I had Shingles when I was in 5th grade.. yes VERY rare and yes it WAS shingles.. The rash will appear on one side of your body and is VERY painful. I had it in a line under the left side of my chest. It seriously felt like broken bones - actually I broke my leg in the 2nd grade.. I would have taken that again over…

Do you have room for me? I see this challenge every month and mean to join but forget to before the new month starts! I'm training for a Half on November 4th and think that I could do 100 - but I think I'm going to set my goal for 90 since this would be my first time in this challenge :)

OMG! You went to Secrets!! We were at Secrets St James (Preferred club as well) from Sept 3-10th for our honeymoon! Wasn't it amazing? By the way - you look fabulous! Congrats on all of your hard work and dedication!

Thank you! We're staying at Secrets St. James in Montego Bay. Know anything about this resort?

Thanks so much for the tips so far! Does anybody have any suggestions for transitioning from the street to the beach?

Thank you! Also - I forgot to ask - does anybody have any tips for running on the beach? Should I run barefoot? Or run in my shoes? Thanks again!

100% agree with this post! I was having shin splints and knee pain (the worst!) and I went out and bought an expensive pair of running shoes - didn't help. Somebody then suggested that I go to a running store and have them watch me walk/run and fit me for shoes. I was first off wearing a size too big - and secondly, I…

Aww thanks, Sarah!! xoxoxo!! <3 and thanks everyone! I seriously love this site!

Thank you very much everybody! It truly means a lot. I'm still having a hard time seeing myself at the weight that I am at now. My sisters (they are with me in the first pic) are very naturally thin - and I've been so jealous of them all my life. But they both smoke and can't walk a mile so it makes me feel great that even…

between 5'2 and 5'3 depending on who measures me. haha. I'm a short one!

aww thank you!! :)

I 100% agree with this - I had a hard time adjusting from running on the treadmill to running outside but now that's all I do and i love it so much more! I'm even running without musice (something I never though I'd do - but it actually helps me focus more on my breathing and i LOVE it). I had to run on a treadmill the…

Thank you!

I cannot echo this enough! When I first started running I had shin splints and really bad knee pain. I went to a running only store and they watched me walk and fit me properly. Turns out I have a pronation and I was also wearing shoes that were 1/2 a size too big. After a few runs with the new shoes - I have no knee pain!…

Thank you for your recommendation! I'll have to check that out. When I was googling there's SO much information out there. I think I would find the water in the small of my back uncomfortable as well. Side note - how do you make your own gel packs? (what do you put in it?) Also - what distance runs do you use them on and…

Agreed.

Thanks, everyone!! I sometimes still find myself saying "I can't wait to be a runner".. weird! Good luck with your first 5k Dobberloon! You will love it and will be addicted!

Thank you!!

Sounds good to me as well!! My e-mail is Rebroland@gmail.com

Let me know if you're looking for somebody else to e-mail!! We are very similar! Age: 24 (will be 25 in July) Height: 5'2 Current Weight: 169 Goal Weight: 125-130 (we'll see when we get there). I'm getting married on 09/02 and I'd really like to be under 150 - even if it's just 149.8! lol. I have promised myself that every…

I'm 5'2 and 172-175 right now.. I'm currently wearing a 14 - ALMOST in a 12. Goodluck!

I think it's different for everybody.. However, I started C25K on the treadmill - started Jan 3 and finished March 3.. at that time I could run for 30 mins daily and had been able to run 3.1 miles a few times.. After I finished the 5k I signed up for my first 5k (just finished it april 7th!!) So i decided to start running…

Yes! September 2nd! :)
