So funny! But, really, a mob of Kangaroos? Wow!

@runner_girl83 thanks. I will try some exercises — i have been stretching more often recently @WhatmeRunning thanks for the comment. I had the pain on and off for a while and visited a sports doctor and a physical therapist. They were not too concerned—did not think i had tendinitis. But thought i needed to strengthen the…

to all experienced runners. A question. So, I ran for ten miles yesterday. It was somewhat slow, 8:45 pace. I had such a good time running. However, I had heel and achilles tightness and pain in both feet. I iced both most for the day. Pain was a 7 or an 8 for a few hours when I walk, but because of the icing (me thinks),…

I was totally inspired by @Stoshew71 's post and blogs: http://therunningstan.blogspot.com/2016/01/reverse-taper-base-building.html and http://therunningstan.blogspot.com/2016/01/a-new-year-of-training.html also the videos he posted! Thanks @Stoshew71 I wanted so bad to work on base building. Am not sure Stan will support…

Happy new year everybody. I had a less than hoped for December, 52.4/80, but did as much as possible under the circumstances (too busy, injury, etc.). This month I am in for 70 miles. 1/1 5.6--mostly on streets because of snow and ice on not-well-shoveled sidewalks. good start though.

I'm totally in! Thanks @Stoshew71 and @skippygirlsmom

@runner_girl83 sound like good presents. I bought my wife a fitbit charge hr for her birthday in the beginning of december and that was interesting: in a couple of days she/we discovered that her resting heart rate is actually very high :( between 100 and 120. nothing particularly dangerous in the tests and we don't know…

I am so worried about life becoming so busy and injury too painful--taking me away from running. Have to fight that off! 12/12 5.20 12/6 3.41 12/8 5.58 12/10 4.54 12/13 6.01 12/15 3.59 12/19 4.16 12/21 5.62 12/25 6.50

@kareF excellent question and i enjoyed looking at the different ways that people got into running. I never ran before i was 53. Started when i was diagnosed with diabetes :( i loved it, but ended up quitting in four months (I had a knee injury and had no experience with running or connection with runners to understand the…

Congrats to all the runners. Congrats on your marathon and time @Stoshew71 1/12 5.20 miles. i wasn't gong to run, but then decided to do it since it's the first day of the month and i'd like to get started with a good attitude :) 1/6 3.41 1/8 5.58 1/10 4.54 12/13 6.01

@Stoshew71 at 3:38:05 what a speedy one. Congratulations!

I officially have achellies tendinitis :( I think I just caused it by playing soccer really hard this past Sunday and not taking enough time off to rest. Any words about how serious something like this is? how imperative it is that I not run or run slow or run little? I did access so much information on the web--like what…

welcome @zmcgrandles good job on the c25k. did it only four months ago! @FitLife1515 congrats on the 5k and good luck on the 10k or 15k! very ambitious. @moyer566 excellent start of the month! @patrikc333 @kristinegift @moyer566 @morningghost44 @karllundy @Stoshew71 @ericsmi @GBrady43068 @Marissaxzxzxz @whatMeRunning…

80 miles and hopefully I will meet the challenge this month after falling short in November! Maybe I will commit to @virkati 's idea to make up the November different of about 11 miles. I will try to do that. and make it 91 miles.

11/1 4.71 miles 11/2 no run—elliptical for an hour though! 11/3 5.27 miles — lake path. here are a couple of pictures! 11/4 no run--elliptical for an hour. 11/5 4 miles--nice run, but my left calf decided to go crazy today for some reason! I did finish my run, although the last mile was painful, like a cramp, but not fully…

@karef I cannot pretend to know what you're going through, but when i go through similar sorts of emotions and when i notice that i am being hard on myself, I keep reminding myself to be at least as kind to myself as i am to friends, family members, or even strangers. And, here is to you and to the best outcome! 11/1 4.71…

@Elise4270 what is the title of the book? i will definitely get it @Orphia thanks--that's helpful!

@ACSL3 enjoy your visit home and have a great weekend @elise4270 sorry about the weather, but hey, do tell us about the book. you’re giving me a great idea of reading something light on running, hmm! @courtenaymichele congrats on the turkey trot. @ddmom0811 i’ve been running in 20-something degrees weather in the last…

@kareF I'm so sorry you have to go through this, but so glad also you and dr. think you got it early enough. Be safe and take care of you! @_nikkiwolf_ sorry about the toe and glad it's not broken. Sounds painful though! @skippygirlsmom wonderful runs, you and skippy are amazing! way to go! @dennie24 you're doing amazing…

@kareF what @Amandajs232 said above. i use nike app on iPhone and it works really, really well. i have no problems with it at all.

Need to run way more if I am to meet my goal.
