    @fabnine‌ Thank you! I never in my life committed to any workout program. My 2014 New Years resolution was to lose weight- I was 50, overweight and waking up every day with a new ache or pain. I joined the gym 1/2/14 and signed up for training in March. Best thing I ever did for myself and I go 3x per week. At 50 years old- I had never correctly accomplished a push-up. Now I can do that and I am working on pull-ups. Getting ready for a half marathon May 2nd. You will never know what you can accomplish until you really try!

    So yesterday i did 2.5 miles to bring my total to 10.5. My goal is 30 miles for the month of Feb.
    Today I did 30 minutes of strength training.
    Let see what happens tomorrow as I will be gone most of the day.
    It might be my rest day as my daughter and two granddaughters are visiting.

    @LoneWolfRunner -- -17! I wouldn't even be able to walk to the car in that.

    @Skippygirlsmom -- so is it 3 tomorrow? No pain?

    I've been using my Foam Roller 2-3 times a day. It is really helping. I found a very short video from my local running store that shows how to do it. I was only doing IT Band because that's what was hurting but then when I watched it I decided I should add the rest. It's the video on this page http://www.trackshack.com/video-wall.php entitled "Using the Foam Roller". A lot of the other videos are ads, but this one is just a 3 minute demo of using the foam roller.

    @dfnewcombe‌ - there are a bunch of us here who are 'late bloomers'! I have been working out (2x/wk) for about 3 years as well as running. I love having muscles, being strong and in shape almost as much as I love to run! I am still looking to do a pull-up - have never been able to do one unassisted but I will get there one day! In addition to never knowing what you can accomplish until you try I would add you are never too old to try! If I had listened to other people I would never had tried to lift or start running!
