Other yogurt just seems too sugary for me.

I am a long time runner and historically, I always have a problem at the start of a race. I will be doing the Mt. Washington Road Race on the 18th., my 11th. attempt. I have a real hang up with this race especially primarily because it is 7.6 miles and all uphill. I'm already in a very negative, defaetist mode when the race starts. My legs feel weak and I never feel I'm going to finish (but I always do). I'm not looking to break a course record only to do what I know I'm capable of doing. I'd love to see what I can do without that monkey on my back. Thanks for any help you can provide. I live in Marlboro. Hi Becca,

No one told/warned me about the wierd breathing, the unexpected urges to breathe very deeply and sometimes not being able to. I figured out for myself that i had to help my lungs to relax without that filthy chemical which is added to the cigarettes to make them do so and realised that breathing exercises were the answer and as that was some long time ago when i did not have a lap-top, i devised my own through common sense but your tips are a great suport for folk and already i have told my sister to look you up as she is having problems too and as she is a recent "stopper" she is at a bad place re her breathing.
