So I woke up this morning with pain in the top of my foot, it only hurts when I put weight on it (like when I walk!). Yesterday was a rest day so not sure why it is hurting now. Anybody else ever have this? Hopefully, it will go away soon!
Had this happen to the top of my right foot the week before my 5K when I bruised the ankle bone. Doing the ankle excercises helped stretch it out and make it feel better. I also have high arches and the bones in the foot will pop out of joint (at least that's what it feels like to me) again stretching it out and doing ankle excercises makes that feel better too. If it keeps happening look up "ankle excercise for runners" on the internet and it will give some really good ones for helping both the top of the foot and/or ankle. Gmrgirl - I have very high arches as well - I will definately look up the exercises if the pain comes back. I was able to get out on the road for the first time in Wyoming! so excited! There was no wind (which is very unusual), but it was cold (around 35 degrees when I started). Here is what I wore: bike shorts, thermal tights, 2 ls tech shirts, 1 windstopper cycling jacket, wool socks, plastic wrap around toes, windstopper cleat covers, balaclava, and steves lobster claw mitts. I was just right, except toes were still cold. I havent ridden this route since last October, I am at least as strong as I was then - thank you trainer!. Wow! Life in Wyoming sure is different from Florida! |

Extreme Veteran 650 Sacramento, California | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED soccermom15 - 2011-04-11 1:40 PM Corncub - lots of positive vibes going out for Abbie! The TM sounds fun. I wish I could do speedwork without the resulting soreness - love the workouts, hate the next day, lol! So I think I figured out part of my troubles lately. I think like a runner, not like a triathlete - probably due to the fact that it's what I'm most comfortable at. When I schedule my workouts, I always start with the run - 2 easy runs, 1 speedwork or tempo run and 1 long run every week and then try to make my bike and swim workouts fit around those - and I don't put as much thought into those workouts as I should. It's usually more of "what do I feel like doing today" which mostly translates into easy workouts. I've been trying to follow a modified BT plan but it's a minutes-only plan. I've been trying to think a little more about my bike workouts and putting more effort into them (making them harder), but I'm still doing all of them inside on a stationary bike. I know I need to get outside now that the weather is better, I'm just having trouble doing it. I'd really like to start focusing more on my bike fitness since I feel like that's where I need the most work. I'm just going to have to change my mindset a little. If I want to continue to do triathlons, I need to start thinking more like a triathlete. It's great that you are reflecting and thinking about this. I know I did the same last year when I took up triathlons for the first time. Prior to that I just ran, usually 5 or 6 days a week. With triathlon, I had to cut that back and start focusing on the other sports. BT has some pretty good plans that do include more challenging and specific bike workouts. They've been very good for me. I've really improved over the last year b/c of them. Using a HR monitor has helped my measure the intensity of my workouts and have some targets to shoot for. I've found that reading up on things makes me focus more on it. So reading up on bike fitness, workouts, improving cadence, how to ride on hills, how to use HR monitor on a bike, etc helps me to get more interested in it and that translates into action. Enrique |

Veteran 240 Angola, IN | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED So I did not see anywhere on here where Maria had made a post about last night, although a few people already know. I was out on a long run, and she decided to do 15 mile bike ride. Towards the end of her ride, she was getting about 18 or 19 mph on her Tri-bike when a dog came out of nowhere and ran right into her front wheel (stupid dog owners suck). You know who lost that one..... We spent a couple of hours in the ER. End result was one stitch in her elbow, and some prescription pain killers. This morning she did not go to work (I think she may actually be milking it a little at this point) but if anyone has ever had a spill at that speed you know (as I do) how sore you are the next day. The main reason I want to tell everyone about this is because when she told me her head hurt, I asked to see the helmet. At first I could not find a single scratch on it. Upon a little further inspection I found a chunck the size of my fist missin from the area right behind the left ear. I am no doctor, but I know that at 19 mph - your head vs the pavement - the only way you win is if you are wearing your helmet. |

We really need to be careful out there on the road. The other day I came very close to getting a wheel stuck in a large crack in the pavement while going pretty fast. That would have been pretty bad. I had lost my focus for a little while and was just day dreaming. It's important to be aware of our surroundings, stay focused, and ride defensively. |

I'm sure they checked out her head at the ER... Loose dogs suck. My first thought is that three quarters of the world eat them, a fact I remind dogs that chase me or threaten me when I'm running - with or without their owners present. I also warn them that the smallest nip could result in having the dog put down. They act so shocked. Then as I ride or run along, I think to myself what the proper course would be - to put the owner down and get the dog into the care of someone who knows how to handle them.

