Expert  1580    Ankeny, Iowa |  Subject: RE: Team 3 - June ChallengeHey Team - Well I went to see the doctor this morning. When I woke up this morning I couldn't lift my left arm above my shoulder and I couldn't look left or right without pain. Yay I thought - the pain is still here so I can work with the doctor. She was cool. It appears that two weeks ago when I got bit in the head by a wasp and I swung at him that I screwed up something with my Trapezius muscle in the shoulder/back. Apparently I have quite the strain and knot in that muscle that is causing my neck/shoulder/back pain. It hasn't effected the actual shoulder yet but I am now on muscle relaxers 4x a day, pain meds 3x a day, and some in home PT/stretching for two weeks to see if we can work it out (which works since I will be out of town for work for the two weeks). When I asked her about running she told me if it hurt to do it to NOT do it. For the next few days she doesn't want me doing anything more than the light stretching and heating pads on it. So running is out for a few days. I will try to adjust my run goal for the challenge since it seems I can do some core work and lower body strength and then my bikes on the trainer yet where I can sit up and pedal at least. Could be worse - now to just listen to the doc and no running through the weekend at least.  but I need to get better since if I don't fix this now it can get much worse.Dee - Can I adjust my run mileage to account for being out of the run for at least the next few days (Sunday) - then my next run isn't til wed and I can see how I am doing then? Thanks, Stacie |

Champion 23360 Taser-World | Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challenge dimplespoo - 2010-06-12 7:32 AM Did I kill our thread? No Posts in almost a day? Anyone? Anyone? Well, more likely, it's just that it's summertime, and people are outside.  "Thread Posting Records" usually occur when the weather is cold, when people are indoors. Of course, I could threaten to taser people who don't post a lot. That might help 'motivate' everyone. |

Master 1641 Seattle, California | Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challenge Sorry everyone it's been a while since I checked in. Sitting at about 80k of 175k for the month in my running which is my only goal. I rolled my ankle on a trail run today and ended up walking a good portion of the way back. Once I hit the road I was able to jog it in though. I think I will have to stay off the trails for a good week or 2 though. Hopefully running on the road wont be a problem. |

| Extreme Veteran 494 Morris County, NJ | Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challenge Rode 65 miles today--my longest ride in a while. It hurt a little more than I planned, and I definitely do not feel I could run a half marathon right now. I need to get more miles in the saddle before my HIM. Hope everyone is training well. |

Expert 1202 Montana | Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challenge Travelled to Butte (60 miles) on Monday, Missoula (2 1/2 hours) on Wednesday, went on a hike with our 4-H club on thursday, and got my daughters packed for their D.C. trip and left for a race on Friday. I've been a little busy. However, today I ran the Governor's Cup 10k, and then ran the 5k with my niece. That was enough! I want to go to bed, but it is only 9 p.m. Ugh, I just don't feel good. Hopefully I'll have a good week of training this coming week! Edited by Shoeless 2010-06-12 10:14 PM |

Champion 10742 Ames, IA | Subject: RE: Team 3 - June Challenge My HIM went great yesterday. It was cool (60s) and rained once I got on the run course, but I managed to set a 10 minute PR, finishing in 4:51:08. This was my 4th HIM and I finally managed to have a good run. That made all the difference. |

Thanks, Stacie Yikes, scary stuff, Stacie! Hope the meds/PT does the trick for you! Thanks Neal - so far the meds/PT is working. It is amazing the progress in just two days on the meds. I am on the muscle relaxers 2x a day - It just seems a lot to take them 3x a day and it is still working. Still some minor pain but nothing compared to what it was on friday. Traveling to AK today and it seems the airports won't be bad after all. I was really worried how they would go with a bad shoulder/pain. |
