I haven't the foggiest idea what weighted chihuahua forearm extensions are but once you get comfortable with that, you might start using a Jack Russell. [emoji3]

Very nice forest to be hiking through, I envy you!

Another 24k ride this morning which was cut short due to multiple punctures by a mate. I cycled home and picked my car to give him a lift home.

Afterwards, I converted my 1x9 to a 1x10 by removing the cassette and rear derailleur from my trail bike which has been gathering dust for a while. I then purchased a NW 36 tooth chainring, so now have a 1x10 with the gearing being 36x11/42 which should be perfect for most occasions when I need a geared bike for off-road use.

Saturday was a 21 mile bike ride and yesterday was a seven mile hike @ 7000 foot elevation. Today is a rest day. Enjoy your 4th.

I've still been on the treadmill but boy do the outside of my knees hurt! (where your hands rest on the side of your body.)

I have been wearing neoprene knee braces...and it helps but after about 25 minutes it starts to hurt badly enough I have to stop.

Am I doing something wrong... Or just have bad knees?
I don't want to slow down and I run on Zero incline.

I have good running shoes and I stretch before starting.
My hamstrings feel tight and my lower back is sore the following day.

Maybe I need to see a chiropractor to get lined up?

Thanks for any advice.... I don't want to stop but I don't want to cause any knee damage to myself.

All I can come up with is that maybe it's the way you're running. (Eg. Maybe your toes are pointed in?)

Never thought of that.

Who would think you would have to concentrate on the way you run...

My friend just told me I could go to Runner Roost and they will video tape you running and give you the correct inner supports (and shoes I HOPE) that you need.
Only thing is it is about $200!

YIKES!
