What shoes are you in? Favorite gear to share with others?
Current shoes. OnCloud road shoes. The only pavement I run are races. So, these really suck on the trail because they pick up rocks. Haha! Maybe I'll add some pavement when I make it up for morning runs. 8 drop (I think). TOPO runventure2. For trails. Brand new, but likely will be my favorite shoe ever. Zero drop. 19mm…

21day fix calories and containers
I'm just starting out. I don't have the containers yet, but have been measuring out most of my foods to the volume of the color coded containers. When I calculated my calories on the 21df, it was 1050-1250, depending on the activity level. That works for me, that where I'm currently targeting. My question is does anyone…

Daily carb goal
BACKGROUND Today marks one week since I decided to do a deliberate carb diet. The goal is to stay in fat burning mode for most of the day, eating only as many carbs that I'll burn that day- or close to it. I've found that I seem to be able to eat a larger number of carbs than I ever thought, and still drop back in to fat…

Hi all!
I'm going to give it a shot at low carb again. I use it 20 years ago to lose baby weight. So now I'm going to try to lose the last 10 pounds by tightening up the unnecessary carbs. I had been running until 4.5 months ago when I had surgery, I'm still recovering. Anyone run? Or any other regular cardio? I'm guessing I'll…

Wheat intolerance or rosacea?
Obviously I'm having an issue with a facial rash. Burning, stinging, red and if I touch it it aggravates it. Its like whelps, then flakes. Horrible. A few years ago I asked a family doctor about it. At a quick glance he said it was rosacea and prescribed an antibiotic ointment. It does not help. In fact it burns. I change…

Hi rep low weight...
I'm recovering from surgery and was i cleared to do upper body, low weights. My reaction was "ugh, why bother?". So tell me, why bother? I run, or did before surgery, swim and plan on reclaiming my ling lost relationship with my bike once I recover. Lifting hasn't been part of my routine, probably ever. I'm 46, female,…

Just kitten around...
A supplement to the MFP monthly running challenge. Being out is no fun! Feel free to cathart, solicit/give advice from/to others. I'm facing piriformis release June 16th. I'm the only runner, I know of here, that's been down this road. Really glad of that. I wouldn't wish this on most of you :smiley: I know some have…

Making the most of down time, surgery.
I have surgery scheduled June 16th. I'm guessing I'll be down a month or two before I can start a return to running program. I plan on using the time to work on nutrition, hopefully lose some weight without compromising the healing process. I plan on re-reading Matt Fitzgerald Racing Weight to help. Does anyone have any…

How now fast cow?
Sat out on an injury for 3+ weeks and now gauging how to get back in the groove without setting myself up for unnecessary strife or injury risk. I don't know what I did and I have no indication how to prevent it. I'll also be out later this year after surgery. So please share your thoughts and experiences on returning to…

INJURY!
So, I've done something to my foot. Wednesday/Thursday it felt like it needed poped, rubbed maybe some heat- like a subluxed cuboid feels as it's just becoming a problem, but this is about the navicular bone. I went about my half on Sunday. 5 miles in it complained, 9-10 miles in, running was not possible. It's better with…

Weight loss on injury rest?
I've actually lost 3 pounds in the last week, 2 days really. I haven't run a step, no cross training, just rear on the couch. I've tried to keep my calories adjusted so I don't gain while waiting for an injury to heal. The weight loss is completely unexpected. I haven't lost anything in 3 years. I have been better at food…

Chronic pain and staying active. How do you manage?
Hello everyone, I would love to train for a 1/2 marathon or sprint triathlon or just be able to make it to the gym or a run 4-5 days a week, or bike a century. Or at the very least- train for such events....sometimes I can, sort of... I am a 44yo female and I have chronic back pain. I am soliciting a surgeon at the moment,…

Base building to a marathon
Hi all! I've been part of the monthly running challenge group for sometime now. I'm just realizing that longer distances may be doable iny not so distant future. I've run 2 halves. And as I'm finally getting around to planning my April miles, I realize I am not running longer than 7-8 miles. I am working on base building.…

Marathon base miles
This may be a goofy question. I've run 2 halves. And as I'm finally getting around to planning my April miles, I realize I am not running longer than 7-8 miles. I am working on base building. My last half was enjoyable, not a super hard effort. So my long distance is only ~54% of my race distance, ~3xweek. (I am…

Cheap Entertainment
Tell me how cheap you are! Or stories on others you've seen and heard about!! Seriously... I went panty shopping today, nothing expensive just walmart packaged undergarments. EVERY package that had a bonus pair were missing the bonus pair. My assumption is that each bonus pair were pinched. Why not just steal one whole…
