kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2011 Part 2 - CLOSED (Page 222)

Tried a nose clip, but cant stand them.  I generally limit my pool WOs to 45 mins.  I take a Zyrtec about 2 hours before and 2 hours after swimming and another before bed.  I also shower well and use a netipot to clear my sinuses.  this usually works, but not always.  The best med i have found is Cingulair, but Zyrtec is cheaper on my drug plan.

Today I ran for 15 whole minutes before having coughing spasms.  Meh.

Feel better for the holiday, Jeff.

I take 24 hour Claritin, but perhaps I need something stronger.  A script from the doc.  I have a Neti Pot and haven't used it in ages.  Perhaps I'll give that a shot, too.  Don't think the nose clip is the best option for me. 

So my day exploded and I've been pretty MIA.  Of course things explode at work 2 days before Thanksgiving after 3 really slow weeks.

Hoping to get home tonight and watch Biggest Loser while getting in some quality trainer time.

Have fun Jen.

Found this on a friend's FB page:

Yes, happy turkey day to all.

Good luck to all racing this week/weekend!!!

Finally have my IMFL pictures (almost 3 weeks later) . . .

kelly, i likey your helmet!!!!

Tried an true but heavier.  3 ounces isn't going to make a difference but a blister will.

Question for everyone.  Check out these pics.  These are on shoes with less thant 150 miles each (one pair has 112 mile).  I am tearing the crap out of all the heels on all these kayanos ... What do you suggest?  I can't tie them tighter cuz then it is painful on the top of my foot.  I know my heel slips a little, probably causing this.  Should I try putting body glide or vasoline on the heel in the shoe so it doesn't grab and rip the material?

As it is, I am going to have to get 2 more pairs of shoes ready for goofy becaues these will not hold up.

Carrie I can honestly say I've never seen that.  Body Glide is an idea.  Did you get fit for those or buy them on your own?  Just curious.

Set a new mileage PR for a month this morning at 114.15

That is really weird.

Carrie -- can you post a picture of what the soles look like?  I'm curious about the wear pattern and if your foot strike is causing the issue.

I got fit for these at Roadrunner.  However, I do not wear the custom orthotics anymore. Simply too heavy and just wasn't working.  Caused alot of knee problems, so substituted for the green super feet which seem to work.  So year, stability insole in stability shoe ... weird, but I tend to role my ankles easily (and had many surgeries on my right ankle)

Will send more pics later of shoe.  This has happened to all my shoes, but seems to be happening quicker.  I got 250 or more out of the last set of 2 pairs of kayanos.  All other shoes don't have enough miles yet to see if the same issue occurs.

I'd definitely take them in there and ask their opinions.

When did you start running that much! SMACK DOWN!

Of course, I have run a sum total of 25 minutes in the past 8 days, so i am not one to talk.

Since I cant run, I ate a lot of pizza last night at Sallys (best pizza place in New Haven, and thus the world).  However, the calories don't count as it with my brother and sister -in-law, in from LA for thanksgiving.  I have a small family and it sucks that they are across the country. 

Gobble gobble!

I have over 500 miles on my favorite pair of K Swiss Blades and they're still going strong.

I have wobbley ankles too (had my left ankle reconstructed) and I run in neutral shoes.  I'm wondering if the motion control is maybe too controlling?
