  • @skippygirlsmom - Sorry you two had to give up on the half but it is better then risking further injury. A destination race sounds amazing! @7lenny7 - Good luck on your race! Can't wait to see the race report. @BeeerRunner - Better to be safe then sorry and risk a longer recovery.

  • I am 146 posts behind with no time to catch up. I hope everyone is doing well and their runs are going good. I met with my trainer about my hip and she thinks maybe I just have 1 flexor tighter then the other naturally. I am adding more foam rolling and stretching and she wants me to shorten my runs for a little while and…

  • I think my half marathon might be off the table now. I went out for a planned 9 miler and ended up with 5 instead. My left hip flexor started tightening up in mile 4. I tried stretching it out but it only worked for a few minutes. This happened last week too during my long run. It doesn't hurt, it is just tight and…

  • I buy mostly C9 from Target or Xersion from JC Penny. I second Body Glide for chaffing. I find if by the check outs.

  • LOL I think you and I run at about the same pace. If you ever come to Cleveland, Ohio we can be slow together.

  • Not at all. I am running a race this weekend as a training run for my half in May. I don't plan to race it just take my time and get an idea of what it is like to run in downtown Cleveland in a race setting.

  • My PT had me doing 4 exercises 3 reps once a day and stretching 3-4 times a day. The exercises took maybe 20 minutes to half an hour and the stretches we maybe 5-10 minutes. It was not very time intensive but it also might depend on the injury/issue.

  • I am in month 2 of my half marathon training plan and it calls for 65 miles. So that is what I am in for. March includes a 5 mile race (my longest one to day) but I am planning to use it as a training run and a course preview so no real taper or recovery planned. I think if I hit at least 60 miles total I will be happy.

  • @MNLittleFinn nope you are not the only one and I prefer to think of it as highly focused not obsessed.

  • @BeeerRunner and @ritzvin Thank you for your responses. I am not worried about violence as Southfield is a suburban-ish area. I am worried about the high traffic that is in that area. I am going for a hockey tournament so trying to fit a run in around games times and other team commitments is another issue. I have stayed…

  • This is part of the residential road I run to get to the small park by my house. This is the only portion of the road that has a sidewalk and it is only about .25 mile. Around that corner/hill is a highway overpass and everyone flies around it even though the speed limit is 25 MPH.

I wish they had more pacers for the half for us slower people more just for motivation then a specific time. I think the slowest is 2:30. @HonuNui - I love seeing you snorkeling pictures! They are…
