    I may join in on this. Just finished my 2nd half and will start back on training again soon for my first full marathon.

    OK, I started a strava group. It's at: http://www.strava.com/clubs/mfpmnthlychlng

    I invited some of you already. If you didn't get an invite, I am probably not following you on strava.
    It's a locked group, so i will need to approve requests.

    If you need help setting up a strava account of synching it from your Garmin Connect account, please let me know.

    You'll have to tell me how to join. I don't see a way to join. :hushed:

    Check your notifications, cause I invited you.

    I got it. Thanks! Crisis averted. Love the shirt pic.

    @WhatMeRunning @Elise4270 @7lenny7 I made you all 3 Admins in the strava group. Hopefully you don't mind me just appointing you guys without your permission. :blush:

    I realize I may need back-up help (in case I get hit by a car while running on busy roads 5:30 in the morning). So does anyone wish you be an admin in the group page on here?

    @Stoshew71, no problem at all, anything to fuel my power trip! Just kidding, of course. Sure, sign me up for the group page on here too if you wish.

    Hi all! I'm a fairly new runner and logged about 25 miles in February. So my goal for March is 30 miles. I am also finishing up the C25k program and am on week 6- so know it will be easier to get more mileage this month :)

    Oh man. It looks like I should get on Strava! Goodness!

    @ceciliaslater Could the blister be from a sock seam? That sounds like the spot that would get rubbed by one if your socks were on off-kilter.

    Met with personal trainer today to do strength stuff. Talked a bit about the tightness in my hip and she thinks it is just a really tight hip flexor. She suggested foam rolling, static and dynamic stretching before my next run to see if it helps. Has anyone had any experience with this? I have a few stretches she gave me but anything else anyone can recommend that I can do to help it would be great. I don't have a race planned until 6/11 and it is only a 5K but I want to improve my PR not just finish and this is not helping.

    3/1 Easy 2 miles
    3/3 1 mile on Treadmill.


    22 to go.

    Hahaha... I a'int ditchin' y'ous. (my Jersey coming out). I actually made a bunch of you regulars "Leader" in the group page. If I want to add someone, I have to go find them (1728 members) and is not fun. So if I saw you as i was going through the list, I just clicked you as a leader (whether you like it or not). Some of the folks in the group members I don't think I ever saw post in any of these threads. And some I have not seen in months, even over a year. LOL

    OK, you new leaders, don't let it get to your heads (ahem @WhatMeRunning ). And yes @kristinegift Get on strava!!!

    I'm on Strava now, just spent my evening exporting most of my running data across from other apps so it's all on there. I'm glad I have it all in one place now :) I requested to join the group, hope that's OK.

    Found an hour in the middle of a long day at work to get some miles in. Going to try and stick with 5 milers as my minimum distance as I try to ramp my monthly goals into the 100+ range.

    Can some of you Strava users please add me on there (Kevin Kirkbride - 471266)? I need some people to follow, admire, motivate me, etc. Do we have any Strava groups I can join? Thanks in advance.

    3-1: nothing
    3-2: 5 miles

    Just followed you! Your mileage looks very similar to mine. Looking at your followers I took the opportunity to follow @7lenny7 @ceciliaslater @Virkati and @Stoshew71 as well :)

    Did 10k this evening. Really really didn't want to run after getting home from work, but I sucked it up and got out there and wouldn't you know it, I ended up having a lovely run. Legs felt heavy for the first couple of miles, but then I got into a nice rhythm and a little drizzle started and the rest of it just flew by.

    Good lord, what was I thinking when I made this month's training plan? I scheduled 1 day off the whole month, two days before the HM. It's only day 3 and I wanna pass.

    Should be a short run today, walk tomorrow, group Saturday. So I'm not over doing it. Just miss my couch and I ate too much at lunch.. I know, I'll have a look at the Strava leaderboard and see if I can bump someone. ;)

    I also just signed up for Strava. Where were you importing from? If Garmin: was it a huge pain in the butt or is there an easy trick to it?

    So glad people are on strava now. I can stalk people and secretly hate the faster people and make a smug face when I see slower people
