TriAya's Group: SHUT like dog on steak, sorry! (Page 22)

No new training to report here really – just SUPER sore from a couple hours of shoveling yesterday!  Totally feeling it in my shoulders & neck!  Surprisingly my back is fine.  I’m looking forward to spin in the early AM – need to get to bed so I don’t oversleep.  That only seems to happen when I’m really excited to go!

Yanti, thanks for the response on the bike – I feel much better now!  It is also nice to know how to adjust the bike, I really didn’t have a good way the first couple times I went . . . just kept adjusting until I thought it felt right, your suggestion sounds much simpler!  I did buy cleats too – thanks for asking   Luckily the guy knew I was new, or I would have had to go get 'em after your post LOL!

ldatug - 2008-01-08 7:32 AM No time for a long post this morning, but I"m back from Disney World.  Back to the gym....back to reality.

WB Laura - Hope you had a great time in Disney World!!  It's never fun coming back to reality!!

I made the early spinning class today - always questionable at 5:45am!  I liked my shoes & nothing hurt (well, other than my burning quads - but that's all good, LOL!)  I was a little worried about my knees, but they were fine.  It was a little strange not being able to move my foot on the pedal - I didn't realize how many times I usually reposition them to change my leverage . . . I figure it must be better teqnique to keep them locked into one spot, or the clips wouldn't be made hmmm . . . that will take a little getting used to, so I'm glad I bought the shoes now!  Ok, better start working   Have a great day all!

Mother scrubber!!  I am so pissed off right now.  I overdid it at Disney World.  Beginning yesterday the back of my right heel started hurting.  It's gotten worse and worse.  Turns out I have RETROCALCANEAL BURSITIS from walking too f#$%ing much at WDW.  So now I have to back off of running at least until this clears up.  I biked this morning and it didn't seem to bother it too much.  I wish my pool wasn't closed. 

 Has anyone ever had this before??

I've had bursitis of the shoulder that recurs occasionally, on its own schedule, since I was in my early 20s due to an old volleyball injury.  I feel for you, I do!  I would suggest getting into a physical therapist, chiropractor, massage therapist (or whatever you tend to use)  if you haven't already and get on a good rehab program asap.  Luckily it's so early in the season that hopefully you have time to recover and train before race season kicks in.  The one thing that worked wonders with my shoulder the first time it flared up, after I had tried everything (so I thought) was using magnet therapy.  Check into that if you haven't heard of it.  I know there used to be a company that sold them (Nikken?) but I just borrowed mine from my naturopath at the time.  Anyway, that's my two cents.  Hang in there and keep us posted. The good thing about being a triathlete is we do have other sports to fall back on when our bodies can't do one of them for some reason!!

Mother scrubber indeed. I'm calling a MORATORIUM on Manatee injuries and illness. Nobody is allowed to get broken from here on out. Poor Laura! I am so sorry, and I certainly hope it heals well, soon. BABY IT. You need that foot!

Just because I have a morbid curiosity regarding pathology ...

1. I assume you went to a doctor (or some kindly PT/chiro/etc.)? (Yes, I actually do know the difference between calcaneal and retrocalcaneal bursitis ... )

2. I'm still of the opinion that ice cures everything. Almost. Everyone together now: Frozen peas, up to 20 min., 3 or more times a day. Thank you ver'much.

3. Which shoes did you wear at WDW?

1.  Yep.  Brother-in-law is a doctor and said it's a "classic case" whatever that means.

2.  I am icing it right now.    I'm going to ice it at work several times tomorrow. I want this thing well fast!

3.  This one is what got me, I think.  I wore my Merrill Jungle Mocs.  They are hard in the back around the ankle, and I think that the hard part basically beat me in my achilles tendon all weekend.  We literally walked around for at least 10 hours (not including standing around time).  WDW wasn't crowded at all, so we didn't have to stand around much.  I wish I had worn different shoes the second day.  Oh well...

Hello!

I'm here - I tried getting caught up this afternoon, but didn't quite make it

funny how that timing worked out

Hi Shawn, I read this post earlier today and started to write a response, but I like to be thoughtful about it - so I will post more tomorrow night

I've had a hard time focusing the past couple of days - some pretty major life changes going on

but, you are right, the kick is important, and you want to be incorporating kicking drills in with your workout

LOL  - Leslie, I had to read the winter cleaning comment twice - I'm thinking - hmmmm, you use herbs to clean your pipes - and then ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I get it   LOL

Hi Terri!

How's the PF doing?

So, I had a super busy weekend with DD's BB - they lost the first game, won the second game - ended up 3rd in the tourney

Big life changes related to job on the horizon - this has been occupying most of my serious thought space

sorry to hear about the new injuires in the group

hehe  - it seems to work that way - I must have learned it from Yanti!

hey, congrats on your teams first week!
