Maybe it was the shared sense of accomplishment and camaraderie they had, though more likely it was the 9th beer of the night that did it, but I began to think, "**** it. Maybe I should try this."

Fast-forward, I'm getting ready to run my first half and starting to look at fulls.

I feel better than I have in 5 years, I've got more energy when I go play pick-up on the weekends and God help me, I actually have started looking forward to my runs.

Sidebar: I used to get ligament pain as my training increased. I switched to Newton shoes about 3 months ago and I love these things. Definitely help me maintain good form.

Good luck! I have been running for 3 years and have run 3 full marathons in the last 10 months. I hope to run my 4th in about 5 weeks but I am fighting a hamstring injury.

I have no idea how you run in Newtons. I couldn't do it.

I lifted for a long time before taking up running and still do both. Its a good combo but you give some things up on your lifting when training for marathons and such. Your body can only deal with so much stress.

Walked all day without any shin pain. Took my shoes off and within minutes of walking, my shins started hurting.

I don't work out anymore, I just try not to get fat.

Newton shoes?

Stiff leg deadlifts - the destroyers of hamstrings (in a good way).

Wait till you try a glute-ham raise. First time I ever did them I was limping around like a zombie.

Simply red, I tried stir fry.

I am a fan

That's what I'm thinking of as straight leg, right? Where, you find that position where your legs are slightly bent, hips back, and you squeeze your abs and your butt as you lift. Your knees should never move?

Today at the Gym I was 100% for the first time in a while - Feels good, I weigh 183 still.

I think I loaded on protein too much today - I had about three shakes - w/ 1.5 scoops - is this okay?

Also, I ate chicken + broccoli + a little yellow rice.

Oh - I rec'd my 5 lbs of Chocolate Mint ON whey today. I say it's equal to that of their Chocolate Malt flavor - mixes well. I found ON mixer bottles on amazon and bought four of them - they were literally about $3/per. (and they're large)

Nothing wrong with getting 100g of protein in shakes. Most efficient way to do it.

Yeah bud.

I have noticed acne pop ups since the protein switch - nothing major - but is there any evidence that whey protein can increase acne? I'm going to research it a little later on when I hit the meth.
