She posted an article that said Turmeric(I think that is how it's spelled) was good for joints and she took it during chemotherapy. Her husband now takes it and he too is seeing results(competitive golfer). She buys it from Costco and takes one in the morning and one at night. I am going to try it because my 48 year old joints are starting to complain. Since people have been cooking with this for a thousand years I figure it can't hurt. Good luck with your marathon and running, it's nice to see you having so much fun from it:)Jill P.

Facials are no problem though - although the last time I got one, the woman asked what I did for a living, and when I said I worked in a law firm she asked "do you do divorces?!" and started to proceed to tell me everything that was wrong with her marriage for the whole hour message - not very relaxing!<br /><br />Love your running strategy Shelley!

Good for you.<br />3. I agree, getting to the start (and finish) line is half the battle. Good for you to listen to your body and make a plan that works for you. Less is sometimes better.

What most people don't realize is that it's all trial and error and you should listen to your own body. Just like with using supplements like Gu and Nuun, etc. if you used one of those during training and it was making your stomach upset, you'd stop. The same goes for actual training regimines - you have to figure out what works best for YOU. What you can do maybe I can't but we can both have great training and races if we use some common sense!<br /><br />P.S. Glad to hear the hill repeats are not being done. If you start feeling better, of course you can try, but let's get that hammy feeling good first!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12308631304554235792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-63978112821082795882014-09-10T06:46:15.637-05:002014-09-10T06:46:15.637-05:00So smart!

You are doing all the right things this time! <br /><br />I am letting go of "everyone else can do this" too but it's hard. I seem to forget that I'm 46 and running isn't a natural thing for me. I have to work to get results. I am going to do a post tonight but you know I said last week "no more excuses" but I can't seem to get in the routine and most of that is because I have to high expectations of myself. Need more your approach. So thank you for this post, it came right in time for me.<br /><br />And as for you because this is about you after all: keep doing this and you will finish with the biggest smile ever in January.
