A question for runners...

Knee Issues? Help!
I'm training for my first half marathon, on May 5, and I've been following my training plan with good progress. Today was a scheduled CT/Strength Training day. I started doing 30DS on level 2, but about 20 minutes in, while bending down to a squat my right knee felt weird, like a tightness when I was bending it. I stopped…

Anyone up for an EXTREME 30DS Challenge?
I've never really posted on here - but thought that someone else might want to join me. Here is the deal... My second mini-goal is coming up in 135 days. (DH's bday) To reach my goal of dropping 25 pounds in that time, I need a plan. (Then, my next major goal is in June 2012.) Here is my plan: Day 1 - 30: Do the 30 Day…
