It very well could be related to how your shoe is fitting and/or laced I can't remember where I saw it but there is information out there on different ways to lace sneakers to avoid problems ...I have had something like that almost feels like a bruise I have loosend up my laces and that seemed to help good luck and keep on…

I hate articles like this ...when is the last time anyone has seen a fat runner hahahhaahha

Necessity!!! I never exercise without one it is an important training tool and an indicator of if your slacking or not when I look down and only working at 80% my target heart rate I know I have to bump it up it also especially for me is an indicator for me to back off at times . I don't have an expensive one its kinda…

As a hypochondriac I am now convinced that I have this!! Just joking I am pretty sure my lingering soreness is from the Fitness Marathon last Saturday very interesting read

did my frst mud run last year Run For Your Lives and like you LOVED IT!!!! I am doing the Warrior Dash and hopefully the run For Your Lives again I have definately made some changes to my exercise program to hopefully help me do it better .......my goal is to some day do a tough mudder

I didn't know I could run until I was being chased by Zombies!!! Check out Run for your Lives

I am also plagued with knee pain I do group fitness classes and do the lower impact options and still can get my heartrate up there and burn some good calories....someone mentioned spinning being easy on the knees I disagree a litle bit there its really important that you are adjusted right on that bike or else it can be…

HAHAHAH neither I'm looking for a them to have a car and a job so I don't have to support their sorry *kitten*:laugh:

I'd do what feels good and enjoy that vacation!!!

I struggle with this too and for me anyway a lot of it is in my head ....I am still not a runner but still trying !!!!!

Ditto

Add in one of those interval training workouts into your routine they say (trainers at my gym) that this is what changes BMR. In the end it is just about what works for you ....GOOD LUCK!!

I'm a Masshole

NO!!!!!! Keep on trying I have been where you are a hundred times!!!! You can do it. I have never had any sucess when I have cut out something completely especially carbs I just aim for keeping it within range .....Don't give in

I actually worked in gyecology for 13 years and given that you have done kegel's and have had 3 , I am assuming vaginal deliveries, children I am doughting you are going to get any relief from weights or exercise I'd make an appointment with a gynecologist and go from there. There are a lot of surgical options that people…

Oh my Goodness I struggle with this as well!!! I try to not drink during the week and make sure I exercise at least saturday morning in which I do a marathon workout of weights and bodystep and try to burn at least 1,000 to make up for all my naughtiness

I second this

Well said!!

Awesome Job!!!!

Add exercises that strengthen all the muscles and ligaments that support your knees. And ditto to what everyone else is saying about shoes

I did this all the time during my first attempt on a similar website now I am very careful to not to eat back calories I burn

I have similar issues where I live I am actually getting my gun permit so I can carry at least pepper spray on walks and can carry if I go out into the woods ....goats !! They can be wicked mean I would have been terrified too!!

Sounds like you are on the right track now !!!!!!!

Forget about it , and learn from it, and don't do it again :smile: I have been in that position for sure due to a piece of chocolate peanut butter pie from chili's after learning it was like 700+ calories I realized wow it wasn't even really good!! You can do it !!!!

Just enjoy!!! And start fresh the next day

What ever your routine is if you get to the end of a set and you think you could do even one more you should go up on weight ...that's what our instructor tells us...but never sacrifice form !!!!

Sounds like you may even benefit from taking another rest day ...I have learned the hard way that rest days are just as important as workout days ...Good Luck!!

Back injuries are the worst I definately would seek a MD appointment and when you are cleared to return to exercise focus on core strength people i know with injuries swear by this

I usually do a greek yogurt and a banana. Some days I will do egg ehites with spinach mushroom and tomatoe on a 100 calorie bread and slice of cheese.

5k Rock and Run in May, Warrior Dash in June ,Run for your Lives ( I think in July) and maybe the Spartan, then in the fall there are a couple of local 5k's I am looking forward to doing its all about the t shirts and beer :)
