well, I have to thank you for all your advice on here. I was thinking of you and all the people on here that gave such great advice! That's how I made it easily!
I'll second that. I know without the support, advice, and inspiration I wouldn't have been ready for this.
@ddmom0811 thanks for being my virtual training buddy!

I too am respecting the rest day... It's a struggle. Physical therapist bonked me on the forehead when I told her I ran yesterday... I did however credit the ability to do so to her. I sure didn't want her to think all her work was for nothing. She's fixed me up. Vetoed any strength training. I can do ball work (sheesh, not what it might sound like)

I respected the cutback week so much last week, I did it for 8 days.
How long are you banned from strength training?

Can I join? I'm new to running so I'll only commit myself to 50 miles, and if I do more it's a bonus!0

Hmmm...photo didn't work. Here it is from a different source:
Wow that's pretty pup!
@Stoshew71 She didn't say how long. She feels it loads my spine to much and I still have inflammation, tight muscles and nerve/disc pain. Which probably lead to a torqued pelvis (no bueno, si painful). It all just cascades from there. I'm on the mend, so I'll listen to her. -for now
I may take a walk later to keep from getting to stiff... May swim later in the week, as suggested by PT guru.0 -

Yeah, try and get as much resistance training as you can in, like swimming, running hills. Can you do body weight exercises like pushups, situps, planks, and what-not?0 -
October Goal—stretch goal 120 km
10/1—rest getting a cold I think…
10/2—10.18 km
10/3—rest, taking care of errands and resting up for…
10/4–10.73 km
10/5—typhoon day, good thing it’s a traditional rest day anyway
10/6–5.16 km
Decided since I"m not half-training at the mo' to drop my running to three times a week and focus on the quality of my runs and working on picking up my pace etc.0 -
7.0 km run up Pats Creek Trail - All the water ponds were still covered in ICE - Yes I said ICE and not the kind for cocktails - at noon when I went out for a run.
10/04 – 7.1 Km – 7.1 Km – 92.9 Km to go
10/05 – 7.0 Km –14.1 Km – 85.8 Km to go 14.1 + 237.8 = 251.9 km

Planks are OK. I do push ups with my feet on the stability ball. No sit ups. I can do some hip abductor resistance with bands. And I need to strengthen my glutes

@Elise4270, @ddmom0811 and @kristinegift - Congratulations on your races and PRs!! Excellent work ladies! Sounds like all of you had a wonderful time - well... except for the chafing!
@ddmom0811 - Awesome picture of you and your daughter! I love the tiaras!
@Elise4270 - You got your buffalo!! Yay!! I hope the legs are feeling better!
Congratulations to any others who had races this last weekend too!
@juliet3455 - what is a wobble pop? Seems that winter is making an early appearance for you way up north!
@dennie24 - love that you ran a race with your son! He is adorable!!
@Stoshew71 - the write up on your running groups is great! Maybe it will encourage even more participation in your area. Although it sounds like it is already very popular there.
@karllundy - your puppy is beautiful! Is she/he a greyhound? I think Hobbes the Vizsla would love running with her!
@melaniefave41 and @mwyvr - You guys crack me up! Let us know if you find Sasquatch or his scat... depending on where you are running though it could be Melianie's
#ishitinthewoods lol
@Elise4270 - can you do hip raises or bridges? They are good for your hips and glutes. I have also been doing one the trainer showed me with my heels on the ball, hips elevated and then rolling the ball in towards my butt - no idea what they are called though.
I had a great run this morning especially considering I didn't want to go and kept putting it off. It was beautiful out and I am so glad I went. My legs were a bit stiff at first - probably a result of 7+ hours in the car yesterday coming home from Flagstaff. I stuck with it and the result was well worth it. Cool out with a beautiful blue sky after the rain last night and lots of poofy clouds!

Shin splints aren't too bad.. Feeling really good How do you tell if its safe to run more days? I would live to run 3-4 days each week but that and slowly increasing distance .. My legs don't adjust to change very well.
Try stretching it with this yoga routine:
