Strange smell in nose after running....
Okay... this is a really weird question... After a few of my latest runs, I have gotten this weird blood smell in my nose. It first happened after a long run but this week it has come after shorter ones, too. (I don't notice the smell until after my runs and it slowly goes away over the period of an hour or two). I drink…

Patella strap/ running tights feaux pas?
Hello, My physical therapist recently suggested I start wearing a patella strap. I've been testing it out- and will admit that it seems to be helping my knee a bit. I just have one question... When you wear the strap with running tights, do you wear it OVER the tights? (My logic tells me yes- but I didn't know if I would…

Embarrassment from old photos?
I know this is silly- maybe someone else out there feels the same way... My weight has always been pretty stable until early last year. When I gained- it came on so fast, I didn't even realize it was happening! Now, looking at photos of myself from that time (when my weight was it's highest) really embarrasses me! It feels…

Training between races.
Hello fellow runners! I have a quick question about continuing training after a race. I recently completed a half marathon (last weekend) and am registering for another in March. I followed (a self modified version) of Hal Higdon's Novice 2 training plan for my race last weekend and was wondering what other runners do…

Clean Program/ detox... thoughts?
I have a friend who is currently trying out the "Clean Program". I have heard of different body cleanses before but have no personal experience with them. Have any of you tried this program or does anyone have thoughts on it (or any other detox for that matter)?

Not a newbie- but a new mindset!
I don't know if "Introduce Yourself" is the appropriate spot for this post... but here it is! My name is Faith and after 6 months here at MFP I am almost to my initial goal weight! I realize now that I should be lower than my initial gw so I plan on reassessing after I finally meet goal on my current ticker. I can NOT…

Gluten Free Suggestions!?
My husband and I took a trip home last week and stayed with his parents, (who are gluten free). We realized by the end of the week that we were both feeling better- and are considering switching our diets. We're planning on slowly getting rid of the glutenous items in our pantry/ fridge and replacing them with GF…

Runners with dogs...
Hello all! I have a large Doberman who accompanies me on most of my runs. I've started training for a half marathon (in December) and was just curious about how far other runners let their dogs go with them! So far, my guy has ran up to 6 miles with me and loves it! (To be honest, his love for the long runs is rather…

Closet Purge
I have slowly been cleaning out my closet... Tonight, I loaded the LAST pile of shirts and pants that no longer fit into my trunk. After I donate those I OFFICIALLY don't have ANY size 8-10's in my closet! Moreover- I went to try on clothing today and not only was I able to get into the 6's... but I noticed many of them…

Hello, new here!
My name is Faith and I am training for my first 1/2 marathon. I'm working on toning up and losing some extra lbs that have overstayed their welcome. A friend of mine recommended this site a few weeks ago... I started tracking my food and was surprised by how far off my portion-ometer has been (lol)! I am excited to get on…
