Thank you, everyone, for the hugs and kind words. Tough day ahead, but ... Well, no but. It just is what it is.
Ran a 5K on the TM this morning. Felt alright, although last night's fajitas, 'ritas and queso definitely made it a bit more taxing than it should've been. But I finished without stopping to walk for the second time now. And that felt pretty darn good.

@Orphia Thanks for the advice. I've actually only ever taken BC only for a few months, back, like 24 or so years ago? lol I was hit on both sides of my family with the "migraine gene", my maternal grandmother had them her whole life, & my father & his father had them (they went dormant for them). My brother has them too, as well as 1 of my sons. It's a delight!

Today's run was interesting! I've backed up the CT10K to week 4 to get "control" again. This morning is Week 4, run 3. Last night, I did the mental thing "ahh, just chill. You aren't running to impress anyone, who's gonna know"..." and all the other "reasons" why I "shouldn't" run. So, I woke up, got in my running gear & laced up. Got home, looked at the Nike data...almost fell over! I did a negative split. Not only that, but in the run parts, I saw that I was running in my goal pace...no, beyond...make that way beyond! See, I was running in the low 12's aiming for the 11's before all my foot surgeries. Now I'm trying to get back to the 12's. Today, I was in the 12's, some 11's..and a few times hit the 10's!
See what happens when you don't listen to yourself?

Completed my 3rd 5k with a new PR of 35:35. i probably could have gotten it under 35 but i had to stop and tie my shoe at mile 2. Im so close to making my goal for this month but yet it still seems so far away. Might have to sign up for a 10k tomorrow for that extra push to meet my goal.

Does anyone have the link for the video on doing the lace lock when tying your shoes? I know it was posted a while back, but I just can't seem to find it. I thought someone on here might have it handy.0

Not sure if this would be the exact link, but it may suffice.

Google "heel lock lacing" and you should find lots of info.4 -

We need to hear more of that story, @PastorVincent.
*shrugs*
Not a very exciting story... just have a hole in my spine and all that. So what happens is my hip is not stable, and it shifts to pinch the syntactic nerve - which pretty much shuts down my leg in a very painful way. Part of the reason I run, and run hills, is because it is only my muscles that are holding the hip in place. The spine is not doing its job due to the hole. Blah blah blah and all that
Someday it may stop me, but for now, a very cool PT helped me learn to cope and I can walk.... and RUN!
Before that 6 months of PT there were days I could not walk unassisted. I have to do what the PT taught me multiple times a day, but it is a small price to pay for the ability to walk.
So, yeah, we all have our own challenges to overcome, what matters is that you keep going despite them.

Long run today was pretty good. A bit chilly with the wind off the lake, but sure beats negative temps. There was a nice sunrise that I glimpsed on the way (those early runners saw a great one over the lake) and the sun was out for most of it. Got home and took the dog out for a long walk because the rain is coming. Now my legs are feeling a little jello-like and it's time for lunch and nap - the best time of the week is here!4 -

Today's notes: Assignment was 3 hours easy pace trail run. Went to hit the Ridge XC trails. This is pretty much taking it easy. After Hill Repeats on Tuesday and my 2x3mile pace run yesterday, I figured I should make my "easy" long run easy. I ended up getting in 14 miles in just over 3 hours. Still pretty tired, but that's par for the course for me. On a side note, I made my monthly goal. Not sure how much more I'll get this month, with only 3 more running days.
Have a Runderful day!

Thanks for posting this! I'm definitely a "glider" and it's nice to know I'm not just terrible at running! I think in my case it was a natural adaptation for putting less pressure on my knee, which doesn't like impact from big air time.0 -

Today's notes – Temperature 45º F (7º C) and wind nowhere near as strong as advertised made great running weather at 7:30 this morning. I had decided to DNS the 10 AM race in favor of pacing 5 or 8 miles at 8:00 per mile for the training program. They had added several new pacers, so we had two pacers on 8:00, two on 8:30, the regular 7:30 pacer who typically runs with the 8:00 group for lack of runners to pace, and the 7:30/8:00/8:30 sub all showed up. As the regular 8:30 guy observed, we set out with 6 pacers and 2 runners.
My hurt quad let me run, but it felt better if I ran to how it felt instead of trying to hold an accurate pace. Within the first mile, the 8:30 pacers were running 8:00 with the 7:30 guy and the new 8:00 pacer; I dropped back with the sub for a guy who started out at 8:00 and decided early he was only up to 8:30. The guy who ought to be running 9:00 spent most of the first 5 miles ahead of us but behind the 8:00 group.
Along about mile 3 or 4, I tripped over an uneven sidewalk. Caught myself on my hands and knees, and when asked I told the group I didn't think I'd hurt anything any worse than it already was. Didn't make the quad any worse, but I picked up some scrapes on my knees and a minor scrape on one hand. And I tore a hole in my favorite running gloves.
The sub is a much better 8:30 pacer than I am, and letting him set the pace really helped my quad. I felt good enough after 5 miles to go out for another 3, and the 8:00 group was just setting out after regrouping when we pulled in. The guy with us decided he was done at 5 miles, and the sub stayed to run with the guy we're trying to slow down. I set out with the 8:00 group; and I couldn't hold the pace without making my quad hurt worse. So I let them drop me, and ran solo as they slowly receded into the foreground.
Around mile 6 I knew that running 2 more miles was a bad idea, so I ran back to base the shortest way and ended up with 6.76 miles. Stretched, rolled, and my quad felt fine. Going down stairs at home, the quad didn't bother me as much as the opposite knee, which only has the minor bump from tripping.
The store didn't have the same kind of running gloves, so I went hunting online. The closest thing I could find was a bit pricey on Amazon, but I found a pair reasonably priced on ebay. That should get here next week, and meanwhile I'll just wear other gloves. I don't have as many gloves as shoes, but it's not a total disaster if I lose one pair.

