Pacing Woes....
I just need to get this off my chest. My running buddy is registered for a 100 mile race, not this weekend, but the following weekend and I'm going to pace him. Only, he's ridiculously under trained and I'm afraid he has no hope. The past two times we've gone out together for a long run, he's bailed before I've bailed, and…

Outside Magazine Article - am I eating enough?
Has anyone else seen this article? http://www.outsideonline.com/fitness/bodywork/performance-plate/If-Youre-Not-Eating-Enough-You-Might-Gain-Weight.html Um, so here's my story.

If not 1200, then what? Small, active woman.
Hi all, At this for a week now, and just saw some posts saying 1200 wasn't so great, and I would appreciate some input. A bit of background - I'm 5'2" and 125 lbs (well, last week I was 125. Now I'm 122). Which is fine.... but..... I took up running ultramarathons about 3 years ago. In that time, I've gained about 12 lbs.…
