Did my 3rd cross race today, rear brake cable came loose at the 2nd turn, gave the entire field at least 1:30 lead, so spent the rest of the race playing catch up. 45 minutes in high zone 4, low zone 5. Still fun. Just got done trick or treating. I'll post picks in a bit. Great job Linda! Cross Nationals are going to be in the Madison area in '11 so get working so you can participate!!! |

What is wrong with feeling lost in your workouts right now? It is the offseason. Look to switch it up somewhere, or if you prefer to just do swim, bike, run then just workout... Don't try to plan so much (I understand you have to plan your workouts with a crazy schedule) don't worry about Z1 for 20 minutes, then switch to Z3 for 18, etc... Just have fun. It's the offseason. Look at your hubby with cyclocross, and John doing trail running. Again it's the offseason don't worry! |

I want them to win it tonight, omg, I cannot tell you how much of a lifelong fan I am...well, I could, it would take a long time and I would probably start crying (again)...my dad and I are going nuts! It has been an amazing year. Go G-men!!!! |

Elite ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Good morning everyone. I just had my first PT session this AM. The ibuprofin the doctor told me to take iss doing great for my achillies. This will not, however deal with the cause of my pain, hence the PT. From the 1st session it is clear I am tight in my legs and my hip flexors. I mean really tight. The PT said that since my pain is only on one side there is probably an inbalance. She tried to work the muscles out to get an idea as to whether my legs are of different lengths. After working on my hip flexors for awhile she thinks my right leg is longer than my left. She gave me some exercises/stretches to do before my next appointment on friday. I have appointments about 2 x week for 4 weeks. Hopefully we can isolate the underlying cause of my inbalance and then plan how to correct it. I may need a lift in my left shoe. She did note that with my FLAT feet it is a wonder I do not have more problems, e.g., PF. I'll let you all know how it is going. She did say I can run, but NOT to run up hills for now.Doug Edited by DougRob 2010-11-01 9:46 AM |

A bit run heavy, ya think? 20% of my run volume for the year this month. I just MAY have ramped too quickly. I would say I'm looking forward to the off season, but everything hurts way too much to even contemplate any activity.....and my kids have cross country and water polo champs today....so lots of driving and standing. oy. Everyone's kids (and parents, too!) looked so cute all dressed up - I do miss those years! |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Happy November everyone. Where did October go? I think I took the off season a little too seriously so I won't bother posting my numbers. My butt hasn't seen the saddle of a bike since Augusta. Way to go Linda!!! That is fantastic!! Doug, glad Claire thinks she can help. And that she gave you clearance to run. Trust me, she doesn't give that lightly ![]() I know most people post pictures of thier kids on Halloween, but I want to brag about my friend's costume. For those of you who met Katie at Augusta, this is her husband Paul. The four of us went to a restaurant that, unbeknownst to us, was having a costume party. Our friend, the Mad Hatter, won 1st prize ($1000) for best individual costume. All home made (except the wig and hat). Pay no attention to the lame- on the right.

She did say I can run, but NOT to run up hills for now.Doug As someone who has trotted down this path, make sure you have a real anatomical difference before putting in a lift. Often times people have a pelvic tilt due to imbalances. Very easy to determine, a simple xray measures the bones in your leg on both sides to determine their exact length. Also consider an insert vs a lift if you do have a difference.. Insert puts pressure on the forefoot which can lead to SFs in some people. |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Linda a huge congrats! the family had a good weekend. The kid was just getting over a cold and missed his school Halloween party so we wanted to make sure he had fun yesterday. He had a blast, several streets were blocked off and there was a massive block party. Lots of interesting costumes and many haunted town homes.. I also had a little 5 mile race in central park Sunday morning. PR in time for me 38:10! pretty happy with the time. The race was pretty competitive. Lost to a guy in a full out Gumby outfit and a girl in a mermaid outfit.. Not sure how they ran 5 miles in those outfits.. Not sure if this is common but it seems that for the 5 mile race my garmin was .15 mile over in distance.. Is this common or is this due to the weaving to get around people?
