5k in 3 weeks
I am running a 5k in 3 weeks (May 20th) and I have been running and working out consistently but I am wondering if anyone has a three week program that will get me ready? The goal is to run the entire thing, no walking. Right now I can run a mile in about 9-10 minutes but I am struggling with the endurance part.

Eggs
I have been eating eggs for breakfast a lot lately. I either buy the liquid egg whites or use a whole large egg and a large egg white. When others eat eggs do they do the liquid or whole eggs? Why? Just curious which is better for you etc....

Getting below that number that haunts me
Today I weighed-in and the number on the scale read 160. Which is exciting because it means that I have lost 4 lbs since starting MFP but it is also scary because 160 is a number that I haven't been below since 6 or 7 years ago. Every time I attempt to diet, eat right, exercise, change my lifestyle etc. I do really well…
