Not knockin' other people's choices, just sayin'...<br /><br />I'd say I'm really "running" around 35-40 miles/week, long run of 12-14+. But this is SUPER individual, and I call anyone who goes out running (pretty much any distance) regularly (~3 times/week) a runner. I cannot beat this into my clients' heads hard enough. Seriously.<br /><br />I agree that the blogging world is very female-centric (I think that extends far beyond running blogs. I suspect this is because women tend to be (<---super generalizing here) more verbose. For example, it could take me 5 minutes to tell our "engagement story" - but my husband does it in 5 words: "I asked. She said yes." See? :)<br /><br />But I really enjoy a diversity of voices, so definitely appreciate yours. Keep it up, and good luck with that 10 miler!!

It's snowing as we speak and my friend dropped me home driving at 30km/h!!!<br /><br />I love having guys on the blogosphere! It's amazing to get their view on different topics and issues. The world wouldn't be the same without guys, plus they can actually do 100 push ups a day for a whole month. Wow! As always I'm impressed by your push up ability :PNadiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967913155137076812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552294020826574439.post-37416635748347797552013-02-16T15:37:19.326-08:002013-02-16T15:37:19.326-08:00It sounds like you had a great Valentine's Day...It sounds like you had a great Valentine's Day! I'm jealous that you got to be with kindergarteners for Valentine's Day! It's so cute when all of the kids exchange Valentines and puts a really great perspective on the holiday.<br /><br />That was so sweet of your Valentine to get you a running related gift, especially the Injinji toe socks! It's way too cold right now to be running in Vibrams without them.<br /><br />Also, I love reading your blog. I agree that there aren't as many male bloggers, but it's a great community and fun to hear about people's experiences that have similar goals and perspectives while training. Keep up the great work/blogging!Sporadic Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679473979206704859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552294020826574439.post-13287023097546154512013-02-16T09:25:31.148-08:002013-02-16T09:25:31.148-08:00So awesome that you have been having wonderful run...So awesome that you have been having wonderful runs lately! That always keeps you motivated to get out there again the next day. Also, love that you are doing med ball pushups! Those are tough, but really make you stabilize your core and keep the weight over your hands.<br /><br />I started following you on twitter (@KristenL_DYL) -- I'm pretty bad at it, but hoping to improve. Nice to have another friend to follow. By the way, I think its awesome to have your prospective. There are definitely male bloggers out there, but not as many. We deal with a lot of the same stuff though, so keep it up.<br /><br />Good luck on your 10-miler this weekend!

And hill repeats, nicely done. I've been having a whey protein smoothie everyday for the past two years. I always have spinach, frozen banana (frozen makes all the difference! soooo good) almond butter or coconut and almond milk in them. I change up the flavor whey every now and again, and I just started adding maca. I'm also switching up banana for frozen cherries as a way to lower my sugar intake for a bit (trying to get to *racing weight*). I love having a green in my breakfast, and you can't even taste the spinach!<br /><br />I LOVE chilly but sunny days for running. Once the temps get above 65, I'm way too warm, but on the cold days, I'm all about sunshine :)greengirlrunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250524017216714773noreply@blogger.com
