MALYNDA-wow, how in the worls do u run 10miles?? thats great, good for you.
ALEVIN-hi, whats a "memela"?
Running is a funny thing... it's only hard in the beginning. I never thought I could run a full mile. So I did it one day.... thought I was going to pass out after & during! LOL! I was embarassed, felt like a heifer running/tromping along. Then I did that like 4-5 times (running like once per week). Then one day I decided to run for as long as I could one day along this path called Crystal Springs. It's a 12 mile pathed course with hills, twists, turns, trees, strong sun, etc. I ran for about 1/2 mi at a time. I got through the whole thing in 2.5 hours... got lotsa blisters and ruined my legs for a full week (so sore). But that opened the flood gates. The next time I ran to my bf's house (10 miles roundtrip). Ran about 3.5 mi the way there, walking/running/sprinting. Ran the whole way back. Ever since then I just run... run run run. lol. I run slow. I probably can go for a long time at 5.5 mph. My main problem now is increasing speed.... I just can't do it unless I'm on a treadmill... my legs just don't go faster :(. But I still only run once per week (Saturdays). Maybe that's why? lol
MALYNDA-thats great! its freezing where i am so the only option is the treadmill and i have no balance! i always swerve so i just walk on it, i do an incline but its still just walking. i think its the amount of time that your heartrate is elevated that matters, then i suppose speed comes later but i think its the time that matters more, i dunno, im not a fitness expert at all.
i never ever thought to hae any of the foods some of you eat, like potato for bfast and a lot i never even heard of, interesting...

agru, memelas are a dish from oaxaca, mexico. memelas consist of a cornmeal cake topped with cabbage, queso fresco, and eggs, beans or meat, with mole and salsa. There is a oaxacan food stall at a farmers market that I go to - they also have a restaurant. Their food is prepared healthy and tastes very yummy.
This is their site. You can buy mole and mexican chocolate from them online.
