Yeah the shoes are pretty damn old. That could be my problem. If God ever decides to let me work again I could try investing in a good pair of sneakers.
I hate stationary bikes. I go crazy on them and a half hour later its alike "calories burned: 10"
I prefer the elliptical. Its my go to machine when I go to the gym. Get a crazy good work out on it with out feeling all sore after.

Solar... wow good luck on the marathon. All I can say is start slow, try to stay at an even pace and make sure someone can drive you home after... the last 2 miles are the hardest, but you can do it
HUGS Avery ... I am sure something will turn up soon.

I hear ya, Avery.
Running is hurtful on the me. Not to mention it's boooooooooooooring, and I never feel good afterwards. Frankly I feel like shit after running, and I never improve :\ or improve very very little. Maybe I just am lacking something other runners have. Biking is more my cup of tea.

Thanks MSA.
I ran a mini last year, and it went well. Then I broke my leg to start the year. (Not fun.) But my training has gone well, and I should be good for the full marathon in a few weeks.
Also, I love the elliptical machines. Very good workout with no impact. I try to use them in my training routine. For example, if I'm supposed to run 10 miles in a night, I try to do the elliptical for forty minutes and then run just six miles. It reduces the wear and tear.
But I think the recumbent bikes are a little more affordable (for home use).

ouch no fun on the broken leg, but I'm glad your training is going well. Have you taken a look at the course you'll be running?
And may I just say the Ogden marathon course sucks it's all up or down hill the entire time and the last mile and a quarter is slight uphill ...nearly kills you To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.

The course is mostly free of hills, so that shouldn't be a problem. (The 26.2 miles on the other hand...)

As far as biking and hunching over goes, modern non-stationary bikes (and probably the stationary ones, but I don't know) have been specifically designed to reduce that problem and promote better posture. Anything made within the last year or so keeps the rider upright, as long as the seat height and everything is properly adjusted.
