Views on Heart Rate?
I use a Polar FT7 heartrate monitor (used to have a FT4 but it spontaneously combusted or something *shrugs*). So, I often like to keep track of my exercise calories and workout intensity with that. I suppose that, after all this time of using it, I still don't exactly understand it. For instance, when my heart rate is in…

Anybody else SKIP?
Like legit skipping, not jump rope skipping. I'm talking ease on down the yellow brick road, flamboyant SKIPPING. Honestly, I prefer it to jogging/running. And if you mix it up with walking you got yourself a bonafide interval program, bish. Ahem. My only problem is being self conscious about looking like a fool while I do…

Fun music suggestions? My tracklist is busted.
Not to say I don't like the music I listen to, I'm just so sick of hearing the same ****, lol, it's deflating my motivation. So I was hoping you guys could help me out a bit. I really like pop and R&B the most, but I listen to all kinds of things including orchestrated compositions. My favorite artist is Michael Jackson…

Running Music Reccomendations?
Salutations! So, I've been listening to the same music library for quite some time and I'm pretty sick of it, lol. Can anyone give me some good suggestions to help keep me motivated. I listen to a lot of up-tempo pop and R&B like MJ, TLC, Shakira and Utada Hikaru. But I like a little bit of everything barring country.…

Late Night Running
I'm pretty new to running and I'm finding that I'm increasingly enjoying it after just hating the mere thought of it in the past. I especially love to run at night, late at night. Like 3 am, lol. I know it's probably not the wisest thing to do as a girl, but I do it anyway. :ohwell: Does anyone else prefer being out in the…

I HATE TEA! (picky eaters club)
So, I've noticed that a lot of people love tea, but I've always thought it was totally yucky, especially green tea. I've tried many different kinds of it as well, even some rose flavored tea, but I still think it just tastes like dirt/grass water. I'd much rather just drink plain water. The only "tea" I've ever really…

Run For Your Lives! (From zombies, of course.)
Sooo, I've completed C25K but I've yet to actually run in a 5K race. I really want to do something fun that I can dress up for, and I recently found out about the Run For Your Lives zombie races. http://www.runforyourlives.com/ I'm really considering signing up for this one, it sounds pretty rad. The closest one for me…

Counting Calories: Not for Me
(Brace yourself for brutal honesty, lol.) Okay, so I've just realized that I really need to stop counting calories. I can't seem to manage without being subdued by ED behaviors (in my case, binging/purging) I don't know that I'd consider what I have to be bulimia, (due to frequency) but I definitely have exhibited bulimic…
