Calorie Adjustment Going Insane.
I figured out this started on Saturday the 14th. It is giving me my calories burned for activities logged on my Vivoactive HR, but then also giving me a calorie adjustment for all the steps/etc. that are in those activities. I've deleted this one twice already and it just keeps coming back! I also unlinked the accounts on…

Anybody have Calf Trigger Point Problems Before?
Started having pain on the bottom of my left foot about a month ago. Thought I needed new shoes and started cycling around in the closet because it was Christmas, yada, yada. I hadn't been running nearly as much as I had the past three months (ran my first half marathon in September without any problems in training). But I…

Finished my first half marathon in 1:59!!
Never thought I'd want to run that far, but when I got back down to my high school weight, I found running so much easier and enjoyable. In June decided what the heck, give it a go. At first I just wanted to complete. Somewhere in the training I put my "ultimate" goal at finishing under 2 hours. Felt really good through…

Runners -- Talk to me about Newton Shoes, Please?
Was lined up for a 5K yesterday and we were delayed a good bit because there was a snafu clearing the race course. Happened to be right next to a client of mine and we got to chatting. He was wearing Free Run 2s (same shoe my husband had on down to the color scheme) and I had on my older Free Runs because my 4.0 are…

One Year and 24 Pounds Later...
I knew I had let myself get above my usual goal weight by about 10 pounds. My husband wanted to lose a good bit of weight so I introduced him to MFP and we both bought FitBits 2/1/12. Got to 10 pounds and was doing well, feeling good, running a lot so figured I'd just see where I ended up. I ended up weighing about what I…

Accomplished one of "my inspirations" goals today!
One of my inspirational goals is/was to place first in my age group in a "real" race. I got first in a 10K before but I was the only 55-59 female competing so I didn't count it. My favorite 5K is the Germantown Bier Run 5K here in Nashville. This is my third year running it. First two years I got a respectable 4th place in…

Recovering Speed After Long Race?
Ran my first half 9/22. Got my goal time of 1:59 (yay!) but I had to really push that last 1.1. I was great to 12 but then it was when the grit had to come out. Had some wicked calf cramps about 30 minutes after the finish (was too excited to remember to stretch, doh). I felt okay the next day, but some twinges in the…

Half Marathon Pacing & Taper Strategies?
So despite a stupid non-running-related back muscle strain 3 weeks ago (involved a Schnauzer a skunk and a futon mattress) that cost me a 5K I wanted to run and a few days off, I think I am ready. My race is the Women's Half here in Nashville on the 22nd so entering the two weeks to go point. I have been training a very…

Help Tweaking Training Plan for 1st Half Marathon?
Been running consistently again since February and had been thinking about a half since spring. Took the leap and signed up last week for the Women's Half on 9/22. My goals are to first have fun and not get hurt; second, to finish, period; third, finish in 2:30, then 2:15, and ultimate goal 2:00 or a hair under. Week of…
