Congratulations!! What an amazing accomplishment! You should be so proud of yourself!! I also wanted to say to you and to anyone wanting to run that run/walk is a great way to accomplish running goals. I started "running" in 2009 and have been using the Run/Walk Method since. I have run 9 half-marathons and 2 marathons…

You can get the Honey Stinger chews at a Trek store or Fleet Feet or any specialty running shoe store. They are very gentle on my system.

Fresh uncooked kale Avocado Lemon juice (freshly squeezed) Pull the kale off the stems and tear up like a salad. Cut up an avocado, and squeeze fresh lemon juice over kale and avocado. Mash around with hands to mix/massage it all together. Salt and pepper to taste. Let stand in fridge for 15 min-30 min. Eat like a salad.…

No matter what size I'm in, I don't ever look at anyone else in the store and wonder why they are shopping in any section. I understand the body image problems. I have them, too, but no one else sees you the way you see yourself. Most people are too busy and self absorbed (myself included) to care what anyone else is doing…

I love the Honey Stinger blocks/gels. They are all organic and don't seem to mess with my tummy like some of the others do. I ran a half marathon on Saturday and for much of the last half of the race, I just stuck one gummy in the side of my cheek and sucked on it. Usually, I take 4 of the gummys around mile 5 or 6, then…

1. Go to your local running shoe store and get fitted for a proper pair of running shoes. 2. Start slowly with periods of walking and running. Look at the Couch to 5K plan online as some others have suggested. 3. Find a supportive friend or running group to join. 4. Don't do too much, too fast. That is the number one…

If you just have a head cold, then yes. But if you have a fever or chest congestion, then dr says you shouldn't. Sometimes it is best to rest. Listen to your body.

I completely agree with everyone else...start walking. Another thing no one has mentioned is try to find someone to walk with. If you have a friend that will hold you accountable, it is a lot easier to get out there. When I first started exercising on my own, it was hard. I found a group that I run with now and my Saturday…

Yes! 44 here. I see you also have triplets?? I have twins. I run for my exercise and sanity. My kids are 14 now, though so my sanity is much more reachable. Even with running, I really have to watch my calories or my weight will creep up. Like they said before me...one day at a time.

The Couch to 5K program is wonderful. It is a run/walk program that is totally do-able in a month or 2. About 3 years ago, I started in a similar program called No Boundaries through my local Fleet Feet store. It is basically a 10 week Couch to 5k program, but with coaching and lots of support. Since that time, I have run…

Absolutely, get fitted at your local running store. They may also recommend inserts, like Superfeet, too, depending on your foot/arch.
