No matter the time, nice run, man!
I really want to run now, but it's been a frustrating last 3 weeks.
So, it's sure nice to run vicariously through my friends! Thanks.

thanks everyone. The official time is 2:15:48, for a 10:21 per mile pace. Quiz came in 7 seconds ahead of me because she is a sprinting hooker at the end of races. No biggie though. Today though, dealing with a phantom foot injury that is causing me to limp pretty good. Hoping it's just a foot bruise, but not sure at this point...

Nice job, to both of you.
Where is the pain on your foot? I had a random phantom foot pain after my 12-er while training, on the outside of my left foot. I just iced the crap out of it, and it went away on its own after a week or so.

So how's the foot now?
As for me, got a 5.5 mile run in this morning and felt great. I honestly don't feel like I've lost a step, and because I've gained weight, it seems like I'm gaining speed as well.

Re: Diet and Exercise 2010, pt. 2: Never Going Back
can anyone recommend a good pair of headphones, earbuds, whatever, that will actually stay in my ears when moving around? regular earbuds don't. I've tried two different kinds with the thingies that hook around your ears (I believe that is the technical term
), but after 20 minutes or so, they come loose and I have to adjust them all the time.
I've tried the Nike ones, and Sony PIIQ, and have not been happy with either, long-term. Maybe I have freakishly shaped ears.

Had my physical the other day. Hyper tension, high cholesteral,...and I weighed 272 lbs. I'm on the road every day and eat like a trucker. It's killin me, litterally. Doc told me to lay off the cheeseburgers and eggMcmuffins, and pop. I've started drinking a slim fast shake for breakfast, and have been buying those ready made salads from the grocery stores for lunch. Eliminated the pop all together. I've finally put the golf clubs away. (hey, I'm an optimist) In their place I have my hockey bag. I work around the Detroit suburbs and there are a lot of ice rinks and most have noon open skate. It's the only exercise I see me getting in the winter. I'm not, nor ever been a runner.

No one said you had to be a runner. You're already taking small steps; you're eliminating pop, adding fruits and vegetables to your diet, and are active for at least 30 minutes a day. Cheeseburgers are fine, but instead of eating a cheap, low-quality burger, save it for something you'll really enjoy.

It's been a while since I told my story, so here you go:
I too am not very active,* but decided a year ago to make a change, and it all started with my cell phone. I got an Android phone, and added the Calorie Counter App (and there are similar apps for iPhone and Blackberry). Over the next few weeks, I set a few basic goals, and stuck to them. They were a calorie limit, that I would eat breakfast, as I never had before, and that I would limit myself to one small snack (like those 100 calorie packs) in the afternoon. One year later, I'm down 70 lbs. with very little exercise - basically some walking and a little biking. It just goes to show that you can continue with poor eating habits and pound away in the gym, and nothing will change until you eat better - or at least eat less...
* A year later, and I've plateaued at my current weight for around 3-4 months. I've also had some health problems (not related to weight) and had to have surgery about a month ago that I'm just about recovered from. The good news is that I've decided to re-dedicate myself to the plan, and I've joined a gym. I set a goal of competing in a sprint triathlon next summer, and plan on making that happen.
Good luck Wol4ine - it can be done, it just takes dedication!

I love a store where service is still #1. I went into my local running store (Finger Lakes Running Company) to buy a new pair of running shoes. The owner spends about half hour with me helping me pick out a new pair of shoes. And this is after taking a look at my current running shoes, getting the mileage on them, and then trying to talk me out of buying a new pair because he thinks the old ones still have a lot of life let in them. How many "big box" store ever try to talk you out of spending money or spend that much time with a customer? I love small shops!

this is why I support Boulder Running Company and Trisports.com. As serious of a runner and triathlete that I am, I know there's people out there that are much more serious than I am. I walk into both these stores and I feel like I'm treated like a professional. I spent 90 minutes getting a pair of shoes at Boulder Running Company and nearly 3 hours getting a wetsuit at Trisports. Small businesses like those are awesome

Makes me sad that Running Circles closed down. The owners helped me buy my first pair of Sauconys, gave me discounts on gels, went out of their way to order an old pair of Mizunos for me before the Grand Rapids marathon, and were just awesome overall. Now I go to MC Sports; I'm lucky the shoe clerk is a runner himself, else I'd be toast.

Feeling very relieved and thankful tonight. I'm a type 2 diabetic, and one of the big numbers we stress about is called an A1C - basically a 3-month snapshot that shows how much glucose is in your blood. The typical range you see on the charts the docs give you is 4 to 12, with 12 representing a very high risk of complications. When I was diagnosed 3 years ago, I was at 13.6. Tonight, after finishing my second year off my meds, I'm at 5.5, which is basically normal. I realize this may not be forever, but I'll take it while I can get it!

My brother is a diabetic also and has really struggled with his A1C. Great job on getting it down - that's a hell of an accomplishment!

Way to go! Isn't life the best gift you can give yourself?
As for me, today I'm celebrating that I'm recovering from my eating disorder, my appetite has returned, I no longer look like death, and I'm looking forward to an even better 2011!

Debating: Keep it between 165-170, or try for 180? I've heard I can get up to 180 without difficulty, but then again, I feel comfortable where I am.
