Dangremond's Group - FULL/CLOSED (Page 10)

I know - I liked it too.  But apparantly it had a perspective problem in that people couldn't readily identify the volume levels by just glancing.  It wasn't a big deal to me, but apparantly to others, so they changed it.

Now, though, the graduated shading gives one the illusion that the columns aren't all parallel to each other.  Kind of weird.

Oh well, they still shoot up out of the floor, which makes look like I'm really training.

And Mitch - I'm in.  Would be nice to get a couple fresh folks in though, as we didn't get involvement from everyone who initially signed up.

Ditto what Mitch said.  Hills can have a damaging effect on those of us ramping up our volumes.  I too live in a hilly area (only way out of our home is up one of the hills).

As an example - bad news today.  Visited the sports medicine doc.  Diagnose a medial gastroc tear (aka calf strain).  He was unequivocal in his treatment.

No running . . . . . .For 2-3 Months!!!

So my half-marathon is out, as well as my next tri.

Not a good day, and was surpised out how emotional such news could be.

To answer your question though - sounds like shin splints.  Lower the pace and the mileage.  If you feel pain during the run, stop.

Ice your shins after every run.  Possibly take some Ibuprofen or Aleve.  Exploit swimming and biking to replace some of the run volume.

Also, if it gets worse or doesn't go away, see a doctor - they suck but they help.

Hmmm, sounds familiar.

Good luck Grace -
