Hope everyone is doing better! I'm in the hospital and have been since Tuesday am. Neck looks great other than new disc protrusion (c4-c5) waiting on blood work,brain and thoracic spine MRI results. Hopefully they will find an answer to what's causing the worsening weakness and full body sensory changes. If you can cross fingers that they can figure me out I'd appreciate it!
TIA

thread should probably end on that pic. but I need a place to complain. a nagging calf pain became too sore to go on running last week. it feels high up the calf and very deep in the muscle (too deep to pinpoint or even ice). it responded well to naproxen, and after a couple days rest its barely noticeable and doesn't hurt to walk or climb stairs. but 2 miles on Tuesday didnt bode well, pain came right back. I'm ~7 weeks out from my marathon, I'm thinking about taking 4 weeks off and reverse tapering to still run it (if pain free). I'm certain that sub-3 is out the window (sucks as I was tracking nicely), but maybe with luck I can still get a BQ (3:15).

"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek

My right leg just wont get better, and I'm sick of it.
Time off to let it heal. Did that.
Dynamic stretching. Do that.
Static stretching. Do that.
Strength and flexibility routine. Do that.
Has it improved from when Dec 8th....yes it has.
Can I run a single step pain free. No.

Thanks everyone! I've been released but it's going to be a long road. A lot of stuff taken away from me however I can still row as long as my body will allow me too.

I hope this is all a temporary setback.
