My first Half in Pittsburgh May 7th. Struggling with motivation and confidence. My longest run so far has been 6 miles in about 1hour. Doing a short run, medium run, and a long run each week as well as core exercises. Have had a sore outside hip. Anybody have any ideas? Also I could use any support I can get. Oh yeah the…

Up to 11/ 24 miles and will be signing up for another 5k on June 6th.

@Lonewolfrunner @Sonicdeathmonkey80 @skippygirlsmom Thanks for the input. The race is at 11:00am. I think I'll eat something but early. English muffin sounds good. I've got a loose top but I'm wearing compression shorts because I can't stand the ride up that I get with normal shorts. I wanted to be able to run faster than…

So running my 2nd 5K this coming Saturday. Tips on how to stay cool??????? Tips on what to eat night before and morning of????????

I set an April goal, It was low compared to everybody else but I met it. So this month I'm going to set of 24 miles. My April goal was 17. May 4th - 2miles

Thanks for this info too. I'm going to try the street next time too because of our uneven sidewalks.

Did my first 5K in April in under 36 minutes. Doing another on May 16th. But I feel like my running is getting worst. I need some motivational help. :( Yesterday I had a run and I felt better about it. I think it might have to do with the weather. It was a little on the chilly side and threatening to rain. It felt good as…

I'm having grinding and popping noises in my left knee and sometimes it will just give out. This happened a few years ago when I was training for a Tough Mudder. I slapped on a cheap brace from Walmart and it seemed to get better. Now that I'm running more again it is happening again. Ok so I've been told that I have…

Family and work don't allow me very much time to run. I'm new to running and really don't like it. But I set an April goal, It was low compared to everybody else but I met it. So this month I'm going to set of 24 miles. My April goal was 17.

Thank you for your help. Ran my first 5K in the beginning of April. Running another in May. But have found out that as it is getting warmer I'm having a harder time breathing. It feels harder.

What about breathing? Yeah I know "in/out". Please don't be sarcastic. I'm asking a real question.

I was once told by a College Football Coach (a long time ago) that I didn't belong in the gym that I was in. I assumed he was just embarrassed that my friend and I were squatting more that some of his players. As a little bit of a "go girl" empowerer, I have held onto that for a motivation for a lifetime of fitness.

I've ordered a Juno. Thanks for the input. It had great reviews on Amazon too.

Thank you for all of you ideas and support. Archerychickg I will be getting some apples and ham on the way home from work tonight. That sounds good and something I can do on the go. I can't blame baby weight either because I lost most of what I gained the day I gave birth. I worked out my entire pregnancy. But since I had…
