Push-ups Question
I decided to do the 100 push-ups challenge again. The first time I wasn't able to do ONE regular push-up, but today was able to do TEN! It's been a few months since I did the challenge the first time, and I didn't finish it, and did modified, knee push-ups. My problem/question is this: I didn't lower myself very far,…

Running Question
If I don't get a chance to actually go on a course and see it before a race, does anyone have advice about how to deal with the "not knowing" where I am (race-wise)? I have my gps, but it's a pain to try to run and look at it and not trip or get ran over... It just throws me off, mentally, not having a clue how far I've…

Why pay money to RUN?!?!?
Today one of my senior boys was talking about how crazy it was that people actually paid money to run. He said he MIGHT run if someone paid HIM to do it, but no way would he pay someone else so he could run. I used to be him!!! lol And now I'm on the other side of the fence, and I :heart: LOVE:heart: it. So my question to…

Advice for someone who runs/trains with her dogs?
I always take my two dogs with me when I run in the early mornings. For one, it is great exercise for them, but it also makes me feel safer as I have to go through some pretty dark streets before I get to the college campus I run on. Their leashes are the retractable kind, so they can get a bit of a lead, and I'm used to…

I need tips, tricks, and techniques for downhill running
I'm just starting out and I have bad knees. I popped the left kneecap out when I slipped on some snow my freshman year of college and I've had problems with it ever since.

Low-cal recipes using apples??
I've been trying to find something to do with apples that are just starting to get soft. I can't really stand to eat them raw, and that's about the only way I like them unless they're in bread, which is usually high calorie/carb. I've searched through a lot of recipes for something EASY and low cal. Any suggestions? Before…

I just began doing this (again) a little over three weeks ago, and I'm currently at 285ish. I have a bad left knee from popping the kneecap out of place when I was 19 and slipped on some snow. My right knee isn't so great either, from having to carry this weight and make up for the left knee a lot of times. It doesn't…

I'm a 34yr high school English teacher/ drama coach/ cheerleading coach/ academic team coach... yeah, I pretty much do it all! And I love it, but it's time I started loving myself again, or I'm going to get burned out, I'm afraid. I used to be extremely involved in church, and that's slid away, big time. I am a Christian,…
