Subject: RE: RW Run Challenge: Thanksgiving-New Year's Daycopa2251 - 2011-12-24 5:45 PM Christmas day already here in Australia! My longish run yesterday was in my NB Minimus trail shoes and I had no pain in my knees following it. I've battled with ITBS for years and had reached a point where I kept on top of it with motion control shoes, an insole in my right shoe and foam rolling. I'm really hoping my barefoot and minimalist shoes will be my answer, so far it's looking like it is! Merry Christmas to you already, and to everyone else in a few hours. My everyday shoes are minimalist -- the Merrill Pace Glove. I love them, but I don't run much in them. I have a pair of Saucony something or other -- not the super fancy ones -- maybe Pro Grid? Anyway -- I got sick yesterday at about noon, while touring an orange grove. I still ran a mile this morning, but that's really all I could handle. I'm feeling a little better this evening, but my throat really only feels fine if I'm drinking something hot -- so I've been drinking a lot of hot water with honey and fresh lemon in it. We have only a week to go on the streak. Even with some of our setbacks, we've done a great job keeping this going. |
