I'm feeling better than yesterday, but I typically get up at 4:20 to go to work. I did not set my alarm this morning. When I got up I got up and I'd decide then if I was going to go in. Staying in bed won out. I still have a bit of a headache, when that goes away I'm going to go get my run in. HAVE A GREAT DAY GHOULIES!!! Good decision, taking the day off. I hope you recover and get back to your normal running self! |

Champion 6225 | Subject: RE: Show us your Ghoulies - Halloween Run Challenge Page #3 alright GHOULIES. im thinking im caught up (for now...) im doing laundry now, but heading to the Y in a few. i have a swim and run on tap. 46 min swim/5 mile run. im hoping to get in a 1 mile continuous swim + 800-1000 yds xtra. we'll see how the legs are feeling in the water....then the 5 miler. i was gonna make this my 45 min tempo, but again, my legs arent feeling 100%. if i cant get to the speedwork, no biggie. its the distance im most concerned about. i may split the run up 2.5 miles, swim, then 2.5 miles. we'll see how things 'loosen up' this morning. rest day tomorrow, and then meeting up w a group of people to run The Spirit course on Saturday bright and early. coming down to the wire. UBER EXCITED! RUN HAPPY GHOULIES! stacieb Edited by skrtrnr 2009-10-22 7:24 AM |

Not this time...last time it flared up I did PT for a couple weeks...I think I am just going to go back to the things that she taught me...Feeling mildly better today so hopefully I can test it out tomorrow with a short run, or maybe tonight if I get out of work at a decent hour. |

I moved into a new apartment in the beginning of August and have been furnitureless since. Wow, a sofa and love seat is some pretty grown up furniture. I hope you picked out something that won't clash with your bike (because we all have our bikes in the house at some point, don't we?). Mine has it's front and center in my dining room...suposed to be a built in china cabinet but the previous owners removed it...perfect spot for bike and trainer! |

Master 1726 Sacramento, California | Subject: RE: Show us your Ghoulies - Halloween Run Challenge Page #3 Morning everyone! Plan is to give the foot one more day (although if it is feeling good tonight I might try to get a run in when I get home) I am not going to try to push to do the 4 miles I had planned I just want to run and see how it feels. No worries though I am 46/60 miles right now so as long as I can get this feeling better and get one or two more good runs in I should be able to get to 100% |

I typically use Body Glide which works pretty well. I was out of BG so I decided I'd try some Band-Aid Friction Block that I had in my camelbak for hiking. It did not work well at all. I have a blister on the arch and the top of my right foot and on the ball of my left foot. I will be stopping tomorrow to pick up some more BG before I go out running. The Band-Aid brand stuff didn't go on nearly as well as the BG and I even questioned it in my mind before I went running.Take care of those feet Ghoulies!!! Do you wear socks also? I have orthotics and have never lubed my feet but I have been experiencing blisters/rubbing more latley...thought I needed new orthotics...which I am sure I do just am not ready to drop another $300 on them!! Yes, I'm a sock wearer. I wasn't until I got the orthotics. Bamboo socks seem to work the best for me, but that wasn't what I had on last night.  I had gotten my first ones at the price of $375, they were to last me 10 years. I wore them out in a year. I didn't feel like dropping that kind of money again so I was just going with the $50 Dr. Scholl's ones. I started having more and more back problems, and piriformis issues and my PT got me custom fitted for new ones. They were only $135, they are the full length, which I like, the other ones weren't and they are guaranteed for 5 years. So if I wear them out I get a new pair. They have no idea what I can do! They told me 7-10 years for mine...I also went through them in less then a year! Mine are full length but have like a cork bottom, when I can get my new pair they will have a hard plastic bottom that a friend swears by(she is a triathlete and PT) My new ones are definitely different than the old ones, not sure yet if that's a good thing. The old ones were only the 3/4 length so I was constantly getting blisters around the balls of my feet where they ended, and that was before I ever got into triathlons. They were also more rigid, my new ones have a little bit of give in them, not much, but just enough. The new ones also have a little bit of cushioning in the heel that I like. Question for you. Do you use them when you're on your bike? I have a cheap pair that I use for riding. I'm just thinking that they would take to long to move from bike shoes to running shoes in transition. I do not use any orthotics in my bike shoes, I have carbon bottom on the shoes so they do not bend and being on the bike there is no impact on the arch so it doesn't bother my PF. |

DIRTY DOGS! they knew the way to get us to move was thru our stomachs! LOL! I'm pretty sure that would get me every year too. I'm a sucker for the promise of free food. you would fit right in at my office, then! I have yet to get my flu shot...but going to give a call today!!! |
