Nike+ sensor with ipod touch
My generic MP3 player died yesterday, and I thinking of investing in an ipod touch for a replacement. I do not have Nike shoes, but I see online you can buy a Nike+ sensor with pouch to attach to any running shoes and then be able to use the Nike+ software on the touch. Has anyone done this? I am not very electronically…

Ok to take a break??
Anyone else ever taken a little break from running -maybe a week or two in hopes of enjoying it again? I've been running for about 5 miles now and feel I have gotten a bit bored with it. I'm doing some other type of cross training activity at least once a week, but my runs have become monotonous! Was thinking of taking a…

Couldn't do it... now what?
Literally could not run this morning. Only made it .4 miles before giving up and coming home. Everything hurt/aches from major strength training yesterday, plus that TOM should start today. Trying not to be too hard on myself but I really wanted to have a good run today.

alcohol's affect on running performance?
I had ONE beer last night with dinner, and this morning could only run half (3.25 miles) of my usual 6+ mile morning run. Does anyone else have this problem? I know it's the alcohol because this isn't the first time this has happened to me. I guess I will have to give up alcohol completely for the time being~!

Help - first running injury advice please!
I "pulled" something in my calf about 3 miles into my 6 mile run this morning. It hurts terribly when I put any weight on it. I tried to push through it, but ended up limping back home. I'm alternating ice and heat. Anything else? I'm so frustrated - I was on a great pace, the weather was gorgeous, and I felt fantastic.…

Running in Siesta Key, FL
Is anyone familiar with running in the Siesta Key, FL area? Are there lots of sidewalks along major roads or should I plan on only running on the smaller neighborhood roads? Any input you can offer is appreciated. Thanks!

NSV....
Date night tonight with my husband - I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!! Seems like the only things that fit me now are workout clothes and the few church appropriate things I have purchased along the way. Hmmmm.....

Logging jogging/running time
Does anyone know why there is no 11min mile option to log jogging in cardio? How would I get one added?

First 5K 5 days away....
My first official 5K is this Saturday the 9th.... While I've run the distance numerous times on the track at the Y, and around my neighborhood, for some reason I am REALLY nervous. I ran it this morning in 33 minutes (my average). I plan on running it again tomorrow, taking a step class on Wednesday, running it on…

What to do after a long run?
I ran 5.4 miles this morning - my longest before that was only 4.05 - so besides it being an NSV, it's a major goal accomplished. But I am feeling sore already! I drank some milk and ate a bunch of protein when I got home (about a half hour after the run), and then I took a couple of advil about an hour later. What should…

gaining weight as I gain muscle?
My first 8 lbs or so came off so easily - as did the first 12 or 13 inches. Now, I seem to be losing inches/flab, and definitely getting in shape, but I'm gaining a little weight (about 2 lbs over the past 3 weeks). Could I be gaining muscles mass? I do cardio 6 days a week, and strength straining 4-5 days a week. I have a…

I ran a 5K!
I ran (ok, jogged) the equivalent of a 5K on the track at the YMCA this morning - and I jogged the whole thing in 38 minutes - slow I know, but I didn't have to walk any of it. My goal was to be able to do this by Memorial Day, so I beat my goal by over 2 weeks! I am so so so so stoked. These NSVs are worth so much more to…

NSVs
Yesterday before I left for the gym, I packed a change of clothes for after my workout/shower, grabbing a pair of shorts out of my drawer and a shirt. After my workout and shower, I put the shorts on. They were HUGE - so huge that I had to stop and buy a new pair before I could finish running my errands because they looked…

Shoes affect running form?
For about 6 weeks I was running with my everyday sneakers (Asics cross trainers that I've had for at least a year or so). I had gotten to where I could run 3 miles without pain, etc. Granted, I was slow, but I was doing it. I decided after reading on this forum, to invest in real running shoes, and to use them only for…
