So I made to the gym this morning, worked on shoulders. By the time I finished, the drizzle had become rain with winds and the temp had gone from 49 to 45.... my Levitate 2s were going to get soaked 🤬
😔 I'm not feeling any more confident than I did yesterday, but I toughed it out for 3.3 miles. Things were very stiff where my shin meets my foot, both feet. I would run .2-.3 then walk .1 in hopes it would help and I also stretched my shins and calves and ITB.
Someone tell me where I can get a cortisone injection!!!!
But seriously, I dealt with this bullshit last year and it had me out for 3-6 weeks because I couldn't figure out what the deal was. Since then I've learned I have poor blood circulation (thank you hereditary diabetes 😠) and can only make due when I can.
So, epsom salt baths, herbal ointments, foam rolling, sticking, heating pads and ice it shall be... along with ibuprofen and Hammer Nutrition's Tissue Rejuvenator capsules.
Enough about my 1st World problems, how's everyone else?

Talked to a rugby player I often see running in the park in the mornings while I'm on my commute.
I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. He was wearing a hat, gloves, a nylon jacket and nylon pants.

Morning! Finishing the project so I can leave early and maybe miss some of the snow and wind. It’s a long drive.

Go figure
Good morning! Woke up coughing at 4am and didn't have much luck after that. My lungs didn't appreciate the run in the rain last night, even though I went full bank robber and wore a buff over my mouth to keep some of the moisture out (if that's even a thing). I was hoping for a recovery pace run, but it ended up being a little faster 7 miler with some buddies at the running group. All in good fun.
LRB...hope you got to the Zinc!
FreeSoul...sounds like you're trying EVERYTHING you can think of. Good luck!
Cyberic...we're tough, what can you say
Docket...winter drives are coming...boo!

Yeap. Although I didn’t expect my first to be for a 4 hour drive!!
Are we there, yet?
Watch out for the crazies who think 4WD or AWD means they can drive like there's no snow on the roads.

Super B****
My back suddenly started hurting yesterday afternoon for no good reason, but I went climbing anyway because the thought of new auto routes was just too enticing. And it's been a long time since I left the gym knowing that there's still a problem for me to work on, so I can go back tonight and not be bored! After my chiro hopefully fixes my back today, anyway.
Also, I can't believe I didn't do this a few days ago, but.
Does this mean I can PR in Boston, if we get good weather?? Oh, wait... Boston. Good weather. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

because i never shut up ... i blog
Rainy day - of course the one year my child has a battery powered Halloween costume is the one year that it is supposed to rain ALL evening! Gonna seal the battery pack in a Ziploc bag and hope for the best.
Heading out for 6-7 easy miles soonish.
Loool I am training with <3:10 fitness in mind but expecting that I'll probably run more like 3:25.

Trick or treat and GIVE ME CANDY. Speaking of which, I had a dentist appointment this morning to take care of a cavity. WORTH IT. Now the right side of my face is numb, which is very annoying. Anyway, I jogged five miles before work in the rain. Headlamp and nuke vest needed. Tempo run tonight, which will most likely also be done in the rain.

On the topic of marathon pains, yesterday my hip was killing me, to the point that it hurt to walk. I felt nothing in any runs, but then I woke up yesterday with the sharp pain, enough to make me think something was wrong. But then I jogged just fine this morning, and now it doesn't hurt at all. What the hell??

A week ago the forecast was threatening snow, my brother and sister were freaking out, it has since turned to rain. Forecast claims the rain will clear out later today. Doesn't bother me none, my little guy doesn't eat candy so we don't go trick or treating.
of course. It's a downhill course. You can coast to a PR.
