[quote=Anonymous]I love this thread!

I work out daily, a typical week includes three runs with the double BOB (5-6 miles, about 9' pace), two 60 minute yoga sessions (one at home, one at Down Dog, so hot power), two days of 20' elliptical and 30' HIIT at home, and one "easy" day of just 45'on the elliptical.  I've been running for 24 years (am 37), and rowed competitively in college, so have done years of doubles, power lifting, etc.

I make sure to eat lots of lean protein, veggies, and minimize my sugar.  Not many processed foods.  I have a weakness for red wine and chocolate, so have a bit of both each day.  I've found that if I go too low on the starchy carbs (whole grain bread, pasta, etc.) my running suffers, but I don't over do it, either.  I like to eat healthy because it keeps my energy up, but I'm also not going to deprive myself, either.  I eat out typically one meal/week (usually Saturday dinner), otherwise cook and eat leftovers at work.

I naturally have fairly high muscle mass and put on muscle like crazy when I lift.  I feel best when I run and do yoga--keeps me lean and strong, especially now running with the double jogger.  I also try to walk as much as possible, which I think helps, too.[/quote]
