Running Bummer Stickers
I was over some friends' house. Well, they are my husband's friends... but they are pretty impressed with the distance I'm able to run. I also have a 50k bumper sticker on my car. So the female was saying that she would be happy and accomplished with a 13.1 sticker.... and how it would be her dream to go that distance. Me…

Long hot showers
I was running this morning... I think of various stuff while running. This morning was unusual. I thought about taking a long really hot shower. I thought about it like it was girl scout cookies, a really nice moist chocolate cake with whipped frosting or pizza. I wasn't interested in food, I just wanted to burn my skin…

How cold is too cold to run outside?
With the Arctic temps hitting the mid west and north east states of the US right now, I was just wondering your running tolerance. My tolerance level has gone down in the last 5 years. -15 degrees F for half a mile run. 15 degrees F for any run over that distance. What's yours?

Zombie, Run!
So I'm not sure if you guys know about the coming zombie apocalypse... but as runners you should all be completely aware. There is this app entitled above that prepares us for the zombie take over. I tried it this morning and am totally prepared for a complete take over. Zombies have nothing over me! Then I started…

How to run an unprepared 5k and win
For those of you who read my post on how to run the 50k unprepared. If you prefer 5ks instead, here is how its done: 1. Eat a whole box of crispy creme donuts the night before because it tastes so good. Then when someone says to you, "why are you eating so much??"... look on them and say, "uuhhhh... carb loading... I have…

What type of stricker are you?
A friend shared this article with me and another suggested I shared it with you all. I have some wonderful friends :-). http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/16/pounding-pavement-by-heel-or-toe/?smid=fb-nytimes&WT.z_sma=HL_PPB_20131016&_r=0 I pretty much run both ways. I use my heel for lighter runs (most of the time) and…

How to run an unprepared 50k and win
At least find out that you are running it a day before the race.... at least two days would be even better. Step two: do not research the run since this will just freak you out even more. Just show up and have fun. Step three: taper off your runs as soon as you find out that you are running it. Note: to be really…

1000 - 2000 calorie burn
Today I ran for 130 mins at 8 min mile pace and burnt 1450 cals. I'm 5'5" tall and about 116 - 118 pounds. According to broscience this isn't possible so I guess I'm a cyborg from a parrellel universe. I'm possible gonna eat approximately 2800 cals today without putting on weight. Oh yeah, broscience probably chalk up my…

From awesome to cray cray :-)
I was just wondering, what is the longest running distance for a person before you would move them out of the 'awesome category' into the 'crazy category' to the 'is this person a machine??' category. For me awesome is anything over a full marathon, crazy is 100 milers and 'that's not a person but a machine' is anyone who…

5ks VS Halves and Full
I've noticed that my first two miles are usually the slowest on my training runs. Also, I am able to run at a much faster pace after the fourth mile. So, 5ks are brutal for me, where in a half marathon, I can 'relax' to a 5k pace around mile 4. Do anyone else have this problem? I'm thinking probably before a 5k I should…

Favorite protein bars?
I like questbars... my husband thinks they are gross. He likes pure protein bars and some of them I think are gross. I also like the whey protein liquid 3oz syrup drinks that walmart sells. They are sweet and thick, my husband however thinks they taste aweful. I also like the power pak puddings too :-D. So, what's your…

How crazy are you when it comes to running?
So, as I passed up running today because of the crazy lightening storm, I was wondering if you guys would have done the same? I'm pretty obsessed when it comes to running since it feels so good and the exercise high afterwards is priceless. It feels good passing kids on bicycles or people on skates as I run or passing…

Help! I have problems reaching 6000 cals!
So, I would really like to eat more and look like a pig. The only thing is that I'm addicted to running and I have to work 5 days a week, so I have no time to add an additional 3000 cals between Monday and Friday. I'm tired of having six pack abs and people wanting to look and be like me. I really would like to look like a…
