Hope the new shoes work for you, Lilac! I just got some new shoes myself yesterday. Still my ever-faithful ASICS Nimbus, which I always use, but a new pair to replace a pair that has finally worn out.
I dunno, Oski....getting blood drawn on Halloween....spooky! Hope you get good news at your appointment tomorrow!
Have fun at the expo, Meaghan. Happy carbo loading!
Happy birthday, Hobbit! Enjoy your night out! Here you go: http://www.americangreetings.com/ecards/holiday-birthday/happy-halloween-birthday/pn/3142962

Damaris, hope everything is okay!
Enjoy your Halloween with Dorian, FreeSoul!

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Scotty – Good luck to Gail tomorrow! I hope that her surgery goes smoothly and that she has a speedy recovery!! Have fun with your 5K tonight!!
Phil – Congrats to you on your Bo Sox win! I thought of you when I saw that they'd won. Have a great run tonight, and I hope you have lots of leftover candy to eat tonight!
Jess – Enjoy the new Altras, and have a wonderful day!
Oski – I hope that you get some answers soon! I know that you're itching to run, but you're being smart to hold off until you have more info. Hang in there!
Meaghan – Mmmmm..... Carb loading! Yum! Enjoy the expo tonight and good luck with your race! You've trained really well so you're going to KILL it!!

FS – I'm sure that great grandma and great grandpa will totally enjoy little Dracula – very thoughtful of you!
I had my heart procedure on Monday. The doctor says that it went well and that they couldn't induce my heart to go into a-fib after they were done. I came home on Tuesday and spent the rest of the day and all of Wednesday in a bit of a post anesthesia fog of perpetual tiredness. Today, I am doing much better. The severe acid reflux and coughing are subsiding and I have a much better attention span so things are moving in the right direction. I'm planning to go trick or treating with my 4 year old nephew this evening. I'm not sure if I'll be able to stay out the entire time because I tend to tire easily with exertion, but I haven't missed a Halloween with him yet so now isn't the time to start. :-)
I go back to the doctor about my foot tomorrow. My guess is that she'll make me stay in the boot for another week, but I'm still hoping that she'll let me out of it this week – not that she'd let me run anytime soon even if she did let me wear regular shoes again, but I'd love to get back to the normalcy of regular shoes again.
Happy Halloween!! I hope that you have a record number of little costumed cuties to give candy to tonight!! And, may your next run prove that you could outrun a group of attacking zombies!!

But The Smile That I Sent Out Returned With You.
Good luck with the procedure, Sarah.
I mentioned this on last night's thread but Hershey might be getting blocked again. Fortunately, my neighbor will be watching him once or twice a day and will take him to the vet if needed. I hope it's not that but he is starting to show the same signs as last time.
Sorry to hear about Hershey, Damaris. You had quite the crazy day! Safe travel! Which marathon are you doing this weekend?
Pink, glad your heart procedure went well. Enjoy tonite with your nephew, but don't overdo it. Hope you get what you want for your foot issue too!
Sarah- Glad the heart procedure went well-- continue to feel better!
Damaris- Sorry to hear about Hershey! Hope he is OK and not blocked.
I am scheduled to get out of work in an hour (and go to the expo) BUT I think I'm about to be asked to be in a meeting that's going to keep me here until 5:00 or later.
Do you have any idea when you'll take that inaugural run?
With this particular running injury (unlike any other that comes to mind), you cannot run until you are 100% healed, there is no timetable for when that is because each case is unique.
You must be able to do everything you did pre-injury including jumping, jerking, shaking, sudden movements and the like all without pain. If you try to run before you are healed, you very likely will go back to square one.
Some people go months or even years with it and the longer you had it, the longer the healing process takes.
My therapist indicated that it could be as many as 12 weeks once diagnosed but lucky for me, I was already out of the extreme pain stage when I first saw her because I had done a self adjustment two days earlier.
Once you are out of the pain and inflammation phase you can begin strengthening exercises which is where I am now. I feel really good about things but remain uncertain when that first run will be.
Sorry to hear about Hershey, Damaris. You had quite the crazy day! Safe travel! Which marathon are you doing this weekend? Pink, glad your heart procedure went well. Enjoy tonite with your nephew, but don't overdo it. Hope you get what you want for your foot issue too!
I'm doing NY.
Hershey is acting normal so I hope nothing happens while I'm gone.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! I got 4.5 done at the Y.
running is bad for you
awesome!
I may need to start doing that one for my IT Band. I did buy a foam roller yesterday, that things hurts like a mother .#*%&*#*!
I never used the roller. Try it, if you cannot put a sock on in one of those positions, you may have found the root cause to your problem.
Scotty, you like me in pink 'eh?
Thanks Meaghan, I really miss racin'.
Boon, I saw that too. I believe the first game was in '68, the year a young G was born.
Supp Zelly!
That's a fine looking young man there Shari! Same with yours Mike!
Thanks HL78!
Rain, rain go away. Come again some other day, preferably not somewhere near a race weekend. Hope everyone or mostly everyone is enjoying dry weather, we've got a tornado watch until 1 a.m, fun fun.
It has rained here all day, but that has never stopped a kid from getting free candy that I know of!
