1 year, 1000 miles (Page 22)

Argh! I tweaked my lower back yesterday on my run. Today I could barely walk and had to come home from work. Researching the symptoms it appears I may have either sciatica or piriformis syndrome. Both seem to require full rest. Just when my running was starting to get back, now it seems I have to take more time off. Hopefully either my self diagnosis is wrong or it isn't as bad as it seems and I will only need a few days off. The last couple days it's been extremely windy and I had to strain to get through. I think that may have caused the problem.

The bunny has me by about 16 miles, just about the mileage I missed during my taper week for an Oly. Oh, well. There is still time.

I hope everyone is having a great summer. It's been windy here, of course.

Nice! I'm about 60 down and will be another 20 after this week of anti-training (fishing with the boys). Chips, slim Jim's, beer, pizza, etc :-). I'll get back at it next week.

Well, I finally did the math, and it is impossible for me to get a 1000 miles this year. Still probably 6 weeks out from possibly being able to run, and who knows how fast I will be able to ramp up. I figured I could do 40 mpw which I was comfortable with before, but I do not know when I will get there, and there just isn't enough time. It a bummer when it goes from improbable, to just impossible.

I'm not sure where to go with my challenge from here. Perhaps I could subtract the time I was not allowed to run and make a modified goal. .... but I really wanted a 1000. I can go for walks now. I have just been doing a half mile or so. I'll do 1 mile a day next week. See how that is.

Originally posted by ransick  The 1000 miles doesn't have to be on a year boundary. You could ramp back up then do your 1000 miles from August 1st to August 1st, or September. I bet a few of us would join you.

Actually... that would be pretty awesome to get a 1000 by my surgery anniversary next year... it would keep me off the couch for Winter... I'm going to roll that around. That is possible even with off time.

For now, I am going to sign up for a local Fall series, and I am going to do a HM in December I have done once before. I would love to beat my time and that is more than possible. Went to the doc today and he said I could get on my trainer... but the spin bikes at the gym might be better. Walked a mile and a half today. Slowly but surely...

Originally posted by peto_primo Good luck. What hm in December?

Originally posted by sanhador I've been evacuated due to forest fires. Family is ok and we are stayin with friends. Don - you're in south colo springs right? Who else is in the area, Pete? Everyone ok?

Originally posted by sanhador Yeah I'm back. Been back for a month or so. We're evacuated from the Black Forest fire. Right now the house is ok - but the fire is just south of the house and the win is supposed to blow it north. So we are kind of in a waiting period until this afternoon to see how bad it's going to be.
