  • There is Bridge to a 10k, and you may want to look at programs by Hal Higdon and Jeff Galloway
  • Laughing Cow of any sort and wheat thins or granny smith apple with crunchy peanut butter!
  • It was the small things. At first, I could only do a little...and then day by day I just increased my previous workout And I know there are not many people like me, but the soreness I would get from my workout was SUCH a motivator!! I just kept thinking that was my muscles moving and not being so dormant. You have to find…
  • Got in 7 more this morning! I am behind as we are at the halfway point today!!
  • bump for later
  • I have to go with Thai Green Curry and pretty much any kind of sushi!
  • I have lost a 35 pound bag of dog food!!
  • I am at your pace and totally okay with it. I slowed down when I found I could not run 4 miles without stopping. That was about 3 months ago and now I am up to 9 miles. So it totally worked. Like you, I just want to complete the race....time is not a focus for me for now. I guarantee you will not be the slowest. There will…
  • I would love to do that! I know you are on such a 'super high' right now! Amazing feeling and totally inspiring!
  • You could go to Youtube and watch the Zumba videos and learn right along with them. I agree with most of the previous posts about walking. It gets you moving and you just might be surprised how much it inspires you to perhaps jog, I don't have time or money for the gym, so I started walking in March and found it did not…
  • I went from running for 30 seconds at a time in March to 90 minutes in September I can cross my legs easily Was in a size 18 and now my 12's are too big
  • 9 miles running, and a 15 minute walk with my boxer this morning!
  • Wow I am in awe of the 9 hours and 11 minutes. Bravo to you!! I was out of town last week and only got in 5 miles, but started making up lost ground this morning with 10. Shooting for 4 days this week of running!
  • I cannot get over how much your baby looks like one of mine. I have a white boxer that is my heart and soul. My heart breaks for you and i hope you pain eases day by day. My dogs are my family and I cannot imagine what you are going through. I have to agree with other people....all of that love you have cannot go…
  • I happen to think PT's are highly underquaified to be giving out advice. You are better off to talk to your personal physician. I would imagine this will get loads of responses like mine that say....WTH??? I am 42 and started out in the 'obese' catagory. I started running in March and have lost almost 40 pounds and am…
  • Hate to say it, but I'm around a gallon a day!
  • Im In!! Took me longer to figure out the exercise ticker than it did to run all of these miles! 10 on Thursday, 4 on Saturday and just finished 6 this morning. I am super excited to have this as a motivator!
  • I ran 9 miles for the first time yesterday....normally do 7 on Mondays and Wednesdays and 5 on Thursdays and Saturdays. I am inadvertently training I suppose. I need to find a half to sign up for, but am worried about running in the cold weather as I have terrible asthma that is cold weather induced. I am not sure what my…
  • I am the human owned by 3 boxers, one white, one fawn and one reverse brindle. We just rescued a pit/boxer mix that is black. I have a very lively household to say the least!
  • I started out running with music, but its so hot here i am soaking wet with sweat and the ear plugs won't stay in. I am constantly having to adjust them and paying attention to that. I have been running without anything for the last month and I don't miss the music at all.
  • That is one beautiful dog! Your pitt mix is like mine in the fact they don't do well outside in hot temps. They just cannot cool down. I have gone from walking mine for 3+ miles to 15 min maximum. Fingers crossed for cooler weather too!
  • Grilled tilapia for me with cauliflower mash and mixed greens with tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and balsamic vinegarette!
  • Good EARLY morning! Got up in the dark this morning and ran around my subdivision for 60 minutes. I only got 2 other days in this week, so I made myself try to carch up! Hope everyone is ok and out of the storms's way.
  • I run at M, W, Th, and S. I run 6-7 miles on Mon and Wed. Th is usually just 4 and Sat is 5. The days off in between will great increase your mileage and 'fresh legs' on the days you do! Good Luck!
  • I get it off and on with seemingly no consisitency. It sucks! MIne 'seems' to be related to overdoing it with running, an extreme heel scrub pedicure and flip flops (which I live in). I started to roll my foot over a tennis ball for a couple of minutes at a time and its been about a month since I have had any pain. I would…
  • I used to be an addict too. I drink iced tea instead now (only in the am hours....after that I am strictly water) I made this change about 3 months ago. I really thought I missed it, until I got a diet coke with lunch last week and could not even drink it. It was SO sweet and sugary and tasted SO strong to me. I think I…
  • Love this post! I have 3 boxers and 1 pit/boxer mix.(Yes that is the mix in the pic!) They love to go outside, but my seniors don't like to be out in this heat. My 5 year old however is another story! Tired dogs = perfect dogs:)
  • I eat chicken tikka or masala with half rice and half paneer spinach. If my calculations are right, I am only in the 5-600's. Not too bad for eating out in my opinion!
  • I have the exact same problem! I am still using the same sports bras I used 15 pounds ago. I had no problems until about 2 weeks ago, so I am not sure if its the weight loss and now there is more 'movement.' Or it could be I have gone from running 3 miles to 6+ miles a couple times a week. I have been using cocoa butter…
  • We all have bad days and regrets. With that being said, you accept it and move on. The guilt from my bad choices ( eating an entire bag of breadsticks from the pizza place on Saturday night or not running that 4th day last week) eats me alive. I am still upset with myself for both of those things last week and will use…
