2 marathons in 8 days
October 27th I will be running my first marathon in Cape Cod, I have been planning this race for almost a year. A few months ago I was given the chance to run in the NYC marathon on Nov. 3rd. There was absolutely no way I could just pass by that opportunity. I'm aware it's probably stupid being so close to Cape Cod, but I…

What are your goals for today?
I don't know about you, but if I write down my goals, I feel more accountable to complete them. And I'd love to hear yours for motivation! So today my goal is to run for an hour even if I have to drop the fat black lab off at the house & continue running. Also, grocery store to stock up on good food! Hopefully all before I…

Allergic to running??
Have any of you heard of urticaria? I have been experiencing intense hives all over my body after running recently. Nothing had changed as far as my diet or laundry detergent. The research i've done said you can literally be allergic to running and a lot of people experience this. The hives go away with benadryl. But I…

16min. better than my goal!
Last Saturday I ran in my very first, and certainly not last, 1/2 marathon with my fiance. It was along the coast of Cape Cod, such a beautiful & challenging experience. My goal was to run under 2hrs. I ran the 1st mile in 7:42 and almost freaked out, but my fiance promised me it was fine as long as I felt good. I ended up…

Loaded Greek Yogurt
I am plain greek yogurt obsessed! & always fill it with so many things. Today I put in it: Peanut butter, pumpkin purree, pumpkin pie spice, honey, fresh strawberries, and multi-grain cheerios for some crunch. Other times I have put in apple butter, almond butter, pudding mix, any cereal/granola, baked oatmeal, etc... What…

Heart Rate
When I first started MFP, my HR would be 180's during my p90x workouts. Now, no matter how much I push myself I can never seen to get it above 160 at the highest. I guess this is a good thing?? Running is the only workout that really gets my heartrate up there anymore. Does this just mean I am in better shape? Because I…

Running App. ENDOMONDO

Tofu Lasagna!
From allrecipes.com . I used a whole jar of sauce in mine, used egg whites, wheat pasta, added asparagus, tomatoes, spinach, and some laughing cow cheese wedges. The nutrition information reflects from the website, doesn't include what I changed. Also, make sure you dry out your tofu well or it will become very soupy!…

Fresh fruits and vegetables help!
So, I am trying to eat as clean as possible with a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables. Problem is I live with my fiance who doesnt follow my diet, so its just me eating the healthy food. And most times, it ends up going bad before I can finish the things. I know I could buy frozen but it's just not the same and I don't…
