thanks for the input, guys. I'll play around with when I use them (during vs post) and definitely break out the foam roller.

I did the Color Run last year (see: profile pic)… it's definitely a no-pressue run. The majority of people walked. I saw one guy that was obviously a serious runner, but everyone else just walked it with the occasional shuffle-jog. I was actually a bit disappointed because I saw people cutting across the course on numerous…

I'll just copy/paste what I just posted in another thread :) I have exercise-induced asthma, and when I first started running I couldn't go more than 30 seconds without being completely out of breath. Here's how I got to a point where I could jog 50 minutes non-stop: 1. Slow down. Like, even if people are walking faster…

Is your 2 hour commute home due to distance or traffic? If it takes you 2 hours no matter what time of day, disregard this, but if it takes you two hours cuz of traffic, can you "wait out" the traffic after work? For example, I live in Southern California. It's about 55-ish miles from my house to my parents. If I started…

Fitletic (previously iFitness) belts. http://www.fitletic.com/ I have a Samsung Galaxy S 3 - a big phone - and I didn't want to get a huge armband for it. My belt fits my phone in the front pouch and has an extra side pouch for my keys. Plus they have add-ons for phone pouches and water bottles that you can add and remove…

We love Quorn Turk'y Roast (not vegan). I'm actually a meat eater but I love that stuff. By itself it isn't fantastic, but we pour Newman's Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette over it with some Italian seasonings and pop it in the oven for about 45 minutes. The vinaigrette makes it super moist and gives it great flavor :)

Bump!

Mmmm chicken and stuffing!!

Thanks for this post. I'm actually scheduled to go to physical therapy for hip pain next week. I haven't run in almost 5 weeks but I can still feel pain in the hip when I'm laying down - I haven't done any cardio in over a month and I'm going stir crazy! I'm curious - what happened in PT? How long did it take, how often…

I'm so completely pissed and frustrated. So, I've stayed off my leg for 3 weeks. I've iced, ibuprofen'd, done the stretches I've seen recommended online, bought and applied kinesio tape, and been sleeping with a pillow between my knees. I've been feeling good, virtually no pain while laying down at night, so I went out…

Oh man I was thinking about looking into this, but I wasn't sure if it'd work. Thanks for the link and info!!

Ooooo if I make it through the Tinkerbell half and there are still spots available I'm seriously considering it. I really want to do the Surf City 10K in October as a fun training run!

Thanks guys! My company just switched to a Kaiser HMO, so I don't have the freedom I did with the PPO to choose a doctor (and, if there's any truth to the anecdotal evidence I've heard, it'll take a long time to get the specialist referrals I may need through Kaiser. First time with them, though, so maybe it's better than…

Thanks for the tips! I was supposed to go to spin class tonight, but I've decided against it; if I'm sore just walking around there's no way I should get on the bike. I figure I can still work my upper body over the next week, I'll just stay away from the cardio :( Oh man. I'm a very, VERY new runner - I started in April…

I'm usually pretty scruffy-looking. And my birth year.

5'1", goal weight is 135. I was at about 142 in May, then I ATE EVERYTHING all summer and I'm up to 150. Working on bringing it back down and maybe finally pushing past the 140 mark.

The Marathon Show!!! Joe Taricani is the Huell Howser of marathon running. His enthusiasm is charming and addictive - I signed up for my 1/2 marathon just because his show inspired me so much. He records WHILE running marathons and interviews runners on the course. http://themarathonshow.com/

Hello! Ann here. I started running at the beginning of 2012 - went from not being able to run for more than 30 seconds at a time to running my first 5K on July 4th 2012. I've since run a half dozen 5Ks and am training to run the Disneyland 10K in 2 weeks! I was pretty nervous about the long run training, but they've…
