Dave suggested Trail Toes to me when I was asking about chafing--perhaps that would help you.

Aren't you supposed to be studying?

See a doctor. If you get lightheaded when your heart rate is high this could potentially be serious even though nothing bad has happened yet. (Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy?)

I am in the middle of season 2 of Breaking Bad (too hot and humid for me to run outside). But do what you enjoy--if you don't like steady state cardio then don't do it. You won't keep it up. The best exercise that you can do is one that you WILL do and have fun doing it.

Just wait until they start their residency--Oh Wait, they changed the rules for hours. What is the max now?100 per week and no more than a 24 hour shift? Before there were working hours limits the only thing the residents had time to do when they weren't working was sleep and maybe get food. They didn't have time to…

Do you still go to her? You should see her again after your ultra this weekend!!!

You can always do a residency. I went to school with someone who was deaf and he did an internal medicine residency--got one of those fancy expensive stethoscopes that only he can understand. You may not be able to do surgery but I bet you could do psychiatry. Not all residencies require a healthy body. Hell, you may be…

I had a great experience with a personal trainer at the YMCA. Told her my goals (get stronger, stop my knee pain, let me run without getting knee pain) and she worked on that. Before I started with her I had knee pain for 2 days after my 1.3 mile runs. After her (12 sessions in about 4 months), I was able to run without…

If you are gaining weight then you may not be burning as many calories as you think--these calorie burn estimators are just that--estimators. You may have become efficient, like an electric car :wink:

This makes my head hurt. Bioidentical hormones are not hormones? WTH?

"Hurt like heck going in" <---THIS is the reason why it isn't recommended for women who have not had a child. It is not a contraindication, it is because it hurts like hell! Those of us who have had kids have already had the hurt like hell part, so the insertion isn't as bad.

Do what you enjoy. But give outside running a try--you may enjoy it!

I haven't had one in ages-they typically plague me when I am running uncomfortably fast, long, or if I ate or drank too much before I run. I had them a lot when I first started running. Perhaps they resolve as one's conditioning improves? How long have you been running and are you in good shape or is this new for you?

I think you know the answer.

You are not too heavy to run. However the rate of increase from walking to running may be too fast for your body to adjust. Slow down, repeat the weeks, don't increase the minutes running as quickly as the program wants you too. Do your stretching. Most injuries in new runners are "too much" " too fast". Which seems…

If you have healthy kidneys, no drinking water does not have a cumulative effect. However, your kidneys can handle only so much excessive water compared to salt intake, eventually too much water intake without a corresponding salt intake (or excessive salt loss) can cause hyponatremia. Take it easy with the water, you can…

I typically run alone, often in the dark since it is so darn hot and humid here. I haven't had any problems, but my husband is always worried...that Road ID App on the iPhone is really nice, I start it and it sends him an email where he can track where I am. It also sends an alert if I don't move for 5 minutes (this is an…

I couldn't get through when I tried, when I came back it was already sold out. There still are fundraising slots available but I am not good at asking people for money.

Yes, here!:smile: Lost weight while on Mirena. Did not gain weight. No problems. No periods after 6 months (and who can not love that!) Would do it again all over, but 5 years earlier. :love: :love: :love:

UC is one nasty disease. I have heard a low residue diet may help--is he on one? If not, make an appointment with a nutritionist to discuss his options. UC has flares--so when he is better he can go for a run where there isn't a bathroom in the immediate vicinity but I don't think he will ever be able to go for a run where…

You are young <assuming your profile photo has a picture of you that is> and have no idea yet....they change as you get older and even worse when you lose weight when you are older.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Training for a long distance race has made my weight loss stall--I get so hungry, especially after the long runs! The last 10 lbs are hard, harder because you have to eat less because your body is moving less weight around. Have to rack up the exercise!

Mel makes things look easy when they aren't---ignore her until you have run your first marathon! But she makes a great point- your "plateau" isn't one. Recalculate your calorie requirements every 5 lbs, be patient with your stalls, persist, and make sure you measure and weigh everything! Don't forget to track salt because…

Same thing happened to me and the doc told me to do physical therapy and stop running for a month. When I ran <a whole mile> after the month was over and physical therapy was over, and my knees started hurting after the run again. He told me I couldn't run for exercise. I ignored him and went to a personal trainer at the…

I think it must be relative to what your training is, I don't think there is a standard used for races. Living and training in Florida, I consider an overpass hilly, but someone living in the Sierra Nevada or Rocky Mountains would scoff at me.

Really, blisters are inevitable? When will I get some? I have run a half marathon on properly fitted shoes without body glide on my feet. Never had a black toenail either.

Still waiting to hear from Carson..

There are some unmanned exits that require exact change-just prepare for those if you don't have a sunpass. You get a discount if you use the sunpass and can buy a sticker sunpass for 5.00 that you can remove when you leave. Of course if you stay near the parks the only tolls you will need to pay are the ones immediately…
