    I started doing Yin Yoga last month and it really helped loosen my legs up, maybe give it try. Just youtube yin yoga for beginners if you want 
    I heard yoga is amazing for that. I have been meaning to try that since my muscles are so tight. Thanks for the reminder!

    the positivity in this thread has brought my faith back in the forum!! I was on here constantly back in 2004-05 and then it just went for a crap so I stopped posting anything but hearing all you guys talk like actual humans to each other is brining me back again. 

    My marathon training is going well, just ran 18 miles on the weekend as my long run and ramping up to 20 miles in a few weeks. GlowGirl And F me in the brain good for you for getting out there and pushing through all this heat, it's been brutal lately 
    I am glad you are finding this thread to be so positive. That is how I feel as well. Even though I don't run competitively as many do here, I find everyone here to be so supportive and motivating. I have also gotten some great tips and advice (shout out to F Me for turning me on to Smartwool products). Good luck with the marathon training. It sounds like you are almost there!!

    Yoga is amazing. I am not sure I would call myself at Yogi, but I have had a regular practice for 11 years. I do vinyasa yoga. I definitely credit it for the fact that I rarely have any knee, hip, or other joint or muscle pain when I run. It is also amazing for balance, and mental health. If you get a chance, give it a try. There are lots of videos online. However, if you have easy access to a yoga studio, it is much better to do it in person with a teacher. Form is really important to prevent injury, and I have found that doing yoga in person can really help in terms of form correction. The other option is that these days many studios are offering live classes on Zoom - so you still get the benefit of a teacher watching you, but don't have to be there in person. Keep us posted.

    I know I said I will wait but I'll just pop this here now. the fund raising has started slowly, my daughter's school have been absolutely incredible during this mess and I'm trying to just raise a little money to help them with all they do for the kiddies.

    Worst time on any long run, by far....but I finished, with some walking.  Fucking humidity and heat.....it'll be a while before I complain about the cold.  Today was probably my least favorite heat related day in my life.  Was totally miserable for the last few hours.  
    Oh well - finishing when miserable is the name of the game, for me.  :lol:.

    I think I mentioned before I store these runs with easy access in the memory bank. These memories are the ones that get you through a tough race. Remember how shit it was and how you smashed the granny out of it 👊

    Ha - I like the idea of smashing the granny out of it.

    The heat and humidity are nasty today. Today would normally be a run day for me but I am visiting some friends in the Hamptons. So instead of a run day it’s a beach day for me. I did run yesterday though - but on the treadmill. I am a wimp.

    Fucking smashed the granny out of it, this morning.  :lol:.   

    Beat my time from last week by 27 minutes, while running an additional mile - 18 instead of 17 miles.  No walking.  Fastest mile was my 18th

    Changed a few things and was helped by a steady rain for the first 90 minutes.  While it was still hot as fuck I had the grime washed away and didn't get really overheated until the last 30-45 minutes and by that point I was on fire and determined to build to the last mile being fastest.

    Only issue was my headphones stopped working halfway through.  Will need to investigate.  Could be they didn't appreciate the rain like I did.  ☔
