With a few caveats... need to wear an ankle brace, start slow, very low volume, etc. My log today has all the details but I think I'm going to stick with the AMT elliptical until my range of motion returns, etc. etc. etc. - but this is such a huge step in my recovery. HAPPY GIRL I'm so glad that you have improved so much! Woo hoo! |

After not having enough sleep last night (friend's b-day party). When I finished my run it was 10 degrees. Okey, if you told me a year ago I would be running in a freezing conditions, I would laugh to death. For me less than 60 degrees disqualified going for a run. And here I am today, running in the snow, bit of ice here and there, hitting my frozen chicks. I only had two long-sleeve shirts and it felt pretty perfect. My butt was freezing though. And you know what...? I actually enjoyed it! I talked to my brother and we both decided that running in cold is wayyyyy better than when it's hot and humid (oh Chicago...). Here are some pics. Not as spectacular as Adrienne's, but hey - it's winter  I hope all racers from this weekend had a great time! I LOVE running in the snow. Very peaceful. Great photos! |

Do you use something like yaktrax? |

Pro 6520 Bellingham, WA | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Closed Originally posted by marysia83 To Steve: I wish you only healthy days and a quick, peaceful recover. I know you are very strong and will manage to be in a great running shape very soon. You have always been so supportive, motivating, and inspiring, especially to beginners. You are such an experienced and knowledgeable triathlete, and you never let beginners to think they are just super silly. You've always had plenty of respect to everyone on this forum, who was lost in training and seeking an advice. I am very thankful to be a part of this forum with you. Get better soon!!! Thank you for your kind words. Interesting turn of events. I got a call last night from my oncologist. As an alternative to surgery there is a new drug approved by the FDA to fight other types of cancer that has been approved for clinical trials for what I have. Problem is that some folks in the trial get a placebo. If it does grow by 20% and you were on a placebo they will then put you on the drug. Another benefit is that it attacks the tumor(s) at a microscopic level so if there is something in there as yet undetected it will work against that too. I can afford to let the thing grow a little bit before surgery is required so I am considering this option though we do not really know how much growth before it starts to interfere with functions. Kind of a crap shoot and not really sure what to do at this point. Also, since I am currently resting up for surgery I am not doing any training. If that surgery is no longer on the immediate horizon I can get off the DL. |

Winter seems to have finally arrived to all of the states, including Florida! Of course, our winter is a bit different from what Mary ran through this weekend. Man, that is some seriously cold weather, good job getting out there! In other news, I had a really fun race. For those with time on their hands, here's the race report! Wooohoo awesome. Hoping to get some time to read it. Glad you had a fun one |

| Seattle | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Closed I had a solid race on Saturday, especially given a pretty hard training week (specifically a TON of vertical. From Saturday to Saturday I think I exceeded 15,000' vert) Then I headed out to the mountains and conquered a mountain that has eluded me a bit on a 30K splitboard tour. Splitboard/cross country/skimo touring is an excellent workout that very much simulates running but much lower impact.

Not as spectacular as Adrienne's, but hey - it's winter I hope all racers from this weekend had a great time! Might not have the mountains around here, but the trail system can be very picturesque. There are long stretches of woods where you can go most all day through what your pictures showed, even on a bike. And don't forget the fairly substantial lake nearby! It's really a whole different world in the winter. |

Regular 980 Caerphilly, Wales, uk. | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Closed It's about time we had some good news around here. Glad things are looking up Lisa, and I'm happy your Aunt is no longer critical Laura. Steve, I've never been in a situation like yours, so don't know how I would react, but I'd like to think I'd take a punt at the meds before surgery. There are so many things that could go wrong with surgery. I'm sure you will make the best decision. I've received a free months pass to be used on Trainer Road if anyone wants to give it a shot. Let me know. Received lots of goodies through the post today, January sales shopping. Some nice wet weather gear to get me out on the road again like a Gore Oxygen Jacket, Castelli Gabba top and a few pairs of Sportful No Rain tights among other things. Gotta love shiny stuff |
