Forums >General Running>More miles than degrees club
I'm not sure what was up with it. I did a high mileage week (107) in June and it felt like a shin splint. But I ran on it for another month until it got too painful and switched to biking for a month. After it got better, I tried to make up the lost mileage and ended up with the same pain. Which I continued to run on lol. So I'm a dumbass, obviously. Six weeks off this time, with it too cold and icy to bike so I have been walking. This week is my first time running since the beginning of November. Doubled up a couple compression sleeves and that helps. But it's touch and go. The deal breaker for me is if it hurts just walking around, and so far I don't have that yet. Fingers crossed.
Mmmmm... my son had a similar experience this fall that almost completely wrecked his cross country season. We are keeping a close eye on it as he trains through the winter. I think you are wise -- "The deal breaker for me is if it hurts just walking around." With him, I ask him if he can hop up and down on one leg without pain. Good luck and heal up!

LedLincoln, sometimes I get the feeling Niko is quite glad when we don't run! I think deep down inside he is a couch potato. Glad you are making progress with your dog!
Thanks Joe! Hope your son is all healed up from his injury!

When I had a stress fx in my foot, that was the determining exercise for "can I run yet?"
Glad to not be part of this group tonight. Only 8F but I only ran 4.7mi.

Not that I really wanted to join this club this year, but I guess I'm in. 4 miles, -4 degrees this morning.
not bad for mile 25
Cushions, blankets, Annie definitely loves her creature comforts, when she's not out walking/running/chasing squirrels. No different from any other dog that way.
S Army Kettle run...
I joined the club on Saturday ... 8miles at 2 degrees. As expected.. the hard part was getting out the door. Once we got moving, it wasn't that bad.

8 miles in 2 degrees. Saw an excellent sunrise.
Piece 'o' cake today. 0F, 6.5 miles.
Yay! I thought surely I cannot be the only one today. (10 miles, 6F). Sadly it was still dark when I got home so no sunrise for me!
