SWBKRUN -CLOSED DUE TO TRAINING (Page 11)

NICE WILLIAM !!! YOU FINALLY HAVE AN AVATAR!!!!

Went through a little of what you're going through last year during the early stages of my marathon training.  Had a nagging bout of ITBS and nearly worried myself out of running the marathon all together.  Turned out that most of my troubles were mental after I got the inflammation to subside.  Little twinges once in a while are very normal for my body.  I found that as long as they don't persist into the following day I can pretty much ignore them. One more of those little battles that I had to win in my head.  Continue to listen to your body, but don't let the worry take over.  Keep it low and slow until you regain a god base and you'll most likely be fine.  Good Luck!

There are probably a couple more returning members like RoniS, Andy and CyborgQueen that will join as well.

Welcome all the new people. A few things to notice.

1. Steve takes awesome pictures

2. We have some scary runners here (2800+ miles in 2011!)

3. A few members are in to CX

4. Sarcasm is rampant!

5. Suzy sends out the regular wednesday role call of who's racing

6. We do monthly and yearly workout totals for those who want to make it public.

7. Steve has a Jimminy Cricket named Ryan that chimes in once and a blue moon (he may be marrying Steve's SIL)

8. A lot of members have met over the years. personally I have met Fattyfatfat, tahrens, Tony and Sam, Havin'Fun, and will be meeting tobey91 next week. I hope to meet Suzy in Florida next November. I have not met an MG person I did not like.

9. North Carolina now leads with the most members (5) Tell us if you are going to be in the area!

Just checking in from the road, but wanted to agree with this:

and this:

Yep, I'm in. Checked in back on page 1 but haven't had a chance to do a bio. Super busy with the holidays and spending time with my awesome family that I don't get to see nearly often enough. I have been trying to keep up with all the pages and bios, but by the time I'm done reading it's grandbaby cuddling time again. How can I resist this:

Clink .... Clink ..... Clink ....  (on the wine glass on the table) 

I believe that somebody has a announcement to make ..........

If Fatty joined EN for IM FL, I will poop my pants.  NFW!  The man came to the dark side?  Coaching? really?

Hmmm.   I sort of agree.  I also think there is a whole lot of gait issues that mess people up.  They rehab by resting and then go back to the same old body doing the same old thing.  Really important as part of the rehab is to identify why something started in the first place.

I am a great example and I believe Doug is too.  Both of us did a lot of PT to solve muscle imbalance issues.

PSA over!

PS. I do agree it's all about the run.  In IM that serves me well.  Still trying to make that happen in a HIM!

so... i'm test driving a EN plan for NOLA 70.3. we'll see how it goes.  perhaps i may find myself a bit more interested in them.  we'll see. i think i want to do something a bit more formal for IM this time around. 

you're wrong.  everything you say is inaccurate. your coach sucks.  you can't cook. you're feet stink.

don't go drive to get your wallet, just have em' overnight it to you.

Can you please return this to me now:

I think we all agree on being cautious. The point I am a big believer in is determining the root cause of the problem.  Rehab is great for healing but if it didn't determine the root cause and teach you how to correct it then you've only applied a band-aide.  I'm not referencing your specific condition; but in general I am a HUGE supporter of proper warm-ups/cool downs, stretching, the foam roller, and a run gait analysis.  Take care of your body and make sure you have proper running form or you will be sorry.  I think almost everyone here has experience with this.

WOW!

I thought I might experience the second coming before I lived to see this.  And a more "formal" plan for IM?  That ALMOST sounds like admitting you want a coach!  what's next a powertap?

Time to take care of a little business!  Inside joke for some.

I second what Tracy said.  Identifying the CAUSE of the injury is often overlooked. 

So the UPS Santa just brought my Christmas gift.  Any good tri gear coming by way of sleigh for the group?

You should have called me!  I would have sold you mine dirt cheap!   I like the Xterra a lot better.

Pics of Suzy pooping her pants or it didn't happen!!

And yeah, congrats to Fatty!!

You want a picture?  I'll send you one tomorrow   And if that doesn't is too long to wait maybe Twin can send you one of her pics from  Hawaii!

PS.  For the new people, Kim is referred to as Twin by me since we were born on the same date (a couple of years apart) and have many of the same neurosis.

Name: Roni

Background:  Never athletic as a kid, but I did like riding my bike and swimming in our backyard pool. I had never run a mile in my life when I decided I wanted to do the sprint triathlon our local gym was sponsoring. I learned how to run using a couch to 5k plan, got back on my bike, and learned to swim laps in the pool. Finished my first sprint on my hybrid bike and was hooked. That was 5 years ago, and I've completed 5 sprints, 4 olympics, 2 HIMs, 12 marathons, and 3 50ks, plus a bunch of shorter running races since then.

I had a bit of a set back in 2010 while training for IMCDA and doing too much too soon in VFF's... stress fracture in the 2nd metatarsal. I was off running for 4 months and let the swim and bike slide too. Once I was able to run again I decided to run marathons for fun for awhile, been doing that since. Now I'm ready to focus on triathlon again.

Family Status: Married for 23 years to Gary (gslye). He does all this crazy stuff too, and we usually book our vacations around a race. We don't often train together though, because he's much faster than I am. We have 2 daughters (23 and 21 years old), a son-in law who is currently in Afghanistan, and a 10 month old grandson (he's the cutie in the bathtub photo).

 2011 Races: Redding Marathon (California), Buffalo Run 25k (Utah), Couer d'alene Marathon (Idaho), Edge to Edge Marathon (British Columbia), ET Full Moon Midnight 51k (Nevada), Kauai Marathon (Hawaii), Jackson Hole Marathon (Wyoming), PT Defiance 50k (Washington), Antelope Island 50k (Utah), Rim Rock Marathon (Colorado), and an attempt at the NFEC San Francisco 50 miler (Didn't make the cut off at the 23 mile aid station).

2012 Races:  So far on the schedule is Surfside Marathon in Texas on 2/18, Vermont Marathon on 5/27 (my birthday), and Portland REV3 on 7/8. I'll likely make another attempt at a 50 miler in the Fall, as well.

What makes me a good part of this group:  I'm all about the fun and enjoying the journey.
