@LoneWolfRunner - just realized you have a hula girl in the snow on your ticker! You really are dreaming of summer in those cold temps!
@HonuNui - I just love your pictures! Glad you got a day of rest after being Hostess to 30! That is a lot of work!!
@Wendy1Fl - Sent you a PM with some sites and info on HR zones and interval training
@HealthyFocused715 - The video is great! I am going to bring it up on my iPad and give it a try! Also my original foam roller was feeling lonely so I bought a 2nd one (Trigger Point Grid roller) to keep it company. Now they are both dusty and hanging out together in the closet :bigsmile:
@fabnine - 24:41 in the cold and snow may not be a record but it is amazing!

Feb 4 - 4 miles - trainer recommended using my foam roller on my IT band -- so I did it twice yesterday and this morning before and after run. Seems to help! Pain is much less and I was able to run 4 miles without pain. My foam roller was happy to get some action as it had been sitting on the piano bench, ignored for months (except for when my daughter was home from college).
Yeah for the foam roller!!! That's excellent to hear!! I have one somewhere too...a good reminder to find it and put it to good use!!
One other resource I thought of and wanted to share for those of you with tight muscles:

@HealthyFocused715 The video looks great! Didn't have time to do it yet, but I will.
@skippygirlsmom Hope you are getting better! I will ask my trainer about hip exercises as well.
Been doing the foam roller along IT band for the last 3 days and it is definitely helping. I feel no pain at the moment.
Woke up to run at 4:15 but it was pouring. Feel like a real wimp not running because of pouring rain, when many of you are running in subzero temps! Tomorrow is trainer after work but I will still run in the morning since I missed today. Working all day and teaching tonight till 10, so it's not like it's really a rest day.

Okay, 1st mile down. Drive home last night was 2 hours and 45 minutes. So, I called it a rest day. Today the temps are going to be around 10 (with the wind chill caused by 20 mph winds with gusts up to 35) so, it is also going to be a rest day. I'm hoping for clear days this weekend so I can add 5 miles to my progress. I guess we will see how that works out soon enough. Happy Friday Eve y'all!
Start: 2/3: 1 mile

I hurt a muscle in my shin that is driving me crazy, I have tried muscle cream and taking drugs; it doesn't want to go away. What kind of stretches do y'all do to help the muscles around your shin? I tried calf stretches but those are working the muscles around the back - i need the ones around the front. Only ones I know are "toe lifts" I was wondering if there was something else I could do?0

We got a wintry mix yesterday and plunging temps, so even the treated roads are coated in ice this morning. So...treadmill it is.
Still haven't been able to use that new Wahoo Tickr HRM. Synced it up this morning and started my workout only to have it pop up a firmware update notification during the whole workout. Didn't see that until the end. I guess it's at least updated now.
2/3 - 4.1 mile (tempo run)
2/5 - 4.02 miles (treadmill - icy roads)

Have you tried putting a towel on the floor and then scrunching your toes in it? I know that sounds weird but it's supposed to help!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will have to try that when I get home. I got this link from a response on my wall that I'm posting here for others who may want ideas.
