I used to get really bad shin spints too! I wear ASICS religiously now. I love them.

Oh dear. Doesn't sound so glamorous anymore. "there were 2 course marshall issues I was very unhappy with. I was directed to do a quick out and back in front of the castle. I thought it was the course...NOPE it was for a picture...dude....I wouldn't have done it." Newbie here.. what's the course marshall? Ahh I feel like I…

I have a subscription to this magazine!! I love it, and I also bought the book with training guides for all races. Not sure about the Higdon training guide, but my plan is to incorporate a little from each. HIIT, long runs, Magic Miles, strength training, yoga/pilates...I figure the more I do and the more my body gets…

I must admit, I will definitely be wearing a pink tutu and a tiara :) HAVE to make it fun. Have fun! Thanks guys! And anyone who wants to encourage me, or needs it, feel free to add me :) I'm new so I don't have many friends!

YES!!! I love your picture btw. I just started this week! I'll definitely be following you since I'm not exactly sure where I should be at what point and time. I have a training guide, but I get a little distracted sometimes. It's my first half marathon too and I'm really excited too. Was never a LONG distance runner, but…

So no one else is training for a half marathon?

I'm 5'4'' 115 lbs. This site tells me to eat 1200 calories, other sites tell me to eat 2000 calories. 1200 is WAY too little because I start feeling dizzy and fatigued even when not working out so I try not to focus too much on the calories. Don't starve yourself, eat healthy, portion control!, get a sufficient amount of…

To be stronger. My goal was to be able to do ATLEAST 5 pulls up. Not that hard for guys, but I could never do them before!

I like watching really big guys do yoga/pilates with the ladies. Shows you're not embarrassed, AND it's amusing :)

I speak from experience when I say cut bad carbs and limit the healthy ones. That's what I've done and I have enough energy to sustain me through my workouts, and I have a flat belly. You can do as many crunches as you want, but if you eat crap, you're not going to see the results you want.

Not worried about the number? Height: 5'4" SW: 118 CW: 116 GW: 115 Pounds aren't really what matter to me, it's just the way that I look and feel about myself. I would love my abs more defined and bigger arms. I have a small frame, but feel like my legs are a lot more muscular than the rest of my body. My weigh can…

If you haven't ran or done cycling try each and see which one you like. I like riding a bike outside, but the spin classes that gym's offer (even though you burn tons of calories) I HATE. Think if I'm on a bike, I want to actually be going somewhere. Forget to mention too that treadmills are great surfaces to run on too.…

From everything you've said, kind of sounds like you've decided cycling is the best for you. I personally love running, but I get shin splints pretty often, so I'm trying to incorporate different types of cardiovascular exercise as well. Running really does take a toll on the body, and definitely takes time to build up to…
