    @girlinahat and @Elise4270 I love the shirt! And I was just thinking this morning about whether we ever decided to do a virtual group run this year. I could have easily missed something as quickly as these threads move. LOL I think the "hug a runner" challenge sounds like a good idea.

    @Avidkeo I have new x rays. He was very pleased with the bone growth. I think the articulation of the hip look much better than it had. I’m hoping that alleviates my torn labrum pain.

    @Avidkeo if I could pick your brain... is it just me, or is Shenton’s line disrupted by the femoral head? The doc mentioned the acetabulum was, uh a possible surgical fix. don’t think we went into that and I am unclear if he was talking about the other side, which also could be a candidate for the same surgery to help the sciatic impingement by the piriformis. (I’m seriously hoping this is it).
    The left appears to have a normal mckibbins index, +31(acetabular version +14 (+14, 0), femoral +17 (+14,+3) the right (rod side) before surgery, +55 (AV +18 (+17,+1), FV +37 (+27,+10). FV should be +15 post op).

    I should really go study for my muscle practical and leave my X-rays alone... ohhh I have the mri cd... hehe! Oh that’s the left not the right, rod side. I have a follow with with both surgeons in a month, i like to get a once over before I see them so I follow and ask better questions. Dh wants me to look at PA school. Meh.. uh Physician Assistant, idk if you have that title there down under. Is New Zealand still “down under”?

    Muscles. Go study.

    @elise4270 it's hard to say cause about Shentons line cause it follows the bottom of the femoral neck and head, into the public ramai and they are masked by the shielding. From what I can see it looks normal. Never heard of mckibbins index! Cant say I've ever heard of a physicians assistant but it might be another name or done by nurses. And yeah technically we are "down under" though that's almost always just used to reference Australia.

    Morning all!

    ANZAC day here - I guess the equivalent of veterans day. Have come to the city to go to the movies (avengers, woo hoo) and stayed the night last night in a hotel. Across the road is the Hatea Loop - a shared walking/running/biking track around the river in the centre of the city. Its 4.35kms to do the loop, so I did it 3 times to get 12km run in this morning. It's basically just flat so a nice easy run. Total for the month 141/150!

    I'm going tonight and am super excited. I'm a giant nerd and it cracks me up that the stuff I was teased for loving as a kid has completely taken over pop culture now.

    I am 300 posts behind. I have been running/tapering but not recording here.

    I am starting to have SERIOUS panicky doubts about next weekend. I don't know if I have 2 marathons in me. I seriously overestimated my abilities in signing up for this. Someone tell me this is not going to kill me. Ugh.

    Upcoming Races:
    5/4 = Wisconsin Marathon (Mittens Challenge Part 1)
    5/5 = Kalamazoo Marathon (Mittens Challenge Part 2)
    6/15 = Fit Foodie 5k

    You can and will do this, and it will not kill you!

    UGH! I am such an old-fart. I pulled a muscle SLEEPING. AGAIN. No run for a day or three probably. Good thing I am not training for a Marathon followed by a 50k, right? #grumble

    A thought: when I complained to my osteopath about sleeping injuries, he told me that this was almost impossible, bar falling out of bed, and instead I had been injured earlier (accident or overuse) and the night’s sleep had just exacerbated it. You may want to find out what’s really going on.

    Well, my original goal in March was 80 miles and I ended the month with 101 miles. I'd like to be in for 100 miles again as goal #1 with a stretch goal of 110 miles for goal #2.

    We shall see!

    April 1 - 5 miles

    Miles until Goal # 1 - 95 miles
    Miles until Goal #2 - 105 miles

    April 3 - 3.3 miles. Did some speed work and felt really good.

    Miles until Goal #1 - 91.7 miles
    Miles until Goal #2 - 101.7 miles

    April 5 - 3.1 miles
    April 6 - 13.1 miles
    =16.2 miles

    Miles until goal #1 = 75.5 miles
    Miles until goal #2 = 85.5 miles

    I wanted to see how a few miles felt on drained legs after yesterday's half marathon. The first mile was rough as I worked through some tightness and stiffness, but felt great after that.

    April 7 - 3.3 miles

    27.8 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) = 72.2 miles
    Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) = 82.2 miles

    April 9 - 3 miles of speed work
    April 10 - 3.16 miles
    = 6.16 miles

    33.96 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 66.04 miles
    Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 76.04 miles

    April 11 - 5 miles

    38.96 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 - 61.04 miles
    Miles until goal #2 - 71.04 miles

    April 13 - 9.06 miles

    48.02 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 51.98 miles
    Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 61.98 miles


    April 14 - 8 miles

    56.02 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 43.98 miles
    Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 53.98 miles

    April 16 - 3 miles

    59.06 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 40.98 miles
    Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 50.98 miles

    Have a 5K on Saturday that I'm running for time, so keeping the mileage a bit lower this week. Still planning on busting out at least 10 miles on Sunday.

    UGH! This whole "keep the mileage low so you can race Saturday" sucks. Did a little speed work last night just for the heck of it.

    April 17 - 3 miles

    62.06 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 37.98 miles
    Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 47.98 miles

    FINALLY after 4 long years of not PR'ing any race distance, it happened today. Wasn't even trying for it, just naturally happened. Old 5K PR was 26:17, new is 25:58.

    April 19 - 4 miles
    April 20 - 3.11miles

    69.17 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 30.83 miles
    Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 40.83 miles

    April 21 - 7 miles

    76.17 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 23.83 miles
    Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 33.83 miles

    Decided to try some slow miles tonight. Ouch. Should have waited until tomorrow.

    April 22 - 4 miles

    80.17 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 19.83 miles
    Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 29.83 miles

    April 24 -5 miles of speed work

    85.17 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 14.83 miles
    Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 24.83 miles

    I know I'll get the first goal.....#2 is going to be a stretch. We shall see!

    April 25 - 4 miles

    89.17 miles for the month

    Miles until goal #1 (100 miles) - 10.83 miles
    Miles until goal #2 (110 miles) - 20.83 miles

    I have to say, this is totally true! Had a personal training session last night and she had me do some exercise where I was supposed to fold over and put my hands on the floor. Well, my hamstrings are always tight from running. We both got a good laugh when I could only reach my shins. Something to work on.

    Eating and drinking my way through Portland. We'll call it carb loading.

    Some highlights were Chinese black tea and steam buns at the Chinese garden, pork belly bahn mi sandwich, Deschutes brewery, Burmese glass noodle soup, creme brulee cream donut with a shot of Cointreau INside the donut, and beignets. All topped off by a $28 pour of a hard to find bourbon.

    Not bad for the first day here.

    Jealous of the bourbon!! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
