Short-Term Running Goals:

I've been a very active runner since High School ( I usually run 5-6 days a week) but I have yet to run a Marathon or any other competitive race since then. I want to get back into competitive running and hopefully have similar results like in High School. Although, last January 09 I got shin splints really bad and it took a good 6 months of rest and rehab to finally get back in the groove. I would like to run a sub 8 minute mile on my first Marathon but maybe I should just worry about finishing it first?

Long-Term Running Goals:

I want to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

Personal:

I'm 42 years old and I'm married! I enjoy the outdoors (Hunting, Camping, Backpacking)

Overall time: 30:10. First run in about a month and a half. I felt ok for the most part. Towards the end I was definitely sucking in air. I think riding the bike at the gym for that month off kept me in decent shape. Hopefully the weather will stay good and I can continue to get back in shape. I did notice my ITB band was acting up a bit in my right leg. I thought for sure a month off would of healed it. Does anybody know if riding a stationary bike would cause issues with the ITB band? I'm even still doing exercises and stretches for it.

Riding a bike shouldn't be too impacting, now. It may just be a little tight. Make sure you are rolling it often. In fact, heat it up with a pad, roll it, then ice it. It'll get worked out quick. Welcome back.

Any other outings? The temps are nice, but the air is poo.

After I ran on Monday I could hardly walk the next couple of days! My quads are sooo sore and tight. I think what happened was after I ran I stretched my quads really good and I did some excercises for my shin splints and ITB band. I honestly haven't done those exercises for a while. That may have caused the soreness but I don't know, I've never been this sore before. Maybe it is due to not running for a month or so but who knows. My quads feel better today but I think I'm going to lay off the running for a couple more days.
