Pro 4672 Nutmeg State | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 - CLOSED rizer22 - 2012-02-29 5:13 PM I met with the Orthopedic today as a second follw up to shoulder surgery. He feels I am ahead of schedule, and was cleared to get back on the bike outdoors, and start running. Just need to monitor and make sure I don't over do it. Very happy about that. So, what I thought was an IT Band issue, actually may be something entirely different. I've been dealing with neck issues and lower back issues since the accident. The neck issue is another story. Anyway, my lower back on the left side sometimes flares up, and causes crippling pain, mostly while standing or sitting too long. It's odd, simply becasue if I am active like walking or trainer, I have no issues. He strongly feels it may be an SI Joint issue that got knocked out of place. It causes some leg numbness when I sit too long etc. So I am seeing another PT specialists on this issue next week. It's never ending!! But I think I am slowly on the road to recovery. Was very happy to hear I can get back to activities I enjoy. We'll see how much pain I can tolerate with the neck, shoulder and back. I also respect it, and need to be sure I remain that way! Anyone else deal with SI Joint? I hope I am saying that correctly. I guess when it gets knocked around, it causes one leg to be shorter than the other. The SI joint was part of my back issue last year. Its definitely work-able. Glad you're able to get back to training! |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 - CLOSED Interesting app, haven't tried it yet, but it holds all kinds of courses and tells you when to increase/decrease elevations when you are in the treadmill and gives pics of where you are on the course. Could make training on the dreadmill a little more fun. Has anyone used this yet? http://www.appsdownunder.com/funruntrainer |

Master 2538 Albuquerque | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 - CLOSED Sorry to hear about your injury, Jen. Carrie, I forgot to weigh in yesterday...I think I gained a tad...215.1 Missed losing much before the big trip (we head out tomorrow morning to drive to Houston, then the cruise is Sunday). I'm hoping to not GAIN much while on vacation and be able to come home in two weeks around the same weight. We'll see though! |

Master 1832 Elgin, IL | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 - CLOSED My plan going on cruises was always to use the stairs, regardless of how many flights you have to take to get around and get your workouts in. There are almost always fitness centers. Have fun! |

She is 99% certain I have a tibial stress fracture, but she can't be certain until she sees the x-rays. Also, she said an x-ray doesn't pick up all stress fractures. OK. I asked how to proceed if the imaging didn't pick up a fracture, and she said I absolutely need to treat it like a fracture because of the symptoms and swelling, which means no running for 4-6 weeks (more like 6). She wants an air cast on it during weight bearing activities. I'm allowed to swim (no kick sets or hard pushing off walls) and cycle (no standing on bike). So...I'm trying to understand this. I'm not allowed to run even if the x-ray says there's no fracture. Seriously? Would you accept this? I'm thankful I'm allowed to swim and ride the bike, but this sucks. I saw Kelly responded on your other post, but yes it's typically 6 weeks for a stress fracture to heal (sometimes more). The xray will not pick up on it until the bone has started to regrow, and you can see the different shading of growth in the bone. That takes a few weeks if I remember correctly. I've had 4 stress fractures that I can remember (maybe 5). First was in my toe, xray showed nothing. But, my podiatrist at the time was positive it was a stress fracture. I believed him, and sure enough the xray a few weeks later supported that because you could see the new bone growth. Tibula was another one, and again the same podiatrist was positive that was it. The xray a few weeks later supported it. He did not let me run, but did let me bike as long as there was no pain. I think I also was able to do elliptical too. Calcaneous was another, and because I was supposed to run the Chicago Marathon in a few weeks I asked for a bone scan to be sure, which will show a stress fracture early on. No Chicago Marathon for me. Talk about going to a race (I had already bought the plane ticket), and watching all your training buddies running, it SUCKED!!! Last one was in my hip, and took 3 MRI's before they figured out that's what it was. Long story short, if you like this doctor and trust them, I would believe them. My podiatrist was spot on every time, before any xrays or bone scans were done. Sometimes they just "know". Thank you for sharing your experience, Karen. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. Missing the Chicago Marathon sounds particularly painful!!!!!! Yes, I trust this doctor, so I'm going to listen to her advice. This morning I got the message that the x-ray was negative (no surprise, she said), and that we'll take more images in 4 weeks. She also said I need to rest it for 4 weeks, and then if I'm feeling no pain and the x-ray looks good, then I can start a run/walk program. I can also request a bone scan, if I'd like. Meh. I think I'll just rest it this month and then go from there. |

