New goals

syndibee @syndibee (799) • United States 28 Apr 10

Well it's been months and I just can't get my groove back. I no longer enjoy distance runs. I no longer even really enjoy outdoor runs around the neighborhood. I love my treadmill, and I love doing short 1 mile sprints....

syndibee @syndibee (799) • United States 26 Feb 10

I'm hoping for some advice here. I was watching a 2 yr old boy who was bit by a 3 yr old boy several times while at a McDonalds play place. These bites were very severe. 2 of them broke skin and 2 others are huge bruises. The 2 yr...

Barefoot treadmill

syndibee @syndibee (799) • United States 16 Dec 09

Well I decided to do a barefoot run on the treadmill the other day. It was a great run. I slowed the treadmill down to 11.5 minute miles and was very comfortable. Sometimes I think I just try to push too hard on the treadmill. I...

First official 5K

syndibee @syndibee (799) • United States 14 Nov 09

This was today!!! I finished it in 31 min's. I didn't get a chip because I knew I wouldn't be in the running for any prizes so I just ran as a recreational runner. It was as promised very flat. I was surprised how long it felt to...

lost my groove

syndibee @syndibee (799) • United States 1 Nov 09

I can't seem to get myself started anymore. How does one get excited about their running over again? I love running, I love thinking about my next run, then when it comes time to go out there I just don't want to.

treadmill vs. outdoors

syndibee @syndibee (799) • United States 24 Oct 09

Any outdoor runners ever transition to a treadmill? Is there any special trick to do so? I know I don't maintain a steady pace when I run outside and I am just a bit nervous about falling off the back of the machine or just not...

getting past 5 miles

syndibee @syndibee (799) • United States 18 Oct 09

I can't seem to get myself past the 5 mile mark. I can run a 10K but not on a consistent basis. How on earth can I get myself beyond this block? My calves and hips were so sore at 5 miles today that I just had to quit.

Foot strike

syndibee @syndibee (799) • United States 8 Sep 09

This is a completely curiosity question. How do you land on your foot when you run? Do you midfoot, heel, or toe strike? When you lift do you push with your toes or just sort of lift your legs and propel forward? What can you...

how to keep from too much

syndibee @syndibee (799) • United States 26 Aug 09

We all hear about the "too much too soon" syndrome for runners. We just want to keep going and our muscles and joints and whatnot suffer later because we push too hard too fast. I'm in a quandry this week. I want to run. I...

Birthday

syndibee @syndibee (799) • United States 25 Aug 09

I've noticed that as we get older our birthdays become less important to us and those around us. Sure people say "happy birthday" but it seems pretty empty. What does "happy birthday" mean anyways? When I say happy birthday to...
