Finish this sentence: "In the 6 days before I run a big race
Indianapolis Mini is a mere 6 days away (AHHHH!) I've been training for it since November.....probably not as hard as I should have in April due to major changes/ stress at work, but I feel ready. That being said.....what are your tips? Food, sleep, clothes you wear on the day, good music to get yourself ramped up, runs…

Feet falling asleep running?!?!
Alright guys, I'm freaking out. I'm running my first mini in 20 days (Indy, 5/7 - AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!). I've been trying to get the last of my long runs in before the big day, and I keep having the SAME PROBLEM!!!!!! The balls of my feet, the area right below the bases of my toes - keep falling asleep!!! They burn, and tingle,…

Cold Weather & Snow = Running on Treadmills = PAIN!
Runners out there, I need help! I've officially started training for the Indianapolis Mini in May....picking up where I left off in the fall. I'm having no problems with the distances and times right now, but I live in central Ohio and we've been under snow weather for a month now and it's not looking to let up anytime…

Plateau FINALLY gone - THANK YOU!!!
So, I've been weighing myself every Wednesday. The last time I had any kind of measurable loss was 5/19. And actually, that day, I had drank a ton of water through the day to get me through my first 5-mile run that night, so didn't weigh in until Thursday, and was UP 0.2. Then, last week, with another 5-mile run scheduled…

Water Retainage/ Running?
Okay, I know I've seen this topic somewhere.........I think. But I tried searching.........and being the impatient one I am.......gave up. Wednesdays are my normal weigh-in days. But yesterday, I took on the task of running 5 miles for the first time ever - outside, in central OH, where it has been hot and hazy. So I…

5 miles......no problemmmmmmmmmm!
Have been running pretty consistently but pushed myself for 5 miles today. And I did it. I've never felt more proud of myself, and I just had to share it with all of you guys. Granted, yes, I've been working hard at running, but I never could have pushed myself as hard as I did today this time 3 months ago.…

Running "long" distance......need help!
Hi everyone! Okay, so I'm "training" on the nikeplus.com website (y'know, the website that ties to your iPod sensor) for a 10k. I've been running pretty steady over the couple of months, but my max run in that time is about 3.5.......tomorrow, I'm "scheduled" to run 5. I know I know.....not that bad, but more than I've…

My hubby said the other day.........
One of my favorite things to do with him (lol, get your minds out of the gutter, people! :wink: ) is just go put my arms around his waist and let him put his arms around my shoulders and back, and just stand there, snuggling. Well, I was doing that last week, and he goes, "You feel tinier." I about fell over. He's not one…

FRUSTRATED with friends and their "diets"
I'm 26.....4 years (almost) removed from college....but still very close (via email/ facebook since they're in IN and I'm in OH) with my close group of friends - all of us lived together off campus at least one year, and we were all in the same sorority (AOII - Alpha Omicron Pi, if any other of you were members, would love…

Unknown calorie amounts??? HELP!
Hi friends!! Okay, so today, I kind of fell off my little weight-loss wagon :embarassed: (Although I rationalize that it's not as bad as it might have been before because I knew I'd have to be accountable to my food diary!) Anyway, I had a cookie that was from a store bakery that is nowhere in the system (it's a store…

Emotinal Eating
Well, everyone, I'm new to this....on this site for a mere 6 days now, and I'm struggling. It started last night....didn't want to cook; we went out for Mexican. Even though I didn't sit and absentmindedly eat half the bakset of chips like I normally do, and didn't finish my entire meal like I might have last week, I was…

Hey everyone!
Hey all. I guess I should have posted here last Sunday when I joined. I got this link from a friend of mine and have loved the user-friendly setup of the whole thing. I've even had some success (a little bit, anyway)! I live in Cbus, OH and would love to have support from whoever! Thanks and good luck to all :)
