    we-defy-augury asked: I've been reading through your tumblr, and you're such an inspiration! I love the bible verse underneath your 'about' section :)
    I just wanted to ask, how do you deal with leg pains?
    I get pretty bad shin splints, as well as pains in my ankles and knees, so I was wondering if you had any advice for what to do about that. it's putting me off running, which sucks. :(
    also any advice on how to deal with overall muscle soreness after runs would be much appreciated.
    thanks :)

    Thank you! About leg pains, I’ve only had ITBS so far, and for that I went to an ortho. I was advised to incorporate stretching and strength training into my running. I’m doing yoga now but I’m too lazy to do strength training.

    About muscle soreness, stretching after runs helps, as well as ice baths (I’ve never done that though - I just take a bath with cool water). Hope that helps!

About

I am new to running. I started running in February 2010, and I decided to take it up because I wanted to be fitter and I wanted to feel stronger.

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

Ask me anything.
