Thanks very much for the kind words. For the time being I'll lift weights and dust off the bike...can I drink my cup of Tim's while cycling?

For the third time this summer my calf is causing me a lot of grief. In June I was on an early evening run when I felt a sharp pain in my left calf, it was so bad that I had to completely stop my run and walk home. After 10 days or so of rest & ice, plus some accupuncture the leg felt ok so I di...

That was a neat little story with a great message!

On the shelf from running - my leg is swollen - so I lifted weights this evening. Stress relief!

If I'm feeling a pain or what feels like an injury, I stop immediately (having tried to run through it in the past...wrong move). I really should practice what I preach. Yesterday I was having a good run, steady pace, beautiful weather and it was along my favourite route, by our waterfront. Around ...

hmmmm so how do we define 'junk'?...........beer definitely isn't junk, it's called carb loading!

So many excellent comments here. I am not a parent - hopefully one day, although it would be easier with a wife... :roll: I coached minor hockey for 17 years and saw a lot of stuff, and many changes from 1979 when I began until 2000 my final year ( there were a few off years in the middle). While we...

After my 1/2 marathon in May I took a few weeks off. Since then I run 3-4 x/week usually 5-10k at a time. I don't do hills or speed work, although on my shorter runs I will run for "time" Most of my runs are steady, enjoyable runs just to get out and enjoy the weather. I personally find it tougher t...

I'm heading our for a 10k this am, having taken the past 2 days off
I need to run off the Chinese food buffet I feasted at last night

If I'm feeling a pain or what feels like an injury, I stop immediately (having tried to run through it in the past...wrong move). If it's fatigue, sluggishness or laziness I take one of two approaches. There are days when I just don't have it, I try to keep going and give it my all but sometimes I h...

I'm having trouble with my calf but managed 80km running, 128km on the bike and 4 hours in lifteing weights. My objective is a minimum 100km running a month, or a combonation of cycling & running where 4km cycling = 1 km running.This month the total was 80 + 128/4 = 112km. Need to put in more ti...

You are sucha strong person. I , for one, don't have the strength to end my realtionship after all these years. I know it's bad for me, but after all this time, the fun, the decadent pleasures....how does one say no. I mean, I'm only human!

D****! Now I have to go for a long run, since I have pizza on my brain now!!

I'm a bit sore today but the weather is so nice I may sneak out for a quick 6k!! This afternoon I'll probably head out to the golf course
Then, of course the bbq will be fired up and put to good use!!

Runningmania...cool name!!

Oh well, its the LONG WEEKEND!!!!

Just take it on step at a time!
