I have hit a major road bump in my prep to my first marathon. I’d love to get as much input as I can. What do you think?

Which is better for training?

Treadmill on various incline settings OR a walking trail outside? What’s your opinion

Question:

What does it take to get you off the couch and to the gym on a tough day?

Sometimes I have to remind myself …

I am worth it.  We all are.

Now, if this isn’t a success story, I don’t know what one is.  Thank you SO much Judy for sharing with us. 

What’s your story?  I’d love to hear from you!

Interview with Leah.  This is a FANTASTIC lady and her story is awesome.  You couldn’t ask to get to know a better person.  Congrats Leah!  We are SO proud of your success so far! :D

LEAH’S BEFORE SHOT:

Interview with Jon.  This guy lost 134 pounds!

No excuses!  Period.  These are the moments that I can look back on that get me through the tough days.  What’s your no excuse story?

Treadmill Tip

Got this from my gym’s Facebook wall this morning:

Tilt a Tad: Stand tall as you run, but deliberately lean your whole body slightly forward from the ankles. This slant in your stance allows gravity to propel you ahead with each step. It helps increase your speed with minimal effort so you can tirelessly torch more calories.

Interview with Dacia McCoy. (Dacia is married to Kelley, a guy I interviewed a week or so ago.) In her video, she shares her story of completing her first half marathon. I love interviewing these people that have done what I’m setting out to do.  It’s completely inspiring.  It’s amazing to me how when you share your story with someone else who is on the journey or has been on the journey, you have this immediate respect and understanding for one another.  It’s a lot like the power I felt when I completed my first half marathon.  Yes, we were in a race, but we were all supporting one another to finish.  It’s that energy, I believe, that carries everyone to the finish line.

Interview with Sherry: she says it best, DON’T think about it.  Just do it.

Marathon Nerves!  I need your success stories and your tips!
