I currently run on a treadmill in my living room. It's too hot here in the summer to run outside and by the time it cools off enough to run, it's already dark. I am hoping that as we get closer to fall, it will be easier for me to run outside...

BeccaB,

Where in MI are you at? I grew up outside of Detroit and my parents are in Rochester Hills.

I have been running/doing triathlons since 2005... and I sit here today, in pain from a run I did last night.

For me, it's never gone away. It's just an ongoing torture fest. I just refuse to let it win. I WILL BEAT IT! HA!

I have this weird lower leg pain that comes and goes. I went to a running coach for 6 months and stopped running in hopes of fixing my pain. I fixed one pain but acquired a new one.

Eh, that's just how it goes. I suffer through it and keep moving forward.

I also found that it's less painful if I do a walk/run combo. I will do a 3 minute walk/2 minute run combo. That helped a lot with my marathon training.
