My feet are killing me lately. I know I need some new shoes but any of you runners use arch supports? I've tried shoes with gel soles; they work okay until the gel is worn down and imprinted with your foot and then become very uncomfortable.
FWIW I've had better luck with supportive/stability shoes like Brooks Adrenaline (with built-in support) than I have with arch supports. I wear arch supports in my regular shoes, but when I ran with them they tended to create other issues.

Need motivation to run again. Also, need upper body workouts that I can do around the house. I shed all this weight and lowered my heart rate for the wedding and want to keep it up but it's the dang holidays now. The bike ain't cutting it.

I have a very basic at-home bodyweight routine that I follow: 50 push-ups, 50 crunches, and 5 minutes of various planks and stretches before bed every night. Takes about 10 minutes total, usually while watching TV. I also keep a resistance band in the bathroom and do a couple dozen curls and flies before I shower. It's not gonna get me ripped or anything but my core feels pretty solid.
Weren't you doing couch to 5K at one point? Maybe sign up for a race and try that again?

Signing up for a race is a great idea. Several coming up in January and February. Not sure I need to regress to couch to 5k routine. I remember the first couple of weeks being very, very slow. I do need that structure again, though.
Do you use weights at all? I'm thinking of investing in those little 3 and 5 pounders you saw in everyone's living room in the 80's.

have you tried running while carrying your knife in hand? the possibilities are rife.

I don't do anything with weights. I just have a mental block or something when it comes to any kind of weightlifting. I don't even like walking through that area of the gym. I've thought about getting one of those "power tower" things for the garage or basement so I can do pullups, dips, etc.
