40s+ on the Run - Happy New Year! (Week of 12/30/07) (Read 1379 times)

Leslie--I'm afraid I'm not as well-versed in the world of male strippers as you... I read what you said about the trailrunner user group, I'll try to join up. Thanks. Tim C.

Well, a girl's gotta have her vices. Actually, saw The Thunder guys in Vegas a few years ago with SIL and a friend and spent most of the time cracking up. It seems the older I get, the funnier that sort of thing is. We're a small group (veeeery small) at Neo Trail Runners, so we'd love to have more people. We started calling ourselves the Neo Trail Runners Extreme Team 'cause we were tired of the "newbie" moniker. Ah, Sheena Easton - "For Your Eyes Only"!! It's a sick pervision, but I love this new station!

Oh my! What a gabby group we are today windy!?! did somebody say windy today!?!? LOL! not here though ~ for a change! Ha! & not even so cold for once in a coupla wks 47* F/31% H - somewhat overcast (inversion thingy!) 6 Mairead miles @ whatever pace was working w/the surface + 45 min. doggy park break....I tell ya she is definitely acclimating to the spoilage! hmmm, teenagers.....(wispering) glad that's behind me!(fingers crossed under the table as I continue to have my 8 yr old drama queen granddaughter living w/me.....) & w/mine "all grown up" the only sage advice that I really have is: have a sense of humor! you'll need it!!

Oh yeah?! Well, take this: http://tinyurl.com/2purer MmmMmmm... Arla

Well the hip saga goes on. I have not run for over a week and it feels good but still not right. Called PT yesterday and my trusted gal is on matenity leave until feb. She played NCAA volleyball, not a runner but has an athelete mentality and she knows I won't quit and is the one that put me back together after my wreck. So anyway the receptionist tells me to do my exercises and basically tells me that it is virtually impossible for me to have that kind of problem. I figure out who she is, its a small neighboring town and I know she has no training whatsoever to make that kind of statement. Fine, if your boss the head pt has a free moment could he please call me,"ok but really don't think we can help you." NO response rest of the day, I miss run class and and am extremely bummed. We call up there first thing this morn and get the boss pt looking for advice on how to proceed. I get the" we can't look at you without doctors ok", ya fine not really what I want from you at this point, just tell me if it is possible I have a stress fracture and who do I need to see and what x-rays etc would you expect to be taken. I finally tell him my rodeo and running history and mileage and finally it clicks and that I am serious about this. He finally says it is troublesome to him it has gone on this long and that I could trace it back to a single event so he tells me to have it looked at. Go to the other doc in my small town, this guy ran a 4 min mile in 1968 and still holds the school record here but hasn't ran in years. I get my hip x-rayed, and he tells me its pretty sure not a stress fracture but I need to find a non impact activity like a stationary bike etc. I tell him bluntly if its not broken I am going to run on it. He asks if I want to see an orthopedic surgeon, he was here last week and won't be here again for a month. I get a scrip for celbrex and leave. I did learn from the x-ray tech, a runner herself that stress fractures are really hard to detect with an x-ray and may involve cat scan etc. So what to do, guess I will run and see what happens. I will keep doing my pt exercises for core and pelvic tilt etc and anti inflams or the celebrex.If it is just inflamation I can deal with it. Sorry to unload here, just frustrated and impatient. Its been fun reading about New yrs activites and everyone stripper names, what a hoot. The Wy windsock would apply here also.

Geez Farm - sorry to here you're still having hip probs. Seeing the Doc's best .Did you say Xc skiing was helping it? Maybe some Nordictrak time would help.I use my skiier as a warmup device before stretching and running.It kinda sets everything in line for me.Just my two cents. Good Luck Cheers, ~Candy Leathercheeks~ ps. great sign Ms Glitterkiss (if that's your real name)

Ok, now I'm either officially a runner,or officially certifiable! Up and out the door at O'silly:30 this morning. In the dark, and ONLY 12*f !!!! I somehow,through all the great advice here,managed to dress correctly.Only my toes were cold ,from wearing one pair of cotton socks.It was a good run down the beach road and back for ~6.5 miles.One thing though.If I'm crazy enough to be out there in those conditions,can't the cars stay home!?!?!I somehow had the notion that the road would be empty(silly me .I have been doing all my very early runs at the school with no cars ).Oh well .... TGIF everyone!!!!

Just so nobody has to miss out..... c'mon everbody! Check in w/your "real name!"

Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name: > > a = Leather > > b = Dream > > c = Sunny > > d = Deep > > e = Heaven > > f = Tight > > g = Shimmer > > h = Velvet > > i = Lusty > > j = Harley > > k = Passion > > l = Dazzle > > m = Dixon > > n = Spank > > o = Glitter > > p = Razor > > q = Meadow > > r = Glitz > > s = Sparkle > > t = Sweet > > u = Silver > > v = Tickle > > w = Cherry > > x = Hard > > y = Night > > z = Amber 3. Use the third letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name: > > a = hooter > > b = horn > > c = tower > > d = fire > > e = thighs > > f = hips > > g = side > > h = jugs > > i = shock > > j = ****er > > k = brook > > l = tush > > m = sizzle > > n = ridge > > o = kiss > > p = bomb > > q = cream > > r = thong > > s = heat > > t = whip > > u = cheeks > > v = rock > > w = hiney > > x = button > > y = lick > > z = juice
