    Happy Birthday @amirahdaboss and @ContraryMaryMary!

    My legs are So sore from lunges on Tuesday! Cross training today... dog walk in the morning and stationary bike after work. Lots of foam rolling and stretching after both!

    Happy Birthday @amirahdaboss :smiley:

    Guys, you are all congratulating @ContraryMaryMary a day ahead of time?! Where I grew up, wishing somebody a happy birthday before the actual day is considered bad luck :p
    And afaik that's not only a German thing - I remember a few years ago, the Pope asked not to celebrate his birthday in advance, so it seems in Argentina (and, from the article, also in Russia) they have the same superstition. Don't know how it is in New Zealand - but just in case, I will wait 3 more hours ^^

    In America, it is like the total opposite. People talk about "It is my birthday MONTH" or "It is my birthday WEEK" and all that. Any excuse to celebrate will do :D

    @ddmom0811 - It is so sad that kids feel there is no other option. I also feel so bad for her friends and others at the school who have to deal with it too.
    @ContraryMaryMary - Did not intend to send you any bad luck, just good wishes!!

    On the weather comments... I am not running today thankfully as we are having 20MPH winds with regular gusts of 50! I had planned to get out and pick the rest of my tangerines but I may not have to as the wind may take care of it for me.
    Unfortunately it is supposed to continue like this through the weekend and get hot - over 80F! Like @ddmom0811 it is too hot for March!

    More late hours at work last night so another skipped run, but I did climb up and down 65 floors before I went home, so that's something.

    I think I can get out of here at a normal time today and a good long, wet run in tonight.

    wow

    Missed that comment the first time. That is very sad. I hope someone is working with the kids of that school as they cope with the event. They will need love and help.

    Celebrated my birthday today by doing a super intense full body workout at the gym. I usually stick to running and Zumba, so my abs and arms feel like they’ve been run over by a truck, but in a good way. Also got out yet again for c25k, and have an outdoor run planned for tomorrow. My friend who’s trying to start running only lives a couple of miles from my house, so I’m gonna run to her place and we shall commence week 2 of c25k from there! Here’s to being 20!
    March running
    3/6: 3.1 miles
    3/8: 3.1 miles
    3/10: 3.8 miles
    3/11: 1 mile
    3/12: 1 mile
    3/13: 1 mile
    Cumulative miles: 13 miles/I have no idea miles

    Happy Birthday!!!

    Do you ever have a feeling like your leg gives out while running? I had that twice right at the end. It was my calf muscle or side of calf that just felt a little numb and like it wasn't going to hold. No pain at all. I walked a bit and it seemed ok but then it happened again so I called it quits. Maybe just a little muscle spasm of some kind?

    Yes. I have lost my complete right leg many times. It really sucks when you are at Walmart and have to get the groceries and somehow drive home still. Eventually, after x-rays and chiropractors and doctors who all failed to do anything to help, I learned it was the sciatic nerve being pinched, and I learned how to unpinch it from a PT. That PT saved me from back surgery.

    Might not be your issue at all. Mine slowly got worse until it was debilitating.

    I was gonna say sciatica - my husband gets it but the side of his quad goes numb. Some sciatic specific hip stretches fixed it for him, maybe get a PT session for specific recommendations?
