half training question
Half marathon number two is next Sunday. had a great training routine going on, or so I thought...hit a brick wall, I was over training, well over cross training...I had to take almost 3 full weeks off to rid myself of the total muscle soreness and fatigue I had. Did my first run in three weeks today, a relatively easy…

I have tried to wear it for a few minutes as suggested to get it accustomed to my heart rate, but many times as I start to exercise (anything from a hike this am to a run) it jumps to an outrageous number…

I've been feeling blahish lately, in…

4/5 days off training plan for injury
How do I get back into my schedule? The back story: I bruised the front of my foot, in between ankles, 11 days ago. Last Wed it became increasingly painful to run, then hurt all the time. Have a hematoma there, can feel it, this is where pain radiates from, and travels about 5 inches up. I did go out Friday, but was 3…

Looking for some new friends :-)
Hey all, looking for some more friends/support, as I head down the road toward the last 10-15 pounds, and feeling awesome on the beach this summer, and in general every day life! Not just diet/exercise support, bonding over life in general. I am married to a wonderful man as we raise our three amazing kids in upstate NY.…
