  • I could do a workout DVD watching him the whole time. That's the best motivation in the world!

  • Copied and pasted from your first post: Could be any number of things. Too much too soon. Not enough rest in between workouts. Your shoes might not be the best fit for your running form. You should try alternating ice and heat on them. I do it for about 20 minues on each leg when mine act up. It helps. Also, google…

  • Whitesnake "Here I Go Again"... or anything REO Speedwagon. They're at the beginning and end of my running playlist.

  • I agree whole-heartedly. I also recommend another book, "Natural Running" by Danny Abshire. I read that and changed my whole way of running. I use minimalist running shoes, and its the same effect of not striking with my heels. I had shin splints for YEARS. I found shoes that cut down on the pain but I literally iced my…

  • Make sure you research real running stores, not Foot Locker or Sports Authority. They'll probably be listed under speciality stores. Fleet Feet is a good one, along with Runner's Lane if you're on the west coast. If you go to Foot Locker the 17 year old kid will tell you that the entire wall is full of running shoes. The…

  • I use Newton's from Newton Running. I switched to them in January from Mizunos and haven't looked back since. No back, knee or shin pain. I :heart: them SO MUCH.

  • I always feel self conscious. I know that no one really cares what I'm doing or how I look doing it, but I always feel like they're staring at me. A friend of mine actually asked me once, don't you worry that other people will think you don't belong in a gym? Well, yeah I'm overweight, but at least I'm doing something…

  • I have the DVDs and the 25 minute ones go by in a flash... The first few times I did them I kept expecting more but it never came lol. I got the zumba shaker sticks with mine, but I use 3lb weights instead of them just to kick it up a bit. I think what I love the most about it is that I can do it at home, and no one can…

  • Wisdom? hahahaha just go do it. That's about it. And don't quit. I have this on-going dialogue in my head because I ALWAYS want to stop. Even on the first lap. I want to walk for 30 seconds and catch my breath. I am absolutely NEVER motivated to run, but at the end it's ALWAYS worth it. So I'll be running and think to…
