Sarny, how many carbs are you eating in a day and what specifically is your menu like? I will try and give you my thoughts if you could post.

As for me, Thursday, 7/23: 6.3 mile run.

No plans to tell you the truth -- I have never thought about it -- but given my current load of five kids and oldest being 12 and youngest 1 1/2 years old, I feel I dont have the time. Im happy just doing it on my treadmill for now.

Maybe in the future ......... who knows?

Races are a good way to increase your speed/stamina. And they're fun!

Sunday, 7/26: 5.2 miles in the rain.

Monday, 7/27: Had planned on a long run today, but it was cut short due to lightning ... (hey I love to run, but I wasn't ready to die today...) so all I did was 5.2 miles.

hi everyone
well i am really struggling with my running and stamina to the point i have none, i went out yesterday and got to 4 miles and hit a massive brick wall, feel completely drained, i dont know if you guys are getting the news about swine flu where you are but my hubby was diagnosed today with it, fingers crossed my sons dont get it, i think i might have a weaker strain of it because of the way i am feeling,
