I read a quote that says "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"...I like to change skinny to healthy. I also let myself have a cheat day. I'm really good during the week and on Sunday, I don't track my food. I don't go crazy but I don't feel guilty about having a piece of cheesecake either. You have to be really careful…

I'm in the 12 minute pace group too! Not looking forward to the 8 mile run on Tuesday! Philllbis - good luck with the mini!

I've been using MapMyRun but may try Runkeeper if it has an interval plans! I hate having to keep looking at my watch to see if it's time to speed up or slow down. Pverbarg, what pace group are you in? Philllbis, there seems to be about a million half-marathon apps out there. I would just pick one and go for it. If you're…

This will be my 4th or 5th mini and my second time running it. It's a great race! Some of the bands along the course are hilarious! I agree hjay07 and do not wear new clothes or shoes! Also dress for about 10-15° warmer than the temp that day. You'll warm up quickly. A lot of people wear old shirts to ward off the chill in…

I started C25K November 2011 and I'm running my second Mini marathon in May. I had a few repeat weeks when I started and the first time I had to run 20 minutes in a row about killed me, but I kept up with it. I've gotten over running in the cold and snow, but I still hate rain! ;-) I used the C25K app.

Thanks for your post. I haven't tried zig zagging calories. I actually just started counting again. I was just trying to eat good, healthy food & not worry too much about the number of calories. Mostly fruits/veggies and whole grains. I wasn't gaining weight, but it's just not going down. I know I'm building muscle,…

I really like the IndyRunners training series. Typically, they start at Hinkle and then run down the foot path along the canal and back. You also run with a pacer in a pace group which is nice. After every run, they have "informational meeting" with topics ranging from running gear to injury prevention.

Cheapest exercise is just walking outside. Not very glamorous but it's free! :smile:

Good luck! The first step is making the choice to be healthy!
