Such awesome advice. I'm doing a 10k in a week and started up with my gym program again, which includes various squats, core, burpee's (even though I hate them), balancing exercises, and I notice a HUGE difference with my running. I wish I would have incorporated my gym program right from the get go!

I never get headaches, but would get them after my run if I wasn't properly hydrated. I make sure I drink some water before and lots after my run and no longer get headahes. I also make sure I each peanut butter, or yogurt after my run to help repair my muscles.

Nah....it's nice and controlled, it just doesn't sound like it is :laugh:

Believe me...I'm running slow. Even when I ran alot, I never held any sort of conversation to begin with. If I ran any slower, I'd be walking.

40 years old here...Didn't mind my 40th B-Day, I had an issue with my 25th for some odd reason. I don't act my age, so I'm not too worried about the number anyhow. Feel free to add me :o)

I'm 40!! Don't feel or act it though lol. Feel free to add me :o)

I can't recall the exact reason, but whenever you enter a strength exercise, calories aren't indicated. Maybe enter it into the Cardiovascular group where you can enter Calories. :o)

Awesome job!!! You should be very proud of yourself. My friend told me the same thing when I was doing the app, she said she never stops running, she just runs slower and then works on her speed after the fact.

Couch to 5k app. It's the one I was telling you about that I started to get back into running again.

I'm a fast walker to begin with, so I start at 5.5km as well for my warm up and then walk at 6.4km. During the C25K program I run at 9 to 9.5km, I know I should be slightly faster, but speed will come with time. I'm focusing on finishing the App first and then I will work on my speed.

Welcome, I've been here since 2010, left for a while and came back December 2011...for the long haul. Even though you may have bad days sometimes, tomorrow is always another day and one day won't make or break your weight loss journey. I tell myself that often, as it too my a while to get completely back into it!

MFP is a great site, with alot of wonderful people ready and willing to support each other.

I know what you mean, I finally decided enough was enough. I joined up years ago and forgot what an awesome support system we have on MFP, everyone is really motivational and supportive. This is it for me, I'm going full force!!

Sounds like your'e back on track, in full force. Moves are so difficult and stressful, and it's always hard to keep eating and exercise in check. I fell off the wagon for a very long time, but this is it for me, I'm back this time and no leaving, I love MFP. :smile: Best of luck, you've taken the first step, you're here…
