Yesterday Report: -Had a good run in the morning (8 miles easy) -Did arms and legs strength stuff in the PM -Ate pretty good yesterday, no treats at work, but I did have some smoked salmon that someone brought in. Does that count as a good or bad thing? Getting a run in today and this weekend will be a bit tougher. I don't have my car today which means I have to leave when my husband wants to leave work. So I think I'll go run at lunch. It just takes so much time and I have to shower so that takes more time.

Hey! I just joined this challenge thing as a scout. I'm primarily a runner, but am looking to do more than just run. As for the team names, I like Team Crazy Legs and Runnin' Rebels both!

I know the danger of Christmas cookies too well. As for the Pose thing, you can get a book and do it on your own or you can go to a class. There are probably a ton of free resources online as well since it is a pretty popular method. Personally, I'd start with the book and go from there. As far as shin splints go, you can try running on dirt / grass to start out with. The softer surface should be easier on your body and help keep the shin splints away.

Good job on the tracking! I've never been very good at tracking my food. I have a similar problem about not eating enough veggies during that day. I started doing big salads for lunch. And I mean a big huge salad. And that seems to be working for me. I get all of my veggie servings in at once and then don't worry about it. But, that's just what seems to be working for me. It's all about finding something that works for you.

Thanks! The treats thing was the reason I really signed up for this thing. Yesterday, I ate cookies in the break room, then I decided I didn't want to do it anymore and signed up for this later that day. So, I'm not counting the treats from work yesterday since it was before I started my challenge! Report of Dec 28 (Half day since didn't sign up until the afternoon) -Had a good run at the track yesterday (I could have wimped out because it was raining, but I didn't and it turned into a really good run) -Planning on doing weights today -No treats at work starts today!

Hi, this is my first time posting on these boards, but this challenge seemed like it would be just the thing to kick myself back into gear. I think I've been in a Christmas Treats / Post-Marathon Funk for a while and I need to get back on track. Mostly for my own happiness and well-being. Race: Human Class: Scout Fitness / Health Goals -Strength Train 2-3x a week -Do other activities that seem fun that I want to do 2x a week. (like spinning class, yoga, swimming) -Run Consistently while still enjoying running and do not get competitive with it -Do not eat random treats laying around work. Personal Goals -Go camping and/or hiking with my husband.
