Thanks for the help!

Honestly I'm not sure. I never really was a runner ever. I dont have anyone who can critic me on my form.

I think I'm going to drop back my mileage, and drop my walk breaks completely. I'm going to do a 5k, novice plan, followed by a 5k intermediate plan, then an advanced 5k plan. After 6 months I'll reevaluate.

So for my long runs I should eliminate the walks altogether? Would this be for both my shorter weekly ones too? No walking? I would probably have to do quarter mile distance increases instead of 1 mile step ups. Would I jog at 13:30 or go somewhere like 15:00?

I do long runs one day typically Saturday usually at 13:30 pace for 3 minutes then 1 minute of walking. Short runs are 2-4 miles 2 days a week, I don't typically time them. My distance runs are building from 4 miles - 12 miles. I usually Zumba once per week for fun. I've been 'running' since 2011. I did initially start out…

Spin classes are typically the most popular classes in my gym experience.

I'm not interested in continuing to log long run miles endlessly anymore, its not working for me.

Ill look into interval training, thanks. I don't want to write off that I will never do a half marathon again but I know I am done with them for now.

Awesome!

Awesome!!

I just went to lululemon, they have an awesome one I bought, quite a bit of colors too.

Whoop! Just joined up!

Thanks for all the tips everyone, I'm going to see if packing a snack for the car ride home does the trick.

Awesome. I have runkeeper but I don't see anything for intervals. Is that with the paid version?

Thanks everyone. I'm definitely going to look into the Galloway plan,

No I did not have knee problems. The walk always gives me a chance to get accumulated, so as long as i stretch I am ok.

Thank you for the suggestion I will look into that book! I would love to get beyond the 3 hour mark.

Im curious what your running pace was for your 3:1's. Thank you for all the information it is very helpful! thank you!

I apologize all my formatting went away :( I posted my plan here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-w6BvIhJxJIR1FnV3VrZGd0OHc/edit?usp=sharing

What about an egg salad Poach the eggs?

Vegetable Kabobs for the grill.

I also signed up for Nutrition, Health, and Lifestyle: Issues and Insights by Jamie Pope through Vanderbilt University. It has already started but you can access all the information. Thanks for posting this :) what an amazing resource

Ask someone in the produce department . The tags I've found all say Spaghetti Squash, and they are usually with the onions/ potatoes for whatever reason.

Yeah, I'm am definitely doing the 'diet'. It is taking work to get back in there. I was WAY too low with my calories yesterday so I snacked at night... which isn't good. So I need to get back in the groove.

Thank you for your response, I went for a walk tonight, and I jogged very short distances. I went 3 miles in an hour, big sigh. I think I'll just stay with walking and move onto jogging. Basically starting all over is very discouraging but its better than gaining even more weight.

Its really going to depend on what type of weather you typically run in. Is it cold like 40's or cold like 60's or is it raining... I have a few light weight jackets.I don't own any of the heavier cold jackets because its never that cold where I live. They all have pockets. My favs are ones that have breathable pockets…

I have problems with traditional shorts riding up when I run.. then I get chaffing and I don't like seeing stretch marks. So I use spandex shorts, like the really tight ones, and then wear more a running short over them. I've also found nike shorts that are right above my knee, they look like cotton but they definitely…
