:smile: Feta cheese. Now you're making me hungry for salad!

High Five! Er, as soon as you stand up. :wink:

Dayum! What an inspiration. Congratulations on your success.

My running club was offering free Nuun tablets samples. I think I will give it a try. Thanks again for everyone's help and suggestions. As usual, the MFP "support group" always makes me feel better. I typically run 10 minute/mile when I run over 3 miles. If I only have time for a 3 mile run, I do 9 minute/mile.

I like the suggestion of electrolytes. I will try that. Thank you everyone for your help. I will try not to beat myself up, but, I can't help but think I was doing something wrong. Thanks again! :smile:

I ran during our triple digit heat wave over the Summer, BUT started at 5:30 A.M, so I "beat" the heat so to speak. Now, I can't get out that early. I had a banana before going out (I prefer to eat afterwards), and plenty of sleep. Training is the same. I don't bring water since I consider these "short" runs. Should I…

My ulitmate goal is a half marathon (not sure about the full yet). And, to get a better time in the Warrior Dash. :smile:

Ditto

I've done that in the past and, I have to admit, it's never worked out to my advantage. LOL.

Bump. Thank You!

What your friend's friend did is inexcusable. That's probably how she got pregnant in the first place! Any RESPONSIBLE mother would leave their child with a sitter and plan on having "adult" time OR bring their child with and not consume alcohol to the point that they are displaying poor judgement. My kids are teenagers…

West Chicago. As in the town, not the City. LOL. Who is doing the Warrior Dash in Channahon next month? I am! :smile:

I just read your story and follow up and big CONGRATULATIONS to you!

Stay way from ding dongs. Especially milk-enhanced ones.

You are absolutely beautiful.

LOVE LOVE LOVE c25k program. I "graduated" last November and have since been in six 5Ks with my seventh this coming Saturday. I run 3 to 4 times a week (outside) and joined a speed training group a few weeks ago. The nice thing about running is it is inexpensive (after you buy your shoes), can be done almost anywhere…

Congratulations! Your story is an inspiration. Thank you for sharing. So, when is the full marathon? LOL.

LOL! DITTO!

I got the "itch" to run, too. Have no idea where it came from. Had it for years and decided to act on it. I started c25k last September. I was really scared to even start because I was so afraid of failing. Therefore, I went really SLOW when I ran. It wasn't hard at all. I found a pace that was comfortable (and challenging…

I have most of the symptoms you described, so I went to my Dr. He ran a battery of tests and everything came back in the normal range except for Vitamin D was extremely low. I took prescription D for a couple of months and felt no change whatsoever. I went back to him and told him so. He figures I am depressed and wanted…

Congrats! I'm doing the Chicago one this year. My first one. :smile:

Congratulations! I am a c25k graduate and I can not say enough about what a great program it is. You're doing great -- keep it up and enjoy. :smile:

If it's more than 40 degrees out, I get too warm. For me, 30s and 40s are IDEAL temps to run. I have never had problems breathing in the cold, but I have lived in the Midwest almost 40 years. Maybe it's not the temperature giving you pains? Just a thought.

Love it! Especially #10!

Riding my horse. :)

Once I lost 10 pounds in 10 minutes. Another time, I lost 9 1/2 pounds in 1 1/2 hours. The only "trick" involved is you need to give birth!

How cynical does one have to be to burn calories?

Boobs.

Amazing! Congratulations!

I always wanted to run, too. I completed the c25k last November and have since run in five 5Ks with my 6th one in two weeks. I never ever imagined I would be able to call myself a runner, but I do! I came home from work today and ran over 5 miles to "relax". It's amazing how addicting and fulfilling running can be. If you…
