Jeanne, I'm with you. It never was news worth hearing.
Sarge, thanks... how is your DW?
Jeanne & Sue.. thanks for the words of caution, I do need to hear them. I'm right at that point... you know? It has been steadily improving until just lately, & now it's hard to know what I should do. I did take an extra day off last week. I agree about the hills Sue.. It was just the only thing I could do right around home in the time I had. But that still doesn't mean it was smart. I'll take you 2 with me in the morning, ok? Then we can sit in the whirlpool, & go out to breakfast & review our training plans. .
Mary, I love that picture!
Carolyn, what is going on with you? I've been trying to catch up, read 2 dailies tonight, but still haven't found where you said what is wrong.
TomS 7F? ugh. It was 12 here when I woke up, & so that I'll at least get some credit, () the wind chill was 4 when I decided I'd go out. The good thing was it wasn't very windy. Pretty cold though. 14 when I got home. I was ok except for my nose & hands. thanks, it went pretty well. I hope everything goes well tomorrow! And nice run today. So far I've managed 2 whole miles on the TM.
I ended up doing just under 4, (3.88)(no matter how many times I mapped my run)... at about a 10 min. pace. thought I did 4, & would have, but my stooopid foot pod still isn't working. It's been intermittent for a while now. I think it was ok, tried to be careful on the hills. they're not big hills. I do think I need to do them. I couldn't for a long time because of my hamstrings, and so now I'm trying to work back into them gradually. So, I hope I can my knee to settle down again. I think tomorrow I'll do the gym again, & see how the track works in the opposite direction., & a little on the TM. No beige cement walls, so I should not complain.
Tammy, how was your DS's birthday? Sorry if you posted about it & I missed it.
Denise, get better. (((( ))))
Carolyn
I'm not sure exactly. My left shin hurts, about 5 inches above the ankle, on the inside front of my shin. There's point tenderness if I push on one point on the tibia. Feels like a bruise, but it's not discolored. It mostly only hurts when I run, not when I walk. I'm worried that it could be a stress fracture, but I don't run fast or do lots of miles so I don't think it's from overtraining. DH said it could be tibial fasciitis. Anyway, I'm gonna reduce my running for a bit and see if it resolves, and if not, I'll go see a doc.
I hammered down the trail, passing rocks and trees like they were standing still.
I am glad to see that our sweet dg asked the question. I was wondering the same about Carolyn's leg issue. I hope it is not a SF...a shin splint maybe? how is your stride, your landing and have you done too many hills in the last two weeks? Take it easy for a few days. I know you run hills a lot...can you run in a flat surface for awhile to see if there is a difference? Does ti bother you when you run slow???
butterfly hugs to you my dahlling sistahh.

Hopefully you get unrutted soon Erika.
The dog and I went out on some trails after 6:30...Way dark...Howver, the stars that poked out of the clouds were slose enough to touch. I'll check the distance later.