Wolf or Golf? Garmin calls it a Swolf score Number of secs per 25 yards plus stroke count Pretty much the same as swim golf. Swim golf is performed by swimming 50-yards, and recording your time, in seconds, and the total number of strokes it took. Take the sum of these two numbers, and that is your score. Like the sport of golf, the lower the score, the better. A score that is above 65, for taller athletes, and 75, for shorter athletes, is typically indicative of the need for work with balance drill sets, to improve streamlining. Your score of 70 (doubling the 35 for 25 yards) probably means you could benefit from some work on balance and streamlining. Have you ever done any balance drills in the water? I have not done any balance or streamlining drills please explain. I did 10x200's today and avgeraged 3:12 per 200 with 1 min rest in between. The good news is your fast already (so you have the stregnth). Addressing some small balance issues will add some free speed. The best way (I've found) to deal with balanace issues is with Total Immersion ("TI") drills. The general progression for balance is: Sweet Spot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnOI09mDoao Long Vessel Sweet Spot Zipper Skate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sc7IayRlds Single Swith / Double Switch / Triple Switch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhubEayA1Qk Usually the set will 2 x (2 x 50 yards of each drill at the beginning of a swim workout) What is a balance issue in swimming? I watched the videos But if I don't understand what I am trying to fix or what the drill is supposed to do I have problems doing it. |

Champion 9600 Fountain Hills, AZ | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 - CLOSED bulfrog - 2012-02-29 4:16 PM Ok, as you may know, I've had (and still do to some degree) calf issues. And I found something in one of the photos from my tri on the weekend that could explain it. Look at my foot on the ground in this picture, it looks to me like its trying to stick out the side of my shoe. That can't be right can it? As some background info, I have very flat feet (no arches at all to speak of) so need a shoe with quite a bit of support. The shoes were brought from a proper running store, where I walked over a pressure pad thing to analyse what I need. But I did get them not too long before I started having calf issues, and they are the first pair I've gotten from that shop. Also my dodgy calf is the right leg, not the left shown in photo, although I'd imagine that it's the same for both shoes... So, should I be going shoe shopping? Pornation and a pretty pronounced over strider. Need to work on that. |

Expert 1121 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 - CLOSED 90 minutes on the trainer this morning starting at 4:50am. Used the Lake Placid Course just to be able to see some scenery and spin the legs. I had PT appt today at 1:30. I now have a 4 week home exercise plan I can follow instead of having to got to PT every week. I am also continuing to have neck issues since the accident. Yesterday I couldn't even move my neck. That happens maybe once a week. So scheduled MRI next week. He thinks there are disc issues. I am hoping this accident related injuries end soon. Other than that, I am happy to be back. I may even be able to start doing breastroke as early as next week, no freestyle for a while. I am not even sure I know how to do the breaststroke correctly. |

Extreme Veteran 3020 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 - CLOSED Morning, all! Up this morning for an easy spin, and then I'll probably do some core work this afternoon. My swim video analysis is tomorrow morning, and I'm looking forward to it!!! I saw 139.5 on the scale this morning. It's the first time I've seen the 130s since Chicago Tri last summer. It must be all the stress. It would be nice if I could hold it here through the spring. Edited by jarvy01 2012-03-02 6:28 AM |

Expert 1121 | Subject: RE: kaburns1214 Mentor Group 2012 - CLOSED Good morning. 40 minutes on the treadmill this morning. Going to slowly build that run base again. Strength training at gym this afternoon. I'm following a Duathlon plan on here for now, until May anyway. Signed up for a new 5k next Sunday (March 11). 1:00 start. Corned beef snadwiches and free beer after. Edited by rizer22 2012-03-02 8:32 AM |
My fear is I won't be able to control the competitive side of me, and I'll want to sprint the darn thing, when in reality, I should just hold back since I am just starting to run again. I know what is going to happen when the gun goes off. Let's see how much control I have.| 2012-03-02 2:09 PM in reply to: #3943066 |
