Hypothyroid
So I just found out recently that I have hypothyroid. Some things associated with it: lack of energy, weight gain, slow metabolism, etc. So it was kind of a sigh of relief when I found out there was something actually holding me back from losing weight. However, it does suck to know something is wrong with you and you have…

Leg pain from running
So I've been running for awhile now. Well more of a jog/walk. ;) I have overcome shin splints. But I can't seem to kick this soreness I get on the inside of my legs right above my ankles. I stretch before and after my runs. Don't know if theres a stretch that can target that particular area, but I was just wondering if…

Warrior Dash
So I was just on another message board reading about the Warrior Dash race. I'm getting very excited reading all these posts. My husband I just signed up for our very first WD race. I'm just curious, for those of you doing it, are you dressing up? I'm trying to come up with costume ideas, that won't be too hard to run in.…

How young is too young?
My son has always showed an interest in running. He even does run club at school. I don't think he does more then a mile at a time though. But he has gone on two mile runs (walk/jog) with me. So I'm wondering what age is too young for him to enter a 5k with me? I'm not a fast runner and would stay with him the whole time,…

Logging miles
Anyone interested in logging your miles? Maybe weekly miles? I try to run/walk 3-6 times a week, depending on how busy my schedule is. You can log in how far you've walked, jogged, or ran (or a combination of all three) Maybe every Sunday?

First Half Marathon
I'm doing my first half on 4/1. Anyone have any good suggestions as far as training goes? I've googled a couple, but would love to hear from someone's own experience what they did and what really helped. Thanks!!

Favorite food
I have trouble making healthy meals that I actually like. (Or my kids actually like) I am a picky eater but am trying to come around and try new things. Just wondering, what are your favorite meals you like to make? Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even snacks. I need all the help I can get, cause I seem to keep going back and…

Vet tech
So this has nothing to do with weight loss, health, etc... Just wondering if there are any vet techs/assistants out there. I've been thinking about working with animals for some time now, but I was going to wait until all my kids were in school. My youngest is 18 months. So I'm just curious to know how you like your job?…

Willpower
So how do you keep yourself from falling off the wagon? What helps you from sabotaging yourself and all the hard work that you've done? I'm like the old cliche, work hard and play harder. Meaning, I will give my work outs and healthier eating habits 110% during the week, but on the weekends I will self destruct. And seeing…

Running on a treadmill
Just curious, what speed do you run at on your treadmill? I know they aren't all set the same, but I do about 3.0-3.3. Sometimes 3.5, but it's challenging. (Which probly equals a brisk walk for most.) But I hear people talk about doing 6.0 and what not. Is it cause I'm SHORT (5'0 )? I can do 4.5, but that is me pushing to…
