Plantar fasciitis? Pain in arch
So as a little intro, I have run on and off for a while and pretty much always been at least active in the gym. Starting this past summer I started a more regular running schedule and have stuck with it thus far. I run 4 miles- 5 days a week, usually outside. My sneakers (Asics GT-2000) may be a little old at 5-6 months…

Winter workour gear
OK, so I finally made my way to running outdoors and I love it! But now the mornings are awefully cold, and sometimes rainy. The rain I can't do anything about and am just going to run at the gym on a treadmill (yuck.) But I am not sure what to do about the cold. I want to stick to running outdoors for as long as possible,…

Hello fellow mfp-ers
So, I am not new to MFP, but I am looking for some new pals to give and receive guidance, support and motivation.

I am now running 4 miles \ 5 days a week and am…

So what should I eat folks?! Alright, so the boyfriend and I have had a hankering for some Mexican food and recently had a good recommendation for a restaurant. I would still love to enjoy myself with out going hog-wild but there are no nutritional facts to help with my judgement. I don't really know much about Mexican…

Going back the the 5k training?
So, with school and work keeping me really busy I have only been able to go to the gym one or two times a week, and the lack of consistency is showing in my runs :/ Where I was able to run a full 5k, now I'm struggling (probably more mentally) to get through one mile. I know that running indoors has a lot to do with it…

"The Zombies Caught You"
So I decided that I would enjoy the cool morning weather and do my run outside and then figured I had been doing well enough on the treadmill that I would finally try the Zombie Chases... and OMG, I did not evade a single one! I swear, it knew when I was going up a hill, and when I was starting to get tired. My questions:…

The most amazing run of my life and NSV!!!
Last night I worked the graveyard shift and boy it was a tough one. So when the sun finally came up and it was time to leave I was really struggling with the decision to go home and straight to bed or go for a run. On the last second I took the exit to go to the local park for my run. When I arrived at the park there was…

Protein powder!
Hey everyone! I am looking into protein powders and was wondering what you would suggest. I plan on using it as a partial meal replacement on hectic days and as a pre or post workout depending on the day. Taste matters! What do you think is right for me?

What should I eat for Breakfast?
So a terribly long story short is this: Once school starts in September I will need to completely change my whole eating schedule. I have a long commute so I leave my house at 7, and have lab 830-1230, after which is lunch, and a different monster that I have to tackle haha. I am naturally a snacker so not eating from…

Going into Week 8
So I am going into week 8 of teh Zombies, Run! 5K Training and I am kind of nervous. I have been doing well so far, and even running a bit more than what they are telling me to do... But I do not think within the next week I will be able to run the full 5k. Will I still have an enjoyable experience moving onto the regular…

Exhausted!
I suddenly hit a wall. I work the overnights so I know what it feels like to be tired. I get that I have to sleep in the middle of the day. But I started this job at the end of May and this exhaustion that I am feeling now is different. I am actually working less now than earlier in the summer, but this new exhaustion has…

Compound exercises
So I usually do an hour or so of a walk/run program on the treadmill or outside 4 or 5 days a week and then working with my PT 2 days a week. I have seen really good results so far, but I was thinking of kicking it up a notch in the last month before school starts up again. What are some really good compound exercises that…

Just a rant
I am 23yo, 5'4" and currently 132. I have been really good since I have started eating healthier and exercising again at the beginning of the summer. I have lost 8 pounds in about 2 months. I know that isn't very quick, but I am in the healthy BMI range and am close to my goal weight. I know things have to be slow and…

Check out my diary, help
I took an almost year long hiatus from any kind of a healthy lifestyle due to a crazy schedule revolving around school, work, etc. I recently started up again and was pleasently surprised that I only gained maybe 10-12lbs during that period of time, but I had lost significant muscle mass and my metabolism is nothing like…
