During your long run...
Are you using any of the gels or supplements? I have never done anything before and people are telling me to try it but I don't have any way to carry gels/water (I don't have one of those packs). Has anyone done a 1/2 without?

My 1/2 was today
Perfect weather thankfully. A very very hilly route but overall I am thrilled. I ran a 1:59:45 according to their website. Everyone in our group had GPS and they all said that their markers were off so according to my Garmin, I finished at 1:59 but actually ran 3.34 miles :) My legs hurt, I have huge blisters, but I am…

What is something fitness oriented YOU want to do?
Do you have a goal to do a marathon, 1/2, obstacle run, triatholon, 5K, or anything? What are you working towards?

1 week!
Until my 1/2. I am nervous and anxious and excited all together. I am getting mixed info from my friends. I know we taper, but I do more than run (Body Combat, Pump, Step...) so do I need to have a very light exercise week all together? Or can I do a couple of these classes in the beginning of the week? I was going to…

Doing 12 tomorrow...
I seriously swore for years I would never run over a 10K and now that I decided to do the 1/2, every time I go more distance I get very anxious. We have a group going out to do a very hilly 12 miles and I just can't imagine running that. Anyone else going through this same anxiety!?!? I know I put way too much pressure on…

Shoe or just conditioning issue?
I have never had issues with shoes before, but I normally run no more than 4-6 miles. I have started training for a 1/2 and have increased my mileage over the past month. I started wearing my new shoes when I got up to 7. I am not sure if it's the shoe or just my body not being conditioned for this mileage but these past…

Shoe or just conditioning issue?
I posted this in Long Distance running as well--I didn't know where it would get answered so I apologize for the cross posting: I have never had issues with shoes before, but I normally run no more than 4-6 miles. I have started training for a 1/2 and have increased my mileage over the past month. I started wearing my new…

Eating before workout issue
I exercise often and I really struggle with eating near a workout (any kind). I am usually left feeling very sick if I eat close to a workout so basically I just don't. It was never an issue but now I am training for a 1/2 and have a new membership to the gym so I am working out harder and more often than I was and am…

Personal Trainer--need honest feedback
I am currently a SAHM and am looking to get back to work in about a year when my youngest starts school and I have a lot of ideas floating around. I was actually certified as a personal trainer about 7 years ago but never pursued it as a career mainly bc I was overweight and didn't think it was a good idea. I have always…

Let's Hear It!
So I was reading another post about embarrassing "fat" moments, so let's hear some awesome stories about getting fit, losing weight or anything health related. Did someone say something to make you feel proud, were you able to do something you never thought you could, did you show people who doubted you that you are a…

Billy Blanks Cardio Inferno?
Just curious as to whether anyone does this and your thoughts? Especially as it compares to other DVD's (Biggest Loser, Shred, Tae Bo....)
