    May 27 -> 3.2

    This week 16.0

    Total for the month 102.0

    Thanks, Maria.

    I think I may have to drop out for a couple of months; I need to spend time strengthening my knees (which are increasingly complaining!). I'd appreciate it if anyone has any stretches/exercises/ideas to deal with clicking knees - I think triggered by running and less than rigorous stretching.

    I hope to rejoin in July or August

    Thanks,

    Ade,


    Congrats for finishing strong :happy: . And take good care recovering your knees, I will miss you :sad: :cry:

    Split squats are good for knees. Also, just walking or using the elliptical trainer might help. You could consider alternating walking / running every other day. I also find heel-walks and toe-walks (about 30 steps of each) prior to a run can help activate your muscles and prepare you for the workout.

    5/27: 20
    5/29: 4.3
    5/31: 4.3

    May 27 - 31: 28.6

    May total: 106.65

    Hit the 100 but not the 125. Makes me more than a little nervous about my marathon!

    June goal 75 - will be tapering then taking it a little easy after marathon.

    How did you feel during your 20-miler on 5/27? If you can do that you can do a marathon; just remember not to start off too fast!
