She also told me to do pilates. What's the difference between yoga & pilates? I have lots of yoga DVD's, is it similar? What's the plan with the 50K? Oh the 50k is still on! She's not making me stop running, as it's not making anything worse. (Probably just not allowing it to get better.) I've been stretching after every run and it has been helping. I actually feel much better than I did when I first saw her about 7 weeks ago. I was having stabbing pain/muscle cramping in my butt cheek, which is no fun. That's gone away and I'm back to the usual hamsting/sciatic pain I've had for a long time. She still thinks I could benefit from a cortisone shot because in her words "I'm just being stoic" which I had to admit is pretty accurate. I tolerate the pain and it's just become part of my normal day, but she thinks I could be a whole lot better. I'm kind of mixed, she said it was up to me, I could continue with stretching/PT and add in pilates. But when she moved my legs around and I cringed she recommended getting the MRI and going from there. At least that will show if there's something going on in my back, and how bad it is. Maybe it'll be no big deal and no injection will be needed. Good on being able to do the 50K! I think you need to get the MRI and do some SERIOUS rest post-50K in order to be in good condition to train for Lake Tahoe. With where you're having pain, I think biking would be very uncomfortable right now (and that's something you want to fix before Tahoe). |

It is the cheaper route than a powertap kidtri33 - 2012-11-13 10:49 AM Everyone complains how loud the magnetic one is ha! How about you? Love my Kurt Kinetic Road Machine.

New saddle, wheels, tires, wetsuit, helmet, cold weather running gear. Out of all of that I will probably get the saddle and tires I would also love and upgraded quieter trainer. Everyone complains how loud the magnetic one is ha! How about you?I have a mag trainer too, and it's LOUD. lol Thankfully I'm in the basement so no one can hear me in the early morning. |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED Get the MRI and figure out what exactly is going on. My friend Tammy went to tons of doctors this year for months, only to find out finally after the MRI she had a torn hamstring (she did IMWI, but not without significant pain). I have had the epidurals in the back, and then ultimately back surgery from a severely herniated disc. Epidurals work for some and last, they didn't for me.

I have 2XU tights that are supposed to be active and recovery. Great for active, not so much for recovery. I know people that swear by Zoot RX tights for recovery. They wear them after races or really long workouts. Generally sleep in them too which makes sense since the best time to increase blood flow to the area is during REM cycles. |

Pro 4723 CyFair | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 Part 2 - CLOSED 7 days of antibiotics on the horizon. She hasn't been running a fever much over 100 for the last few days and I really thought I had it licked yesterday as I had it back to 98.6 at noon, but this morning she was back at 100. Guess she also got the rash this morning that makes the scarlet fever named as such. Fun times as it's my day at the office and the pregnant one is at home. |
