The number one piece of advice is to GO EASY. The term "No Pain No Gain" is totally wrong. You are reconditioning your body to deal with the change in lifestyle. Your bones are getting thicker and stronger. Your muscles and tendons are building up. and growing. Your heart is figuring out how to deal with all of this and if you push too hard it can be a major problem. Sooooooo. I think it's a great idea to NOT run the first .5. Build up to it. Run between phone polls. Push your self. But only push gently. I am so proud of you!<BR/>(I hope you know I am saying this to you so I can remind myself! Pacing is my biggest challenge.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3207057556091284358.post-74269829149384825642008-02-06T09:59:00.000-08:002008-02-06T09:59:00.000-08:00Uh, I'm just going to repeat my favorite saying, b...Uh, I'm just going to repeat my favorite saying, but I'll use abbreviations just to mix it up:<BR/>DLF beats DNF which trumps DNS.Andriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156783796561821817noreply@blogger.com