I am definitely a glider, and I was taught to be one back in high school many decades ago. Never heard it called that before someone mentioned it to me on Facebook the other day. To me, it was always "the right way to run distance" which was different from "the right way to run fast" 2 -
Warmer weather, with only a slight threat of rain, meant that rather than planning a run for tonight, I went for one last night instead. I plotted out a new half marathon path that had plenty of options to shorten the route at multiple points, and set out. I also wore a much tighter compression sleeve, and as it was pressing down on the injury point, it meant that every now and again I thought I could feel something in my shin. It was a little alarming, but forced me to take things even steadier than I have been. My shin felt completely fine once I took the sleeve off, and it continues to feel fine now. Still, today and tomorrow are rest days, and Monday will be a walking-only day, so as to continue to give it its healing time.
And finally running a half, no matter how slowly, has been a huge psychological boost to me during my recovery.

@sarahthes – love your snow pictures but goodness the pictures of the little one was hilarious!
@Orphia What beautiful scenery you had at our parkrun!
@MobyCarp – Glad you didn’t hurt your quad in the fall. Pity about the gloves.
@garygse – congratulations on the half!
I also ran 13.1 miles today. Weather was a nice 35F when we started out at 6:00 am. Hit some hilly streets for the first 7 miles. I’m 10 miles from my monthly goal but I have a few days to still make it.

Yesterday I had a great run. I ran a bit later than I usually do. I had to help my daughter set up her ‘wax museum table’. She dressed up as a continental soldier and was Deborah Sampson. As people visited the ‘wax museum’ (school library) she had to recite her book report on Deborah Sampson. Ahhh 3rd grade...
Anyway after that I went to the dentist and decided to run a 5 mile loop around the dentist office. Felt great and my pace was just under 9min/mi!
Today was my long run and it was horrible. The weather was beautiful but I could tell shortly after heading out it wasn’t going to be good. My legs felt heavy and I never loosened up. I managed to finish without walking but by the time I finished my legs were toast and my upper body was tight and tense. My arms actually felt sore! My stomach was feeling pretty awful by the end too. I’m chalking it up to a bad run day!
I was seriously annoyed at an intersection. I hit the cross street button, waited patiently for the sign to say walk, and all these cars turning wouldn’t let me go even though I was waiting in the crosswalk! By the time I could go I only had 9 seconds to cross 6 lanes.

Congratulations! I heard it was a wet day for it.2 -
@Orphia - it will be tomorrow. My garmin is with my luggage. Won’t be home till past midnight here. But I was the 5:10 pacer and I nailed it: 5:09:13. Had a blast. But I’ll say that running 5 hours is hard! My legs were cramping and more sore than my normal 4:05 marathon.9

How is there a hole in your spine? Like spina bifida? Or meaning where the nerve root exits it is compressed, like stenosis or an extrusion? Sounds horrible. Is it not operable?
Nerve compression will cause permanent damage. I have it in my left from entrapment at the piriformis level, not spinal. I hope yours never becomes a serious problem. You Google cauda equina syndrome? Yikes! Best wishes man.0 -

Not a very exciting story... just have a hole in my spine and all that. So what happens is my hip is not stable, and it shifts to pinch the syntactic nerve - which pretty much shuts down my leg in a very painful way. Part of the reason I run, and run hills, is because it is only my muscles that are holding the hip in place. The spine is not doing its job due to the hole. Blah blah blah and all that
Someday it may stop me, but for now, a very cool PT helped me learn to cope and I can walk.... and RUN! Before that 6 months of PT there were days I could not walk unassisted. I have to do what the PT taught me multiple times a day, but it is a small price to pay for the ability to walk.
So, yeah, we all have our own challenges to overcome, what matters is that you keep going despite them.
How is there a hole in your spine? Like spina bifida? Or meaning where the nerve root exits it is compressed, like stenosis or an extrusion? Sounds horrible. Is it not operable?
Nerve compression will cause permanent damage. I have it in my left from entrapment at the piriformis level, not spinal. I hope yours never becomes a serious problem. You Google cauda equina syndrome? Yikes! Best wishes man.
I was born with it is the doctors' guess, but it was not detected then. It was not found until I was in my adult years and stumbling around trying to walk. It is an actual hole you can see in an X-Ray. Yeah, like Spina Bifida - it is a hole in the bone itself.
The only surgery they could do would involve fusing the spine. Like my need for a pacemaker, my goal is to outlive that answer and have better tech available, maybe regrown the bone? I dunno. Something HAS to be better than fusing the spine, thank you very much.
People in this thread often talking about getting out to run because they want to. They talk about the joy it brings them or the sense of accomplishment. They talk about how good the fresh air is, or runner's high. They talk about it lifting their mood, or helping them with stress. They talk about connecting with nature. Some even talk about the competition and wanting to win. Everyone has their reasons.
Me? I run to survive. Plan and simple.
The goals and stuff I post are more to keep me focused. If I never win a race, that is fine - because every day I walk, and every beat my heart takes is a victory.
Anyways enough sappy stuff...14
