I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

My SIL called me last night with some good information that I think will work for me. It's from Jeff Galloways running site.  Here is the link. http://jeffgalloway.com/training/injuries.html  I like that I can run/walk once the healing has begun.  He recommends a wak/run ratio of 2:2.  I think this will get me my miles so I can do the 1/2 in 5 weeks.

Yippe!!! It worked :)  I walked for 2 min and then ran for 2.  The knee was fine :)  I walked at 3.5 and then ran at 5 and 6 alternately each running turn.  I rolled and stretched and then ate breakfast :)  I have been taking 300mg of advil 3x's a day since last friday.  On thursday I will do 5 and sat 7, if all goes well.  The run went by really fast :)  I Need a buzzer or something to beep at me every 2 minutes.  I missed one of the switch overs.

Have a GREAT day!!

4.3 out side.  It felt great and I had no issues with the knee.  My SI joint is a bit mad at me.  I don't know what it thinks it is doing.  What a butt ;) bwahahahahahaaaa

I mowed the lawns this afternoon.

I am rolling and stretching, rolling and stretching.

4 miles on the treadmill.  The knee was bugging after 4.  I think I will skip the elliptical next week and see if that is exacerbating the issue or if it is treadmill running.  I do run weird on the treadmill.  I run weird everywhere, but especially the treadmill ;)  My poor daughters friend walked in with me on the treadmill in running shorts and a sports bra.  She is probably scared for life!  Poor thing...

the walk run thing seems to be fitting the bill.  I plan to run walk 8 miles on Sat and then 10 the next saturday.  I have been foam rolling my  right hip like crazy.  My right hip seems to be the cause of my ITBS.  that darn hip :p  I am pretty happy that things are going well.  It's hard to relax and just go with whatever happens.
