Hamstring Injury?
Sooo... I have been training for a half marathon in April. Two weeks ago, I went out for my short weekly run (3.65 miles). No biggie. Towards the end of the run, I guess I hit my "second wind," and felt amazing! I sprinted the rest of the way home and felt light as a feather. Later that evening, I noticed the back of my…

Running vent...
Argh! So a little background: I graduated from C25K the first week of November (didn't repeat or skip weeks, no problems, found it moderately challenging) and ran a 5K the day I graduated.

I don't want to prolong my illness any, and I wasn't sure if dieting would do that. I want my body to be able to fight off the illness…

Nausea while exercising?
Hello! So for the past month or so I've been feeling super nauseous after running about 1 mile, and I usually throw up. I'd heard that this was normal for runners, and I just accepted that it was part of the whole bouncing stomach thing, high heart rate, etc.. :sick: But last night at the gym, I was on the elliptical for…

Women only... got a question!
Help! I need to know: do you ladies gain weight while on your period??? I was at 157 a week ago, and then this week I weighed in at 163!!!! There's no way I could have gained 6 pounds in a week since I've been exercising and staying under my calorie goal! The only thing I can think of is that I went on my period. Do you…

Hi! I'm new to this site, but not to dieting...
Hi! I used to be on Shape's Virtual Trainer, but they've been having technical difficulties and I HAVE to have a food/fitness journal!!! Turns out I think I like this site better anyway. :happy: It's a little frustrating having to start from scratch and not being able to see all my progress, but I just keep telling myself…
