Another great idea...sports drinks help to replace the electrolytes we sweat out...thanks sweetie :flowerforyou:

Great idea, my son told me to use his camel pack! :laugh:

Way to be positive girl...you Can do this...I love your reply

Words that make me see red..."makes me want to punch...babies/puppies" :explode: Weird food combo bagel with cream cheese and tuna I also hats when people say my name Shannon. Just writing it pisses me off...

I too do cross training...currently I bike and do some spin classes...squats...burpees...lunges...etc...right now I am trying to strengthen my hip adductors and abductors to fight off hip fatigue... What do you do for cross training?

Awesome...well at least you know what to expect...lol. That is a plus. Blessings and Godspeed!

Oops double post...lol

Proudly 41 and Fabulous...

I'm old-er 2010,,, but I still kick @$$ and take names, after all I am ♥xenawarriorprincess♥...lol

My waist and the fact that I'm a runner training for a half-marathon in September 2012...sorry that is more than one thing.

I agree we (MFP) people should be encouraging each other, not making fun of new people...and I would advise you to continue asking questions...and ignore the rude immature people who laugh and make fun. Blessings sweetie.

You did it once and you can do it again...good luck on your training and your race, blessings.

:laugh: Mine is The Rogue Run Sept. 23rd 2012, Medford Oregon...it will be my first half. So very excited. :wink:

I have been realizing this for the last few months...I need to eat less not run more...lol. I run most days and then figure I can eat more...silly me, I need to stop this insanity. I'm new to this group by the way...and just finished week one of my half-marathon training. My marathon is September 23rd...so excited! Feel…

I am doing the c25k program for my 11 year old daughter....make sure she is hydrated before the run...not really necessary during since its only 30 minutes...but then hydrate after as well...did she eat right before you ran? That can cause cramping. Start her out with a good warm up before any running, that may help. Good…

I suggest you start rolling it out with a foam rollar although I use my rolling pin and its works wonders...learn the stretches (youtube) and do them every day...also strengthen your hip flexor muscles that will help tremendously...I have that same problem and I am still running after taking a couple days to rest and roll…

Praying sweetie...while you wait, walk the halls, or read...chew gum...you can do this! Blessings!!!

First of all, you can run just do it slowly at first and for short distances...unless you have an injury, and in that case rest...I agree with googling c25k and starting there...second of all I started 8 months ago and could barely run for a minute, now I can run for over an hour and I'm training for my first half-marathon…

No...think for yourself, if it feels good for your body keep running...always have good form...good shoes...runners world dot com is a great place to go for info on running....now go out and run like the wind bullseye...

Thanks I so needed to hear this...

I'm newly 41...and Fabulous add me if you'd like sweetie...age is just a number after all...it's all about how young or old you feel...blessings

Massage and ice for shin splints...it really does help....good luck...I am recovering from an injury to my iliotibial band so I understand the pain part...I have only been running for eight months but I cant stand not being able to run even for a day or two...blessings and good luck with the hills and trail…

If it sounds too good to be true...it probably is...it sounds like its some sort of fiber powder or some such wacky thing...lol...u can do anything u set ur mind to...losing weight the old fashioned way is more rewarding, I speak from experience...gimmicks are just no good for u or ur body...glad u decided against…

Just took my 1st spinning class and LOVE it...I am used to riding so I'm not too sore...but I have to say its a great workout and something different than running, which is what I need...crosstraining helps me to be a better runner...good for u for going for it...

:flowerforyou: Yes I did at first...but with determination you can do a lot more than you think...sweating is no fun, but it's how you get it done. I always try to remember that I run and exercise not only for my sanity and health but to show my kids and husband a good example...I run to keep cancer away for as long as…

:flowerforyou: Awesome girlie...I know from experience that feels wonderful...so happy for you...:flowerforyou:

I lost most of my weight at home with walking, and running...then I got a gym membership and have become much more fit as a result...it really depends on if you will use your membership or not...I go almost every day and try to run most days as well....I went from being a walker to a fitness nut....I say do what you think…
