@skippygirlsmom
You got that from Denise's post. Now that you reposted it, you have to join us for the Brueggers Grp Run. ;-)
LOL I cannot confirm or deny where it came from. I'll have to think about that one, you run back to a bagel place...oh yeah!
Thanks everyone, it is starting to feel really good out there.

I'm in love with them. I'm hoping this stops the knee pain. I'm also going to start taking Bio Flex and a calcium supplement. Hopefully, tonight I'll do some strength training.

Few miles on the treadmill. Bought some cold weather running pants online at a nice discount. Ordered medium, and they sent x-small... now they are out of meduims. How self conscious am I now about needing to lose a few pounds. *sigh*.. thanks Dick's sporting goods.

@Ohhim - Hope your sore left knee gets better & stays better. That's an incredible half marathon! I just hope to skirt around the 2 hour mark for that distance. You must really move when your aching knee is not part of the equation.
@ddmom0811- Sorry to disapoint you. Since I started running again my mom is always sending me photos of places she thinks I'd like to run. It looks like all the Paint The Trail pictures she's sent are from your trail, it just gets identified by different place names- Seminole County Paint the Trail, Wekiva Paint the Trail, Longwood Paint the Trail.
***And you weren't sore after a 50 mile bike ride? That's fantastic! I'd call that well deserved rest day.
@cooter_mom - So happy for your new record pace & distance and super excited that you'll surpass your goal! Way to go!!! Love your photos. Bet you can't wait to get outside to run again.
@HealthyFocused715 They do sell snowshoes for running/racing, but I'm so bad at snowshoeing I'll stick to running in trail shoes. If enough people have gone through ahead of me I could run the trail in microspikes and only 'post hole' occasionally. The trails nearest to my house aren't that well traversed though. The LOCO Guy may consider snow shoeing an acceptable activity if you are on a running streak, but I only count my running miles. My hiking, cycling, & walking miles are all separate. He does organize some great races though.
@QHjr - ^^^ Fierce!Feb 22 - 3.1mi (5K race: 7:06/mi, fastest pace..whoo hoo)
@suncluster - ^^^ I love this. Well said.suncluster wrote: »There may not be as many miles on my ticker as I wanted but they are all mine

@shanaber - I'm not sure what's up with the foot, thanks for asking. I had to cut Sunday's run short and yesterday's too, but today I felt fine. I'm thinking I may need to start paying attention to which shoes I'm wearing & see if that's part of the problem. I'm trying the exercises you recommended and back to yoga regularly again to see if that helps. I'll let my goal here go before I risk aggravating an injury.

I have a few questions for everyone.....Do you warm up before running? If so, what does that look like for you? Do you just walk for a cool down or do more? Do you cross-train throughout the week? If so, what do you do and for how long?0
-
@fabnine - how many miles do you usually go in a pair of running shoes before replacing them?
@johnsonnelly - I use a foam roller on my hips and stretch (hips, glutes, quads, calves and feet) before I go out to run. If it is a long run I walk a bit afterwards and do some additional stretches. So far this seems to help me stay injury free, so it works for me. I also do strength training, lifting weights, etc., 2x/week with a trainer and usually once on my own.

@fabnine - lol that your mom sends you pics of places to run. Those 3 names are all names that would make sense for that trail. I think it's actually called Seminole-Wekiva trail but who knows.
@johnsonnelly - I use foam roller before and after. Although as I'm writing this I realized I forgot to foam before this morning! I walk for about 4 minutes at the beginning and then walk maybe 5 minutes or so at the end.

@johnsonnelly I do not do a warm up before my runs, but rather run at a lower pace for the first 2-3 minutes. I do have a cooldown, about 5 minutes or so. I foam roll my legs, thighs, and butt whenever I feel like Just randomly throughout the day, often during commercial breaks. I also strength train twice a week. This alone really improved my running, in my opinion.
2/1 = 6.5 miles
2/3 = strength training

2/20 = 6.5 miles
2/21 = Super snowy Saturday. No running today!
2/22 = 6.5 miles + snow shoveling
2/23 = 3.5 miles. A quick run before Monday madness
2/25 = 6.5 miles

I do - it's called "the first 1-3 miles." I don't cool down on easy runs, but if I'm doing speedwork or a race, I will do a 1-3 mile jog, depending on the effort I put out there.

@johnsonnelly if it's an easy run I just go. If its a very long run I do the 1st 1-3 miles extra slow and easy. If it's a speed work day I do 1-2 miles easy, then do a dynamic warmup (i.e. butt kicks, high knees, skipping, leg swings etc…) For long or faster runs I try to do the last mile as cool down, sometimes I forget. I like to search youtube for yoga or stretches for runners and do about 10 minutes after, but honestly I don't do it enough. My muscles don't really ever get sore, (although I do get tendon? tightness in my hips) but I know if I stretch I will have a better run next time 0

A couple of years ago, my warm up would consist of walking the first couple hundred yards and then start running. Once I got into distances above 5 miles, I found that my calves hurt all the time including in between runs. I suffered a knee injury (or two really) that sidelined me for a couple of months. When I went back to running, i made a commitment to stretching out my calves before and after each run. I do a modified version of the curb stretch where I put my toes up on a post or wall with my heel on the ground and lean forward into it, after a handful of those I do the standard "touch your toes" thing. Before the run, I do these stretches as repeats, but after the run I do them as static stretches where I stretch and hold for a couple seconds at a time. It takes less than five minutes on each end, but since I started stretching I've had zero problems with my calves even though I'm logging higher mileage than I did before. I think the stretching has also helped me to avoid a recurrence of the knee problems.
