Yep, this was this time last year! Infrequently, but weirdly enough this issue just kicked in again and so now I'm working on solving it. So far, it's being diagnosed as a sartorius strain. Unusual,...

I'm sure you saw the link that Zen provided- your tensor fasciae latae is a small muscle that feeds into a broad sheet of connective tissue (iliotibial band) that runs down the outside of your leg...

Well, I'm not YET a PT, just in the process of becoming one... but my vote would be to get in and have your hip assessed. Pain that occurs while you are NOT moving is usually an indicator to get...

Bullitgirl: If it makes you feel better, I DID eventually recover! The only thing is, I can't carry a messenger bag on that shoulder or it twinges in the original injury location. However, I probably...

Is this now the 26th/27th? Cause if so, I may be able to come! The weekend before is the Seafair Tri.

Oh, you mean like the time I wrote a paper about relative plate motions for a geology class in college, and the dang spell-checker changed every "subduction zone" to "seduction zone" and "orogeny" to...

Well, my mountain bike is a k2 WSD, and I like it pretty well. I didn't select it initially (I work for a biiiiig outdoor retail company and got it when a customer returned it, as we can't resell...

Hey- I was there too! Only I was standing around in that ubiquitous green vest trying to answer questions about "open-water swim goggles" when they let y'all out of the seminar.

Good grief. My...

I was lucky enough to get to participate in a one-day-a week program as a child (we moved to the state too late for me to get into the full-time program), and I can honestly say it pretty much saved...

I admit, I am one of those annoying spelling front-seat drivers.

Most minor spelling and grammar issues I can ignore, save one: the unnecessary apostrophe that gets thrown into words that are...

I never really assumed or noticed that anyone was getting political around here. And, if we did, I'm sure that it would be pretty respectful. I tend to think tough or contentious topics are okay to...

As a kid, my true undying love was reading and literature- I would (and still do) read anything I could get my hands on. I was able to pick language skills up rapidly and independently, and my...

My two cents on the Ibex running shorts- THEY RULE!

And I have never previously worn tight shorts to run in, so for me to love these really says a lot!

No creep issues what-so-ever- these...

5'8- ride a Cannondale WSD, R-series, frame size 56. Men's bikes do not even come close to fitting me- the top tube is too long.

After some trial and error, I've found that the Zoot wetsuits fit me pretty well- I have had some issues given that my height (5'8) puts me in their "large" category, but my weight puts me somewhere...

I met some of the Ibex folks today at work! Very nice people, and all dressed up in Shaks. :) One of the women's designers was there, and she has the same body type I do (tall, short torso, long...

I am also considering the "running commute" on weekends that I work, because the traverse is over such a hilly neighborhood that I'd probably be faster on foot than bike- and safer too, with traffic....

Well, I WAS a professional geologist, before ditching that to follow the physical therapy profession instead. I still have an unabating love for geology, just not the typical jobs available these...

Oh, but there are so many more lovely categories! I don't know about you, but I've done variations on all of the following (sometimes in the same race or outing): sprinting, shuffling, trundling,...

Eh, sleep naked! Much warmer that way, strangely enough. :confused: Although I do adore sleeping in well-worn flannel boxers.

Oh, and it's "PJs"..... instead of "PJ's"...

Ohhh, Knott- I'm feeling a little guilty now- like I did this to you! Not that owning a Pingo is terrible- in fact it's anything but! What color did you get? Can I mention that I SLEPT in mine the...

So, status of my appearance is a little shaky (everything is fine but schedule is hard to figure out), but I'm betting I'll still be there. Knott, I think I still have your #.

Erm, I may have missed this, but what time are we meeting?

And why am I about to go RUNNING IN THE SNOW FALLING FROM THE SKY?

I'm not questioning the running.... but the snow? :D

Congrats! I told ya the only-slightly-used get-into-grad-school karma was still good! ;)

Of course, I'm sure your natural brilliance had something to do with it.

I know one- he and his wife are both PTs as well. I'll pm you the info.
