Years ago my doctor told me to take Magnesium. She said as a runner I need it.

What she said ^ I was also prediabetic a few years ago. You NEED to exercise. My doctor made that very clear. Exercise will give you more energy. I get up between 4-4:30 to run. You can make the time and you will feel a lot better.

I started with walking which turned into running.

Training for my first Marathon in October. Got in 16 miles today. :smile:

I started running when I was 49. I love running now. It will get easier. You just need to take it slow and listen to your body.

Exercise.

I'll keep my carbs. :smile: Without them I'd have no energy. Love those carbs! Can't win any races without them.

Look at training plans on http://www.runnersworld.com/ I started running when I was 49. I'm 52 now and love it. Keep running! Slowly add distance and speed will come. Find a running club if you can. There's nothing like running with the younger guys. :smile: Sign up for races! Right now I'm training for a triathlon and my…

I've got hypothyroidism. I was diagnosed 20 years ago. I'm on Synthroid 175. I didn't start losing weight until I really decided to do something about it. That meant changing my eating habits and exercising. It's hard to do when your body says you're too tired but the more you exercise the easier it gets. I feel 20 years…

I like Luna bars.

I started my first week of training for the marathon I'm running in October. I got to jump around in a bounce house with a bunch of kids last night. It was fun. :smile:

Go slooooow. Listen to your body. Good shoes. Like someone else said - My "jogging" was slower than my walking. My daughter used to tease me "I walk faster than you run". I started running when I was 49. I'm 52 now and training for my first marathon. I love running. It's the fountain of youth. I'm still working on speed...…

It really kills bed bugs. DON"T BREATHE IT! That's why they use something to apply it with. It's dangerous to breathe the powder that gets in the air. If you use it on bugs put a mask over your face.

Hey, get to the gym! If I can run 11 miles in the rain, you can make it out to the gym!

I'm running my first marathon on October 19, in Delaware.

I'll stick to running. : ) I love my running club.

Don't worry about your friend. Forget her. You're young. If you drink a lot of water and work out while eating right your skin will tighten up.

hmm... oatmeal... then a luna bar after my run... then I was bad and had that egg white sandwich thing at McDonalds with chocolate milk and orange juice. :smile:

Both!

I lost 120 pounds from running. Start slow with walking. You'll get there!

My motivation is how much better I feel. I feel young! I can run a 5K with my granddaughter or grandson on my shoulders. I can run a half marathon... working on a full. : ) Running makes me feel great! There's so much I want to do! I'm going rock climbing with some friends this summer. I want to try kayaking and swimming…

I run... and run... and run. : ) My mileage goes up when I'm thinking about stuff and stressed.
