    The nice thing about a gloomy day is fewer bikes out on the trail. :smile: And I didn't get rained on either. :smile:

    7 miles on the bike and 7 more miles walking.

    July total 105 miles

    I'm getting the miles in early this week because work is going to get in the way starting on Wednesday.

    =============================

    ANACONDA469 - What an ordeal you encountered!!! Yet you still pushed through the pain .... several times. I definitely agree with everyone else that you have nothing to feel defeated about. You gave it one helluva shot and you should be proud. :drinker: Now you know what to watch out for and train for for next year. :)

    So this is the point in the month that some of you may be looking at your goal and looking at your progress and thinking "this is NOT going to happen. I QUIT :sad: " DON'T. Just don't quit. I know it gets frustrating seeing so much success and you aren't feeling so successful yourself. :cry: First, remember that most of us don't post when we don't move. So you are not alone in your struggles. Really.:flowerforyou: Second, progress is personal. My goals have increased since I began this challenge last year, but I know my 100 to 150 miles a month is not a possibility for some others. That's OK. Focus on your own goals and get as close as you can. And when you stumble (you will, I have and I don't know anyone who hasn't at least once) you can just get back up and start moving again. Just keep trying and keep moving. :flowerforyou: We will be here cheering you on. :flowerforyou:

    I'm not ignoring all the good that's going on in the group here. :bigsmile: I just know that sometimes, you just need a hug and a push. :wink:

    (Hey Dave, you may need to keep this and hit me over the head with it next January through April. :laugh: )

    3 today. My mild shin splint in one leg eased up. I still have a super sore thigh/butt muscle. Any ideas on how to stretch this area? I can't figure it out. It hurts from about halfway down my thigh up to my booty. Help! Been like this for weeks!

    Oh no! Try these twice a day or at least once each time just before you run. It's a video I've shared out of my dropbox. Just use the weight of one leg for resistance. You don't need to push extra. do 15-20 reps each leg. It'll warm up and strengthen your shin.

    The stretches that are good for your hip area are the pigeon pose from yoga and the hurdler stretch. You can google those. The exercises that are good are lunges and something else HKRISTINE tipped me off to. Go to YouTube and search for "MYRTL coach Jay". It's a video of 12 strengthening exercises/stretches.

    Good luck!

    This has helped my recent thigh/hip issues. It's called The Pigeon Pose
