    Be careful - Running is addicting! I was sure I would NEVER be a runner, I hated running, and now... well that was before and now... I am addicted! :laugh:
    Welcome to the group and happy running!

    Thanks, I put in my 1st mile yesterday, granted in 2 minute bites. half way through my calves were SCREAMING. any way around that?

    @linanneasley‌ - Running in 2 minute bites is just fine but be sure you do some calf stretches... You can do some gentle ones before you head out, if they start to complain stop and stretch again and then stretch once you are finished. You might also be trying to run too much or going too fast too soon. Be sure to take it really easy at first and build up a little over time.

    This has some good stretches:

    and this has some good pictures of stretches

    just be sure you aren't arching your back when you do them.

    -9F!! Don't know how you do it!

    Feb 1 - 27 mile bike ride.
    Feb 2 - 3 miles
    Feb 3 - strength training
    Feb 4 - 4 miles - trainer recommended using my foam roller on my IT band -- so I did it twice yesterday and this morning before and after run. Seems to help! Pain is much less and I was able to run 4 miles without pain. My foam roller was happy to get some action as it had been sitting on the piano bench, ignored for months (except for when my daughter was home from college). :wink:
