When I clicked on your link for the book, Amazon told me I’d already bought it! Yikes! I need to find that book at home and read like the wind! Enjoyed the post.

I love the caption on Lauren’s ‘after’ photo – Becoming more “athletic”, not “skinny” is part of what helped me run 14:58 for 5k
She definitely looks athletic – her arms look stronger than in the college photo – a photo in which the average person would say she doesn’t look ‘heavy’ as a multiple NCAA winner.

Glad you’re telling folks to be “healthy about this”, as many runners (young girls in particular) see elite runners as being ‘skinny’ or ‘light’, and go about achieving that look in an unhealthy way.

Thanks also for the hip-extension article. Good stuff there.

Great info, here, thanks for sharing. I’m currently trying to drop some weight, too, but I can’t get around the fact that I’m just so hungry all the time! I was so excited to see a fellow paper bag air popper– I first read this in an Alton Brown book- I like to pop mine dry, then spray it w/ my Pampered Chef pumper-thingy (the technical term, fer shur) w/ canola oil… and then a dusting of garlic salt- yummy!

Hmm. 5% of a 20:00 5K is a minute. I would love to knock a minute off my 5K time. (goes off into 19:xx daydream)

paper bag popcorn? genius. and wow to those numbers you talked about in terms of getting faster. 5% doesn’t seem like much but when you look at that 5k time that’s huge! funny that it mentions the overheating aspect too hah
