Slower runner in front is zigzagging making it tough to pass. 4. Group runners are talking so loud that they can’t hear you coming. 5. Fatigued runner walking decides that they are…

Help me please, runner's question
I want to know some BASIC things I can do to prep for a long run. The web is a great source of too much information. I found all this stuff about power shots, gels, carbs, yada-yada. My goal is to avoid dying, not to be on a par with a world record athlete's routine. Right now I just drink water before running and if I go…

R U a Lazy Runner?
I run for 1 hr at 6 mph up to 4 times per week. I can do 7.2 mph easy but rarely do. Am I lazy? How hard do you push it?

Things you see during your run?
I regularly run a 6 mile course at a local park. No matter when I go, there is always something of interest along my route. Today it was a woman who was clearly training for a marathon. She was decked out from head to toe in Olympic quality athletic wear and was cruising along at 10mph with no signs of fatigue. What kind…

275.5 miles in 2011 NSV
I just added up my miles for the year. I ran 275.5 miles in 2011 (and lost 76 pounds). When I started MFP in early 2011 I could not fun faster than 4.5 MPH and for no more than 1 mile without a break. I ran 12 miles this morning and it was no problem doing the first 3.5 miles at 7 MPH. Thanks MFP friends and supporters for…

Question for runners...
During your your run, which mile feels like the longest? The first or the last one? For me it varies but it is usually the first one.

Am I stealing nuts?
Nuts liter the ground around the park’s pecan trees. Recently I started I grabbing up a few handfuls on my way to the car. Am I stealing? The squirrels and birds eat them but many of the nuts rot before they are consumed.

Car Broke Down NSV
I ran out of gas near a steep interstate off ramp. Ran up the ramp then to a gas station then back to the car. About a 1.2 mile total round trip run. Took less than 20 minutes. The old me would have taken a few hours. :happy:

Gutless Man (with pics)
I started MFP in April 2011. My blood sugar was a little on the high side and my blood pressure was at stage 2 hypertension level. Both are normal now which gives me great peace of mind.

I Started in April 2011, hit 65 pounds a few months ago. Some folks are just now claiming to notice. Conversation goes just like this (coincidentally these were all members of senior management)... "Hey, have you lost a LOT of weight or something?” “Ahhh, yes, thank you” “Cause you are looking, uhhh, smaller, uhh, what…

Corporate NSV
During a workout at the company gym (before I lost any weight) one of the business development guys listened to my story about how I was going to get in shape. What he was saying with his responses was basically “Good luck you fat slob”. I caught up with him yesterday in the locker room. Looked like he had a bit of a belly…
