I need my glasses to see but my prescription sunglasses were pretty cheap (i got them online). I guess I'm pretty nervous since this is my first 5k, I don't know what to prepare for (other than protecting my car interiors ;) ) I'm doing The Color Run, so by "wet" stations I assume you mean there is no one handing out water…

I just signed up for The Color Run in Austin May 4th! I think I have enough for a team (yay!) I wear prescription glasses (but I have prescription sunglasses), does the color obstruct your view? Also, this is my first 5k, and I am training, but any suggests for a pre-race breakfast? Like carb heavy or go for more protein…

Wow, I never thought of that! I do stretch after my run! There is a station in my gym just for post-work out stretches. I spend a little time in there, have a free post-workout 5 minute massage, come home and do 10-15 minutes of seated stretches focusing on my flexibility. (mostly stuff I did in dance classes since I don't…

Thank you! Tomorrow I will take your advice with my workout!!

I do a 5 minute warm up walk each time. At first I was only doing 30 minutes then I up-ed it to 45 after 3 weeks and now up to 60. Each time though, soreness. After 40 minutes I feel like I can go for hours. just to clarify: after the warm up I was doing 5 minutes jog, 5 minute walk...until the end when I through in a…

"We've been going about this all wrong. This Mr. Stay Puft's okay! He's a sailor, he's in New York; we get this guy laid, we won't have any trouble! " "Mother pus bucket!

I'm new to running and I was wondering about number 3....why? I've been doing 2-3 days in a row and then a day off. Do I need to stop that?

I work in an organic grocery store and I took the classes and training to learn about organics and the procedure we must take when handling organics and although yes they are more expensive and yes they many not be any better than non-organic products. I still feel better buying them. I'm lucky because I get an employee…

Congratulations on your weight loss and good luck with your goals!!!!!

I lost about 50 lbs, couldn't see a difference in the mirror but I took pictures every 10 lbs and I could see the loss. ...but in the reverse: I took a break from weight lost and gained and I could definitely see it in the mirror...

Has your self-esteem improved because you are thinner or is it because you feel you've accomplished something? I had low self-esteem for a long time, I was depressed and tried to lose weight and failed. I believe that if you don't love yourself, a smaller pant size isn't going to change that. A lot of people who try to…

If it weren't for adoption, I would have never been born. My father's mother was adopted. My mother was adopted. AND even then---if my parents hadn't have adopted my siblings, I don't know who'd I'd be today. I can't even think about passing on my crazy genes to child when there are so many children in this world who need…

Oh yeah...

With any risk there is the possibility of failure...but there is no chance of success without a little risk.

One of my best friends from high school got gastric. She was wearing a size 28 (she's 5 foot 1 inch tall) and she lost a lot in a short time and now she's a size 22 and she can't lose more. It does force you to change how you eat because you get fuller faster but eventually you need to start exercising and eating right…
