Leslie, I also think that might be reaching for a diagnosis, but it'll be interesting to see what your NP says. I do find it amazing how in our health care situation, you have to bounce from one provider to another for weeks or months and it seems there isn't a holistic manner of diagnosis or treatment. Other than, don't run and don't gain weight. Gee, thanks.

 

 

+1  And I hope they don't make you go bankrupt in copays as they bounce you from one to another and continue to NOT fix the problem, or even actually identify it.  How frustrating this must be for you!  I for one am hoping that rest and ibu will make it suddenly clear up, regardless.

see, this is why I have to over post every day, ....   I just read the last couple of days (for the second time) but I still can't remember what I wanted to comment on.    will gallantly make an attempt...

CRS.... I can't remember either.    but I'll blame Doug.     - )

Oops...  Tramps (not Jay) thanks for the book report.    
re your animals... I've always known that I really like TriBee!

the Quebec marathon looks well worth considering.

Jay...   glad your cat scan was at least efficient.  I hope all is well!!    you'll have to let me know how your poke salad turns out.. I gave up after boiling it twice...

happy belated birthday Deez!!!

Erika I loved your cat tales.

I don't know how you manage to head out on the slushy icy stuff.   I've fallen too many times...   and on dry pavement.   -)

gotta say, reading you feeling slow just slays me.   just saying.   I do understand that it's all relative...

also...   this new being careful about injury things... (sure this isn't a Fake Erika?  ; ))    I seriously think it's great, & will try to emulate.

Leslie I hope you get answers soon!

tw I'm impressed.   (by the boots.  maybe not quite so much by the fly fishing....)

and... thanks.  I am trying to be , well, less stoopid.   am coming back from a lot of things, again...  kind of systemically wiped out.   perhaps your words will help me not feel I have to meet some artificially imposed standard... though I get paid a lot more when I overdo.

well,  out of my last 4 fairly major setbacks, only one was an overuse injury!   that seems like progress somehow...

RunnerKSA... I hope you enjoy your conference.   am duly impressed at your heading out in an unknown place in the dark, headlight or not... maybe the wine helped?  ; ).      love all your animals,      you made me smile.

well since I'm going on & on, will mention that I do finally have a cat  (lost my last dog & 2 cats over one winter a few years ago).  Her name is Gracie... as in 'say goodnight, Gracie...'   My daughter saw her at the humane society, called & said that she knew I wasn't ready but that I should go see this one, just because.  may be the sweetest cat I've ever had.    i keep wanting to get her a cat to play with,... or a dog,  I want one so much.   but this just isn't the time. 

Holly,  I am tempted to post a selfie of myself after every run, but I am doing my best to fight it.   
(many of you might realize that that is a joke  

5 of the carpiest miles (but dry, & not much wind ... )   I've had in quite a while this morning on the gym track.  wanted 6,   they were a little faster than usual for me, but I'm still not sure why they were so miserable.    weights & stability ball stuff afterward.

good luck everyone whose racing this weekend!

eta.   just discovered that smilies show up in the most unexpected places!  maybe to try twocat's suggestion....

mmmm, popcorn....

fatozzig best of luck with all the doctors and getting better. Just be wary of getting a false positive as you go from doctor-to-doctor.

coastwalker I take it after the scan you did not bring the cat home. If there is one thing a cat hates it is another cat! Not even a scan of a cat. 

evanflein same thing for me, a lot of days others think of as a holiday are ignored by my university. Presidents day? Nope. Good Friday? Nope. Veterans Day? Nope. Then again my hours are otherwise pretty flexible so I cannot complain.

Breaking news . . . Knowing how to read a 10 day forecast pays off! Yes, it was pouring today. It is supposed to pour tomorrow. Do I care? Nope! I ran yesterday given the weather report. I plan to run a HM Sunday, when it is supposed to clear up so no running tomorrow. You have to love it when a plan comes together! Yes, I did watch the A-Team as a youth.

Thanks for your comments about being careful going to from doc to doc.  I'm just so very tired of not being able to sit normally.  *sigh*

Holly - Brewers yeast is also called nutritional yeast.  I get it in the bulk foods section at our local grocery story and most natural food stores will have it as well.  It's yellow and flaky - small flakes.  Has a bit of a nutty flavor.  All but one of my cats likes it, too.  Supposedly it helps combat fleas.  They just think of it as extra good seasoning on their food.  When we had our old guy, Fatso, he refused to eat without it.
