Training for my first 1/2 marathon...any words of advice?

I do agree with the others about the running shoes. You should check out L.A. Gear or champions, I think you can get them at payless. The two other important things are going into a room that was freshly sprayed with berry spray, once you have taken in a nose full immediately run to a fan and hug it. I do this all the time for all the marathons I have run, and it works like a charm!!!!Training for my first 1/2 marathon...any words of advice?
train slowly and gradually


wear in your shoes before you run.


make sure you run outside and inside


enjoy it.


try running with someone


or have some music or something with you. you will hit the wall just be prepared.


its very emotional. both highs and lows. you will need all the energy you can get so eat a good breakfast whilst training. and enjoy itTraining for my first 1/2 marathon...any words of advice?
YAY for you! I'm training for my 1st marathon. It took me forever to get the breathing and pacing down. My advice would be great running shoes, don't sprint your first mile, don't give up and just concentrate on finishing the marathon. Try not to worry about the finishing time (like I do....lol) I sprint the first mile too....LOL (I can't help it....ugh!)





Let me know how it goes!!!!!!


I'm going to add you to my contacts so I can find out how you did! Good luck!!!!

I recommend you get a very good pair of shoes.


Get some running shorts and pants and make sure to buy some Body glide





Seach the web for a good 16or so week training program

Make sure you take water and a gel on your long runs and take the gel about 30 min into your run





Visualize how you will feel when you go through the finish line full of energy and adrenalin!!
The biggest mistake by far novice runners make is training too hard too quickly.





Your cardio stamina will ramp up quickly -- much quicker than your body can physically adjust to the pounding and rigors of distance running.





People get hurt because as their cardio ramps up quickly they feel like they can run much farther than the body is ready for. That is when most runners get hurt.





Follow the training schedule and DON'T exceed it, no matter how good you feel.
eat right and dont drink any alcholic beverages.... drink lots of water too
Before the race, make sure to get to the course early and familiarize yourself with the course and water stations along the way, particularly if its hot. Eat well and get plenty of sleep the night before, and make sure to eat breakfast the day of the race.





During the actual race, start slowly so that you don't overexert yourself right away. It will get very hard at some point, but trust your training and know that you can get through it. Some people like to recite a mantra (some short, meaningful phrase) over and over when it gets difficult to help them through.





After the race, keep walking and stretching, and make sure to savor your accomplishment! Celebrate by going out to dinner or doing something you enjoy. Good luck!

Love sucks! Words of advice?

And I am so upset, we broke up just before christmas and i just cant seem to get over it, i have lost so much weight. im 20 and we were together for 9 months, and we had a house. any words of advice or comfort? xxxxLove sucks! Words of advice?
Ouch, I was in a similar situation a few years ago, I really thought I would never get over him, but you do , it just takes time. xx.Love sucks! Words of advice?
Hey, i broke up with my boyfriend in October, we were together over 3 years, i love him loads, i was going through a bit of a crisis and broke up with him, and now i want him back.





Depends if you want to get over him - if so, just keep going on with your life things will ease.





If you want him back, if you want something bad enough you'll probably get it. Just keep working at it, and be patient, thats what i'm doing.
yes, you're only 20, don't see it as the end of it all, you have your whole life ahead of you and things will only get better, make sure you learn from your relationship, what went wrong? what would you have liked to be different? don't jump into another relationship, you can use this as a chance to be fussy about your next :)
Awwww poor you, i wish i could invent a tablet to take away the pain i'd be rich !


You just have to let it run its course and tell yourself that it wasn't meant to be. I really believe that everything we go through in life makes us the people who we become and prepares us for whats coming next. don't think that he doesn't care he does men have different emotions to women and will deal with it differently.


get out and visit some good friends and people that make you happy build up a social life which doesn't include going to places where you will bump into him life will get better i promise.xx
Hey, I know what you mean, sometimes things are so hard. Sending you love and best wishes, hope that you feel better soon. You really will get over it at some point. Emma :x:
I won't say you'll get over it quickly, but eventually you will! You'll still think of him for a while, you'll miss him terribly, but things will get easier
Its not the end of the world and there are plenty of fish in the sea. Move on,bring your pole and start fishing.
wow u had moved in together n evrything maybe things got a bit much??





time is a great healer
Ew so you were a fat graser before? Well I wouldn't risk staying with a woman who was fat, becuase once christmas comes around again with the big turkey, she will just get fat again.

Plz any words of advice? I Am desperate to get pregnant?

Hi people... I have been trying to conceive since the past 10 months, but in vain. So, i went to the doctor %26amp; she prescribed me two doses of clomid on the second day of my menstural cycle, to be continued for 5 days. Also, from the 3rd day she prescribed FSH injection to be taken daily for about 9 days %26amp; get an u/s to see the follicular growth. if the follicle size reaches 18-20 mm I was to take Pregnyl injection, to eject the egg out .i went about with the prescription. but my husband had been relocated to another city %26amp; i went along with him. For my u/s i visited another doctor.She checked me %26amp; told me I have too many follicles many of them dominant and mature. she would not prescribe pregnyl, or else i'd be hyperstimulated, said I shouldn't have taken clomid and FSH together %26amp; i may get PCO if I take FSH again next month in case i dont conceive. sadly my husband %26amp; I couldnt keep sex regular as he had lot of travelling. Got my periods and i Cried. should i try all over? plz advice tyPlz any words of advice? I Am desperate to get pregnant?
Yes. Your body's overresponding to the fertility treatment, which is an excellent sign. It takes a long time to be pregnant, for the average ';normal'; couple with no difficulties or treatment it takes 6 months. Expect it to take a long time, but find someone to talk to about your feeling - it is a frustrating, lengthy experience at the end of which you don't know what's going to happen. But you're doing this for the right reasons, and that's what matters. Good luck.Plz any words of advice? I Am desperate to get pregnant?
Just keep trying, it will happen if its meant to be.


If you are still trying after at year, you might want to consider IVF.


Good luck
if you're sure you want a baby and are ready for a baby, keep trying to have one. make sure, though, that you aren't taking or being prescribed anything that could endanger you or your baby, should you become pregnant. be very careful with things like that.
Wow....I think you need to slow down. Why would they prescribe you Clomid and the injections right off the bat? It takes a long time to make a baby. More than 10 months sometimes. Are you tracking your ovulation? Trying at home things? A baby ain't gonna happen if your hubby is not there during your LGH Surge. Did you even do any fertility testing? An HSG? The Clomid Challenge Test - before starting Clomid? Sperm Analysis? Fibroid check? Anything?
