Well I made it to the smelly, smelly gym. But instead of going straight from work I had to come home-- I forgot my jog bra. I can not run without it.. someone would get hurt. :noway: So I walked down to the gym and ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill with the last mile and a half at the fastest pace I have had yet. It was only…

OOPS! I just posted this in the MFP Fitness Challenge section, it was meant for this group: I'm going to run on the treadmill after work today, it's just too hot and humid here to do it outside. I have discovered the drawback to joining the gym at the local community college-- the smell! Oh my word!! See it is in the…

I'm going to run on the treadmill after work today, it's just too hot and humid here to do it outside. I have discovered the drawback to joining the gym at the local community college-- the smell! Oh my word!! See it is in the basement of an older auditorium and it doesn't have air conditioning-- just three strategically…

And yes, Kechie, I have had pf. It is the worst! It finally went away when I had to stop running for about six months. Now if I have even the slightest ache in my heal I start to panic. Hope it clears up for you without having to take time off.

No running today. I thought I would take last night off but my plans fell through. I ended up doing 15 minutes of jump rope, 15 minute walk, 15 min yoga and lifted weights. I'm trying to mix it up so I don't get bored. I am so sore today! So today I rest. For the cramping, I agree, you have to drink lots of water. You may…

I'm just laughing period. I think I'm gonna like this runner's group! I only did two miles on the treadmill today. I'm good with it though as I haven't ran in almost two weeks. I had it at 5.2 which is higher than my normal. Baby steps, baby steps. The only running pants/capris that I've tried that don't ride up are by…

I'd be interesting in hearing more about breathing methods as well. I've been "running" for about 18 months now. I say "running" caus it's looks more like a shuffle with lots of panting and red, red cheeks. Getting my breathing under control would be a real benefit. I just bought a month pass to a local college gym so I…

I'm a big fan of Asics! One trick I learned is to try on two different pairs of shoes at once-- one on one foot and one from a different pair on the other. Narrow it down by which one feels the best until you have a winner. It does make a difference to go to a specialty running store. A gait analysis will save you a lot of…

Just pushing through it is probably the best advice. The first 1/4 mile or so will be the hardest but after that your body just kind of takes over and you sink into the rhythm. Just try not to panic when you feel like you are gasping for air. I was never a good runner until I started the training program for a local 5k…
