    My son finally signed-up, this AM. Which has me wondering if there have ever been 2 or more generations participating in the running game competition, before...?

     

    Oooh, that could make head to head competitions interesting if you end up on different teams.

      We have similar mileage goals, so I'd be very surprised if we ended up on the same team...it should be fun smack-talking for a year! Tongue

      Consistently Slow

        It looks like I am going to start the year off with an injury. I dropped my mileage by 400 miles from  2022. Hoping to be able to adjust the mileage in June. In the past two months, I  had 100 miles total.

        Run until the trail runs out.

          It happens. I'm dealing with some hip nonsense. I think I'll be taking the last couple of weeks of this year mostly off to see if I can't get that to settle-down. I hate yoga, but I might try to get 3-4 good sessions in while I rehab this, in lieu of runs.

           

          I'm also starting with a somewhat more conservative goal, then planning to bump it up, mid-year, if things go well.

            Not sure what your hip issue is, but be careful with the yoga and  stretching.  A few weeks ago, I did a mobility workout since those ate supposed to be "good" for you. Lots of hip opening stuff. My hip has not been right since. Running actually didn't bother it. Laying on my side or back was the worst. I've decided less hip flexibility is perfectly fine.

              I second this ^... Some muscles are meant to be "tight" in order to keep things in place.  The hip is tied to the groin and the lower back (among other things), and both the groin and the lower back muscles should not be (over)stretched if there is an injury.  I've learned both of those things the hard way.  And then was told, after the fact, by a physical therapist. 

              Good luck!!

                It's mostly the too-much-sitting lateral muscles (I blame my binge-watching hobby, ha!). I have chronic tight iliopsoas issues (confirmed during a tri-bike fit). Lately it's even been achey at night. Pigeon pose feels SO good.

                    IR doesn't carry over when the year resets the game. If you need IR, let us know that first week. We've done different things with IR to start the year. No one starts on IR, but sometimes if we get a partial week to start that isn't competition, we can use it for IR. We won't know how that goes until the game has started and we see the sched. Does that make sense?

                          Hey Step, I think your DS is ready!

                           

                          I can't get him to run much any more - he might throw in a mile on a lark while out for a walk. And since he has several hours of cart running on his work schedule this week, I think he'd look at me like I have 2 heads. LOL. It would have been easier to talk him into it at 6 than 16.

                          20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.

                            The individual game is great for anyone who doesn't want to have to worry about not hitting their goal mileage for the week and letting a team down. Individuals in the game still show up on the results so you can see how you compare to other runners.

                             

                            But yes, team registration will close after tomorrow.

                             

                            General Notice to All Participants: When the teams are formed, I will post an announcement in this thread and the 2023 Game forum will be opened to the public. Please do not start messaging me on Tuesday morning to ask what team you are on or what the password is for the 2023 forum. When the information is ready, I will let you all know!
