Hi, Team 4 teammates!!

I am Kristy...you can find me on Facebook here https://www.facebook.com/kristy.lotholson

I will start a Facebook page...https://www.facebook.com/groups/1429019943996152/ For now, this group is closed.  Once we are all together, we will make it private.

AND a thread on RWOL....http://community.runnersworld.com/topic/2014in2014-team-4-the-get-to-know-each-other-thread

I think once we have assembled our team on Facebook, we will begin the task of brainstorming for a new team name.  We don't need to do that on a public forum.  Someone could steal our awesome ideas! 

Hi, Lauren!  I see you found our new facebook page! :-)

No!  I am injured as well.  I almost dropped out, but was talked into lowering my mileage and staying on.  I am in recovery mode, done with rest mode.

I have run 7.25 miles this week.  That is more than I thought I'd be running in the month of December.  So, I'm migrating back towards being happy.  LOL

Hi Team 4!!!

 

....hope you don't all hate me cuz I'm currently injured

 

some contributor I am!!!

Kristin, I think I have seen you reply on Facebook to Leiba....I didn't catch what your injury was, though.  What happened?

I hope you get a call tomorrow!  I think you should just call them yourself...tell them you've been waiting for results for almost a week.  I will be curious to hear what the word is.  I had major pain with the lateral edge of my left foot after I started increasing my miles (as a relatively new runner, at the time).  I was researching all sorts of stuff and a fractured cuboid was one of the ones that seemed most likely, at the time.  I couldn't bear ANY weight on my foot at all.  It was so bad.

Turned out to be a severely bruised foot.  LOL (I can laugh about it now).  I seriously have a high threshhold for pain, but when you can't walk, it's hard to be patient and not read the worst into it.

On a funny note, it was while I was recovering from that, and before I knew there were no fractures, that I vowed to train for a HM if everything was okay.  Before that, I had never EVER intended to run long distances OR run races, other than the one race I had just run.  I was just going to be a recreational runner.

Good luck and let us know what you hear!!  My fingers are crossed for you.

I'm actually not sure....on December 8th I ran a half marathon and the next day I couldn't put any pressure on my left heel without excruciating pain in front of my left heel. Doc thinks it is a stress fractured cuboid bone in my foot and has been treating it as such. However I got an MRI on Tuesday and he STILL hasn't told me the results. Which I'm not sure whether to interprete that as good or bad news.....but stress fracture is the working diagnosis until proven otherwise

 

Hello, Team 4.  I am on Team 10 but I just wanted to say hi anyway.

LOL, Phil....hi!
