GUYS I RAN A MILE AND A HALF ALL AT ONE TIME.

It was amazing. No toe complaints whatsoever. Spent 7 hours standing at a concert last night with no toe issues, plus walking around a bunch before the show started, and when I started running today after walking the first mile I was like "fuck it I'll just see how far I can go without stopping". Hit 1.5 miles and decided I would be tempting fate to push too much farther this soon.

Sweet Lauren!

But if it has anything to do with my lifting, wouldn't other parts be suffering? It's just my quads that is sore and I must admit, I haven't really been focusing on strengthening my quads.... if and when I do leg work, it mainly is the glutes and a little bit of hammies.

I've been doing both since February,  and I have cut back the lifting, both days and time. Both are the only things that have kept me sane and strong lately. Dealing with this bullshit bookkeeping Fuck up our old CPA's got us in, I've been overly stressed and drained but our new CPA definitely show promise and concern for us, unlike the last. I'm still stressed,  but feeling somewhat better.

Having something that is sore is pretty normal for me. If it's not that spot on my shin, it's my hip, or my knee, my achilles, my calves.  Not an injury but I seem to always have something that feels like it could become one. But really, taking easier/shorter days, not doing back to back hard workouts and taking rest days is usually enough to 'manage' it.  Maybe some foam rolling.  A lot of time though, it's hard workout flares it up, an easy day or two is enough to make it feel better enough to make it through another hard workout.  I just think... when you are marathon training, it's somewhat expected to have an issue.  You mentioned that it felt fine for your run but was sore after? It's good to be aware of these things but I don't think it's unusual to have "something"...  (or a couple "somethings")

+1 on everything said here.

Having something that is sore is pretty normal for me. If it's not that spot on my shin, it's my hip, or my knee, my achilles, my calves, my feet, my arns, my hands, my stupid face, my back, my front, my top, my bottom, my bank account. Read Cy's siggy FFS, there is always something. I just pour iodine on them shits and keep right on trucking,

 

Run until that shit goes away and if it doesn't, DSU.

Pretty much. Anyway, if I took a day off every time I had something hurting I wouldn't get anywhere.

Speaking of sore, I have a massage Friday. I wish today was Thursday. I am beat the hell up. lol
