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, ?????
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.![]()
Yeah, no worries. I've set some specific benchmarks for myself before I will start running again. I've got to sort this out first or I'll just keep messing it up.
I am really pleased that my hips are fine though. I've often had problems with them, so I'm really happy about that.![]()
