Hi, just thought I would officialy introduce myself, I've been lurking here for a little over a month (OK I've made some replies Blush

) Anyhoo, my name is Chris and I'm a runner...this is where you all say "Hi Chris"...oh wait thats AA Big grin

I live in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada where I work as a Paramedic, or as sometimes happens 'not work'...EMS stands for Earn Money Sleeping if you were wondering!! I'm 37, OK 38 in March, I started running when I was 16, ran a half marathon...actually walked most of it...I was 16 and I did ZERO training, then I gave up running for nearly 20 years started back up again a couple of years ago, wandered around aimlessly in the barren wastelands of no actual training plan, then decided I would like to run a marathon before I am 40, so thats when I started training, so I'm running the 'Hypothermic Half Marathon' on Feb 10th then the Saskatchewan Marathon, May 25th and if I feel up to it the Queen City Marathon on September 14th (We'll play that one by ear Big grin

) So as you can see when I set my mind to something I go balls out, maybe thats why I I just got over Shin splints, PF and still have a pesky IT band problem...none of this stopped my running, maybe I"m dumb or I like to think I HTFU! So now I've bored you all to tears I shall take my leave and feel better in the knowledge that my next post/reply will be made under the assumption that you read this and now know who I am Roll eyes

Run like you stole it!

Welcome aboard! Read up a bit on training priciples from guys like Daniels and Pfitzinger and train a bit smarter and you should be able to fend off those pesky injuries.

Who are the Riders and what do they suck? Confused

Be yourself. Those that matter, don't mind. Those that mind, don't matter.

Riders are a Canadian Football Team - Saskatchewan Roughriders. They suck at football.... despite being the champions in 2007. Argos are the team based in Toronto... and since people from Toronto believe we live in the Centre of the Universe we think everyone/everything else sucks. Big grin

Welcome! Try a foam roller for your IT band injury. It really helped me. I also found I was wearing the wrong shoes.
