Hi everyone!

Nike+ SportBand Reviews
I'm looking into getting a Nike+ SportBand to log my miles/distances I'm running. Does anyone have one? What are the pros and cons? I am getting it mainly because I really need an iPod as well, but don't want to shell out the money for a nano or touch when I plan on getting an iPhone in the near future, so I'm leaning…

Nike+ SportBand Not Recording Workouts
Today I did a 2 mile run with my sportband and when I plugged it into my computer it said there were no new workouts to upload. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I fix it?!

half marathon training + ripped in 30?
So I'm a new distance runner. I've only ever done 5Ks. I am signed up for a half marathon at the end of April and have been following a training program for that. I was thinking about starting Ripped in 30 on top of that, but it just seems like too much. The training program recommends a day or two of strength during the…

Running Motivation in the Winter
How do you all stay motivated to run when it is so darn cold out? I hate running on treadmills and try to avoid it at all costs, but it has just become so cold here in upstate New York. I used to run 20 miles a week approximately, and hoped to up that number, but instead I rarely run anymore. Help please!

Chub Rub Help
I've recently taken up running and training for a 5K and I now have some awful chaffing on my inner thighs (probably TMI I know). But what do others do that have had this problem to 1) Soothe what I've done and 2) prevent it from getting worse/happening again. I have my 5K the weekend after Thanksgiving and want to not be…

Stress Eating Help!
So I'm in graduate school and I find that I stress eat a lot. When it's midterms/finals/have lots of papers due, I find myself constantly snacking and snacking on not healthy food.

Picky Eater Here!
I'm a very picky eater. I was worse when I was a child and as I've grown I've started to like new foods, but living on my own, I find I'm more reluctant to try foods at the grocery store because if I don't like it, then it's kind of a big waste. I find myself eating the same meals all the time because there's only so many…
