SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED (Page 139)

Way to go, Lisa! Middle aged times are way underrated. We should get a medal for just trying. :P

LOVE IT, DJ!!! LOL!

Reno8 - 2010-02-07 9:58 AMHope everyone had a great weekend.

Mine was somewhat interesting......this is from my blog.

15.97 miles....trying to get 16 under 3 hours...should have paid more attention to where I was running than how fast I was going.  Tripped on a root...reverted to my gymnastics days and tucked for the tuck & roll.....landed on another root shoulder pops out, I tighten up and it goes back in...get up w/ BIG knot on the top of the shoulder joint.....3 hours in the ER = Dislocated A/C joint.  Possibly no running for 3 weeks.  Going to the orthopedist tomorrow and the ER doc talked like he might have to do a surgical reduction on the dislocation. 

That's all I got for now as I have some Really Good A$$-Kicking Drugs VERY HIGH QUALITY Pharmaceuticals that I must ingest in order to maintain my sanity.

We Shall See.

This sucks horribly! Makes my shoulder hurt just reading it. Hope those quality pharmaceuticals keep you in la-la land for a while - while you heal....

losta - 2010-02-08 2:42 PM I think most people even IMers would think your informal training is pretty hardcore.

SSMinnow - 2010-02-08 12:06 PM Happy Monday kids!

Steve: Fingers crossed for you.....

Barry: Cry me a river.... said nicely.  Enjoy your ride outside in the sun.  Its 23F here so will be heading downstairs to the CT (which I really don't mind).

Jeff: How fun!  Sounds like the skiing is great.

Sam/Tony: Are you getting ready for round II of the snowfall.  We are getting 9" tonight and I am guessing it is coming your way.

Quick question for all of you IM'ers.....how long was your training plan?  I am on the IM WI forum and I swear these guys are freaking me out a little. Most started in January....seems kind of crazy and really long....granted I haven't been sitting on my fanny eating bon bons, but I won't be starting my formal training until sometime in March and we all know where I am on the running front.

Suzy

Trying to play catch up for a week now.  Looks like we had some great races and awesome workouts - except Steve!  Sorry to hear about that.  I dislocated my AC joint playing hockey.  It's no fun, but mine healed quicker than expected.  Hope yours does too.

Suzy, all of the plans I have looked at (six total) are all 20-26 week plans so mine doesn't begin until April for my August race.  As everyone else said, you already have the base.  Don't sweat it.

Well, since nobody wanted my tri bike, I guess I'll just have to keep it.  Actually it has been getting better.  My legs feel much more comfortable, except after making some adjustments to my pedal stroke, I am using much more of my quads than before.  My heels were higher than they should be when pedaling because I was trying to get as far forward on the bike as I could.  This made me use my calves much more than I should have been.  I am hoping this will help my achilles issues too.  Less calf contraction, less strain on the achilles (I hope).  We'll see what happens.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Way to go Kim. Totally awesome run.

Kim and Lisa ~ congrats on your races this past weekend!  Awesome job to you both!!

Steve ~ Holy shee-ite!  At least you have those fine drugs to keep you "sane" (as you put it!)  

Jeff ~ As crazy as this sounds to some of you, reading about your skiing adventures makes me miss snow!  I absolutely loved A-basin when I lived there ~ I think cuz it was so NOT touristy!

DJ ~ That video was friggen hilarious!!

Now I'm going to cry on your shoulders...I have been having issues with my shoulder which come to find out is because my bicep tendon is pinched.  I've tried PT and it was more hassle than it was worth (read: I spent 2 hours stretching on my own until they could come up with something else for me to "try") so I've pretty much just been sucking it up and dealing with it.  However, yesterday I went swimming for the first time all week (which really exacerbates the issue) and now I can hardly move my arm ~ it hurts all the way into my fingers!!!  I've been ODing taking 800mg Motrin as prescribed and I at least have some movement back and can move my arm and fingers without all but crying.  What do I do?  When I look this up on the internet they say ART is the best "medicine" but that's not really an option where I live.  Any suggestions????
