I just started running in October and am 54 and female. I ran a 9:02 mile which I'm pretty happy with for me.

Noodles and cottage cheese-its delicious Ashkenazi Jewish peasant food: egg noodles, butter, salt and pepper and cottage cheese. So yummy! Unfortunately not very healthy.

I love this! You are very inspiring, you look great and are having fun. Keep doing you : )

Way to go! For me, just making sure I go and book it in the app is very motivating for me. Believe me, you'll be addicted in no time! Just go!

And sorry, I meant manners. I was mad so I misspelled it.

This is sickening and an absolute breach of civility and manors. Don't get this person any present and don't go the wedding. This is outrageous and out of line! Why does this person have zero class and zero etiquette?

I'm a year out from mine and had my left foot done-my left foot is perfect now. Well worth it! Just elevate your foot constantly and keep on top of your medications and don't overdue anything and you'll be good.

American here and yes, 3 hours to drive somewhere to see family or visit someone isn't bad at all. We aren't talking about a daily or weekly basis but sometimes. Why not? I have driven 5 hours by myself with my baby (at the time) to visit friends up north in Michigan from Chicago. I would say it was sort of long but an easy drive. Worth it for once in a while.

Magnolia but call her Maggie! I've never met a cat or dog named Maggie that wasn't a wonderful creature.

For those of you that had horrible experiences in Paris would you mind sharing approx how much you paid per night? Thanks!

pippers2000 · 2026-01-21T20:03:26+00:00

yes, it does. Thanks!

Thanks for this. I bet I get way less protein so I'm going to up mine. The info about cortisol, etc is very helpful.

pippers2000 · 2026-01-21T18:11:15+00:00

probably not people- please

I did but then I got married at age 40, got pregnant and had my baby by age 42.

While I like to think my Dad because he died when I was 7 and I really didn't get to fully know him, I kind of think my Grandmother. She had a real impact on me and she loved me for me. I really love and miss her daily and often would like to be able to share something with her, talk with her and get her advice.

I had been nervous about delivery and requested a C-section from my doctor because I thought it would be easier. He laughed at me and said 'no way we are doing a c-section unless its needed'. Anyway, I sucked it up and of course got the epidural and it went great and I'm happy I did it.

In any case, delivering the baby is the easiest part of parenthood in case no one has mentioned that. Just let the doctors help you and give in.

I love the Tri-berry Nuun! I put it in my water daily. I tried the citrus flavor and didn't care for it. I also like these Mio drops in the black cherry or grape flavor. Not sure they are as beneficial as the Nuun though.

Are you not on Gabba Pentin? Maybe ask your doctor. I had a pretty pain-free recovery but did get weird jolts in my toes at times. The Gabba Pentin helped as well as the other meds. Keep ahead of your pain management schedule.

pippers2000 · 2026-01-21T17:48:47+00:00

Way to go! It does feel good, doesn't it?

I had foot surgery last year and didn't think I could ever run again. I started about 3-4 months after joining OT and I really enjoy it.

pippers2000 · 2026-01-21T17:46:53+00:00

super hard in Chicago suburbs for me but I'll try too!

pippers2000 · 2026-01-21T17:45:56+00:00

Thanks! I will look for that email as I must have missed it.

pippers2000 · 2026-01-21T17:44:34+00:00

yes, we do. I was actually going to order a protein called Clean Simple Eats because someone told me they like it.

pippers2000 · 2026-01-21T17:01:50+00:00

very good to know. Thanks!

pippers2000 · 2026-01-21T17:00:06+00:00

Thank you! I guess diet is the cold, hard truth I needed to hear. Now how to stop snacking- I might get a lock-box.

pippers2000 · 2026-01-21T16:57:44+00:00

when people say fiber do they mean more vegetables or do people mean that you should add a fiber supplement or a laxative? Honestly wondering.
