Now go have a beer.

Or two!

Thanks Ladies. And RnR - you're exactly right, this was the point. To find my true physical limit, not emotional or mental or time availability limits. I reminded myself of that a lot yesterday. Today my legs still hurt which confirms the wiseness (?word) of the break.

V. - Here's and update. I'm booooooorrrrrrrred.

[Veronica]

Could you tell me a little more about that boredom please? I need some details.

I hear that beer is good for bored.....oh too early in the day for you West Coasters...well even for us too, I guess.

I prefer to call it naturopathic Ridilin or Advil, depending on the situation.

Unfortunately, you're right. I could lose my PT license if I start now.

In my part of the West Coast, it's "too early" for beer for a long time and then it's too late because everyone's gone to bed 'cause they run at 8 the next morning!!

New update - It's beer:30 where I live right now.

[kelownagirl]

Um, beer thir6y is = 12:30 at my house.

Or as we often say - 'it's after noon somewhere...'

Is 8 a.m. considered early in your neck o the woods?

I've usually had my workout and looking forward to second breakfast by 8 a.m.

8am is definitely early in my neck of the woods.

Round these parts we call it Beer O'Clock...or wine o'clock.....

Latest update: I'm not so bored because I did a really interesting course on running biomechanics this weekend. I still hurt like h e double L. I am officially resigning myself to using the word injured. I got analyzed to death this weekend and I was too sore while I was running on the treadmill to hear or remember any of the analysis. That's OK, I've got it sorted out. A) active rest until pain is gone. This includes some nice little exercises and drills I learned to address my biomechanical faults. B) Respect the things I learned about myself through all of this when I start training again. C) No big mileage until I can reach certain benchmarks with my exercises.

What hurts, besides everything...but knee, hip, ?????

[Wahine]

I guess I didn't really talk abut this too much because I was in denial. But I'm having issues with my inner, lower leg. The muscle at fault is my tibialis posterior and it's screaming at me. This muscle pulls the arch of the foot up and helps to lock the mid foot into a rigid position for toe off. It's been seriously abused in the last little while, not just from mileage but from my footwear actually holding my rearfoot too stiff. The muscle has been working against my shoe. Everything else is fine. Butt's fine, knees are fine, low back is fine, hips... fine. So my "new" as of last year running form is great for a lot of my old problems but I didn't realize that I needed a shoe change to allow more motion in my foot prior to push off. Now I do. Anyway, I still hurt like h3ll this AM.

Uh oh...

Be gentle please. We need you to keep running! But we can hold on for a few days.
