Ball of Fury
AmiK, I did the Topo Trail race at Big Bone Lick and it involved a creek crossing (2X). It was cold, wet, muddy, snowy and just plain AWFUL - and I enjoyed every minute of it.
That's awesome! We won't get to the another one until Devou Park because the next one is on our marathon weekend!

My foot hurts when walking now, too. Should I try wrapping it with an ace bandage?
Do you even run?
Ami, enjoy your SRD.
Weezer, have a great run.
Lily, enjoy your recovery run.
Damaris, I think the RWOL forums are completely down. I tried doing a search to see if anyone ever posted about tightness in the lower hamstring or upper calf cause soreness in the back of the knee. No luck.
lilac_jive, I hope you feel well soon.
Just B.S., a run and Chinese food sounds perfect.
Kay, yikes! Is there a walking clinic anywhere near you? If it's feeling worse, have it checked!

A great, short run to end the year. Finished with 67.5 miles for December (a PR) and 604 miles total for 2012. Looking forward to 2013!

Hi Dailies and Happy Last Day of 2012.
Kay, hope your foot is nothing serious.
Tom, Dave, and anyone else racing/running, have fun! I'll be thinking of running/racing while I am working tonight.
Beth, sounds like a bunch of shoveling on the agenda. Enjoy your miles. Don't think I'll ever have the chance to run on snow.
I'm looking for 7 or so later. My last 2 runs, I've had some knee pain, so not sure how this will go.
7:12 Am and 34 posts? I will never keep up. Anyway, skiing and traveling back home.
be well and have a good day,
Cris
Kay, hope your foot is not serious. I've had that type pain and found that resting it worked for me. I did narrow mine down to a particular pair of shoes, lighter ones that I had run quite a bit in.
Bad Ass
Congrats on the monthly PR!

Damaris Runs with Asthma
Kristin, I've been wearing the same shoes since I started in July. Rick, one of the reasons I chose this shoe is because it's so light weight and flexible. Do you think I might need more arch support? Would that cause pain on the top of my foot?

Oops! Must have been thinking of someone else. Have you iced and ibuprofined?
Like!

Morning! SRD. I'll probably do some foam rolling. I had this "thing" for December to do SOMETHING every day. When I didn't run, I would do strengthening and I even foam rolled as I was heading to bed a few days (even on Christmas at 10:00 pm when I'd had a crazy busy nonstop day). So, I need to do something today to finish off the month.
I ended up with just over 1,005 miles for the year and 103 miles for the month, which was a monthly miles PR. Crazy since I'm not even training for anything; I'm in maintenance mode until January 28.
Kay, do you think you tied your shoe too tight? I get a weird sharp top o' the foot pain sometimes when I accidentally tie my shoe too tight. A day of rest fixes it.

I can't access the forums either. I wanted to wish Mike a Happy New Year. Guess I'll have to e-mail him...
I couldn't get on there either. Totally different, very slow (not unusual, I suppose). I also wanted to wish Mike a Happy New Year and say "hi" to a few others there. Looks like RWOL is hosed up again!

Happy New Year, Mitch. Even if you have to work (I get to work Christmas and New Years next year).
Last time I ran in the snow, I was a meter reader and a dog was chasing me! That was way back in the dark ages.
Hope that the knee doesn't act up on you today.
Good luck with the foot, Kay!
If you';re in the FB group, you can wish him Happy New Year there.
