Drinking coffee & eating a bagel to prepare for running 

Good Morning ROS, HalfCrazy, and Crew

Slept in a bit today. Hip flexor is still far from 100% but its improving. 3mi 9:30/mi. Don't wanna push it and have to take anymore rest days. Try for 4 tomorrow. Maybe another week Ill be back in action?

Coastal- Ughh that sucks...I hope you get better soon.

Good morning folks. Drinking coffee and getting ready to run. Thought I would check in here, yesterday was Western States lottery so I was wondering if Bread got in, I did not. Looking at other races like Bryce 100 to satisfy a Hard Rock qualifier etc.

I was known as Jay Wnuk on RW forums and I see a lot of familiar handles here. Hope everyone is doing well!

Check out Lotteries! in the Ultra Runners group.

Morning!  I have OTF coming up soon and 8 miles total for the day.

 

It the same right knee thing we discussed a while back.  I should have just gone in to the doctor when it started.  Doc thinks it is plica syndrome.  My knee cap is tracking to the outside which is putting stress on the medial plica.  We're going to do PT to see if it resolves.  If not we can try an injection, MRI, etc...  My Dr. appt was 2 months to the day after I had to walk home from a run.

Now I remember!  Yeah, I had that patella tracking issue after surgery and PT made me 100% quickly.  I think you'll be happy with what the PT can do (if it's just that).  Good luck and hoping they can see you soon!

You guys are either running or sleeping. I'm betting the former.

When it's time to put in work, we are second to few. But when it's not, we can slack with the best of them. lol

A year ago today, I wrapped up a 5 day excursion up the California coast from San Diego to Sacramento by getting my ass handed to me at the California International Marathon. My lackluster performance notwithstanding, it was the trip of a lifetime. Adventurous and totally spontaneous, it was the embodiment of my view on fun, and I cannot wait to do it again...just not the marathon part!

Been many years since I left on a spontaneous road trip. Used to like that a lot earlier in life. There were no marathons involved, either

6 miles. Was doing an out and back. Before I turned around I passed a guy walking down the street with an empty hand cart. On the way back, he had 2 cases of beer on it. He clearly stopped in the bar/packaged goods store, I assume in preparation for the Ravens game. Place was busy this morning--county laws here are wacky. Stand alone liquor/beer stores can't open on Sunday, but those attached to a bar can.

Weird law, indeed.
