I've been going to a physical therapist for a couple of months for my shoulder. They always say to me that pops in the shoulder and knee are normal and fine. So there is that, but I think @SummerSkier is right, it sounds like scar tissue through the slots in your knee. The advise I've heard is keeping doing it right up…

OMG, due to some laziness, procrastinating, COVID, recovery, etc I have done a "Legs" resistance training in about a month. On friday I went back in and did one, using lighter weights. On Saturday I felt good so went back in and did another upper body session. The onset of muscle soreness was delayed and by Saturday night…

I ran 3.82M at 11'46 after work tonight. Nice temps.

I ran 1.31M at 15'18, just a lazy hot loop around the hood.

I ran 4.05M at 14'34 It is the first cool morning (well 12:30 p.m.) in a month.

@SummerSkier Good news you are on the mend. Those ankle and knee injuries can get to be real problems. Hopefully you've got through the worst of it.

I dusted off my trainers and ran 3.48M at 13'31. I hope to have a gentle and slightly productive week ahead.

Hello @CMorning99 that's great. A lot of my family live there, and some work on the base at Vandenberg. I also went to Uni nearby at Cal Poly SLO. It's a truly beautiful area of rugged mountains, raging seas and mostly year round good weather. World class place to be outside and active.

Hey @CMorning99 There is a T-10 miler at Vandenberg and the highs are 70 degrees and fog That's good to know. That is a remote and beautiful place for a run and the internet says it's free. Are you on the west coast too? Are you thinking about the run?

British? Not so much. Most posters here do seem to reside in the British Commonwealth.

Hey @Zaxa2021 It was the first time I ran a 10k in under an hour, so I am pretty happy with how it went. That's great! taking time off worked.

I walked a loop around my neighborhood. It hilly. Here's my elevation graph. It feels good to move around.

Beautiful nonetheless, straight off the coast where I grew up is an arch on Anacapa island. Last year I vacationed in Baja California, Mexico and in Cabo San Lucas they have a beautiful arch. Thank you for all the well wishes. I'm recovering and it seems to be much more mild than my first go round in 2022. I'm wondering…

@yirara Thanks for the pictures. Where is the arch? @tarun_yadavA Palm Springs is desert glam! There was great company. Exotic delicious homemade Sri Lankan cuisine. The house was perhaps the most opulent place I've ever stayed. Now I am home and enflamed with COVID. It has had a large recurrence here in California and I…

I am traveling for a few days to Palm Springs, CA for a friend's 80th Birthday party. I will probably do nothing more vigorous then slipping into the swimming pool for a few minutes to cool off. I have been on an eating plan, and I make everything myself, but not the next few days. I am going to try and enjoy that without…

I ran a tarunesque 3.33M at 14'08. The heat broke a bit and I waited until close to sunset so it was pretty shady.

I ran 1.15M at 15'39. I have cut back so I just wanted to get out and get warmed up.

Sure @Zaxa2021 You have a big goal (100) I hope to see you here meeting that big number. Will you start mixing in some outdoor training along with the treadmill as you get closer to your race date?

Hi @Kizzy_Ann I'm happy to see you posting here in the Sept Running Challenge. This is a high volume group, so it's great for getting daily support, motivation, and encouragement. Posting your goal and checking in regularly really works. I hope to see you around.

September Running Goal: 45 miles 7.3 lbs.weight loss (174.0 lbs -> 166.7 lbs) ———————————————————— I'm Chris; I live in San Diego, California. In this last month I continued to reduce my resistance training. I did met my running goal. I must step it up this month and make sure I get my gym time, and get both running and…

Here we are @gamommy2 @lucysclark @Zaxa2021 @micukica for the September Running Challenge. It is the beautiful thing about this thread, like Groundhog's Day, last month's runs are a memory and we all get to start again fresh in the new month's challenge. I hope to see you here for September.

I ran 4.09M at 14'26 out at the lake. Hottest temp run of the year. Aug/Sept/Oct are the hottest months out here. In August I ran 47.6M with a 45M goal.

@SummerSkier LOL 60 to 0 is pretty easy. Yes, and what is hard, with our pride, ego, and delusions that we are 28 y/o is going from 0 to 59 gracefully. You are inspiring us by example. Here's to good health in September; 🍻

flaccid, saggy, hypermobile leg muscles are prone to injury. Strong, harder muscles hold up better to running….that's what I got from this. Makes sense. My yoga teacher used to always say it was the super flexible students who tended to injure themselves.

Brace yourself for a stiff pint at the brewery.

Fancy finishers medal @WarmJellyfish! Congrats on finished with only one shoulder.

@John772016 Very good news about your knee, as it didn't sound good.

I ran 3.29M at 14'37. Another hot day.

I ran 2.47M at 14'03 this evening just as the sun was setting. It's been pretty hot and humid, I turned on my air conditioner today. Cool is forecast next week.

Get well soon. Spring and warmer weather is on its way.
