It's that time of the month...
...am I the only one who weighs 1 pound+++ during that time of the month? Every month? I guess it's all the bloating going on but seriously, it's annoying! Couple of days before I get my period I always go like: "I feel fat! Look at the cellulite! I gained weight!" and my boyfriend goes like: "no, you're just about to get…

Do you speed up/slow down/maintain the same pace on uphills?
Yesterday I had a 4.5 miles hill run with my team- we were supposed to go easy on flats and downhills and surging to faster than half marathon pace on uphills.The first 2 miles were tough but doable-changing pace has not been a big issue. Then we had to run a 0.32 mile-grade of 4.4% hill-I couldn't keep up with the higher…

Racing and Vomiting
Hi fellow runners! I ran a 4M race in Central Park yesterday and it's the second time that I start feeling noshes towards the end of a race. I made some researches and every one says that it happens when you are nervous or when you push hard. Although sometimes I feel noshes when I push myself too hard during training…

Hip Pain
Hello fellow runners! Did you ever experience hip pain? What did you do? My right hip has been been bothering me for one week now- it's ok when I run. The pain is inside the bone. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I need to know what I am doing wrong...
I have been using MFP since October 2012. I weighed 134.5 lbs in October and I now weigh 128 lbs. My goal is 123 lbs. When I set up my goals, I decided to use MFP guided program to lose 1lbs per week. I have a desk job, so I put sedentary. MFP suggested to eat 1200 cal per day in order to lose 0.8lbs per week. I run long…

Here is my new post-run recipe!
GARLIC SHRIMP WITH WHITE BEANS AND TOMATOES I saw this high-protein recipe on Runner's Word but I decided to personalize it a little (less shrimp/more beans and LESS olive oil-you don't really need 4 tbsp!). Plus, the way they explain it is confusing and it says it is for 4 people when I can barely share it with my BF!…

UltrAspire Spry Race Vest (or other vests)/Running belts
Anyone has this particular one? Any suggestions for a great vest? I was doing a research and although I'd like to have a vest with some space to put at least a light jacket in it, I don't like many of the vests I saw because they look too big and Im afraid they'd bother me while running. Also, I personally dislike vests…

What to eat for lunch before my evening running?
During the weekend I run in the morning on an empty stomach but twice per week I run at 7pm for 7-8K alternating speeding with jogging. I have a very sensitive stomach, so I cannot eat too much before my run and especially, the latest I can eat is 2hrs before my training. Any lunch/ lunch+snack suggestions? What do you…

Favorite post-workout song?
After my intervals and my tempo runs, it's "mandatory" for me to listen to: Home- Edward Sharpie and the Magnetic Zero The Great Beyond- R.E.M. We Are Young- Fun
