    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.

    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.

    Sorry you're hurting, Wahine. You have a great attitude, though. And at least it's just the one area, and not all over. Amazing considering all your running lately!

    Hope you'll be healed up and back to it soon....

    Yes, seriously, heal that puppy up, the walking wounded group does not have a month selected for tibialis posterior...it does not really roll off the tongue like...shoulder month, or knee month.....

    Day 6 no running, unless you want to count the short little jaunt on the treadmill on the weekend for my course which I suppose I should since it managed to flare things up nicely.... OK, Day 3 no running or hopping/skipping/jumping (yes I do these things, sometimes spontaneously for no reason at all).

    Right lower leg is no longer feeling like it might explode at any moment. It still feels that way first thing in the morning but at least I can walk now without having to stop periodically and practice some Lamaz (?sp) breathing.

    I might even be ready to go for a massage.
