I run...

One night i went to my crush's house to watch a movie with him. Before I had to leave he said, "Can I kiss you?" and i said "yes." And then he said, "okay, but before i do, i just need you to know that i just got out of a relationship and i'm not looking for another one" i told him, "i know"... and then he kissed me.

Now he's being really weird, saying he feels guilty because that's not how my first kiss should've been because he should be able to give more. i told him i was fine and it was good he told me before.

But now he doesn't flirt with me like he used to and our conversations are all really forced.

What should I do?

I guess it's important that we went to a burger joint, just the two of us.

I'm a sophomore and he's a senior, and I met him at the beginning of my freshman year because we both do cross country. Towards the end of last school year he started talking to me more and was always really sweet and supportive throughout my track season. This summer, we started hanging out occasionally, once alone, and once with him and his best friend. He once said "...you need to hang out with us more. You're a funny funny girl." Now I'm starting to think that I like him, but I don't think he'd ever like me because he's a lot older than me, and I don't want to act on my feelings because I've had a lot of fun hanging out with him this summer and I don't want to ruin our friendship. What can I do?

this question showed up on a packet I need to complete with my summer reading, but I received the newer version of the book, and I don't think the answer is in it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

My mom has asked me to help her lose weight, so I've been helping her through exercise programs mixing strength and cardio work. However, during some of the cardio circuits, she complains of knee pain while doing things like climbing stairs, jumping, and jogging in place. How can I help her get in an effective cardio routine without ruining her knees?

... and i am aware that the knee pain is probably due to her obesity

why does she do TV advertisements for Neutrogena, a division of Johnson & Johnson, one of the most notorious companies for animal testing?

I am getting orthodics, and I am wondering if anyone has a recommended pair of shoes that are lightweight, and work well with orthodics.

specifically, if anyone has had experience with orthodics in the asics nimbus, i would like to know how they worked for you, because i am currently interested in that shoe... but i am open to other suggestions

my injury was in my foot, first a stress fracture, and then muscle and tendon issues

I've had this fracture, brought upon by my cross country season, for almost 3 months and it doesn't seem to be healing. I've been biking almost daily, and going to the pool as often as I can. But my dad thinks that the biking is hurting my foot and doesn't think I should do it anymore.

I'll try to swim as much as possible, but I can't go that often.

I've been going through self-directed strength workouts to maintain my core, arms, and glutes, but I really need to keep my cardio up somehow because I plan on running track in the spring.

What else can I do to stay in shape?

Me and this guy have had an on again off again "thing" (never officially going out). We hung out on Saturday, just the two of us, for the first time in a long time, and we basically watched movies and cuddled on the couch for hours... and then the next day he admitted that he had wanted to kiss me. So i was really hopeful that maybe it would work out this time.

But then yesterday, he started joking about how he liked this other girl, who we've known for a while likes him a lot. So I got mad, because I couldn't tell if he was joking, and then after he said he was kidding, i told him t o tell me that he liked me so i would maybe believe him again. Then he said "it's complicated" because we kind of have different groups of friends, and his friends make fun of him for liking me. That made me really mad, but I still want him. I like him so much. What do I do?

It's a female voice and it goes something like:

If i just breathe every little thing... *something something* everything is over

my grandparents recently gave us a large sum of money and my family wishes to donate it to a literacy program. I want our money to be used in the best way possible, so I guess I'm asking which charities would put our money to the best use.

it's been like this for about a year... most of the time i only get it every 2 months, and then it lasts for about 2 days, and is very very light.

My first period was 2 years ago, and it was completely normal until about a year ago.

I am a cross country runner, and I did kick up my training a lot starting this summer. Could this have anything to do with it?

Is this a problem I should be worried about?

I get way more sleep than most other people my age. I'm 14, and I get 8-9 hours of sleep most nights, yet when I wake up, I feel like I've gotten about 3.

I think I may be sleeping, but not getting actual REM sleep.

How can I sleep more effectively so I'm not a zombie??

her main problem is that she just isn't motivated enough to do any substantial exercise

she takes a walk almost everyday at lunch during warm weather, but walking doesn't really burn a whole lot of calories, and she doesn't do it in the winter

i don't think she would appreciate the gym environment, but i myself am a cross country runner and have a pretty good fitness background, so i'd be fine with leading her through some workouts

i don't know how to approach her about the subject though. i know she'd appreciate me wanting to help her, if not for the exercise but for the time it would mean i'd spend with her

any suggestions??

my favorite shoes in the world, the nike air zoom elite 3s are being discontinued.

I was wondering, is nike planning on making a zoom elite 4 model? what about a comparable performance stability model?

I will be traveling next week, and I expect to be starting my period at around the same time, so I will probably be menstruating during my flights.

The longest flight is from Detroit to London (there is one half hour flight before that, and about an hour flight after the longest flight).

Does the altitude at all affect menstruation? will my flow be lighter/heavier?

The two I am thinking of would be:

The Complete Book of Running for Women and

The Runner's World Complete Book of Running for Women

if you have any other suggestions too they will be appreciated
