Author Message ♥cacee♥ Yahoo User Posted: Wed Jan 09, 2008 6:47 pm    Post subject: my dad says this is healthy is it? well i want to lose about 25 pounds by march. which is like 2 months away.well kinda. but my dad says that when i ran he said i ran about 1 and 1/3 a mile. and of course he said that i should get running shoes instead of flip flops. but he said you burn more calories when you run with flip flops on because you use your toe or muscles to pick up the shoe and what not. but i run this 1 and 1/3 of a mile not by going flat by going down a long hill, walking straight for a little bit than running up hill than down hill again. and i try to burn as much carbs off as i can and whatever is not good for me. i stay away from chips,ice cream,cake,cookies,anything with high fats and especially soda. i havn't drank soda in about 3 months. but 3 months ago i just had like a sip or two it counts a little i guess. but running a mile down hill, straight, up hill, than down hill and staying away from that stuff is that healthy? and will it help me lose at least 25 pounds by march if i do this everyday?just ignore that flip flop issue. ill use a closedshoe like a tennis shoe or something. but i just need to lose like 25 pounds by swim season.

It only increases your chance of injury (I'm a runner and I'm almost-elite who runs 7+ miles a day) I'd say get good running shoes.
