Cowards never start. The weak never finish. Winners never quit.

I love running. Luckily I have a running trail behind my house. Just start by walking fast. Fast enough to get your hart beating. Then add a little jogging and walking together. Just keep at it and go out and do it.

Your right, I am disapointed!

#4 - I like the long cardio work outs, I get that runners high only after longer workouts and I'm a junkie. Plus I'd have to take two showers a day!

Yeah, that's where I bought my shoes. I runners specialty store. They watched me walk and recommended three diffrent shoes so I bought the cheapest ones - they were still about $100.

I don't know about the best but I like my New Balance 1012 - I'm bigger still and I love my 1012 - it's like running on clouds and it addressed some foot problems I didn't know I even had untill I wore them running.

Maybe you need some better shoes? I started running at 275 lbs and good running shoes made my runs better. New Balance 1012 - great shoes. Now at 250 I run 3-5 times a week at my own pace. I love running. I started by fast walking and then added jogging in as much as I could. It's not a fast process but it sure has boosted…

Good ideas above! I eat two eggs in olive oil and a whole wheat English muffin. Protein keeps me fuller longer, but an apple about 2 hours later for snack keeps lunch at bay so well that I'm not dying to eat. I also love shredded wheats but I put them in a baggie (dry) and eat them on my way to work with coffee. The fiber…

Sounds good. Running just gets me going and I know I'm getting good exercise when doing it. I guess I could build a little gym in my basement for cross training by lifting weights. Thanks for the info.

Pizza. I even the healthier pizza is high in calories.

Good enough for me! Let's go to the bar!

Went to a party and people asked if I was losing weight. It was nice for people to notice.

Great story! Great 5K!

I broke my foot too, I hobbled on it for about 2 months. I run now and my foot sometimes hurts but overall I think running on it is helping the muscles around my foot to heal by working them. Get some good running shoes though, it will make a big difference.

Nice! Great job. My 5k are 41 min. I can appreciate your hard work and I hope I can soon get up to 30 min. 5k.

I quit cold turkey. I liked the website whyquit.com - it helped me understand what was going on while I was going through withdrawl.

I went to the New Balance store and I was recommended to buy the NB 1012. I love them. It's like running on clouds.

I have the New Balance 1012 - best shoe I've ever had - but not the best looking IMO. I run in them and they are like running on clouds.

I like under amour cold gear longjohn style underwear. I wear it when I'm running and hunting. As long as you keep moving it keeps you warm. On really cold days I'll wear toe warmers in my boots. I hate running in the heat, I'd rather hae it be very cold outside. I love the cold crisp air in my lungs. It also keeps you…

I'm a noob runner, add me too. I would like to start races myself. I run about 3 miles each morning but it's only been 6 weeks.

:drinker:

That would be me, I wear all black or camo on my morning runs! Luckily I'm on a trail so I don't have to worry about cars.

Holy crap! Did you cut off a leg to drop that much! Great job.

Thanks for the advice, went to the running store and bought some nice runners. Will try them out in the morning.

I originally went to Kohls and bought some light weight running shoes that looked cool, but when I went running they hurt my feet. I did some research and I figured I'd have to go to a specialty store for running shoes. Today after work I went to the New Balance store - they watched me walk, looked at my old shoes for the…

One time i was almost ran over by herd of about 10 deer, That scared the crap out of me. Other than that I love running in the dark.

Bad *kitten*. The new Smith and Wesson Sheild is a good option too.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like I just bought myself a pair of lawn mowing shoes! I figured it was my shoes. I will go get fitted soon.
