Bugs
Eight treatment in therapy for everything below the waist. I've got more crap in my legs than a scrap yard. Three sports doctors looked at hill bounding video and warned me "NEVER EVER DO THAT."
Hoping to make it to grandmas and beer afterwards.

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
Lots of Beer if I make it.
Out there running since dinosaurs roamed the earth
It has been hurting for about a month. No increase or decrease. I did finish a 20 miler last friday.

Fall Marathon - Twin Cities??
How is it goining? Are you getting more treatments? Running at all? Decided to pass on Grandmas or push it and risk injury?
I haven't run since Monday, and the cramping has resolved. Still feels a little tight when I jog to the car, etc, so decided to wait on a run. Looking to get in some swimming and biking in the meantime, but this isn't as easy to fit into my schedule.
Hope everyone else''s taper is going well.
Taper does not start...ever.
Fixed.
I see that some of your workouts have been off lately. Hang in there, almost to the starting line.
Candice, what IS your taper plan? I was going to do ~10 days. Wednesday will hopefully be a 20 mile day, with 12 in the morning in PWP and another 8 or so in the afternoon (heat?) around Vandy. I see that some of your workouts have been off lately. Hang in there, almost to the starting line.
Well, we're headed to Michigan bright and early in the morning for a wedding, so whether or not I can cram in a double remains to be seen...if I can it'll be about 85 miles for this week with a 20 mile long run on Sunday. Next week will be about 60ish miles with a 16 mile long run.... and then race week about 40 miles before.
Ben writes it... and I do it.
And yep, my last two workouts have been off. The last 3 if you count the race last weekend which replaced last weeks tempo run. The thing is, (my hopeful) marathon pace (7:30) feels easy. So i'm trying not to be too discouraged. Either way, i'm not totally confident this go round. Not sure what the problem is.
Figured I'd post here too. I'm hurt for Grandmas. Did a track workout too fast on 5/12. Woke up the next morning for easy three and right knee was sore. It went away later in the week. I ran a handicap trail race 4.x miler on that Saturday, then did a few more miles to make it 11ish for the day, my IT band really hurting.
So I took three days off. The fourth day it was still bothering me, so I decided to run through it and see if it went away. I did a 15.5 miler this past sunday, wearing an IT Band strap. It started hurting after mile 4. It hurt to walk afterwards. I iced and stretched.
Ive added the foam roller to my routine, IT band stretches that Ive long neglected, ice, etc.
I went running on the grass on Monday. I haven't had pain since monday, running only on grass or soft dirt trails. Even did a 4 mile tempo on the grass on Tuesday, without pain. Seems Ill be running on the grass only until 6/20. The pavement will be a shock to the system...
Should I mix in some pavement runs at the end of next week, after a few more pain free runs on the grass? Or just stay healthy?
If anyone has any suggestions for me, I will take them also. I have taken 4 days off, and still feel aching when I put a little stress on my leg. Nothing close to what it was, and no pain at all when I walk. I think I could still run the marathon the way I'm feeling, as it is better than when I ran the 20 miler last week. My question - when and how far to run, and if it hurts, do I stop or keep going?

I have found if I drink enough alchohl and eat enough chocolate I feel very good, although I may need weight watchers very soon. I haven't ran. I've been XTing. I get therapy once a week till I'm better. Grandmas is up in the air. Sorry to hear I am not the only one hurting. I have no advice. If you need a drinking buddy I'm hear for you.
tmcna, you too should not worry too much about the hurt. Just some easy and short runs at most. Get thee recovered.
And consider getting a sports massage.
