The group has a few randoms. Rob gives me the most consistent kudos though so he's fine by me.

RMers of Strava. I vow to get back in the stats soon. Not much, but you'll see me there. Kudos.

You got me by 1.1 miles. Dang. Add us together and we still trail Rob.

Rob is a beast. Mina followed me recently, I must have finally won her respect.

My feet are killing me lately. I know I need some new shoes but any of you runners use arch supports? I've tried shoes with gel soles; they work okay until the gel is worn down and imprinted with your foot and then become very uncomfortable.

FWIW I've had better luck with supportive/stability shoes like Brooks Adrenaline (with built-in support) than I have with arch supports. I wear arch supports in my regular shoes, but when I ran with them they tended to create other issues.

Need motivation to run again. Also, need upper body workouts that I can do around the house. I shed all this weight and lowered my heart rate for the wedding and want to keep it up but it's the dang holidays now. The bike ain't cutting it.

I have a very basic at-home bodyweight routine that I follow: 50 push-ups, 50 crunches, and 5 minutes of various planks and stretches before bed every night. Takes about 10 minutes total, usually while watching TV. I also keep a resistance band in the bathroom and do a couple dozen curls and flies before I shower. It's not gonna get me ripped or anything but my core feels pretty solid.

Weren't you doing couch to 5K at one point? Maybe sign up for a race and try that again?

Signing up for a race is a great idea. Several coming up in January and February. Not sure I need to regress to couch to 5k routine. I remember the first couple of weeks being very, very slow. I do need that structure again, though.

Do you use weights at all? I'm thinking of investing in those little 3 and 5 pounders you saw in everyone's living room in the 80's.

I don't do anything with weights. I just have a mental block or something when it comes to any kind of weightlifting. I don't even like walking through that area of the gym. :haha: I've thought about getting one of those "power tower" things for the garage or basement so I can do pullups, dips, etc.
