You are moving and that is what matters!!! Way to go !

If you Search Shin Splints on the Internet, there are lots of articles on this subject!

So. Today. I'm in Week 5, Day 1. Super Cold out (40 degrees), high altitude. Which I am used to. 2nd running session and my right side was killing me. It's from lack of oxygen. I was so stiff running today because of the cold. Major stitch in the Side. Started walking and breathing deep. Not through your mouth. Through your diaphragm. Hold your tummy and breathe through your chest with your mouth closed.
 
Do this a few times a day too and this will help. I set a timer for 3 x a day and breathe deep for a few minutes. At first you will get dizzy but it will subside. Do you you realize how much we don't breathe DEEP????? It will increase your metabolism too. Breathe in , out. Breathe in 3 times, let it out the same way. 3 times in, blow out. keep doing it. Also breathe in, hold, hold, hold, let out. Look up Oxycise. It works. We never use our lungs to capacity.
 
Are you sitting here ? Are you breathing?, not deep enough EH??? Now breathe deep. It oxygenates the blood. Which increased circulation, which increases metabolism. Try it.

Hi Rachel,
 
It is perfectly fine if you can't finish. Try the best you can and your mind will give up before your body will. Repeat the days you can't do it, and don't move on yet. Proud of you. You can do it. Don't give up. Keep us posted here.

I cannot live without my wireless headphones, no wires, yay!

I like both. Treadmill propels you forward so i prefer an incline. Weather outside is bad, i love the indoors.

Yes, take it slow at first.   Eating healthy is key and will aid in weightlosS.
 
As we age, our metabolism slows down and I know that one myself...   REV it up with protein and exercise and it should melt off.
 
Good Luck and we are here for you!

You are doing great.   Our minds will give up before our bodies do!   You can do this!!!!!

Hey Maizie,
 
I am huge water drinker. Lots a day.
 
These mineral waters, idk. I just;ike plain water. If i am not feeling good, then maybe??
 
I am curious to what others think??
 
I believe in an alkaline body and therefore love vinegar, lemons, etc.... But i will not add them to my water. Its just me.
 
I would rather eat a Lemon, Drink vinegar, etc.... Than touch my water. Not even fruit. Unless i am on vacation.
 
How do you like it?? This is fun and intersting. Hugs.

I run like you do Mim in the country. I run facing traffic so they can see me.
 
One time while running, i had my earbuds in and music blaring, man was I embarrassed to turn around and see them driving slowly because I did not hear them. Oops.
 
Now i face traffic!!!! For my safety!!
 
Happy Running!!