Um...doesn't even have to be 19 mph...tip over at zero speed and you can do the same damage to your helmet/head (usually no scrapes though). I kept my cracked helmet from IMCdA for a while and showed it at a safety talk for the high school robotics team. Pretty poignant that the cracked helmet was the difference between my day ending at noon in an ambulance or at 7:38 at the finish line. Glad Maria is ok! |

). Ended up with a large scrape on my left knee that took forever to heal and left a pretty good scar. I have to admit, I think it's part of the reason I'm a little wary about getting on my bike this year.| 2011-04-13 12:17 PM in reply to: #3443534 |

Miami has a hideous accident on a regular basis. I was riding with a friend last night, and it was great...but there was a lot of traffic. She said "you'll get used to it". I don't think so and I don't ever want to take that sort of cavalier attitude. I will not be riding in that kind of traffic again, and I hope I continue to embrace a healthy amount of fear when it comes to riding my bike. |

He showed the dog owner my helmet & told him about the hospital visit. He let him know that we have insurance, but have a deductable that we expect them to pay a portion of & a helmet that they need to replace. He told them that he thought that was only fair since they were the dog owners. Josh let them know that there are no hard feelings. Josh said that the guy seemed to take it well.

Expert 961 Illinois _ Chicago area | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED Hi all, Haven't checked in for awhile. It's been a hellish week and I'm glad it's over. Just a little update on the running. Well, against all sane advice I decided to run the half marathon in St. Louis. To my credit, as soon as we arrived at the expo I went and exchanged my marathon registration for the half because I know me and me can be pretty stubborn (read: stupid) sometimes when it comes to running. I knew if I didn't I would be tempted to be really stupid. Instead I was only half stupid. I ran the 5k with my husband on Sat just to test out the leg. Felt ok. So.... The half and full run at the same time. At mile 10 the half marathoners turn back and the full keep going. I the run with one of my friends who was running the marathon. It was pretty hot in St. Louis last weekend. 70 degrees at 6 am race day. Due to the heat and some other factors my friend decided to do the half instead of the full, so we ran the whole thing together. Now, my run did include some walk breaks, esp after mile 11. Finished at 2:08:53. Not too bad given the fact that I hadn't been running for the past 8 weeks. Now the hard part was coming clean to my PT. But the good thing is I didn't set myself back. And now, I promise to be good and listen to my PT. |

Master 1343 Minneapolis, Minnesota | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED The accidents tend to happen to people riding alone, I've noticed. Particularly the deaths. The driver does a hit and run and the cyclist is left there. I'm also getting a smaller cell phone so I can have it with me. Anybody else feel like an outer-space creature with all the STUFF strapped aboard? Heart rate strap and giant gps watch, road ID, fuel belt, compression socks...it's a wonder I can move at all! And it's hot down here now... so it all feels rather constricting. Another first.. I canceled my golf tournament this weekend so I can run.  I have a 37 week marathon training schedule worked out. I'd like to rung the ING Miami in January. I still need a new sprint tri...maybe in august.. to be my first. Cycling seems to be the hardest thing on the sore foot. Most annoying.

Master 7712 Orlando | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED stephsprint - 2011-04-16 5:41 AM The accidents tend to happen to people riding alone, I've noticed. Particularly the deaths. The driver does a hit and run and the cyclist is left there. I'm also getting a smaller cell phone so I can have it with me. Anybody else feel like an outer-space creature with all the STUFF strapped aboard? Heart rate strap and giant gps watch, road ID, fuel belt, compression socks...it's a wonder I can move at all! And it's hot down here now... so it all feels rather constricting. Another first.. I canceled my golf tournament this weekend so I can run. I have a 37 week marathon training schedule worked out. I'd like to rung the ING Miami in January. I still need a new sprint tri...maybe in august.. to be my first. Cycling seems to be the hardest thing on the sore foot. Most annoying. SueZ - NICE RUN!!!!!! good choices too, it's like crack I'm sure. just a nibble.....You run in compression socks in Florida! I don't know how you do it - i'm always trying to figure out what else I can take off without being arrested for indecent exposure! If you're looking for a nice sprint tri in Miami in August you should consider the Huntington's Disease Tr. I think it is Aug. 1 this year. It is on Key Biscayne. I did it last year, it is a nice race and all proceeds go to fight the disease. If that doesn't work for you check out the multirace website. I've done a few of their races too (and will do more this year), they are very well run and are also on Key Biscayne. Happy weekend everyone!

Master 7712 Orlando | Subject: RE: McFuzz's Mentor Group 2011 - CLOSED I've got a question for the biking McFuzzies - what do you do for nutrition on the bike? I've got a 2 hr ride followed by a 40 minute run on the agenda for tomorrow and I think it may be time for more than just water on the bike. So, when do you start looking at taking in calories and what form do those calories take?

Ann-Marie Two hours I usually have just water, but I also carry some nutrition with me just in case. I'll pack snack crackers, breakfast bars, granola bars, a bag of almonds, banana chips, sometimes a banana. I've carried PB&J and Payday candy bars. I do the occasional gel or powerbar and at 3 hours usually take a bottle of gatorade and a bottle of water. |
