Shoes are personal... go get fitted for your gait. I don't know how experienced a runner you are (I am assuming you are just starting out since you ask about shoes) but running every day is asking for trouble. You're profile says you're 59.... I don't want to sound mean but we are not not in our 20's anymore and don't…

Sorry pics are huge...

Hi, I'm 5'10"... In the spring of 2011 I decided that I should clean up my eating habits. By November I had lost about 40-45lbs. I was at my lowest weight of 135lbs and I felt a bit too skinny. It took a while for my body to fit my skin again. I don't know how else to explain this! I was always active, running, yoga,…

-You have made a hotel reservation in August 2012 for the Boston marathon in April 2013 to be sure you have a place to stay. Even though you haven't registered for the race yet! -When invited out for dinner on a Saturday night, you're not afraid to ask what's on the menu and do you mind if I leave early to get up at 6am…

Sorry not any help here... but you're not alone. I get this too. Always in the evening before bed! I've looked at my food and can't see any pattern where I've eaten xxx and gotten bloated. So don't know what causes mine either or how to get rid of it. Fortunately it doesn't happen every night for me.

I love my lulu running gear. It's very comfortable and looks good too. I don't understand the fuss about their sizing though. So what if they only go up to a size 12. Thin people don't complain about plus size stores starting at size 14 or whatever size they start at. If you want to buy lulu and it's too small for you,…

I'm running NYC too :smile: So excited. It'll be my 6th marathon, 1st NYC though...

I run on trails and road and also go to spinning class. Also do this about 3 times a week. Fantastic workout whether your going up fast or slow.... Goal this season... beat 40 mins, I'm at 40:49... so close! The Grouse Grind The Grouse Grind® is a 2.9-kilometre trail up the face of Grouse Mountain, commonly referred to as…

search this site, good luck in your race :smile: http://www.marathonguide.com/races/races.cfm

We do Tabatas in Spin class.... love them. I was thinking of trying it running at the track and incorporate Tabatas into my speed work. I downloaded some Tabata music. It tells you when to go and when to rest, also counts out the 8 times you do it. I think the music itself is awful, maybe that's why you go so hard, to get…

Like everyone else said... Welcome to the club, you're a runner and addicted :laugh:

A run is always worth it no matter how short. Here's an article that may help to maximize your time on the road... http://www.runnersworld.com/article/1,7120,s6-238-267--13953-0,00.html Happy running

Love running... 5 fulls done and now training for NYC marathon... so excited about that one. Qualified for Boston this May so hoping to get to run Boston April 2013... Happy training :happy:

LOL This... I'm a PB addict

Among my running friends when we see overweight, runners or beginners, we know how hard you are working. We have all been there. I've been running for years and don't lack the confidence anymore. Visualization helps. See yourself as the runner you would like to be. If it's the long, lean body, good form you like about a…

Me too....

LOL... I'm where the SNOBS are!

It's not a long weekend in Canada! LOL I love those runs when you just plan a short run and you keep going and going... A Forest Gump run I call these kind of runs. Good work :smile:

Same as the previous two posts... good trail shoes are a must. As for actually running the trails, practice, practice, practice.... The more you run, the faster and more confident you become. I was so afraid of falling while running down technical trails, especially downhill. Now I fly down them (well it feels like I fly…

Congratulations. Are you thinking of doing the full next year?

:laugh: Love this...

Thanks for posting. This explains my 3 - 4lb weight gain after I ran a marathon 2 weeks ago. Back to my normal weight now. Good information

During my first half marathon I ran for 10 mins then walked for 1 min. I hated that race. I found the timed run/walk thing too rigid and was stressing me out even though I had trained that way! Second half I did with a different friend, we ran/ walked but only walked through the water stations. We didn't walk through them…

LOL.... in my running group we say "pulling a Paula" not at the side of the road of course.... :laugh: agthorn.... congratulations. I hope you realize that half marathons only lead to the full....

Thanks guys....:bigsmile:

"So are there some people out there who just cannot run, or am I alone in this? " I would say there's no such thing as people that can't run. When you think about it, we run naturally as children. We run to the store, to a friends house, how often were you told by your parents not to run in the house? I think most kids…
