Fred D's triathlon training group CLOSED (Page 49)

Niiiiice!

good on you guys.  I always try and help someone if I can.  What goes around comes around I figure.

Always good to feel like you left it all on the course.  good job.

Starting to get some pain in one of me knees.  I don't really notice it running but I notice it walking around.  I'll keep monitoring it I guess.  Hoping maybe the trail running is just causing some stuff to get stretched out or something silly and soon it will be back to normal.

finally settling in here in Payson.  Just planted the garden.   Should get my office setup this weekend and my life back on a normal track, so perhaps I can get back into a regular routine again.  Getting the runs in but that is about it

Great race Ryan! Great time!

Good for you helping out Jen!

Rode up to a 5K yesterday, about 26 miles or so to the race.  Had a good time at the race, but was a bit slow.  Not unexpected with the ride prior.  It is a great weekend weather wise here for a change, trying to take advantage of it!

Hi all, i have returned from Florida

Cliff notes.

It was actually nice to not be tied to a computer, and out of the loop, it reminds you how much we rely and how much time we actually spend in front of these little electric boxes.

So, i got sick as a dog last Thursday 102* fever and Morgan had gotten her first ear infection ever, nice.....

Friday took a sick day from work, still not 100%

Saturday we flew to Florida, Morgans first flight ever, flight was good, Morgan was good, my ears were clogged and would not unclog, we landed and my ears were killing me and head was totally congested

Sunday through Wednesday were typical vacation days, i ran and swam each day, spent a lot of time at the beach with the family, cough and congestion never subsided

Thursday i rented a bike, and tried to hook up with a local velo club for their 35-50 mile hammerfest, i went to where they were supposed to meet and got there 15 mins early and waited 45 mins and the ride never materialized, so i went for 35 miles on my own, Florida is flat and boring, but great for interval training.

Friday i swam a bit, and we got ready to leave on Saturday

Still have the cough, flight home was uneventful and i only put on 2 lbs from vacation. Nice place to visit, but i am glad i live in the Northeast.

There is still something in my chest, and my throat was sore from coughing all week, i will probably go to the Dr early this week.

And i got a nice suntan!!!!

Looks like i missed about 15 pages of stuff, i will try and scan through them, hope everyone had a great 2 weekends and week.

Ryan - great run.  One of these days I'll take a crack at 10K.

Rudy - welcome back, hope you enjoyed the vacation time.

It is in the front of the knee, mostly above the knee cap.  I really notice it going down a steep hill or stepping up high but also when I make a quick move to the side, even a small move.  It feels like it is going to give out and has pain.  I wouldn't call it a sharp pain per say.

so far so good, have not had any pain, and when i do run, i make sure to take ibuprofen afterwards, it seems to be helping.

x2.  Smoking fast...and not much drop off in pace during the hills...impressive.

Had a really good training weekend to wrap up the meat of my HIM training.  Saturday long ride I just kept it at HIM effort (rather than blocks above HIM effort) to make sure I didn't bonk again.  Actually felt pretty good.  Followed it up with a great 15.5 mile run today.

Do you mean on top of the bony knee cap or in the soft tissue directly above the knee cap? Sorry to jump in! If you mean on top of the bony part then sounds like a prepatellar bursitis--inflammation of a little sac that helps to essentially lubricate to prevent friction between the patella and the skin during movement. Just my guess with your description!

More like the soft tissue above the knee cap.  There is no swelling and it is not tender to the touch.
