    @RunTimer and @shanaber I forgot how amazing yoga is. And it's such a great way to stretch out muscles. Which is good for me because I was never stretching before or after runs...my bad I know.

    My back has gone into spassum, so no running for me I can barely walk. Do you think yoga could help put my back right? I think I'll look up yoga on you tube and have a go.

    yes, basic yoga can help back....don't know much about your history with the back..but can help, even in case of extreme arthritis

    @stoshew71 if I'm up I'll be there. I get up at 5 every morning I hate to do it on the weekends too :smile: I'm thinking a shorter run tomorrow and a long run Sunday right now so I'll see. Thanks for the info I did see it last night on FB.
    @whatmerunning great job getting your run in.
    @jorocka I love your pictures too, girl you have some awesome arms, so jealous!
    @shanaber we are like mileage twins
    @isulo_kura hey stop taking my picture when I get up in the morning LOL Oh my that is a big cow, just think how fast everyone would be running if they got out.

    I tell by everyone's posts it's been warming up everywhere. When I ran this morning it was 71, but 98% humidity. I was dripping sweat, but it feels so good. I won't complain, I complained and begged for this weather when it was 5 degrees out in the winter :tongue:

    It's funny how the dogs pout when they can't go for a run or how they get used to the routine. Because I run on the road it wears down Macy's pads too much so she only goes from time to time. But when I get home I take her for a walk for my cool down. When I come down the street she is looking out the front window of the bedroom, she lays on the bed with her chin on the windowsill. When I open the front door she starts to jump in circles until we go out the door. Same thing with the pool, she loves to swim, when one of us puts a bathing suit on she loses her mind, running from the back door to us and then back to the door. She'll put 2 paws on the pool steps and if you put one toe in the pool she jumps in. Skip brought some new suits for the summer and had to stop putting them on modeling them for me, because Macy was going insane. If she can't go in the pool she looks out the back window and howls this sick sad noise the whole time someone is in there. Too funny.

    @shanaber it doesn't seem to matter if I eat or not. I have bentyl for IBS. I just may have to take it with the Cymbalta. They both make me tired. But I suppose better tired than diarrhea, dehydration and no running.

    @JimCrackinDandy I don't have any real advice for the knees. Might see your doc with the swelling. A steroid may be in order. Good luck.

    Downhill or downstairs causing more pain is typical with ITB issues. I remember having to run or walk backwards down hills to make it home from a long training run once, a run I should not have started clearly.

    This happened to me 25 years ago so am reluctant to suggest stretching to you as perhaps thinking has moved on, but if it were me, that's what I'd add as it helped me recover relatively quickly.

    For prevention, ITB stretches are a regular post run routine for me now to remain in tune with that band, no pun really intended.

    Same goes with extreme cold.

    I just feel fracking stupid for running in the heat. But the cold and rain- yes- totally agree LMAO

    I had a great 4 mile run last night. I ran on a state trail (paved) through west central Lake country right at sunset. I caught a great photo but won't be able to post it until I'm at a computer.

    25.2 out of 50 miles... Ahead of schedule!

    @Elise4270 - Nice run! Hope you're feeling better.
    @shanaber - I did feel like a bad-*kitten* for running in the rain today...even though it was very light.

    I honestly love running in the rain- there is something very cathartic about it- and yes- it's totally a level up bad-a$$ery!!! :D Good job you!
