That is awesome congrats, I need to make some adjustments to my food and go from there.

Yep I am a female and I am in the same boat. I starter seriously running last year and have completed 5ks, 10ks and 1 Half Marathon but the darn weight is not coming off and I am really frustrated

Wow that is awesome thanks for sharing

I followed the Hal Higdon plan below, I ran my first Half Marathon in March and it really helped me. I started training pretty early so once I completed the plan I asked Hal if I should do the plan again and he said not so I followed the Marathon novice 1 all the way up to mile 12. And than did the Taper week.…

There are all good, Thanks for sharing everyone.

I changed my goal from 100 to 75 the way things are going for me right now 100 is not going to happen

Great job that is awesome. It sounds like you had a great race, Love the medal

I am going for 100, the weather is getting nice and I have no excuse. Plus I am running with the running group and that forces me to run 25 miles a week

I saw this and it was horrible, I think heads should roll at SELF magazine.

Great recap, man that course sounds scary. Congrats on the PR and love the picture of your son. That is awesome that he ran, he looks so happy.

That is great information I really liked the Hal Higdon plan I never tried the Jeff Galloway plan

This sounds like a good idea, I have only ran one Half Marathon so not sure I should do this or wait until I run more but great tip

I have I gained a lot of weight after I had my second kid. When I started working out my kids would watch and than little by little they would imitate what I was doing with weights or workouts. We have some cute videos of them "working out" But now that they are older my 6 year old and 4 year old both have shown interest…

yep you are right, but you know everything has to have a scientific study behind it for people to believe it LOL!!!

Yes that happened to me while running my Half Marathon in the rain, it was cold. All I wanted to do was get home and take a nice hot shower.

Just my two cents, I used Hebal Life many years ago, I was young and wanted a fast way to loose weight. Did it work? Yes Di I starve myself? yes. Not sure how it works now but back than you had to drink shakes with a bunch of pills and one meal at night. I was always hungry, I was not exercising at the time. I cannot…

Great job, I love running the Hot Chocolate races. I have completed the 5k and 15k here in Phoenix. Awesome work and congrats

Congratulations, it sounds like you had an awesome race. You had a great time, that is awesome for your first Half Marathon you came in under two hours. It sounds like your training paid off, and maybe not having a watch or runkeeper telling you your pace helped you to just go with the flow and listen to your body. You ran…

I run with my 9 year old Chocolate lab, we used to take him out running a lot before, he was up to 4 miles but than we stopped taking him. Recently I started taking him again and he can go up to 3 miles with no problems, he does go slow about 11 min pace I cannot make him go faster, if I do he slows down and will not go…

I really don't care about having round numbers.

I would do it, once I tighten up and build some muscle I would totally run in my sports bra and shirts.

Great job, congrats on the weight loss. What workouts did you do? and how many calories were you eating?

I have not trained for a Marathon, but just recently completed my first Half Marathon. My last two long runs (11 and 12) were mentally hard. For my 11 mile run around mile 8 or 9 my brain started to play tricks on me. I had similar thoughts as you. What am I doing here, why am I doing this, my head kept telling me to stop…

Thanks

Thanks it was fun

Hello welcome to the group, we are already friends :)

i did two short runs taper week, I think one was like 1.5 mile and the other was two. Like you said I was sick so I was just trying to keep my legs in movement so that I would not get stiff. Like someone told me the reason for the taper is just to make sure your legs do not get stiff and not do any hard runs. I was…

This was a great post, I am also a heel striker and I would love to be able to change that.

You are so right, I almost called in sick to work today because I was not feeling good, but I did get up to run on Saturday LOL!!. Oh wow that must be hard running and throwing up, kudos for doing that and completing the race. And I agree I LOVE runners Thanks

Wow that is awesome, yep the cough drops sounds familiar LOL!!!
