    Question, I've been getting a bit of discomfort in my medial calve insertion, sort of the inside next to achillies tendon (dont know the actual anatomy, probably should given my job but I know bones, not muscles!). its been slowly getting worse to the point it was tender last night. it doesn't bother when running, only when walking. So this morning I made a point on really stretching well, and rolling on that area - OUCH. its been a couple of hours now and is defiantly better, only a niggle that I occasionally notice when walking. I'm trying to stretch again throughout the day. Should I take a few days rest, or just make sure I stretch better in the future? My gut is this is related to not stretching well enough my last couple of runs - ive been battling small child as soon as I get home, so my stretches got a bit half arsed...

    Not sure, but since stretching seems to have helped, I would try that and watch it for a few runs. If things continue to improve, then I would just roll with it. If not, than might want to talk to a PT about it.

    Congrats on your PR! That's awesome!!! :smile:
    @polskagirl01 SHE DID IT!!! Met my friend today and ran for 30 minutes without stopping. She was convinced she was going to have to tell me to just leave her along the side of the road somewhere, and seemed surprised that she finished actually feeling fine. I had told her last week that she didn't actually need the one-minute walk break in the middle anymore, because at that point it was more of a mental break. I don't think she believed me - but then new distances or times always seem impossible until after we've done them, don't they?

    I'm feeling yesterday's track workout for sure - a great feeling, as I'm imagining it as the speed getting into my legs.

    YAY for your friend. How wonderful! :) Nice going!

    for those who need more than running into the epic lambeau field...looks like cliff runners 10k was sunday of the same weekend. devil's lake and nearby mirror lake are popular day trip locations. and have nice trails
    up by green bay there are a few natural areas. to the south is high cliff which is pretty darn cool.

    i do want to save for the dog leg of the columbia gorge half.

    It's yucky here in Calgary today and my husband remembered baby wipes so I'm currently dressed in running kit for our road trip and will run mid-journey. Maybe Lake Louise.

    @juliet3455 I think I'm running that section of the river valley trails for MEC race 4. Next time you are in town check out the Edmonton Trail Runners FB page. They do group runs a few times a week. Once I'm done my half marathon in August I'm planning to start doing the Saturday Snakes & Ladders runs with them since it's at social pace and I'm a turtle.
