    Hey, did y'all get the email about the April streak thingy we get free entry for for being signed up for Run the Year? Prizes to be had and all, it says. I kinda like the medals too (sucker for bling, me, especially as finisher medals only come with long races here) but again, international shipping costs more than the thing itself so I get to dream on.
    Talking of which, I'm sure someone when we signed up for this promised to post photos of their stuff for those of us too poor to ship it to drool over. What happened to that? lol

    @eleanorhawkins - I had not seen the email and then checked because you mentioned it. Looks like fun and it doesn't have to be running. I also like that they are donating money to provide school clothes for kids.

    I will take a picture of the medal for RTY and post it ... actually thought someone had done that previously though

    They may well have done and I didn't notice, my brain isn't what it used to be lol. I blame hormones (that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it!)

    @elise4270 - if you can workout at all you can participate. The streak is based on exercise, 20 mins of other exercise = 1 mile! Maybe working with your crutches?

    Yeah @Elise4270 , even yoga counts so I'm sure you could claim a mile for every 20 minutes of physio/stretch/post-op recovery type stuff ;-)

    Ooohhh perhaps swimming or stationary bike. I cant do yoga. I have some nerve damage (lef hip), and any pulling on that nerve is a no-no.

    Off to Dallas! Wish me paitents riding with dh... 😱

    Forgot to post my race results!

    https://www.itsyourrace.com/Results/9093/2019/85395/857

    Is it possible for an injury to show up the day after? Stupid knee!

    @mwurtzberger nice!
    Totally possible, mine actually showed up on the Wednesday after racing on Sunday. Did you stretch afterwards? I failed to do so and had already (according to the physiotherapist) very contracted muscles before I even ran the HM, and they finally decided they weren't going to play any more on my second post-race run. Felt like a hot metal clamp round my knee but was really all muscle. Stretch stretch and stretch again, and if it doesn't go away or gets worse get it checked out.

    I wouldn't say I stretched, but I definitely walked another 1/2 mile afterwards. Its a sharp pain to the inside of my kneecap. It's been getting less sharp as the day goes so I think I just did something weird to it last night #old. lol

    Looks like MFP TEAM MOREORLESS (B) has a slot available. @amymoreorless , you interest in another teammate?

    @BB_1033 might check the RTE/RTY site an see if registration is still open. I think it closes in March, but not sure on that,

    I just wanted to repost the spreadsheet that @elise4270 made a while ago to make it easier for us to find each other on YTY. If you have a moment and haven't put in your YTY name, please update so we can follow each other there.
    Its in google docs and anyone should be able to update it

    Been missing in action for some months but now back at it. Running has been slow and painful (and still is) with an injured knee but I am just getting on with it. Will keep trying to add miles to Run Happy!

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    Don! Didn't know you were injured! Hope it's going better... I'll try to step up ;) That said, Summer is coming here in Phoenix, so it's going to get tougher I think...
