I think I overdid it.

I’ve been experiencing many overtaining symptoms, but I think it’s more because my iron has been low than overtraining.

I’m not a morning person or a night owl, I want to go to bed early and sleep in.

I can only handle about 10 races a year, I’m not someone who can do a ton.

I’m definitely a morning person. I have to be at work at 5:15, so it’s a good thing I am!

Definitely a morning person, and I am not sure about green smoothies but those green machine naked drinks are pretty good.

I think I’m more tired than usual right now. Just might be a side effect of training for an Ironman….

I’m not a huge smoothie person. I like them as a treat, but not as my meal. I have to be able to chew my food, otherwise I feel still hungry! But anyways, I agree with you, fruit or sweet smoothies only!!

I’m more of a morning person definitely, usually in bed by 10pm. So sad!

I don’t run too many races, mostly cause they’re so stinking expensive. I probably run 6-8 races a year, of varying lengths. I wish I could travel to more races, but that’s even more crazy expensive!!

I saw that chair at costco the other day, too cute!

Is scraping the same things as The Gastron technique?

If so, I had that done last year on my IT band and it worked wonders!!! I am glad it helped you! Take care of yourself, girl- I’m happy that you are listening to your body and not trying to overdo it. :)

Unfortunately I took the pile on the miles challenge too quickly and ended up with ITBS. I’m trying to actively recover from it, but right now it’s hard to run more than a mile without stopping to walk. I love my green smoothies! I look forward to them after a long run or workout. You can’t taste the spinach really. I love banana, spinach, almond milk, cinnamon, and chia seed smoothies.

yeeees love me some green smoothies now! my husband and i are on a 6 month tour throughout north america so getting veggies in has been harder! i only like the green smoothies if they are sweet though!

no overtraining over here with all this travel…keep taking those naps :) i love staying up late but never love the feeling in the morning. not so much of a morning person but i can be good if i sleep until 8am!

Morning person for sure.
And this year, I participated in about two races per month (mostly half marathons). BUT I did not race all of them… I volunteered as a pacer for many of them.

Ugh. The sun is definitely not up at 5 a.m. when my children wake up. I used to be a morning person, but man alive, a nursling that doesn’t let you get more than six hours TOTAL (1-2 hours at a time) means I’m just kind of always not-really-awake-but-definitely-not-sleeping.

Green smoothies are okay, but only with spinach. I tried to do kale, and felt lied to. That stuff is bitter.

I am a morning person all the way. I have zero signs of overtraining and a million signs of over training. I have fallen off the running bandwagon but plan on hoping back on next week to start my half training!

I LOVE green smoothies! My favorite is spinach, peanut butter and vanilla whey.

Brooke’s front tooth..adorable!
Morning person..especially since I have twin alarm clocks ;)

I’ve been guilty of over working out at times. I’ve gotten really bad stress fractures and was forced to wear a boot for two months. So now I try to back off before it gets to that point

I definitely hit an overtraining period at the end of this summer which is resulting a bit of hip bursitis that in turn altered my gait and threw my patella out of alignment. So I’m on super cut mileage right now and a lot of PT.

I did three triathlons and five road races in a three month span this summer and that was a pretty solid cap for me. I had some serious post race crash after my last tri. But all things considered I’m already planning an even more intense (but more spread out) race schedule for next year and focusing more on my triathlons than overloading my weekends with short 5k’s and 10k’s.

I don’t -hate- green smoothies, but I don’t exactly go out of my way to make them either. I’m like you — eat my greens and keep my smoothies a lovely shade of pink, yellow, cream, blue, or brown (chocolate). And I’m definitely a morning person… I’ve naturally been waking up at around 4:30 or 5 for so long now, that I can’t even remember the last time I used an alarm clock. The only downside is being completely beat when 9:30 rolls around ;)

I don’t do smoothies, but will do a blizzard. I prefer to chew my food.

Depending on the race distance/effort it takes me up to 2 weeks to get the “lead” out, and because I work full time on my feet and have 2 small children I learned to roll with it. I usually only do about 5-7 races a year.

Definitely a morning person. I usually start work at 4am (sometimes earlier) 5 days a week so being a night person is not an option!

I have been adding frozen spinach and frozen kale to my smoothies. I don’t taste it and I know I’m getting some nutrients into my diet early in the day. I am definitely a morning person!

I loooove green smoothies!! Banana, spinach, vanilla greek yogurt, unsweetened almond milk, and a little vanilla extract. SO good! :) Also really good with strawberries! And I am SUCH a night owl, it’s bad. I wish I was a morning person. I’m trying to train myself to be one, because I love getting stuff done in the morning and it makes you feel so productive the rest of the day!

xo

I’m a green smoothie person. I tend to make one for breakfast since I don’t always feel in the mood to eat, but am always in the mood for a drink.

I’m definitely a morning person, but I’m a night owl, too. My perfect day would include getting up early, taking a nice afternoon nap, and then staying up late at night! :-)

I used to run four marathons a year and hardly any other races; but these days I run several 5K’s, a ten miler and a couple of half-marathons per year.

I did 3 races this past year and they were PLENTY. I was aiming to PR in them, not just run for fun. This year I only have one marathon planned but would like to get out and do some more trail races for fun. Trail is a lot more gentle on my body. Rest up! Us runners looooooooooooove to over train!

Morning person hands down.

And my back has been killing me for months in one spot.
Perhaps I should stop ignoring that. :)

Not a green smoothie fan at all! Looks weird :).
I am kinda a morning and night person….I guess more night though. I am like a 11-6:30 or 7 person :). It’s kinda an in the middle…not super early or late.
I can over train…I thought for sure 2 marathons in 2 weeks would do it to me…but I seem to be doing okay so far! I plan on taking it easy for the next month though before I train for anything. Before this season I would only ever do 2 marathons a year. I will throw in a 5k or 10k every now and then but only maybe a couple. Last spring I cut out the marathon and did a half instead. The only distance that really worries me is the full, I seem to have no real trouble with other distances. I know to take it easy after a race and usually take a few extra days off or SUPER easy after.

I love green smoothies. I don’t have them very often lately, but I do have regular smoothies and I add vanilla protein powder and a scoop of egg protein powder.

I have tried and tried to be a morning person. I can get up and go to work early if needs be but to get up and run or do something like that…nope..not going to happen. I work too weird of hours for my body to buy that. I love Utah winters because I can run at 2pm! My fav!
