Gonna try to focus on strength training on days I run and leave rest days for complete rest.  Gonna try.

just make sure you do your strength training after your runs. They say you should never do it before your run. Just thought I share in case you did not know

I have never heard that before.  I run first thing in the morning so it's never an issue.  I also don't lift heavy, more of a balance/stability type workout, so I'm not sure how much it would matter.

I was told it does not have to be heavy weights.  any type of strength training after runs.  I have read it in running magazines  and everyone that I know who runs tell me the same thing. I will being seeing my trainer tonight I will ask her and if you like I can let you know the answer if you want to know that is

Yeah, I would like to know what they think.  I can't imagine what it would hurt, other than running on tired legs can cause bad form.  Like I said, it's not an issue for me since all my runs are first thing in the morning and strength stuff is later in the day.  Thanks!

There are two reasons to run first. One is this way your muscles will be nice and warm for strength training less chance of hurting yourself and the second reason is not running on tired muscles less chance of hurting the muscles while you are running.
