My plan is to requalify so I can go back and visit longer. Never been to philadelphia, maybe I better check it out sometime.<BR/><BR/>Run Far!Janice {Run Far}https://www.blogger.com/profile/15336320481965470701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258770266685196971.post-61239352555129535352008-12-10T00:07:00.000-05:002008-12-10T00:07:00.000-05:00I would suggest working on your core, abs and back...I would suggest working on your core, abs and back.<BR/><BR/>After I got injured last year EVERYONE kept banging this into my head. If I wanted to keep running injury-free and stronger, I needed a stronger back (especially lower) and abs. Once your legs fatigue, it's up to your core to keep you upright and going and if it's not strong, your form gives out and that's when your legs get injured.<BR/><BR/>So I worked on it this year while I was training for Philly and it REALLY helped.<BR/><BR/>Also, biking on the trails around here on my days off really built up my leg strength!<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps a little!

Sorry about your knee and achilles though! I think the base of around 15- 20 miles would be good to start and build from. Also just doing the long runs (8+) once a week once you get into it. I am the same with #s. I get obsessed!!!N.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07718741327199643323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258770266685196971.post-19149769158782972032008-12-09T16:49:00.000-05:002008-12-09T16:49:00.000-05:00ahh the recovery phase... it's so weird that we fi...ahh the recovery phase... it's so weird that we find relaxing hard.RunToTheFinishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995696358152941044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258770266685196971.post-84605151023689494622008-12-09T15:58:00.000-05:002008-12-09T15:58:00.000-05:00Congrats on your marathon.

Go to Allrecipes.com and search for "Black Bean Vegetable Soup." That's a pretty good and healthy one that requires a food processor. I add cilantro and a dollop of fat free sour cream to it and I think it's pretty good.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170716245010319989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1258770266685196971.post-84450466508871287922008-12-09T12:36:00.000-05:002008-12-09T12:36:00.000-05:00Having a good mileage base is so important.

You should increase your mileage by a VERY little amount each week. I forget the percentage they recommend but it's seriously only a mile or two increase each week or you run a higher risk of getting hurt. Good luck!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07202296893022308340noreply@blogger.com
