  • thanks!! i was able to finish the 30!!! had pain for 20k of it! resting and working on strength and proper alignment! will see how it goes. if the pain returns when i start to up my km again- dr suggested a bone scan-- x-ray came back -ve. for fracture
  • No pain with pressure. Can't actually "get" to where the pain is. It's feels like it's under the tibia in the middle of my ankle
  • what about doing a run streak--so maybe 10km 3x a wk and the others are 1mile! and you can play around with what days you are doing 10km and have flexibility. or set a km/wk goal and run everyday but base the distance on how you are feeling!! enjoy!!!!
  • thanks everyone!! i like the idea of pancakes!!! my race is a 1/2. its a women's run in Niagara falls. i do begin to focus on eating more carbs starting at the beginning of the wk--but the last 3 days prior- i tend to try and increase my carbs significantly. this is very hard for me. i'm not a carb fan. it has worked well…
  • i've heard this depression can be a result of cortisol being produced. running or any activity for extended periods of time puts great stress on our bodies.
  • i have 2 kids and a husband. i work out of the house a few days a week. try to work out everyday. feel free to add me as a friend. when i started this journey, kids were younger, found it easier to do DVD work outs at home. how they are older- its easier now to get out for runs.
  • i was losing wt at the beginning of my training (had set at 2lbs loss a wk)- now that i'm 3 wks out from my 1/2- i set it to .5 a wk- i found with a low cal intake i was soooooooo tired as my long runs got longer. it has been better since i uped my cals. but with the above suggestion--i might put it back to 2lb wt loss for…

  • you will know when its time to change your goal! i found the biggest factor was how much i was willing to run--i have little kids and now they are 4 and 6 and its much easier to get out regularly and what a difference!
  • great job!! what a success!! i think this is normal--i experienced this after my 1st race! your legs should come back in a couple days! don't sweat it!! listen to your body! u run very different in training vs a race--so take is easy and you'll be back at it in no time!!
  • great job!! anytime we finish we should be really proud of ourselves! keep up the great work!! i have moved onto 1/2 marathons after doing some 5's, and 10s! enjoy your training!!
  • they are the devil!! i am always surprised at how many people don't know anything about GMO!!! i agree with an above post--if there's nothing wrong with it--label it!! but they won't!! they want to keep the public in the dark--they don't want people asking questions! it is so upsetting!!! and these companies are so much…

  • just micro for a shorter time!! used to do it all the time --i'm still kicking!!
  • you can do this!!! if you are the shopper of the house--don't bring the stuff into the house!! involve your son in your fitness?? walks/bike rides? if you did it before you can do it again!! life is a marathon--not a sprint!! slow and steady!
  • it's really a thing!! google it!! they have no idea why--but i remember the first time i was around a table with friends and i asked if it happened to anyone else--and i was the only one--then i googled it!!
