Just got back from The Orthopedic Center about my pain in my butt cheek (LOL). Didn't get quite the answers I expected - I figured it was a muscle thing a little PT and I'd be good for go. Seems I have a compressed disc in my back that they believe is pressing on my sciatic nerve. I didn't see the "spine guy" I saw his assistant and she was surprised I was having no pain in my back at all. She was impressed with the muscle strength in my legs (thank you running) and said that was great. They are making me an appointment for an MRI and then they will know more. She wanted to know if I had any questions, I told her no I'd wait until they knew everything before playing "what if" with her. I told her I had a HM to train for and she smiled and said "then let's get you fixed". She also said NO RUNNING until at least the next time I see them and we know more. She said I can exercise if it's low impact and doesn't hurt. Thanks for all your support folks!
Anyone have any similar so you can tell me "been there, done that ran a marathon last week".
oh no! I hope it isn't too serious and you are back up and running in no time!0 -

I'm looking at all these people who've run 100+ miles already - I feel like a slacker!

I was looking at people's tickers that showed hundreds of miles for the month. I figured that HAD to be a typo....nope, they're just that awesome. 0 -
You are not a slacker!!! We all started running less than you're running now. Be persistent and conservatively add more miles as you are able, you'll be surprised what you are capable of.corinne0805 wrote: »I'm looking at all these people who've run 100+ miles already - I feel like a slacker!
Also a little bit of crazy helps

I know it's not what you were expecting to hear but hang in there! Let them figure out exactly what is wrong and an approach to get it fixed. I like her response to your HM comment! She is thinking in the right direction! How long before you go back to see them?0 -

Jan 19- 4.5 - one sore calf from biking, but not too bad
Jan 20 - strength training
Jan 21 - Rest day. Don’t want to, but going to take a day or two off, per trainer’s suggestion. Left calf is very sore. Rather rest a couple days than have to stop for weeks. Once I get to walking around it doesn't hurt, but when I've been sitting or resting and then go to move, it is painful. Probably should have taken the day off after the big bike ride.
