Power walking uphill with five pound heavy hand weights. (you don't just hold them) is easy on my knees. I was a runner for many years until two knee surgeries and knee pain made me switch to power walking. With the heavy hands it's easily equivalent to running.

Today was day 3, and i easily shaved 10 minutes off my hour.

A solid 40 minutes running and i've picked up the pace considerably. Infact i find it easier to run at high exertion with big steps while kicking the feet higher, than slow and little steps.

I hardly feel any negative signs now, and my shoes feel "broken in."

I feel great!

Sounds good. Run on people. I think I may have to quit. At least temporarily though I can remember running cross-country in high school before I started smoking cigarettes eheh... :thumbup:

You need to measure off the distance you run and time yourself..it is so nice to see that you have improved your time.

I hate to suggest google ("hey, google it!"), but just google the route.

Google doesn't work at my location (im on a remote small island)

Anyways, i was totally run out after running 7 days straight. Took a day off, and then had an aggrevated shoulder so took another day off. Feeling good today, but shoulders wrecked.

After breaking the cycle its hard to get back into it - hoping to get back to it tommorow.

Once you get running, you will feel great. All that soreness will work itself out and you will feel exhilarated :smile:

I'm really going to start this, I think. I ran a lot last winter but ended up fucking up my knee. It's feeling much better these days so I guess I'll just bundle up and go. I wake up at odd times right now because my sleep schedule is all funky but maybe having a set 'run time' will help.

Damn I hate winter. I had trouble getting motivated to run this summer but I still did it quite often. Now that winter is here, it's almost impossible for me to even get out of the house.

Yep im done. I went for a shorter run today and it definately irritates my shoulder - I need to take it easy and let that heal. Im moving to somewhere very cold in the next couple weeks.

I solemnly swear ill run at least 4 days a week from spring on.

I wonder what it is about running that causes your shoulder to hurt? Have you checked the way that you are holding your hands when you run? Are you clenching them too tightly? Anyway you could start with kettle bells to keep your cardio up until you start running again, it might also strengthen your shoulder, if this is an ongoing problem. Look on dragondoor.com and see what you think.

i believe i have a strained rhomboid muscle.

So running while trying to heal an injury, is counter productive.

Yeah I did the exact same thing, I went to a doctor, apparently repetitive use of the muscle is realy bad, even though my shoulder feels a lot better now she told me to take it easy for the next 2 weeks :frown:

:frown:

Which sucks because I'm going a bit stir crazy not being able to go for a run or a surf :mad2:
