bzgl40 - 2010-01-13 6:34 AM Hum, I have no nagging injuries or anything but I'd like to stay that way and your intriguing me with this chi running.  You reading a particular book you'd recommend?

Newtons1st - 2010-01-13 9:43 AM Well I have the nagging calf and have thought about this. How did you get started on it?

trying1 - 2010-01-13 10:17 AM

I got started based on what my physical therapist said, he told me that if I don't layoff on  running I may need to have surgery within the yr because I was having inconsistent wear on my right knee and it was creating a clicking noise and would lock-up sometimes at mile 5 or so and be very sore after a run.  He recommended that I read "Chi Running A revolutionary Approach to Effortless, Injury-Free Running by Danny Dreyer."  Several of my friends already recommended the book and since the PT recommended it I decided to take the plunge.  I think it's a great book because it doesn't just talk about running technique.  It talks about the mental approach to running (that is applied to other things you do as well) and understanding how your body feels and reacts to things.  I still need to constantly refer to the book to properly do the exercises it recommends and I haven't gone through all the exercises yet.  I refer to video clips on youtube as well and I'm thinking about buying the DVD since it's sometimes hard to visualize what's on the page.

Nicole83 - 2010-01-12 4:30 PM Justine- glad you're OK!  But you gotta warn a girl when you're going to put up a near bare a.ss shot.  Some of us look at this at work ya know. 





Hi everyone.  It's been an insane week for me but just wanted to pop in and say hey.  Eric, don't punish me (as you're clearly trying to do already), but I don't know that I'm going to get pool workouts in this week.  I will try, but I've got a lot going on.  The group shouldn't suffer because I'm lazy.

Happy Tuesday ya'll.

But the bare a.ss shot was just for you!!!!!!!

KelliD - 2010-01-13 12:20 PM As much as she tries to deny it, you know she loves it!!

Glad the war wounds are only minor   Feel better!

Nicole83 - 2010-01-13 3:26 PM My work life sucks right now.  This is the first free 5 minutes I've had today and I'm here until at least 8 again tonight.

I'm starting to feel like Justin.

No workout for me again tonight.

Bah. 

But at least it's HUMP day.  (yes Todd, I'm doing a little dance for you.) 

Nicole83 - 2010-01-13 3:26 PM

Don't remind me

KeriKadi - 2010-01-13 4:08 PM

Don't remind me

Nicole83 - 2010-01-13 4:17 PM LOL.  For the past 4 months my husband has worked out of town M-F. 

By the time Friday rolls around fence posts start looking attractive.  TRUST me, I understand your pain.

Houstonrider - 2010-01-13 4:50 PM Keri,

Let this be a lesson to you........ don't restrict yourself to only one day a week "hump day". There are 7 days in a week. Try to expanded yourself a bit.

Newtons1st - 2010-01-14 9:35 AM Bwahhahahahah. I can see Justin now. He just spit out coffee, fell out of his chair and fell into convulsions.

NRG42 - 2010-01-14 7:01 AM Hey guys,

Got outside for a run yesterday, but was still really cold for me (34C) with brutal winds.  Knee still super sore after run but bareable while running.

Question for all you professionals:   Does the overall body soreness ever go away?  I am fine while training but the after is brutal.  Does this get better with time?

bzgl40 - 2010-01-14 9:13 AM Good job in getting out there. 

How long after do you remain sore?  I would have to say it goes away as your fitness builds and eventually your shorter easier workouts barely bother you or only bother you for a short time.  Your longer or more intense workouts will stay with you longer but shouldn't be more then a day.  But, when you change things up you'll be affected for longer.  I recover pretty quick right now.  My runs at the distance they are don't linger with me at all, regardless of the intensity.  It'll come with time and more important consistency.

bzgl40 - 2010-01-14 10:18 AM So, the process of moving to Tucson has begun.  Not sure when we'll move but we are for sure hoping to have it done soon.  Looking at renting out my house instead of selling it due to the market, even though Oregon City faired better then most of the states.  But silly me bought at the peak of the market.  But....this potentially totally messes up my planned summer schedule.  I might stick to my registered half at the end of June regardless of where I live.  First off cause I bloody registered already.  But I really want to do that course.  I already have a camp site booked so I can either come down with the camper (2 day drive ) or tent it.  No biggy, especially if I talk a sucker into driving.  But I really can't register for anything else at the moment until I know when I can move.  I can work from anywhere but my partner needs to figure out what to do work wise. 

Newtons1st - 2010-01-14 9:58 AM So last night I get home and do the usual stuff. Letting dogs out of thier pins to go outside. Get the baby girl what ever she needs, throw the keys on the counter and what not. Let the dogs back in and head to the bedroom to change. Puppy is all excited about being out and playing. Throw my pants on the bed and go to the bathroom to pee. As I am standing there doing my thing it seems puppy thought it would be a great idea to run between my legs and jump into the toilet to chase the "fluid" as I was midstreem. Now there is no way to insta stop peeing, grab puppy who is squirming arouind in the bowl and not have a royal mess.  Needless to say puppy and I had to take a shower and I had to do some cleaning. If I wasnt laughing so hard I might have been upset. But how can youu get mad at a cute little puppy.
