RUNNING????????????????

hi,
me, my sister, and my friend are 14 years old. we go running about 4 times a week at our high school track. we have some questions about running:
&we are not trying to loose weight, just trying to get better at running and become healthier. we are all skinny and dont need to loose weight
1. when we run we get very exhausted and loose breath about 20 seconds into it. we need to know if there are good distractions to use while running to calm breathing. so far, we blast our ipods listening to music, we drink, we look up at the sky, and we run with less clothing.sum it up we can only run 1 lap around the track and then we immediatly get tired. and we usually do over 2 miles at the track. we need good distractions or breathing tecniques to keep us running longer.

2. what are good ab exercises after our cardio workout after running ( we would like to tone our abs)

we run at night so its not hot but we still sweat and we go anywhere between 6:30 -8

please help us and thanks for ur time;)

More than a sports event, Spirit of the Marathon is an inspirational journey with unique, theatre-only features that will be embraced by runners and non-runners alike.

What is a good running sock for really sweaty feet?

Any time I run 10-15+ miles my socks get drenched with sweat. I feel like instead of running I am water skiing! Granted I live in New Orleans, the hottest, god-foresaken place in the US, or so it seems. This isnt really a problem until the mercury hits about 80-85F. I need a sock that can really move some sweat. I am currently in Nike Dri Fits. Any suggestions?
