Introduction!
Hi ladies! My name is Cat and I was diagnosed with PCOS formally last year but my doctors have thought that was the issues since I was about 16 (12 years ago). I suffer from insulin resistance, Hirsutism, very low energy, painful burst cysts, high blood pressure, and amenorrea (2 years no period). I was on Metformin and…

Nike+ Running vs. Runtastic Pro
Trying to decide which is best for tracking runs. I am a bit of a data junkie, and love to see all the number. Which do you use? Do you recommend it?

Protein?
Ladies who do Stronglifts...How much protein do you eat each day. I am stuggling to get over 100g, and I should really be probably around 124 ish if I eat one gram per lb of lean muscle mass, which is what I have heard I should do. Do I really need to resort to protein shakes? Feel free to check out the last week or so of…

I graduated from C25k today!!!
So happy to be finished, and so glad to finally know what a runners high is. I am so excited for my next phase of training (speed work for a month) then training for a 10K. What an incredible journey from not even being able to run 1 minute, to running over 3 miles in less than 35. I am the happiest girl in the world right…

Runners who lift?
Anyone out there a runner (i barely classify myself as such) that also lifts "heavy." I run 3 days a week and am working on increasing speed and training for a 10K, but I want to incorporate that intimidating weight bench in our garage into my life too. I would love to do two days of heavy lifting to help with my weight…

Sorry...no modesty when it comes to this. I am running a 5k on saturday and after todays pace (my fastest…

Your running shoes
No, i am not asking for reccomendations, I got fitted and love my sneakers. I just want to see what everyone out there is running in. I love my Purple and White, Mizuno Wave Rider 16's. They are light and cute, and give me tons of support for my high arches and supination. They cured my shin splints and even gave me a…

My "post-grad" plans & a question
My last run before I graduate is on wednesday! I am running a 5k on Saturday, and have one race per month planned through october. Some are longer distances, the longest being a 10K in September. I do much better having a goal like a race to work towards. However, I am not a very fast runner at all. I run about an 11:30…

Why was I scared of the final week?
I don't know why I had myself so psyched out about this final week. I just finished the first day and I did it with no problems at all. I even ran an extra 8 minutes after it was over to finish the course for my 5K. It was all in my head. So next time you are psyching yourself out, just remember----it's not your legs…
