How are you guys even getting a forecast this far in advanced? There are 11 days left thats more than twice the 5 day future forecast

You're the EXACT opposite of me by the sounds of it, I'm cautious but maybe to a fault. :D Good luck listening to your body. I know it may seem hard, especially if you're accustom to ignoring it for future gains but it sounds like you need to start listening to it now and have .. can I say.. too muc...

Thanks everyone! This has actually been very helpful! I havent felt the need for water yet but my runs are getting longer and longer so I figured I would ask just in case.

I'll look up that article Darth Tater thanks!

I was never a huge fan of peanut butter, I think I resented my mom for making me eat so many PB&J sandwiches as a kid. BUT my boyfriend loves the stuff.. anyone ever tried PB and cheese? Yeah.. its one of his favourites. Anyways, I'm growing on it again and I'm even buying almond butter and haze...

I have a condition called hyperhydrosis which causes me to sweat more than normal, luckily contained in certain areas of my body. Its contained to my feet and I'm being treated for other areas (underarms) so that is not a concern. What I am concerned about is my water intake and how often I need to ...

Oh see I just thought it was because they were pretty and see-through

The ones that are not safe are the hard plastic ones. So if you have a squeezy sports bottle, it is my understanding you should be fine... http://www.care2.com/greenliving/which-plastics-are-safe.html That is a general guide.. although there are subtypes within each number range. One of the debates...

I don't take anything... you can tell I only run shorter distances right now lol. But my water bottle of choice right now is an all purpose nalgene bottle: http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441772295&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302696609&bmUID=120830347...

I received my tattoos today and my patches yesterday but wasn't able to make it online. Thank you very much!!!

Received my hat yesterday and its perfect!!!! Thank you!

Wow! It just goes to show you that what really counts is if your mind is up to it! She was really struggling but still kept pumping those arms and keeping her feet up with them. WOW!

I have a fair bit of Jack Johnson on my list and have to admit that I hit skip when I'm running. Me too, I try to open with him in my warm up instead. ;) I like Staple it together though. Love the beat! The worst one I have on my list is Leaving on a Jet plane..actually thats probably not the worst...

Just sent in the money for 1 white hat. I'm awaiting the next order for clothing in my size

If you need me to write the pay pal email address to confirm just let me know. I'm assuming the message that comes with it will suffice though.

I don't believe what the current status of forefoot running vs heel striking in elite runners has very little to do with which one is a more effective method. It's just data, and you can interpret it however you want. You can easily say by reading this data that, oh theres a lot less forefoot strike...

Yay! Thank you!! I cant wait to see them. Oh and by the way, this forum is awesome

I'm confused about the location of the pain. Do you mean it's deep inside (like almost in your butt) or on the front (like the hip flexor?). Yes near the front so I'm assuming that area. Anatomy lessons are lost on me until I become very comfortable with an area of interest so you'll have to excuse...

What type of stretches do you do after your runs? I probably should note that I felt the pain while running this time.. nothing big but it was there while running. I do the first 6 here minus the shin stretch, plus the groin stretch.. I think I cant tell by this picture: http://www.spinalhealth.net...

I'm not sure how it works right now but heres my general two cents: I personally believe anyone who places in an accomplished race should be put under scrutiny, regardless of age. As for testing all qualifiers for events like the Boston in order to minimize doping.. well why not random drug testing?...

Wa? Really? I'm confused how.. guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow morning to figure that one out.

I.m sure that's a typo and she meant 3!!

Haha I'm sure it is too

So I'm experiencing a little bit of pain in my hip following my run this afternoon. I had similar hip pain awhile ago but brushed it off as something unrelated but now I'm not so sure. Is hip pain a common running condition. The pain is located in my left inner hip area. I'm a little confused as to ...

I guess I'm lucky I almost always wear the built in bras that come with my tops from lulu.. and I think I have a Nike one as well. If I don't happen to wear one of those I have a couple cheap sportsbras that my sister gave to me cause they were too small on here lol. Where I get annoyed is when I ha...

I want to have a border collie, I absolutely love their energy, but until then.... wanna borrow mine? Move here and I would love to :lol: Border Collies - be sure you know what it is you want. Lots of energy and such a clever little mind that will keep itself occupied with mischief unless you keep ...
