Workout for today was 15.5 miles at easy pace over lunch.  The temp was 15 when I started, and we had about an inch of fresh snow on the ground.  I'd say by the time I finished we got another 1.5"-2" more.  My water bottle froze by mile 7, which was a little annoying, but other than that the run was quiet and peaceful.

D_R, You are always on the go!  Hope all is going well.

SIAR, I just took a peek at your log.  You need to run 18.1 miles tomorrow. 

Jack, I'm so sorry to hear about your injury.  The name rang a bell so I searched the forums and sure enough, someone posted about that condition this past spring.  It looks like there was some advice in that thread for dealing with it.  One poster (DJTaylor) seemed to have treated it well enough that he was able to run high mileage again if you're looking for some hope.  Have you thought about getting a second opinion?  I noticed in that thread Trent (our resident doctor) might have seemed skeptical and that the OP was ultimately diagnosed with something else...  I haven't dealt with an injury but I had a surgery almost two years ago that put me out of commission for a good month due to some swelling.  I came back more determined than ever but I had to let my body heal...  If you're pain-free, I hope you still run Cherry Blossom even if it's not for time. 

Julia...I run my weeks Monday to Sunday, so plenty of time. Unless I'm missing something? Tomorrow is a run with the group, 8-10 I think.

Ooooh.  I thought you were at 71.9 miles for the week and would hit 90 with 18.1 tomorrow.  My bad.  I'm a terrible log stalker.  LOL!  Have fun with the group tomorrow.

 

Oh me too! Logs are the best feature on this site in my book. I'll either get 90 or a few short, but this is only week 7 of 20. I'd love to hit 100 this cycle in an honest week...meaning actually building to it and not just doing it to do it.

I've been on this site for years but I haven't really log stalked very much.  I've guess I just felt like I was prying when I did it...  You are running so well right now.  I've been meaning to ask how you tore both PFs.  That sounds pretty bad.

It's kinda a neat feeling, almost like you've stepped on a grape and then a rush of fluid in the foot. Then the whole thing goes black and blue and swells up pretty big.

Gross!  But, yeah, I can see why you'd be race shy after that.  You were new to running then, though, right?  So maybe it was a freak thing.  Yeah, gross.

Yep, during the race. Pretty painful to finish, but as we've already determined, I'm a gamer haha. You would say it was gross...girls lol.

Blech.  Let's never speak of this again.    I'm glad you recovered, though.
