Tell me how you've HTFU'd lately (Read 2844 times)

For the past few days I've had to "swish and swallow" this funky mouthwash (a combination of antibiotics, hydrocortisone, antiviral, antifungal, and benadryl I think) four times a day because of this white spot on my tongue my doctor is trying to get rid of. If the medicine doesn't cure it up by Thursday I'll have to get a biopsy. It's making me tired as hell, but I'm not letting it get in the way of my training. While on the medication I've done one of my longest runs to date, 7.15 miles, which was last Friday. Saturday I did a short recovery run, and between yesterday and today I've done around nine more miles. Shooting for 24-25 this week, which will be a new high for me.

hope that goes away quickly racingthoughts. by the way - i had to go back and look at your message again - on a skim read i thought you said you'd done a long run of 71.5 miles! as for me - 5 x 1 mile reps at a bit faster than my hoped for 10k pace. and i'll be doing a lot of shouting HTFU at myself tonight during the 5k race. silently of course - i wouldn't want everyone to think i'd totally lost it!

RacingThoughts: take care of yourself. Don't push too hard and end up paying for it! But congrats on some boss running.

Steve, what races are you looking at? k

prolly the 8 mile Great Aloha Run on February, maybe a 10K in late spring and a half-mary in the summer... i'm applying for jobs at the moment (they finally let me out of grad school) so who knows what kind of schedule i will have. I'd love to take a year off and just run but somehow DW probably won't go for that one..

Yeah, I've been making an effort to increase my mileage and run consistently. That being said, I can't hold a candle to what Dustin is going through. He's kinda got the market on HTFU cornered at the moment. Keep us posted dude.

I HTFU by running, period, when most of the women my age THAT I KNOW (not talking about you incredible ladies on here) think they're doing great by walking two miles a couple of times a week. I HTFU'd today by disagreeing with DH (who is usually very supportive) when he said, "I think your trying to run 13 miles non-stop this year might be expecting a little much."

Lynn's not Human, though...I think he's a mandroid or something...bionic man...alien...I dunno. All I do know is that if he is human he's SUPERHUMAN!

yeahthat! I posted my, ahem, accident a few different places but suffice to say... running head down into the rain and wind, knocking myself on my butt when I hit an unseen LARGE GREEN SIGN, I HTFU up the last 2.5 miles of my 17 mile run...but really, I wanted to curl up in a ball and feel sorry for myself. But if it rains during my next marathon, I'll be ready to HTFU all that much more.

the sign is still standing and I'm still nursing a nice gooseegg bump on my head. aaaaahhhh. builds character, eh?
