Personal:

I am married with 3 lovely children 26, 18, &12and a dog named Koda and a cat named Blue. Love to run and be outside. I believe that if you think you can do it and you work hard enough any thing is possible. Life flashes by in the blink of an eye, enjoy it while it last and remember there is a lot more to life than running. I coach high school swim and love it!

Went to the rec center this morning and did 35 mins. on the spin bike-climbing repeats then swam 12 laps. Almost fell back to sleep this morning, I usually get right out of bed but I sat there not wanting to get out, but I did. Right distal vasitis medialis is sore (the quad on the inside right above the knee) I think it is from wearing a foot strike corection thing-a-mujig on my run for to long yesterday. But I worked it out and think it will be fine.

Will probably take my son out later in the jogger.

Took my son out in the jogger for an easy run. Was a little tired, it's hard to push the jogger after swimming.

What is the foot strike correction thing? What kind of foot striker are you? I am a heel striker. I am going to try and become a midfoot striker after my injuries heal. I believe my heel striking is, in part, causing my problems.

It is actually called a Pneu-gait strap, I land on my mid-foot but rotate my right foot laterally (to the outside) so I sprain my ankle alot. To fix your heel striking problems try leaning forward at the hips (as if you are about to fall before you start to run, raise you arms to about heart level and push those elbows back. Don't cross your arms in front of your body, straight back and foward. This should help you land on the mid-foot. If you live close to the Runner's Corner you can go in there and ask them to help with this problem. Hawk has this devise he uses to help correct your form, it feel goofy but it workks.

I was reading your info you posted on healthy eatting and supplements.

I was not raised eatting healthy at all. I do my best to stay away from sugar and white flour. That is my start. I am getting use to veggies. I eat alot of chicken. Are yellow corn tortialls ok?

What vitamins or oils should I be taking?

I will usually drink a low carb slim fast before the gym

then I had two corn tortialls with lean meat and homemade salsa (No sugars in it) and a pinch of cheese.

I try to drink alot of water.

I still have 20 pds to lose. That will put me at 120. I am 5"3".

What do you think?

Everyone react differantly to foods you really have to pay attention to the way you react to differant type of food. Like what make you feel good and sustains you for a long period of time and stick to those foods, I think everyone notices how crappy you feel after a handbuger and frys. I found recently that my body really run well on beans (I like black beans the best) I use them in salads, you could add these to your tortialls and yes corn are much better for you, they are not made with lard like flour one usually are. I think you can find better thing to drink then slim fast (my opinion). I believe I outlined what I drink in the mornings in the info I posted. For

vitiams I would look for a whole food supplement (if you need help with this ask some one at the health food store they are usually pretty helpful. A helpful hint is to keep a food journal, this can be time consuming but then you know what works and what doesn't.
