Me thinks HR training works, especially after I saw my results from last Saturday's run.  Albeit it was an oval run.  Still, I think it is working cuz I don't feel so out of breath on those long slow runs anymore.

A couple ideas: by keeping my favorite music on the iPod, and only letting myself listen to it when running, for example, I get motivated because I want to hear it. Or, arrange to meet someone, say at the pool, to swim together, I need to show up and we feed each others energy that way.

Keeping the motivation going keeps the energy going, I find. Got a running partner? Can you find one or find a program to work out with other people?

And keep this image in mind: a healthier, more slender Buddaha streaking past the roaring crowds at triathlon races this summer. :-)

Uh, you won't like my answer on the gelatin. 

LOL I was in a plant in northern Illinois a few years back when I found out that one. I spent the next six months looking for it in different packages before I gave it up. By the way, small amount of whining here, how on earth do you guys find the enregy to keep up your schedules?

It's a sickness I am happy to have.

Also: exercise first thing in the morning before I've had enough time to think of other things I really should do, and after downing an energy/protein drink and LOTS of caffeine

training is just part of my day.  Thats just the way it is!

ugh...Id eat 1000 times better if I didnt have kids.  My kids are WAY too picky...I know- probaly my fault

Explanation for the foreigner please?!

Question...if you run a half marathon do you have to take off a day for each mile. I don't want to screw up my training plan by running a half in May. I am up to 6 miles right now. I figure if I keep increasing I should be to 10 in no time.

For what it is worth I DO NOT plan on doing a half iron. I am just on a good running streak right now.

Oh - oops! - not so much to do with our common/dividing language as me being tired and a bit thick! Take pity - I'm meant to be studying...! (Think I'll take the hint and hit the sack!)

Just a few healthy snack ideas:

• Cottage cheese and fresh fruit (blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, mandarin oranges)
• Low fat string cheese and a piece of fruit or some fresh vegetables
• Celery/green pepper/red pepper and hummus
• Apple and cheddar cheese slices
• Yogurt and whole grain crackers
• Raw almonds/walnuts and dried fruit (blueberries, cranberries, cherries)
• Natural peanut butter/almond butter on whole grain crackers or celery
• Berry parfait-layer frozen strawberries or raspberries with vanilla yogurt and top with low fat granola or chopped walnuts
• Protein shake (no artificial sweetners and less is better on the list of ingredients)
• Protein bars (luna, clif, etc.)-look for low sugar content and a short list of ingredients
• Yogurt with fruit and walnuts
• Blue corn tortilla chips with fresh salsa
• Milk and a good oatmeal raisin cookie (read labels, less sugar is better)
• A good piece of dark chocolate (yes, just one piece)
• Baby carrots and cottage cheese
• Banana and peanut butter on one piece of whole grain bread

I could go on and on so I will stop here.  Mindless snacking is my downfall and I have been eating a lot of bad things.  My choices will be limited to the list above this month.

whats wrong with normal peanut butter?  That is my diet staple

lara13 - 2009-03-04 5:17 PM Nice 'Bat Girl' pics on Face book tammy..... you're hot to trot. i wish i could wear knee socks like that.

ugh..nothing gets by on FB does it?  I wore them cuz it was COLD  Im guessing theyd look FINE on you

no..take off a couple days depending on how hard you run it.  13 miles isnt quite as hard on the body as 26.  Start swimming and biking first then add some easy runs

Tis all in the ingredients.

Natural PB-peanuts, salt

Regular and Low Fat-more ingredients and a little more sugar, some chemicals

Skip the low fat, fat is replaced with "other" things.

OK, I had trouble finding someone by their name. How about email address with a space in between the @ that we have to remove so some crawler doesn't get it

Mine is tracy @ goodearthsoap.com
