I took myself out for a 24 minute run yesterday evening. Not sure what the distance was, but it felt good. Am paying for it this morning, though as I'm so tired I just didn't have the energy to go to Pilates earlier [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-sleeping.gif[/img]

Will be doing weights at lunchtime and I plan to run tomorrow and Friday. Slowly easing myself back into running [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70384-praying.gif[/img]

Edit: I've just taken a look at Coolbeans 'couch to 5k' link. That's where I need to start, then build up. I've finally realised that I can't abuse the body anymore.

Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

G. 30 minutes is good, at least you got out there.
as for your shins...you really have to check the shoes AND evaluate the surface of what you are running on (ie. road, cement, indoor track floor, treadmill). you dont want shin splints cah dem tings [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/dizzy.gif[/img]

Looks like the running crew are back [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bannana_purple.gif[/img]

Took my lazy body out at lunchtime but only on the treadmill as it was a little too cold for my thin clothes. Managed 20 mins of run/walk, then 20 mins on the stairmaster. Feel pretty good, if a little tired.

Got Pilates tomorrow so that's a good way to end the working week [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70371-jump.gif[/img]

Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

Well I finally did a Sunday morning run and boy was it a struggle! However, I'm keeping to the run/walk programme so that helped a lot, even though my legs felt like lead. That might have been the after effects of a late night chinese though [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img]

Nice and sunny morning so quite a few runners/joggers/cyclists were about. A little chilly though. My fingers certainly needed gloves. Again, I have no idea of mileage, but I suspect it was around 2 miles.

Off to stretch now and have a relaxing Sunday [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/nahnahnay.gif[/img]

Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

went out this morning for an easy run....
legs are still kinda stiff from the cycle yesterday, but you know what they say the easiest way back from soreness is to do what caused the soreness in the 1st place [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70456-eyebrows.gif[/img] but since i wasnt riding another bike (at least for today). I did 5 miles...ahhhhh.

Then pilates [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/discosmilie.gif[/img]

Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

Just finished cooling down from a looong run...I'm estimating that I did 10 miles. Still haven't reached my goal of 13 miles but I'm working on it. Having a lot of aches and pains...my right hip especially will feel like it is grinding once as I get on a downhill.

Anyway, mi gaawn outside fi finish up the yard work.

Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crybaby.gif[/img] I was supposed to do 7 miles yesterday...by mile 4 my knee was hurting pretty bad...hubby said to stop...I didnt and about another 1.4 mile and I couldnt go any further on it. Walked the next 2 miles. AFraid of what this means...and not sure what to do.

There is no swelling...no pain once I started walking...no pain now. just every once in a while...with a step..I get a shooting pain right behind my knee cap.

Anyone ever have this? I really want to run this 1/2 marathon in June...but if I cant even train without hurting...what can I do????????????????????????? [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

Sharp pain is never, ever good. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]
I would go see a doctor immediately.

Re: Where are all the RUNNERS???

It could be a worn out cartiledge---you definitely do not want an ACL tear. Go easy with the knee!! 6 yrs ago I did a full open knee surgery and to this day the old knee get stiff and achy whenever I run...

I can't tell you how much I'm anxious for April 14th to come and go. It'll be one of those things that I can say "I've done it!"--a one time affair...we'll see [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif[/img]

Nosying in on you. Did your current Mr. ILP do any of the 5 miles with you? If not, did he carry any water bottles for you and a towel. Did he meet you at the end of it all?

Just nosying on how long your current Mr ILP will remain current or be a thing of the past as were the rest of `em.
