Take It and Run Thursday: Overcoming Injuries
Welcome to Take It and Run Thursday!
It's our way to bring together the knowledge of all of us ordinary runners. It's the virtual equivalent to putting our virtual heads together. Even though many of us aren't elite athletes, coaches or authors, it doesn't mean that we haven't earned a well deserved PhD in running. Whether you are starting out, have 50 years of running under your belt or somewhere in between - all of us have lessons learned that make us wiser and better runners.
Today's theme is .... Overcoming Injuries.
Spring fever brings spring running which can lead to springtime injuries. Share your tips of how you overcome or rehab an injury. Pass along the exercises, therapy, strengthening, stretches or pain relief of choice. And don't forget to tell us about the mental piece - how do you keep it together when you have to stop running. Tell us about resources like other websites, gear - anything that will make the injuries go away forever.
It's quick and easy! Just post your name and the title/topic of your post in the first spot and the link to your post in the second spot. And then read and enjoy!
Next Week's Theme is ... Hydration. Let's talk water, H2O, aqua, and the other lifelines of hydration. How much is enough? Tell us what you do in your training runs and during races. How do you hydrate when you are not running? Are you a water purist or do you like to mix it up with the other varieties on the market? What are your drinking habits for getting enough liquids, especially as we move into the warm months? (I will leave it to your imaginations on how to interpret that question. :})

Important topic. I look forward to reading the various posts but have to get back to work now.
