[quote=ajarvis]Amy - I run on the treadmill, I am thinking my knee problems may be a symptom of too much too soon. I had tendonitis back in sep/oct so I had to stop running for about 6 weeks, and then with the holidays I slowed down becaue of lack of time. Then I started the half marathon training program and bought new shoes the combination may have something to do with it.

Hi Amanda!
You go girl! Just one thought...I am no expert on running or anything, but it does seem like running in a marathon will be much different than running on a treadmill. Have you thought about doing your running on a track or at a park or something (on the grass) to see how you do distance wise and how different it feels from the treadmill?
Ya, too much too soon can really do us in, huh! That happened to my sister who jumped back into an old workout routine full swing - picked up where she left off about 3 years ago and took a real beating on her ankles!
Hang in there! Good consistency woman! :

Amanda,
Are you making progress? I ask because it doesn't look like you are eating enough. Especially, for running (training) for a marathon.

[ajarvis]

Amy - I don't feel comfortable running outside where I live. I'm currently looking for a running partner in my area because running outside is very different. Also there are hills outside and the incline on the treadmill just doesn't cut it! Also with tendonitis I was told to stay away from the incline on the treadmill and to try to get outside to run actual hills. I'm thinking of joining the local YMCA to be able to run on a track. I use to run outside and I love it!

Lady C - I am making progress, slowly, I agree I'm not currently eating enough I do eat more than what is down I just haven't gotten into the habit of writing it down but am going to try and start this week on Monday. The reason I don't often eat enough during the day is because the options here at work are not very good at all. Everything is either fried or coated in butter or grease. The meat they use is always fatty, and they don't have sandwich meat out anymore. I can't currently afford to bring my own lunch to work because I'm not working full time any more. I am looking for a new job, but that has been hindered by my room mate who ran up a $500 dollar bill on the phone and it got disconnected now all the resumes I put out are for nothing and I have to wait for her to get it reconnected before I can continue looking. So soon I hope to be able to eat better and more!
