This made me laugh!

@CariTJR I have the same February distance goal as yours and you're far ahead of me. So I had to chuckle when you wrote that you felt you were behind on your distance. We just need to keep trying and we'll get there! Congratulations on finding a group to run with. That will definitely help you reach your goals!

2/6 1.57 miles 2/8 2 miles 2/8 2 miles pace 13:03 5.57 down, 14.43 to go Another beautiful sunny day and 50 F. Sherman achieved 62 paces without breaking his heel today! My sister, who declared me certifiably insane for training to run a 7.43 mile race last May, called and asked me if she could try that race with me this…

@rohanivan welcome! I wanted to be smiling at the end of my first race last year, but I ended up bursting into tears! It was pretty embarrassing - I thought for sure I was made of tougher stuff than that. @Elise4270 those shirts are awesome! I wasn't around when the group made the order but if you end up with any extras…

Have you tried messing with your shoe lacing? I had problems a lot like this last year and it was due to my overdeveloped arch being slightly larger on my right foot. A staffer at my favorite running shoe store suggested I lace up looser on that foot and I haven't had the numbness since. I hope you are able to get to the…

2/6 1.57 miles 2/8 2 miles 3.57 down, 16.43 to go Thanks everyone for the congratulations and encouragement! The trail I take my dogs on has a ton of small steep hills. I had to walk up them day before yesterday, but not today! I increased my distance to 2 miles today and didn't have to walk any of it. Then, I did leash…

Hi again everyone, it has been a long time, but I'm back! My darling baby girl was born January 21st, and she is such a content little soul. Her name is Evelyn. I'm soooo glad to not be pregnant anymore (I don't do pregnant well, lol). Evelyn was definitely worth it, though! Today I was out on the trails with the dogs and…

My first puke free run!! 7/25 2.3 miles Pace 12:30 7/18 2.15 miles Pace 12:30 7/12 2 miles. Pace 12:28 7/21 1.62 miles Pace 13:00 Total: 5.77; 4.23 to go

On Saturday, I ran, and I didn't throw up. Then when I got home, the smell of my own sweat made me throw up! LOL 7/18 2.15 miles Pace 12:30 7/12 2 miles. Pace 12:28 7/21 1.62 miles Pace 13:00 Total: 5.77; 4.23 to go

7/12 2 miles. Pace 12:28 7/21. 1.62 miles. Pace 13:00 Did 2 miles today with a pace of 12:28. No puking, yay!

Hey all, we had a cooler, lightly raining day today, so I thought I'd give it a go to see how I could do. I got to 1.62 miles with a pace of 13:00 min/mile, but I had to stop to spew twice as I jogged by some big dog dookie. Changed my route slightly (duh!) and I was good to go until someone decided to BBQ some meat.…

What was your warm up/cool down & stretching routine? I was constantly plagued with them in High School Track & Cross Country...

I was the same way when I first started my weight loss endeavor in my mid twenties. I couldn't stand every minute I was working out, regardless of the activity. Eventually, I did start to enjoy it. It took me obtaining a good cardio base for it to hurt less. I also found that if I could do any activity outdoors (hiking,…

I want to thank you all for your congratulations! It was kind, and I appreciate it. Unfortunately, after setting my lofty goal for June, I have been completely debilitated by Morning (AKA Make-You-Wish-You-Weren't-Alive-24/7) Sickness every day. Yesterday, I finally felt like a human again. Sooo...Here is my amazing June…

My Dr. told me to take 25 mg of Vitamin B6 with Unisom at night, and another 25 mg of B6 with my morning meal. It has made the nausea less overwhelming; I'm only throwing up about every other day now. I still battle nausea every day, all day. It's just not as intense. I haven't been able to do anything besides go to work,…

I have it & like it, but I didn't complete it then got into running too seriously. I was intending on picking it up again when the winter daylight restricts my running. I did it for 6 weeks and saw good results in my rear, thighs, and abs. I think it's worth the money if you are like me and don't enjoy the gym experience,…

@bluethethreeleggeddog congratulations! I love it that you felt so good after your first run! P.S. Running is SO the best exercise!! na-na-na-na-boo-boo!!! :D

I know it seems counterintuitive, but when you're first starting out running, the slower the better. I used to get side stitches often when I started running with my friend who had been running for a year (I was completely sedentary). The days I would go out on my own, I ran much slower than she and the side stitches…

I'm in for 106. I just found out I am pregnant this morning, so we'll see how THAT helps with my running goals, LOL. Also, welcome all new members to this thread, it will help with your motivation! Total: 0; 106 to go

Ok, new to Google Docs, let's see if this works: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GVKOdptYIJhcd8HKCsERKzkFFOM6YSzfRKYP7mWLP2o/edit?usp=sharing I can see now that I need to start off with longer long runs to build it up to 13 and still allow a 2 week taper. I'll have to tinker with my long runs again. My Dec -…

Thank you so much! I was planning on increasing my current average of 20 miles per week by 15%, and maintaining that mileage for 3 weeks, then dropping back to 20 for a recovery week based on these runner's world articles: http://www.runnersworld.com/race-training/optimizing-your-mileage…

@HonuNui I love it when you post your snorkeling pictures. I used to manage a saltwater aquarium store. I have seen many of those beautiful fish you post, but in captivity. I didn't realize it at the time how destructive the hobby is to these creatures & their environment. It warms my heart to see them happy, free, and…

I think I read somewhere that shoes should be replaced after 300 miles...Is this erroneous?

Yeah, what he said! :) 5/27 9 miles. That. Was. Brutal! Pace 11:00 5/26 2.72 miles Pace 10:31 5/22 6.75 miles Pace 11:06 5/21 4.67 miles – Lola’s distance record!

So, I was just finally able to catch up on everybody's posts. @shanaber Hobbes is amazing! Way to go! @SBRRepeat Congratulations on the tri - you are made of much tougher stuff than I :blush: @skippygirlsmom Yikes, a driving teen and a mile long hill...yikes!! @isulo_kura I love the muddy shoe pic, I always feel like it…
