Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed (Page 164)

Throwing myself into the mix again this month, however it will only be for two more weeks, then a whole lot of rest days!

Congrats on a great race Ernesto!

Feeling the urge to get back in the pool a little this month to break up some of the running, so I think I'll put my name back on the chart this month.

Chris, get an appointment with your doctor to have that leg checked out.  Don't risk further damage until you know for certain whats going on.  They should be able to see a fracture on an xray even if its small. Muscle/ligament problems will show up on an MRI.  Hope it's nothing too serious.

Chris, no chances.  Get it checked now! 
Joe, that taper stuff is crazy.  Repeat after me .. everything will be fine.

13 miler for me today.  Last 3 were really hard after yesterday's bike ride.  HR monitor on the fritz.  New battery tomorrow.

Easy 30' run today. Next full credit workout will be Sunday. 

E & C: Thanks for the words of encouragement and advice.  Am mulling everything over right now and will continue to hone my strategy.

Came across this link to a recent interview with Dr. Maffetone over at ST for those of you who may be interested:

More on the stress fracture subject.  When my daughter went back for her follow up her doctor was livid.  he'd seen two patients earlier in the day who had been diagnosed with stress fractures weeks earlier.  one was a grown women who when diagnosed was 6 weeks out from the Detroit Marathon.  She took three weeks off and ran the marathon anyway.  Her stress fracture was in her pelvis - she now has a fully broken pelvis.  The other patient was a teenager who after six weeks was showing no improvement.  Doc asked her if she had listened to his directions that she do no running or ipact activities.  She seemed to think that practicing and playing powder puff football would be okay.  Her parents were also at the original appointment and did not seem to get that playing football is an impact sport (with regard to legs).

Doc was happy that my daughter had done no running.  She still has a couple weeks to rest and then I think she'll get the all clear.  Then I get to work on rehabbing her from a run perspective.

Great time! I am also aiming at sub 10 race...for my HM in February! Nice to see your hard work pay off. Sorry I am late to the party, just came back from Washington (D.C.) where I met my new nephew, so while you were racing I was drinking.

Impact on the drainer... no, but possibly torque.  I'd be cautious.  If it hurts, don't do it.

Scott's right - Doc's orders to me were cycling or elliptical fine if there was not pain.  Where is your pain?  When you press on the localized area does it hurt?  Agree your comment about every ache and pain.  Doc didn't order me to wear a boot or anything.  But I think that was due to where it was on my leg.  Don't think waiting a week will be bad. 

40 minutes on the drainer.

Swim during lunch

chris2533 - 2012-11-05 2:17 PM Mitch, I know this is silly, but your avatar has always reminded me of this iconic photo. I think it is just the body position.

LMFAO!!!!! That pic was taken on my annual father/daughter camping trip.  group of dad's and a bunch of daughter's tent camping for a week.  My girl's were mortified that I donned the wetsuit. 

4 miles this morning

Updating my workouts for the month. You won't see many for a few days, but once recovered I am starting CX season and marathon training. I haven't had any time to sit and write a race report but it's coming soon.

Glad to see the gang motivated and strong!

30' run on the dreadmill followed by 40' on the drainer with some isolated leg drills.

Adding in yesterday's workouts, 3 mile run on the treadmill, then I swam 1000 yards, but was well under the 30 minute threshold so that one's not added in.  Hopefully get the bike back from the shop today, all tuned up and ready to go, and get some time on the trainer this afternoon.  The shop owner, who is a friend, was shocked that I was still on the bike's original chain at close to 3000 miles and said the stretch and wear were awful, so I guess I get a new chain and cassette while we're at it.  I guess excessive chain stretch causes the cassette teeth to wear down?  Is there a break-in period for a new chain that I'll need to think about prior to my race in two weeks?
