Fewer calories and less fat, but also because it makes it so quick to prepare – just measure out 1/2 cup (= to 2 eggs) from the carton and start cooking.</p>
<p>busyparent – there is NO way I could eat a cold omelet! :)</p>
<p>I am definitely not a foodie :)</p>
<p>Tough run on the dreadmill. I think it was just too hot in the gym- especially after all these runs in the 20s and low 30s. I still don’t feel quite right- and I’ve been done for over an hour! 4 1/2 miles with some intervals. </p>
<p>Today is day 800 of the streak, though, so there is that!</p>
<p>That is some kind of streak, MOWC. Heck, at my age, I’m just happy to wake up 800 days in a row! :)</p>
<hr>
<p>Rest day workout in the basement for me. Did my favorite little KB circuit. 35 lb KB. </p>
<p>On the left side:
6 suitcase deadlifts
6 cleans
6 squats
6 push presses</p>
<p>Then, repeat on the right side for one set. Rest 2 minutes and go again. I did four sets.</p>
<p>I “cheated”, pausing long enough for three to five deep breaths between exercises, but I did all four sets without putting the KB down. These are 3 to 3.5 minute sets, so there’s a definite cardio component. I saw heart rates of 88% of my max on the last two sets. </p>
<p>All in all, i’m a lot stronger on this circuit than I was when I started. At least I can do the push presses at the end. Those were real “iffy” when I first tried this circuit.</p>

<p>Salmon in green thai curry with brocolli, red peppers, and snow peas for dinner… Yum.</p>

<p>This makes me think of CJane. 
Nice number that 800 (day streak thus far), MOWC.</p>
<p>My original running mileage goal for the year was 350. I then made that my base goal and added 400-450 as a bump up goal range and 500 as a high goal. As it became apparent I was likely to hit 500 I put my next goal at 550. Went over that today. I have another goal which would have meaning for me and am considering adding a stretch goal – not impossible but, as named, would be more of a stretch for me. Yeah, I like numbers…</p>
<p>Way to bust the goals, Deborah! Where is CJane?</p>
<p>800 days ! Well done.
Can you all recommend a treadmill for purchase? Don’t want the cheapest but don’t need the best either. I would want one that can be inclined and that is about it.</p>
<p>Last I heard, CJANE was relaxing on a sail boat somewhere in the South Pacific.</p>
<p>Busyparent- I wish I could. It’s a subject of constant debate on the running forums. If you don’t spend a fair amount, you get something that is rough with too small of a bed and you hate it. People tend to toss around Precor, Lifefitness and Startac (?) as good brands. I would google it and read reviews. A used club grade treadmill is often a good option.</p>
<p>Treadmilldoctor.com is a great resource that has many reviews in one place, sorted by price range. They have “best buys” in each price range as well:</p>

<p>Treadmill for me after a late day at work. 6 miles @ 7:30. My goal is an hour of running 4 days a week by the end of the year. Pace is less important than time spent running based on my training plan. May start using Sunday for a long slow easy of 1.5 hours starting in 2014</p>
<p>Busyparent, we owned a previous version of this model and (fingers crossed!) have been very happy wiht it:</p>

<p>Sturdy, gym quality, no stupid bells and whistles and does not stop after 60 minutes like some models. I just ran 4 miles on it. </p>
<p>No matter what model of treadmill you get, do not put it directly on a carpeted surface or the carpet fiber dust will clog the motor.</p>
<p>MOfWC, huge congrats on your streak!</p>
<p>I think I’d choose South Pacific sun over the chilly weather we’ve been having here the past few days, for sure. ;)</p>
<p>In case anyone is thinking of buying a treadmill instead of a car, the control feature for increasing and decreasing speed on this commercial grade treadmill is really nice.

<p>Woohoo to day 800 MomWC. I’d have been resting on my laurels about 700 days ago :)</p>
<p>Idad, Santa sure wouldn’t LOOK the same if he got one of THOSE :)</p>
<p>I made out like a bandit this year in terms of second-hand treadmill and airdyne. The airdyne only ad a few miles on it as the old guy I’d bought it from had been ordered to get it by his doc for rehab and the treadmill had been inherited by a guy ho had no use for it and didn’t appreciate its true value. Mind you, I don’t know that I’d know a good treadmill from a bad one since I only use it for walking, or “wogging.” Mine’s an iFit and has incline and interval patterns. Seems sturdy and smooth enough.</p>
<p>^proform is the name of mine. Here’s a link…but again, I don’t know what runners are looking for. I just know I like this one as well as anything at the gym

<p>Chuckling at Deborah’s comments…“in case anyone is thinking of buying a treadmill instead of a car”… :)</p>
<p>This is getting tough. It is SO cold (for here). This morning was my only option today. Work is insane. I did 2.1 miles - 20 degrees. I still don’t feel “right” since last night’s workout. Not sure what is going on. It was a clear and pretty morning- just cold as S&&T. No improvement in sight, either.</p>
<p>I hope you will get checked out MOWC if you continue to feel “not right” much longer. Can you not put a finger on what’s “not right”???</p>
<p>The bitter cold seems like it just charged in, landed and doesn’t want to go anywhere for many parts of the country. </p>
<p>Please be careful and wise.</p>
