Woke up at 4:30 (too stressed to sleep)  at 6 I got up and ran.  I havent run for over a week (I dont like the snow, rain or cold), about a mile into my loop my knee started tightening up, I finished my loop then walked another .5 mile to stretch it out a little.  I still need to be careful.   I fell short of my 25 mile goal for the month, but I made huge progress. Im pleased with my efforts.  Merry Christmas to all!!

Merry Christmas Sunnyrun!!

Congrats on the huge progress. You might want to consider yoga ... really good stretches. There is a dvd that you can buy at Target (and many other places) by Rodney Yee called "AM/PM Yoga." The AM portion is awesome and only lasts about 17 minutes. You might want to give it a try. Have a great Christmas!

Hey, the month is not over yet! You never know! I really think we have the same knee problem, It is just not getting better no matter what. STINK, as Teena would say!

Have a very Merry Christmas in "cold" St George!! Wish I were there! It is an absolute blizzard here today, but we have nowhere to be immediately, so all is well! Have a good one!

Tenna- thanks for the Yoga video tip!! Its been a great thing to do the past 3 days. Knee and leg are feeling better :)

Hope you "Northerns" were able to dig your selves out! I hear it was a VERY white Christmas.
