Hi Pens.
I might do a few easy miles later today while DD is swimming. My weight is 159 And that's about right for me.
Well I'm gonna go jog a marathon

Dad on the run.
Mmmmm Mmmm - Pork Chops (the other white meat). Just had me a big ol' grilled Pork Chop for lunch, grilled them lastnight to a nice medium to medium well. Boy was it a yummy chop! Oh and I'm in love with Publix meat, I'm done buying my meat from Wal-Mart.
Chasing the sub 20 5K.

My doctor said today he is OK with my jogging intervals until I can run next saturday. Jogging?
Damaris
I know you could do it.
Awood - good job on the weight loss and the speedy intervals. Have fun at your race Saturday. You are getting fast. I seem to be stuck more or less at the same place for the past year, 133, which is good but not as good as the 123 I reached when I was injured the first time and couldn't/wouldn't eat. I think this is the weight I can sustain, rather than an ideal weight which I can't sustain because I'm not willing to completely give up my favorite foods. Last year I ended up gaining some weight while not running, but I lost it pretty quickly and went back to my plateau.
Damaris - have fun with Marjorie tonight. So the doctor says you can now jog intervals but did you tell him you've already been doing that?
Jimmy - nice job on the 7 day streak. When is your next race?
Mitch - hope you manage your goal at the Rumpshaker. Enjoy your tempo today.
Bin - it's nice that you get a later start for a while so get to run more in the morning. Adjusting your schedule now that your wife is back at work turned out not to be as much of a problem as you thought, it seems.
Z - good luck on your intervals, and in resisting the Girl Scout cookies. I always tell the girls, "Sorry, my husband is diabetic, so we can't have them in the house" but truth is, I'm the one that has a hard time resisting, so I keep them far away.
HopesMom - I hope you don't end up overworked with playing catch up alone today. Have fun at quartet practice tonight.
Scotty - good luck tomorrow. I hope you get an all clear once again. Sounds like a lovely run yesterday. Does beer count as a clear liquid?
Lauren - good job on keeping up with the weights and toning the muscles. I don't have the discipline. It's still too cold here for shorts, but too warm for my winter wind pants. I need to get some capris, I guess.
AFM: another beautiful sunny day in the high 30s. I'm hoping to get a couple of miles in this afternoon.
He told me yes before but since people think I am crazy and that there was no way he said that, I asked again.
Ginny - The 15th. Next Saturday!

Awood-- that's a fast goal, but you do have a chance at it. Just go for it!
Docket-- Hope you all have fun! Jog intervals...LOL, nice!
Jimmy--- I'm just tickled with all the gains you've been making in your running lately. With your running going so well, I'm surprised that the weight hasn't started coming off again.
Mitch-- is the Rumpshaker a 5k coming up this weekend?
Bin-- Yay@ you actually having some time for yourself. BTW, are you going to write up an RR for your race last weekend? Or maybe you have it up and I just haven't noticed (that happens A LOT!)
Zelanie-- did you have a good b-day yesterday? Good idea to move the cookies. I tell my DH that he needs to use more of those little tricks like that to keep from the mindless snacking.
HsM-- I think a lot of people would be better off not obsessing about their weight. You have your head in a good place. Don't work too hard manning it all.
Scotty-- ugh@ your menu for today. That's so not fun. Good job on your run yesterday!
Lauren--- LMAO @ your arm descriptions! I bet you look seriously buff! Yes I think there's something to that muscle weight-- vs --- untoned weight.
Jack-- 159lbs and 6-3" --- which means you look like a runner! I have a neighbor built like you who runs. He's probably 6-7 & his daughter is 6-2 and they're both spooky, spooky fast, like you!
Tracilynn-- hehehe@ you. You always make me laugh.
I did an easy 2 mile JOG today and a short stationary bike ride. I've considered trying to get more miles in this week, but decided, my legs just really feel like they need a good break. As far as weight, other then when I quit smoking or was pregnant, I've probably been within 97-107 every since I was 15 years old. (Did I mention I was really freaking short?) I do however feel like my body looks better now than I did 10 years ago, just because of the increase in fitness.

She Can - Well if I would stop consuming twice the calories I burn I probably would start losing again. In all honesty though I have lost weight the last 6 weeks, dropping about 1 lb the first 2 weeks and the following 4 weeks have been 200.6, 200.4, 200.3 and 200.... see I'm losing! :/

Jimmy I know what you mean. One moment of weakness and it takes 5 minutes to eat the calories (and then some) you spent an hour burning, so frustrating.
AFM, still no running or pretty much anything this week. I am doing some strength training, careful not do anything like sqauts that might irritate my IT bands.
Yesterday was the first time in 2 weeks I was able to walk without pain in my feet. I still feel it but it doesn't hurt. I can still feel my knees too if I go up or down stairs or move a certain way, which is a little disappointing. Oh well, in another week I'll try some light cycling, and maybe a week after that try a short test run. We'll see. It's talking all my will power (which isn't much) to be patient
Wish I could. I can't even jog a marathon over the course of a week! Shins hurt just thinking about it
SO42 - Have you tried squats and noticed irritation? Weighted squats was one of my main exercises while dealing with IT Band issues.
Amazonian Princess
G'morning! For another fifteen minutes, anyway!
Ginny - thank you for the explanation yesterday of how you designate your runs, it was really helpful and I'm saving the info for reference. I try to mix up what I do (e.g. rolling hills on the treadmill and long runs on the paved trails) but I think being able to identity what type of workout I'm doing will help when I move into a training plan
I won't be sharing what my weight is, but I will say that while I'm pretty sure I outweigh the male penguins, I'm also wearing a pair of pants in a (smaller) size that I haven't worn in about 20 years. Nonetheless, the line of discussion made it easy to pass by the donuts today!
And can I ask a big ole newbie question? How do I know what my HM pace is? Lots of plans and people refer to it but when I Googled it, the majority of answers have to do with calculating finishing time which seems premature when my long run/walk is around six miles right now.
I can. I will. I am.
Yeah I tried some pistol squats and immediately felt it. They are part of the routine I am starting, but I will have to skip the squats until the irritation calms down some. Once it does I'll be doing them for sure
