Thanksgiving: log or not to log
So, how many people are actually going to try to log calories for Thanksgiving day and how many are just going to say "tomorrows another day"? :smile: I think that I am going to let this be a day off. Didn't Banks say that eating freely one day is a way to get over a slump? Happy Thanksgiving everyone :drinker: Bunny

Has anyone taken a class called Bodypump at the gym. It is a class that involves weights and is really challenging. It is trademarked and is supposed to be offered around the US. I was wondering how to log it in the exercise log.

Runners: What do you do when injured???
Hey all you runners! I haven't posted in a long time and its great to see some familiar names at MFP. I am in dire need of advice. I injured my ankle 6 weeks ago and still can't run. The doctors don't agree about what is wrong and so of course the treatment is really slow. I've tried walking on a treadmill and stationary…

How do I start running again?
I've been running for over a year now and have built up to about 15 - 20 miles a week with max 7 mile long runs. I got sick with the flu - :sad: and missed four weeks!

Any one else running in compression tights?
So I tried out my new CWX running tights today and they are great! I was alittle sceptical because they are sooooo tight. But they really helped me with my IT band and knee issues.

Our training group had a 7 mile run yesterday and towards the end I got this horrible pain in the bottom of my foot and toes. I am limping badly today. The trainer said to get it xrayed for a stress fracture if it doesn't get better. Anyone else have a stress fracture? Help! Bunny

Yikes! I am a relatively new runner. Been running for nine months now and completed a 10K in November.

So I am ready for a watch that will track my workouts - most importantly my speed while running. Any recommendations? Is the Garmin the best? Are there any deals to be found? My husband bought me a Timex "Fitness Tracker" but I don't know how accurate it is. Any ideas? Thanks :wink: Bunny

gaining weight after running?
So yesterday I did my first 10K! I was so excited and had a great time. The only damper is that when I stepped on the scale today I had gained two pounds! Is that crazy? Too much sodium, potassium replacements? Has this ever happened to you? :grumble: Bunny

technologically challenged !!!
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good running watch so that I can track my run/walk? I googled Timex but there are too many choices. Also I keep reading about the Heart monitors and it seems you can figure out your calories that way. Sorry I am technically challenged in the sports arena and would appreciate any help…
