kcarroll - 2010-01-23 2:31 PM I met my new running bff today!!!  Patello-femoral issues have been a real challenge for me, especially on longer runs.  I've had to walk home more than once after the knee went postal on me, usually after mile 5 or 6.  My orthopod has me doing knee PT to work on balancing quad/ham strength and flexibility, but that hasn't been enough.  I've tried the pat-straps and they're just ok.  Today I used kinesiology tape on both knees (recommended by my LRS) and ran a little over 7.5 and felt GREAT.  No knee pain AT ALL.  This is big.


I want me some of that.  Where did you get it?  Then I'll look like all those cool Olympian folks.  If it feels good, I don't care what people say.
So glad you found something that works!


It's called KT Tape.  It's an elastic Athletic tape.  I picked it up at a race expo last fall but never tried it.  Then the owner of the LRS, who knows how much trouble I've had with both knees, suggested it and showed me how to apply.

Yeah, I think looking cool is half the fun.  Although it was 19* yesterday so I had tights on and no one saw my fancy olympic looking knees.  But tonight am playing indoor soccer and will tape them up for all to admire.  Speaking of which.....mini rant warning.  Who schedules a soccer game after the Jet/Colts game???? So either I don't have any beer at the neighbors or I play tonight with a buzz.  Hmmmm.

Good morning everyone!  Man, this weekend was over WAY too quick for me.  I spent pretty much the whole time outside enjoying the beautiful weather!  Short of a cranky right hip (which for the record makes me feel like a senior citizen) it was a great weekend.

Happy Monday.  Hopefully this week flies by!

Happy Monday all. Just an observation.... I noticed that our post count dramatically drops when we are on our own time (weekend), as opposed to when we are in the office?????? Just food for thought. Or then again maybe we are all just busy training.

Happy Monday!

Whooooo hooooooo.  Got the necessary approvals from my leadership to work full time from home in Tucson.  My partner cleared it to work on call intead of full time.  Now, um, anyone want to rent a house in Oregon City?  It's really green here.  Trees, grass, and flowers grow really well.  Tons of hills to bike, mountains to climb, trails to run.

Congrats on working from home......I also work from home and it is the best. Sometimes it gets tough since, at times it seems like I never get out of the house, but I wouldn't change a thing. Nothing like getting up, taking a shower, putting PJ's on, and starting to work. Hell I wear running shorts "to" work and get my runs in during my lunch hour.

jezzieswims - 2010-01-23 7:38 PM Went to urgent care today, one chest x-ray and a breathing treatment later I found out this cough is actually bronchitis. Time for antibiotics and a steroid inhaler. Thanks everyone for keeping me out of the water. I had to promise to really take it easy this time.

Well I will have a complete fitting to decide between the 54 and 56 cm Cervelo P2C on Wednesday. My wife gave me approval since she knew I was going to be buying a tri bike at the end of the summer and this seemed like a good enough deal to buy now.
