Took 3 days rest from my last run and tonight i ran 11 minutes! Wow i can't believe it. First leg was 5.5 minutes then 3.5 minutes then 2 minutes each time with about two minutes walk in between.
Knees feel good, legs are getting stronger and my wind is coming along.
I'm liking this, i feel very healthy
Great progress Wayne! Every day seems to be a new personal record (PR) for you. Nothing breeds success like success

Do you just not like the cold or are you uncomfortable? Most runners prefer cold weather and much of the discomfort can be eliminated with proper clothing.

I want to joint this group! I like to run, and this is the first group i have seen on here like this. i always try to follow groups, but then get a little lost! is there anyway to tag a group so i can follow conversations and everyone's progress?
Sure. Go up to the top and click on the lower blue bar which says "Thread Tools" and then choose "Subscribe to this thread". Every time someone posts, you'll be notified whenever you click "User CP" (on the top blue bar).
Wayne - nothing any of us say to encourage you can do more than the feeling you get when you keep moving - pretty amazing isn't it? But, even though I can't top that, I'll tell you I got excited by your post, great to see accomplishments!
Abby

Do you have any advice for how to lace up running shoes properly? I must be doing something wrong. Sometimes my toes/feet get a little numb, I've gotta stop and loosen the laces and then they return to normal. But I don't want to have them too loose at the beginning where they wiggle.
Thanks
Vito

Loosen the laces closest to the toebox. The lacing across the middle should be tight as there's where the fit of the shoes is most important. You might also check the fit overall, your shoes may be too narrow in the toebox.

I think I'm OK in the toebox, it's definitely not narrow. They are Brooks, and as you know Brooks are known for having wide toe boxes. I've just been lacing them poorly.
Because they are so wide at the toebox, I've had the laces tightest there. Backwards from what they should be apparently.

Went out for an early but chilly run this morning-it was about 37* when I hit the trail. I wore the perfect amount of clothes and did not overheat once I got going- wore shorts & my under armor long sleeve shirt.
Ran a comfortable 6.5 miles in a about an hour, I've also got a 5k race on Turkey day and need to get acclimated to the colder temps.
It was also neat watching the mist rise off of the river and hearing all the birds chirping & singing and I even saw a deer on the trail. It was a very relaxing sat. morning run.
