I notice it most when going up and down stairs. When I run, it goes away after a while. The reason I asked about quads, is I did some stretching at my desk, and I noticed that my left quad is a lot stiffer than it used to be....
My #1 running hero is my boss.
She says that after running for years, you get used to the fact that there's always some sort of niggle.
You also get used to knowing if it's a niggle you can run through, or an injury you should rest.
If it was me 18 months ago, I'd be panicking. Now, those sound like niggles. FWIW2 -
@KatieJane83 @lporter229 and @Orphia happy birthdays!! You gonna run you're ages?
And anniversary @greenolivetree!
Happy Birthday to my Piscean (though I say I'm Ophiuchian for the sciences) sisters! Happy Anniversary too, @greenolivetree Impressive.
I ran over twice my age in minutes (turned the big 50 and ran 105 minutes) on my birthday, so I'm feeling proud.5 -
Great job everyone. Those that are looking for us, we are now in the March thread here:

2/27 - rest
2/28 - 8 mile (some kind of speed/tempo) run
Total: 100/116
208 miles/2,017 miles - goal for the year
So I didn't quite make my goal, due to two missed runs from the neverending sinus infection. Note to self: don't make my monthly goal here the exact total of perfectly getting in all my scheduled runs. Wiggle room is good! Lol.
Yesterday was supposed to be 7 miles, but I swapped it for today's 8 miler, because who wants to end a month at 99 miles when it could be 100?! The 8 miler was supposed to just be an endurance run, while the 7 was a mixed hill/strides workout. But I had a deadline yesterday and ended up running the 8 at a faster pace than what it should have been (my HM pace from my 1st HM). So we'll see how the 7 goes today, whether I'll incorporate the full speed workout, or maybe just do the strides portion.
@Elise4270 I was actually very happy that my bday coincided with a rest day, lol. Don't think I'm quite at the level to run 34 miles in one day There is someone in my running club who does that, but she also just completed a 100 mile ultra, lol.
And thanks for all the birthday wishes!

@KatieJane83 @lporter229 and @Orphia happy birthdays!! You gonna run you're ages?
And anniversary @greenolivetree!
@Elise4270 You should have made the "run your age" suggestion 10 years ago, maybe I could have done it then. This year my birthday will be a week before a marathon that I might sign up for; I'm not sure 32 mi or even km fit in with the taper. Maybe my age in minutes
@skippygirlsmom Woohoo, great news that you don't need surgery!
@potatowhoruns Great job making it to 50mi. I hope there isn't anything serious wrong with your hip.
@lporter229 I always feel like the trails are so far away from me - 15-20min by car, depending on where I want to run. I would prefer to have them right outside the door. But I guess "far" is relative. It's usually worth the drive :-)
I hope your PT appointment goes well on Friday!

7km run for me yesterday. I even (barely) got back before midnight, so it all counts for February. That brings me to 202km for the month. Some technical challenges along with that - Strava wouldn't let me upload last night, and that other ticker site I was using gives an error message when you want to enter a current value larger than the goal.
But nevermind - after three month of recovery/travel/holidays/illness, I've finally made it past 200km again, yay!

I'm happy to hear I wasn't the only person having Strava issues yesterday, lol. I had to go in this morning and manually import it from my watch, because it wasn't pulling it from Garmin Connect.0
