Am I ready for a 10K? I need advice.
Hi all. I have been running (jogging) now for about 6 months which is the first time in my life I have ever even attempted to be a runner. I am a 34 year old female and have been able to improve my stamina and distance with running greatly. (And have lost 25 pounds too which is AWESOME!) My weekly average is about 32 miles…

P90X or Insanity?
Which would you recommend for toning and dropping 10-15lbs in 3 months? I need something more than what I am doing now. But want to know which is the best route before spending all that money!

I'm back and totally depressed!
I was a regular on My Fitness Pal in 2010 and lost 25 pounds and was a workout aholic! Life was good, I was feeling amazing, and was the healthiest I had been in years. I started running and even finished 3-1/2 marathons which I never thought possible. I have worked out and ran EVERY SINGLE DAY for the past 2 years (since…

1/2 Marathon tomorrow! Here we go again!
Oh boy, I did it to myself again. I signed up for another 1/2 marathon for TOMORROW! My first was in 05/10 which was harder than I thought it would be. I had one of those bad running days with side cramps, hip pain, very hot weather, lots of walk breaks, but finished in 2 hrs and 27 min which wasn't bad for my first time.…

10 Nautical Mile Race/ 11.5 miles 4 days away!
Here we go again. I had a crazy idea to run another race and now we are 4 days away and I am panicking! I completed my first 1/2 marathon 13.1 miles in May which was a HUGE accomplishment for me since I was never a runner. My time was slow, 2 hrs, 29 min for the 1/2 marathon but I finished and got a medal! So now I felt…

Help! Working out a ton & gaining weight!
I am so confused....... and depressed! I have been working out more than I ever have in my life for the past year and a half. Last Feb. I started running to burn calories and ended up losing 15lbs pretty quickly. Since 02/10, I have run EVERY SINGLE DAY- 535 days straight! My daily amount varies between 4-6 miles on…

I completed my first 1/2 marathon!
Well I did it. It was even harder than I thought it would be but I finished! The race was yesterday morning and it turned out to be at least 75 degrees which was much warmer than I would have liked. I started off strong but out of the blue got a side cramp at mile 3 which luckily went away. Just before my 6 my hip was…

Just signed up for my 1st 1/2 Marathon next month!
Hi all, I started running last Feb (when I wasn't even able to run to the end of my block) and now have actually had a couple long runs that have reached 10 miles (with some walk breaks.) So, I have officially signed up for my first 1/2 marathon which is coming up on Sunday, 5/22 and I am absolutely terrified! It is…

Runners- Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11?????
Hi all, I was fitted at a professional running store today for the very first time and apparently I have a moderate pronate when I land. They recommended Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11 for women. Does anyone have these? What are you opinions? I am training for my first 1/2 marathon so the shoes need to be perfect! :) Thanks for…

I did it! I ran 365 days straight!!
Sorry to be the annoying one to toot my own horn but I have to share this huge accomplishment! I have never been one to exercise every single day but I was desperate to get back in shape so that was exactly what I committed to February 2010. I started running on 2/15 and ran every single day for the next 365 days! Total…
