I seriously need someone running next to me that can scream this in my ear. Or I need this cool shirt:If anyone has one laying around (I can now wear an xl comfortably), Ill gladly take it off your hands.
Seriously!
Todays run is definitely ranked up there with the hardest so far. It seems the middle run is always a push for me. The first run of the week has enough sleep and excitement (with some curiosity) built in that I can almost always get through it without much difficult...

This came straight out of Clean Eating magazine. This recipe alone is enough to make me want to subscribe!This is a quick and easy recipe. Its a little expensive if you dont have the spices. Luckily I live with an executive chef so no lacking in this department. I made a double batch on Saturday and it was gone by Monday.
Total prep time is about 30 minutes (longer if you make double batch!)

1 lb top-round buffalo steak or lean beef stew meat...

* Week 3 = 254.6 (-.4...

c25k Week ThreeIs complete but not without its frustrations. Ive been pretty strict about my running days (Sun, Tues, Thurs) since starting this program a month ago (holy hell a month already!!!!). This week was the first week I had a schedule snafu (totally my fault) and it really threw me for a loop. I accidentally scheduled myself for a dental appointment this morning at the buttcrack time of 8:00am. This put me in a bind. In order to get the run and dentist accomplished I would...

Here are some muscles Ive recently discovered on my body:The first being the Rectus Femoris (thigh muscle). I noticed it yesterday while I was walking my dogs. I put my hands on upper portion of my thigh and BAM there is was working away. The second muscle is the Latissimus Dorsi (back muscles). This happy little discovery was this morning while I was doing the 3 minute walking portion of the c25k (week three day two). I put my hands on my upper back and lo and behold there were my two ...
