....repeat, until I got home. Average hr 178 (my max heart rate is 175). Before this jog, I hadn't…

Can't run for a month
Having some knee pain after running, read lots about it and tried a few things that just made it worse, so saw sports med/orthopod and was told I have to stop running for a month. Unfortunately it includes walking as well, and anything else that hurts. Apparently the swelling and pain in my knee was worse than I thought.…
