Spring Previews - February 25th to March 2nd Runs

[Wahine]

Did 4.5 on the treadmill last night. Wasn't bad after 3 but the first 3 were a nightmare. Does anyone else feel like it takes FOREVER to get a good warm-up before you start feeling like you're in your groove?

Yes. That's why it's so great to run straight off the bike, you're already warm.

[Tiffany]

Yes. That's why it's so great to run straight off the bike, you're already warm.

I can't wait to start doing that. I've been going straight from spin class to the treadmill at the gym but I know it's not the same. Looking forward to my first tri this year.

[Wahine]

Tiffany, you are warm when you get off the bike but it doesn't feel good. That was a bit tongue in cheek.

I ran about 4.5 miles at lunch. Plugging away.

I've been getting an increasing amount of pain in the top of my foot since getting orthotics so I took them out until I get can in for another adjustment. Trouble is, the irritation is already there and now my foot is really hurting when I run (or walk or limp...) in any shoes. I tried to go for my run today but just couldn't hack it. Had to pack in after only 14 minutes. Now I'm really PO'd. I really don't need this on top of the shin p;ain which I've been managing to work though. Argh. #$@%$#&^#%^%$@

Oh KG, I am so sorry and I sooooo feel your pain. Trust me. I hope you get it all sorted out really soon.

OK runner girlies...I am trying a 20 min walk/jog on the threadmill tomorrow. First in 8 weeks since I have been injured. Keep your fingers crossed and send some good karma my way at approximately 3:30 pm EST...

[Grog]

Oh KG that really sucks. I hope you can get it figured out... and make it HEAL!

RnRgirl, how was your run?

[Wahine]

KG -That stinks. Does your PT do manual therapy? Have they messed around with the bones in your foot to make sure that something isn't stuck and not moving properly? That can happen, even with people who have generally too flexible feet.
