You aren't tall and sinewy?

Are you trying to run further or for a longer period of time? I was running quite a bit before I started my boot camp, and I mixed it up quite a bit. I'd run/walk for forty five minutes to an hour on some days. I'd run straight through for thirty minutes at a much faster pace on others. I acknowledge that I'm one of the world's slowest runners, but I don't really care about speed. I just want to be able to keep on going. Before I'd started boot camp, my furthest run straight through without stopping was a little over five miles in an hour. (See slowest runner, above)

I'm going to start training for January's half marathon as soon as my boot camp is over (two more weeks). The schedule that I found that I'm going to use has me running thirty to forty five minutes a day every other day, cross training with something else the other days of the week and then doing a long run on Sundays. We'll see if it works.

Well, if you hadn't gobbled up that Chex Mix and then puked all over the table, I might be a little more forgiving.

I love that effect.

I mean my wife's, not mine. No manboobs here. When I get those, its time to go...

Time to go? You're gonna off yourself? Why not just hit the gym a little harder? Or stop yourself after that first pint of Chubby Hubby.

I actually do not run long distances because I do not like it. But I jump rope. A lot. And I lift very heavy weights every other day. And I run stairs and do them two and three at a time. It's good because I live on the 33d floor so it is quite a workout.

But if you want running tips, I think dtb had the best ones. Run slow and for a long distance. If I ran any length of distance, I would follow that tip.

Not sure. more miles, faster pace, more endurance. DTB told me to go slow, and that SO helped [thanks DTB!] I've only been back into it for 3 months. I used to bang out 5 miles good pace, good time, and then I well, as TM pointed out, let myself go for a good couple of years.

So you can do boot camp but your pace is still slow? I don't mean that in a bad way I'm just trying to understand how that translates one to other........hmmm thoughts?

Sure. I agree. She knows I've only been back running for a few months. I'm trying, honey.

That'd be the easy way. That may seem right for people like you, but some of us have values, commitments. I don't expect you to understand, but it's just something I'll have to do.

Second, he was too harsh. I never said I was a model, and he makes me sound like a fucking delusional wack job that thinks she is getting all this attention and isn't. Part of why I do is that I am a nice person and approachable, not because I'm a smokin' hottie. That being said, I ain't ugly.

What exactly should have been PMd to you? I didn't publicly humiliate you. You knew what you were getting into when you agreed to it in the first place. I was not overly harsh. Everything I wrote is my honest opinion.

You seem like you're a nice person and I concede that may be part of the attraction for some people.

Why don't you post what you thought I would post and I'll give you my honest opinion on if I think you're delusional.
