You are very welcome.  I forgot where i picked that up, but i think it's very true..

HELP!!!

 So this past weel for me has been horrible.  Work has been extremely busy, and to top it off I was "injured" for most of the week.  I am not having a hard time motivating to get out there again and start running because my mind is not in it.  This is my least favorite of the three disiplines.  I think because at about mile 1.5 my right foot start to go numb ... so by 2 miles it has traveled up my leg and is pretty painful.  I am not one that takes pain very well ... and then my mental strength breaks down and I am done! 

I think that it might be my shoes.  I need to go and get properly fitted ... but my time is so tight right now with everything going on. 

Just having a rough time of it right now.  Not to complain!

Shoe fit definitely is important.  I had a pair of Adistars that felt great walking around the store that caused toe cramping about 6 miles into a run.  I've also had to work a lot with lacing, when they are too tight, I experience the cramping issue as well.  Randomly, I have switched to elastic laces such as Yankz!  or Lock Laces.  They are wonderful.  I'll never tie another running shoe again. 

glad to hear everything is going great with the kids...  they are some cute kids...

looks like you are on the right track.  Go to a running store and get the proper fit, like Jessica sort of said it may be your shoes are tied to tight.

Start slow, maybe get in the pool and on the bike, then when you get your mood back in it, giving running a shot... I used to HATE HATE running, not that i love it now, but the more you run you will start to like it or at least have a love/hate for it.

Yeah Jennie

start logging your stuff so we can keep you motivated...  How are the wedding plans coming along... if you need any help your advice let me know, my wife loves talking wedding..

Hey there!

Anyone have some good ideas on how to combat the late afternoon munchies?  From 4-6 I can't stop poking stuff in my face.  Nothing terrible, I don't keep bad stuff in the house, but I'm like a disposal between those hours.  But it's still extra calories.  Tried the drinking more water thing ...  I think there needs to be a mindset shift.  Just haven't found the happy spot.

I have started logging my workouts ... they haven't been that great in January but oh well, I am getting there!

What works for me with the afternoon snack attack.  I eat Breakfast, Morning Snack, Lunch, Afternoon Snack, then Dinner.  I try and get protein in my Breakfast and Morning Snack ... and even my afternoon snack because that is the time that I would shove anything in my mouth if it were near.  I take the snack packs of cottage cheese to work with me ... and about 10:30 and then again at about 3:30 I have a snack.  My body has gotten used to it so I can always tell you when it is about 10:30am or about 3:30pm.  Have you tried eating something like that ... or does that not satisfy the attack?

You know, I'm thinking I always do well with a plan and the input you guys have given me really helped put that in perspective.  I'm off to Whole Foods to get my scheduled snacks ... you'll all find out soon enough I'm a slave to schedules and without one, it all goes south.  THANK YOU!!!!

Jennie

i can't see your logs, can anyone else see her logs??

 Nope.  I can't see them either.  But would love to!!!

Congrats...  Your swim has been GREAT!!!   You can follow your new plan if it works well for you.  I heard about a website called "swimming community", where you can put in the distance you are shooting for then they will create a swim workout for you everyday, but i think you need to go on everyday to get the workout. 

Feel free to do drills, drills are always a great idea.  Normally you can do drills before the actually workout begins.   If there is ever a day where you want to just hop in the pool and just swim, then do it.  Every workout doesn't have to be the structred thing.

One thing you may want to think about is swimming 1000 yards/meters as a time trial.  First do a warm up set.  Then swim 1000 yards/meters without stopping, and time yourself.  Then a month later do it again, and see how you improved.  You need a baseline to see how much you have improved.  You would do this time trial every month.
