Whine on.

It looks like I have my first real injury. At my yearly physical today my doctor looked at my left achillies and diagnosed bursitis. He is going to have me take ibuprofin 2x a day for 2 weeks to try and reduce the inflamation.

I am scheduled to see a PT on Monday as well to figure out full treatment and hopefully some prevention.

Whine off.

DougRob - 2010-10-29 5:59 AM Tendonistis and bursitis in the achillies apparently are often confused. Due to the swelling and it location in addition to tenderness to the touch my doctor concluded it is bursitis, which is inflamation of the bursa sac. I am really hoping I can get this unde rcontrol quickly. There are only 6.5 months until Rev3!!

DougRob - 2010-10-29 9:54 AM I am going to see Claire Little at your recommendation! Hope this works.

SSMinnow - 2010-10-29 2:52 PM Hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween.  Personally, I hope we get 100s of kids and they eat every last morself of our candy!

Hey, MG.  Just googled my mom, it's been almost a year since we lost her and I wanted to see her obit again.  Kept searching links....on a different note, I couldn't believe what came up.  My maiden name, married name....  pictures, articles, stuff.   Has anyone else done this?  Should this freak me out?  Issue, non-issue, taper madness?

Linda,
I find that the amount of info. available and the content is a shock. It scares me, but...I think there is nothing we can do about it. Remember the taper is to make you heal so you can kick some $#^^!!!!

TrevorC - 2010-10-30 5:56 AM GM group. Off to do a shorterish long run this morning. Funny when 24k(15miles) is now a 'short' long run.
One thing I am quite proud of is as of Thursday I hit my 1000km goal of running for the year, and am over 150k this month going into todays run- will be longest month of running ever after today. 3 years when I started allthis crazy stuff, I never ever thought  I would/could run this much.

edit: looked at Lindas log since she posted last this morning. She's run almost 6X further this year than me. You humble me as a runner Linda. ~~375miles/month.

gdctex - 2010-10-30 10:05 AM Ok, I need advice.

I am training for 2 half marathons this winter, the first one is about a month away on 12/5, while many of you are partying racing in Vegas. Right now, I am feeling pretty good about my progress. 

I did my long run of the week this morning (8.3 miles/ 9:43pace, a PR for that distance, btw).  It was a great morning for a run.....temps in lower 40's, no wind.....felt great!  My right knee seized tight on the last mile.  I think it is still my IT Band.....need to keep rolling it.

So, looking at my HR data, I never got out of Zone 3 the entire run, not even for one second.  

I get mixed messages on when I should be pushing my HR up to Z4 during my training runs....or what should be the plan as to when to push or not push into Z4.  One message I get is I am not pushing hard enough on my training runs if I stay in Z3.  

 So, how should I be approaching this for long runs vs. shorter runs during the week.  I do push up to Z4 during shorter runs, hills, intervals, etc.   Just that the long run, like this morning, I tend to stay mostly in Z3.

velcromom - 2010-10-30 10:34 PM Teenagers all gone-wheew, was this house loud.   And they ate FOUR large pizzas plus lots of soda, chips, salad and candy.   Posted a pic on facebook if interested.  Seriously stressing about the race, now.  Ankle hurts.  Wheezing a bit. rescue inhaler is a bit big for my new belt.  Egads.  Packed my SE, stuck in fridge.  Charged garmin.  Checked map 4 times.

Rain is supposed to clear out.  7 am start.  Want to be WAY done by 11.....

Bib number 890, Kyla, I'll be wearing black shorts with pink trim, pink top & white boston hat.  Pink ponytail.   See a theme?  Run belt has some pink too, may be going over the top with this.

Good night all.  If you want to check in with Jeff, text him at 408-921-8511.  Hopefully he'll know where I am.
