Tunnel to Towers
Learned of this awesome 5k run/walk event when I went to buy my garmin. It's for the Stephen Siller Foundation. Stephen was a NY firefighter who had just finished his shift and was driving home when he heard on his radio about the first plane hitting the towers on 9/11. Instead of continuing home he turned around to head…

Hydrating
I'm just wondering... how much hydrating do all of you do before a 5k in heat and high humidity? I tend to have trouble getting my liquids in most days but before races I really do try to get at least the recommended 8 cups per day for several days before the race. After finishing the Flying Pig 5k I had some dizzyness…

running tip

Running alone

Hi, I'm new here... I'm about 5'1", and bounce in weight between 121 - 123... I'm wanting to lose another 10 lbs... but I am having issues with my belly area.

Endurance Help
I'm working with a personal trainer trying to improve my endurance to run for longer amounts of time. I've had two sessions so far and am not noticing much difference. The routine we do is 2 minutes on treadmill, then 2 minutes on elliptical then 2 minutes on stationary bike. The first session my treadmill speed was 5. The…

weighted hula hoops
Any weighted hula hoop users? I've been using mine for almost a year now. I hoop for anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes each night. But I haven't seen the results that I expected. So I'm just wondering if anyone else has used one with any success?

Adam's County Run with the Amish 5k
Has anyone on here done this 5k? Or live in the area and know the route? I'm just wondering if it's really 'hilly'? And do you know of a nice, clean place to stay near the area for a night?
