    That sounds like a pretty neat tool. And good for you for getting going. What are your goals?

    I did get up and did a cardio interval training DVD...plus a short stint on abs and back. Man, I'm out of shape. But it is a start. Now I gotta work on what I'm eating. And I will.

    I started out with simple goals for me...like to burn 4000 calories in 4 weeks, that one makes me nervous don't know if I will make that one...to do 10 runs in 4 weeks, that's an easy one for me unless life happens and I'm unable to workout...to run 14 miles in 4 weeks, that is also an easy one for me unless life happens. My next goal is to train for a half marathon, because I'm signed up for the Chicago rock and roll half marathon in August of 2010.

    Whats a Nike sportsband?

    Sounds like I need to hang out with you winners more...I've got to get after it and that is my plan. I have my goals for exercising and will be setting up my ellipitical this afternoon. I am going to do strength training with bands...all I have at the moment. But I'm ready!! And going to schedule that fill...

    It's a sport watch that has a usb flashdrive that you plug into your computer and you can then upload your exercise, calories burned, and other goals that you set for yourself to your page. I know where my husband bought mine (dicks sporting goods) but you can even go to Nike+.com and look at them. I don't like nike shoes, so my sweet husband found a place on the internet that sells the pouch for the sensor and then you just lace the pouch to your shoelaces. I used it yesterday and have now figured out that my treadmill lies about the distance I run. They say the sportband is like 96% accurant right out of the box. I can believe it, cause like I said the distance on the treadmill is so far off, compaired to the sportband. I'm glad that this is what I wanted, and I will have to say that this gift is a keeper. I mean right now I want to meet my goals that I have placed into it for me.

    The hubby built me a workout tent sort of room in the garage, sharing the space with the harley, because he always keeps heat in there for the harley. I guess I should be nice and say thank you for sharing his space with my treadmill, but he told me don't get crazy and fly of the back of the treadmill because I would knock over the harley. Even with heat it's cold getting from the house to the tent. I call it a tent it's a room, the size about half of our 2 car garage with plastic walls that way in the summer we can pull the harley out and take down the whole thing till next winter. I wish Santa would bring me a bigger house so I could have a room inside for me and my treadmill...not going to happen...well maybe when I get rid of my kids I will have a room to call my own...lol

    Well I doing better!!! I'm now able to eat things that should never touch my lips, so I have to go in and get a fill. The stress is still high, but I only have 2 weeks left of class before I get a break for a couple of weeks. Haven't had a lot of time to run, and it makes me crazy to not be able to do that. I didn't have to go to the in-laws for Thanksgiving, not because of homework, I had the flu that whole week, so I guess you can say I was thankful for the flu. Now I need to get whatever is going around for Christmas, so I can miss that also.

    Bought a pair of compression running pants for cold weather, they arrived yesterday, will give them a try tonight.

    CW-X Conditioning Wear

    Supposedly they reduce muscle effort by 26%. Sounds like a lot. I wouldn't have been caught dead wearing something like this a year ago.

    I love my compression running tights. I have 3 pairs, I bought them because there was no way I was going to run in the garage on the treadmill in the cold...they keep you real warm. Love them

    Hello everyone:

    I'm doing good in my opinion, but the Doctor has another one. See I'm only eating(drinking) 1 muscle milk-regular (300 calories) a day. I'm not hungry, and I just seem to have to much going on in my life right now to even force myself to drink or eat more. The Doctor told me Thursday that if I don't start drinking at least 2 muscle milks a day, he will take out my restriction and have to put me in the hospital. Yeah yeah I know but guess what I'm not listening...I'm a little slow in the head...lol. I'm just not hungry. I get in all my Water and sometimes more, depending if I'm in class or not. I'm back to running since the stress fracture and I'm loving it. I'm happy for that because running keeps my mental stress to a lower level sometimes. I learned one thing though when the Doctor asks how you doing, don't unload on him because then they want to give you pills and a phone number to another doctor. I'm not crazy...just stressed with life like everyone else exspecially this time of year...I hate the holidays and always have, my husbands family are mean and nasty people. Thank god I can't have Thanksgiving with them because I will have to much homework, so I guess you can say I'm Thankful for homework...yippie!!!

    I've only tried choc flavored muscle milk, are the other flavors good? Do you even mix anything with it? Becky

    Yeah there is more flavors of muscle milk and there is even a lite version. I have tried some of the flavors, and have some are just not that good but i end up having to drink them anyway because of the price you pay you don't want to just throw them out.

    yesterday:

    1 regular Vanilla Carmel Iced coffee w/cool whip and carmel drizzle-from Gloria Jean's

    1 banana flavored muscle milk (regular - i don't drink the lite)

    what i considered a fast walk, is 3.0 and honestly im not sure how fast i was going when i was running, cause i switched my view to my clock so i could time my run for 60 sec. Every now and then i would drop down to like 2.5-2.7 to give myself a little break. and i am definitly paying attention to my breathing, that is one of the main things i think about.

    I would run/jog at that 3.0 until you feel like your able to up the speed. But at that speed you should be able to run continously, nonstop. After being able to do that for a while then you should turn up your speed. That's what I was told, and that's how I've been doing it myself. Not intervels are a different story those are sprints and I myself am not a sprinter, I can but I don't like them.

    Okay so i started on my treadmill last week, i have not been able to follow the c25k, so i am doing what i can. please give your opinions and recomendations as you see fit.

    my first day on the treadmill i did 20 min, could only do one stint of running, but walked very fast for the remainder of the time, then second day did the same, and my third day i added one more stint of running.

    now last night was my 4 day on my treadmill, and i did 2 miles in 45 min, with about 3 small sprints mixed in, am i on the right track or do i need to step up my game or what, i am trying hard i really am and i do not want to hurt myself, which my feet are really killing me today, lol, i guess i need some better sneaks.

    i hope i am doing ok please let me know what i can do better!!!:tongue2:

    I run on the treadmill, That is where I started also on the treadmill...haven't moved outside yet still nervous about the outside.

    This is what I was told once by a trainer, the speed that is your fastest walk, that is the speed before you actually have to run...that fast walking speed is the speed you should be jogging at, that way if you need a walking break you can still walk it. As you get stronger, you will be able to up your speed to a new faster walking speed...it's just a progress. Oh and remember to breathe, breathing right also helps. My personal favorite is my ipod music also because music tempo helps. But just remember to just do the best you can, because that's all that matters.
