Hi ShellyC! Thanks for the reply---and thanks to everyone else who provided the encouraging words! Sorry to hear you are injured as well, Shelly. Are you running at all right now or just cross training? That is great you are running the PF Chang's marathon too! I actually live in Wisconsin...

Thanks! Your story is encouraging!!!

Hi Cheetahs...sorry I don't normally post here but was wondering if you had any advice for me? I posted this in the open discussion forum as well, but I know you are the running pros! I'd appreciate any insight! I need some advice from all the runners out there! I just ran my first half...

Thanks for the advice! I did have it looked at Monday--no broken bones. Doc said it was probably a mild, maybe moderate sprain. I don't have access to a pool which is unfortunate. I think I will keep resting it until Monday and then get on the bike and see how it goes. I have talked to...

Hi, I need some advice from all the runners out there! I just ran my first half marathon in Chicago last weekend and it was amazing. I even beat my goal! Unfortunately, when I got home that night, I rolled my ankle and ended up with a sprain! I was immediately upset, as I am hoping to...

Thanks again for the help! I agree, this summer of training for this has totally redefined me and the limits I thought I had set for myself. I have been getting stronger, fitter and faster every week! I really do need to make sure to get my weight training in though, I have been fairly lax on...

Thanks for the replies! I have found your advice very helpful. I think I will try to work in strength training 2x/week (full body) for now and use some fairly heavy weights, then take it down a bit as my mileage starts to increase later this fall (the full marathon is in January). I know...

I need some help from any of you marathoners out there! I am currently in training for the Chicago HALF marathon (my first half), with aspirations to run a FULL marathon in January (also my first full). I have a few questions.... First, is it possible to still lose body fat while training...

Hi, I just started training for a half marathon. I would also like to lose about 10-12#. For those of you who have run a half marathon, were you able to continue losing weight or did your weight loss stall? I have heard stories about many women training and being unable to lose weight...

Found 'em! Thanks!:-) :-) :-)

Thanks!! Is this also where you get the advanced ones, not just the ones on the infomercial?

I have been reading up on Turbo Jam and it sounds interesting. Where do you all buy these workouts? Thanks!

Thanks for the information! I think I will save my money for now. Maybe I will look into getting some of the older Firm workouts though. Thanks again!:-)

Okay, the post below about the newest Firm series has me thinking. Have any of you tried them? What are you opinions on these workouts? How do they compare to the other Firm series? Also, could they be done in an apartment without too much noise? Thanks! Thea

Thanks for the input, I think I'll wait on these, maybe save my money for more Cathe!
