Grandpa Runs

My race shirt, medal and bib My third half marathon was one I had looked forward to for some time. I had learned that the Donna Finish Breast Cancer races were the largest Breast Cancer in America for raising funds for research and victim support. My wife had suffered from breast cancer for 14 years before going to be with the Lord eight months ago, so these type runs are a priority for me.              My last two half marathons left me with extremely sore knees, on the outside and back. I could run 10 miles with no issues, it was the last three that did it. But I could recover almost completely in 2-3 days. So I kept looking for advise on how to prevent this and had advise from a sports Dr. who recommended strength exercise for my hamstrings. So for the 4-5 weeks before I tried a routine of a couple of exercises and hoped it would help. I flew to Jacksonville, Fl three days before because I have two brothers there. We went to see Manatees one day and then went to the race expo.
