Savannah Rock N Roll (Read 9 times)

    well I just signed up for the marathon on Nov. 8th...

    haven't been doing any long runs lately--so it won't surprise me if I end up switching to the half.

    Anybody else interested?

    My wife wants to visit her grandparents and I have a college buddy doing the race, so i just figured, what the heck...

          Here are all of my reactions:

           

          1) You're insane.

          2) That really ticks me off cause I signed up for a marathon and am not getting to do it.

          3) She says sniffling, "I just want to run something."

          4) Congratulations.  That's great.  Sounds like fun.  I hope it goes great for ya.

          5) I'm going back to "You're insane .  You don't train for a marathon in 10 weeks!!"

            Lawson Clary and, I think, Patrick Rivers are doing Savannah marathon.

             

            I am thinking of doing the 5K at Spinx.  The Big Punkin 5K.  I need to do something to feel like a running person again.

                    Traci, it looks like your miles are up to 8!  Yay you are getting better!  Will you be doing Tri the Ridge?

                     

                    I am going to do the half marathon at spinx run fest, is anyone else doing it?

                      I have just been walking two miles everyday.  Running wasn't working and I wasn't getting better. So I am not running until my pain is gone.  Swimming and walking and some strength work.

                       

                      I did sign up for the Spinx 5K.  Maybe I will be able to do that.  If I can't run it I will walk it.

                        Well hopefully it will get better with walking- if u haven't already, you may consider an MRI / scans since it's taking so long to get well.

                          Its really a host of problems.  And they just complicate one another.

                          Its not just one thing.

                           

                          I've been told lots of stuff.  Here's the list:

                           

                          I have a leg length discrepancy

                          I have a tilted pelvis.  Tilts forward on the right side and/or  Anterior pelvic tilt.

                          I have seen an x-ray that shows the pelvis slightly off center.

                          I have congenital spinal stenosis.

                          I have degenerative disk.

                          I have a slight curve in my spine so if I tried to correct the leg length it would make the curve worse.

                          I have weak hips, tight hip flexors, glutes that don't fire, tight hamstrings.

                          Poor movement patterns.

                          Pelvic instability, more so on the right side.

                          And there is more from the x-ray - I just cant remember it all. Stuff about the way my spine developed when I was growing.

                           

                          Pretty much anything that can be wrong with your pelvis/low back area is wrong with mine.  And it all makes running difficult.  I can do it for a while. Then it just breaks down.

                           

                          So I thought about an MRI but it would probably tell me I have Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction along with everything else.

                           

                          There's more than you ever wanted to know about that.

                           

                          I may eventually get an MRI.  But right now I'm just tired.  I don't really want to hear anything else wrong with me.

                            Traci, at least you have a good personality and a heart of gold!

                            p.s. I think i have most of the same probs with my lower back.

                              You're the best!!!  I hope you don't have the same probs.

                               

                              Hey, how is your marathon training going?

                               - itri - 

                                It's going ok...

                                Haven't had a lot of time, but i'm squeezing in a long run every now and then.  10 mi is my longest and it was tough.  26.2 will be nearly impossible for me.  but it will be fun trying!
