Las Vegas Rock and Roll-December 2, 2012 my first 1/2
I've been running (again) since January, and in March a friend asked if I would want to consider the Vegas Rock and Roll- so I began training for the 1/2. I've lost a total of 24 pounds since Christmas 2011, survived two running injuries and manage to have three months where I ran 100 miles each. I had set a lofty goal of…

Injury 7 weeks ago, and rest heart rate has increased
I tried to google this, but can't seem to find any answers. I do have a Dr. appt today for my hip injury and will ask the Dr. but I was wondering if anyone here has ideas.

Trochanteric Bursitis, I've got it.
It turns out that I am suffering from Trochanteric Bursitis, the prognosis is good and I'm not super stressed, but am a little dissapointed. I fell a few weeks ago on my right side (hard) and the Dr. advised me to take it down a notch, and I did! However, I have apparently been babying my right side, and put quite a bit of…

New Shoes and calf pain.
I was wearing Brooks Adrenaline (last two years, but the same mileage on them last year, as I did in the first 5 months this year on teh second pair). They went from feeling like heaven to feeling like two bricks, so I went in to get new shoes and was fitted and went through the whole video process again, and now I'm…

Has anyone run the Rock and Roll 1/2 in Vegas?
I just registered for the Rock and Roll 1/2 marathon in Las Vegas (December 2), I'm just wondering what the course is like... is it flat, hilly, mixed. Running in Vegas in December late at night, is it cold? still warm? Anyone have information and experience on the course?

Running Downhill and Hill debate with my husband.
I've been running without pain since February and I started in January. I was running 6 miles and it is a route I've run repeatedly with now problems, this run and many of my others have hills. I normally just run short steps down the hill because I always felt like my ankles would give out. It turns out that my 'wisdom'…

Have you heard of the PWH diet?
I've been losing weight and it is starting to show, and someone asked me if I was doing the HCG diet and I said, "No, I'm on the 'PWH.". This persons said they'd never heard of it. I just told them it means, PLAIN-WORKING-HARD. I thought it was kind of funny, but they were a bit offended. Doesn't anyone else get asked if…
