Happy Monday DW Runners!

How was your week? Any race reports?

Tri training is still in full swing around here and temve made a lovely post hereat tri_me about how our apartment has changed in character since the crazy-training has ramped up.

So what's changed about your lifestyle since you became a runner?

Have fun, stay hydrated, and run happy!

New to this community, so I hope it's okay to check in here anyway!

I'm just getting back into running after a two-year hiatus due to health issues, so I'm definitely seeing some big lifestyle changes right now. I've actually been using running to sort of trick my body back into a healthier lifestyle: I have to eat enough food--and enough healthy food--to be the best runner I can, I have to get semi-normal sleep, I have to get out of the house and move around even on my days off running, etc. It's too early to make any big pronouncements, but I definitely do have more energy, my overall mood is better, and I'm a little more into food. :)

Anyway, my last run was a little over three miles, and I'm planning to keep ramping up over the coming weeks.

Welcome!

(apologies for being so late with the welcoming comment - this week work crushed me and i was without internet all weekend)

Anyway - please check in, make posts, join us in any way that works for you :-) We love new folks around here - it's hard getting new-ish running comms going.

And yes, food is good! When I was marathon training - I was failing miserably to get enough good calories into me and it took me forever to figure that out. Now, I'm a bit more obsessive and don't leave for long runs or rides without a few powerbars and money for lunch if it's a bike ride..

Yes, please feel free to comment and post - the comm isn't old or active enough that we're super tight-knit or anything :o)
