carrie639 - 2011-01-11 12:38 PM If the doctor says PT and it is covered by insurance, do it, just be wary of how many appts you use (if there is an annual limit) just in case you need any later.

I have been in therapy for my IT band for the last 3 or so weeks and I am finally up to 1 hr of running, it has helped, if nothing else to show me how to strengthen muscles and what to strengthen.  As you can see from my training, I have pretty much kept everything else up though.

jarvy01 - 2011-01-12 1:08 PM We have a foot of snow on the ground right now, too.  More coming....

I think the doctor made a mistake diagnosing me with a groin pull.  My groin doesn't hurt at all anymore.  After some searching, I came upon some articles on piriformis syndrome.  It really made sense & clicked.  The pain in my butt/thigh/labia was sciatica (I am very prone to this....was on bedrest with one pregnancy because it was so bad).  Anyone know anything about piriformis syndrome? 

I spent some time on the bike.  Didn't go too hard or anything.  I actually feel better after having biked for a while!  Perhaps it loosened up the muscles or something.

Going to look for a therapist in my area.  It wouldn't hurt.  Plus, I have chronically tight calf muscles, and this person could probably help me with that problem, too. 

Artist - 2011-01-12 5:29 PM update on my ski week-It was whiteout blizzard conditions on Sunday so I went x-country skiing for 45 minute. Snowing and blowing so bad I had to give up. Monday it was 10 below on the mountain and our skis would not run. left the mt and went for new wax. Top of the mt was in an ice cloud and skis still hardly ran. Tuesday began at 20 below and got up to 10 below and we bagged it. Today-started at zero on the mountain and became a heat wave at 20. Glorious skiing today except my knee was screaming by end of the day. Funny-I am missing my tri training thoough. Enjoy keeping up on all your posts-

pbrown70 - 2011-01-12 7:11 PM just got back from Miami on a biz trip left the house at 630 am, 12 plus hours round trip. Do you  think its bad to not do any workout or should I force myself oh yeah eat lots crap today.

I enjoyed reading the article on consistency.  This is the longest streak I've had of pink in a while.  Since starting the training for Hyannis, I was choosing rest as an option when rest was a choice over engaging in recovery type biking or swimming.  I have changed that streak, at least temporarily.  I am feeling good about my training, and I'm looking to seeing what we can do at Hyannis.

It's been really enjoyable to have a Sunday morning running crew as well.  Running with others has really helped my training!

This snow sucks!  I couldn't get to the Southington Y today, so I'll need to get my swim in at some other point this week.

kaburns1214 - 2011-01-13 5:38 AM Anything fun on tap today?  I'm looking at running some hills this morning (hoping the roads are plowed well) and then hitting the pool this afternoon.

Ride and run already in this morning.  Does working from home with a sick kid count as fun?

abqtj - 2011-01-13 10:23 AM Running question:

Is it unreasonable to think about doing a half marathon late this year for me?

I can run 4 miles pretty much any time I go out for a run and have done 5 miles once. Prior to last year, I've never done more than about 3-3.5 miles in my life. 

uhcoog - 2011-01-13 10:19 AM Have a feeling I'm in for a lot of Jack's Big Music Show and Mickey Mouse Funhouse.
