November 2021 Monthly Running Challenge

Teresa502

No run for me today. I finished the month with 100.40 miles – barely made it into the 100 Mile Club!

Thanks for setting us up for December @skippygirlsmom!

@martaindale – I’ve never tried Hanson’s method. It makes sense though to try new things as our body adapts to the same ole same ole runs. I’m very guilty of that.

Congrats on your run streak @run_sara_run and @SummerSkier !

See you all in December!

110.09/100 miles completed for November
 
It was a perfect morning for a run! I ran 6 miles which put me over my goal by 10 miles. It was such a pretty morning with lots of stars and a pretty crescent moon. The downtown area is decorated for Christmas.  It was perfect running in shorts and a t-shirt weather.  I could have run more if I didn't have to get ready for work.  That wraps up November for me. I can't believe December will be here tomorrow.  See you all over in the new thread.  Thanks for setting it up @skippygirlsmom!

Final count for November is... 43 km.

I went outside for my run today, and honestly it didn't feel that great, like I forgot how to run or something and then I looked at my watch and had only gone half a kilometer, haha. My goal was 4k so I picked a scenic route, went about 2k and then turned around and came back. Ugggh. The good news is I did my monthly HM run at the very beginning on the month, so my 3-year streak is still going. And there was a light covering of wet snow on the ground, which was pretty, and the sky was a cool mix of grey and blue and a little sunshine peeking through.

Prettier in person but here ya go

So, still having heart problems (constant pain and discomfort, volatile heart rate) which I still think are myocarditis based on what that has felt like in the past. Which is as good as it gets since the cardio office won’t give me an appointment until the 22nd of December. I’m considering going and standing in the parking lot of the Collierville hospital which has a less crowded ER, doing my own “stress test” until my heart freaks out, and demanding treatment. I honestly don’t know what I’m supposed to do with the information that no one cares if I live or die.

@rheddmobile I'm so sorry. You have probably explained, but can't you go to urgent care? Or park yourself in your primary care physician's office? I know I can't tell you anything you haven't considered but I'm so frustrated for you.

@polskagirl01 you got out there. Take it slowly. I've had those post-injury/illness runs where you feel like you've never run before. Your body has been through a lot. You'll get back there.

Two more miles on the treadmill. I felt like I should do 3 to get to 75 but I wasn't sure I remembered my total correctly and I was out of time. In the end, the 1 mile doesn't matter so I will let it go and start fresh in December.

Great job to those who made their November goals! Great job to everyone who didn't get their goal, but got out there when they could and kept going. Continued recovery to those who haven't been able to run.

quilteryoyo

You are doing great @SummerSkier !

Nice running @kgirlhart !

@polskagirl01 Glad you got out there and got the run done. I hate it when I think I have gone a long way only to realize it's only been half a mile. I'll bet that happens to all of us. Beautiful pictures. Did you run on that muddy road?

@rheddmobile That's awful. Can your primary care help you get an appointment sooner or be of any help? Who did you see when you had the myocarditis before? Would they be willing to see you or is that the person you are trying to get an appointment with? I hope and pray that you will be okay until you see someone.

I couldn't have said it any better!

One of my computer issues is that I can't open my running spreadsheet, so have no idea how many miles I have run this month. Not many. After tonight's mile walk, I will have walked 32.1 miles. So, at least there is that.

Primary can’t see me either, and in any case wouldn’t be helpful. Same for urgent care. Urgent care is simply not qualified to treat anything with a complex history like lupus. They do the bare minimum and it doesn’t go well. They don’t have the equipment and can only do what’s already been done, which isn’t what’s needed. I need an echo and a stress test, cardiac enzyme labs that should have been done at the ER in the first place, and a qualified cardiologist to read my ekg. What I actually need is what my husband got when HE went to the ER - appropriate labs, a actual cardiologist to read the ekg, and a cardio on staff to make the appointment at the cardio clinic so I can get in in a reasonable amount of time. I think the thing that is making me most angry is that their third year intern sent me home saying my ekg was normal, then I check mychart later and the cardiologist they got to review and sign off on it (two days later!) said oh wait, it’s definitely not. The EKG weirdness is fairly consistent with myocarditis but can also be a symptom of something more serious like an aneurysm so I would really like someone to do their job so I don’t have to be terrified from now until Christmas.

In all seriousness they have an echo at the hospital in Collierville so I am going to go down there tomorrow during the day, when doctors work (as opposed to the sorry interns on ER duty overnight) and force them to pay attention to me by whatever means necessary. And this time I am taking my husband, who will threaten and cajole as necessary. Just hoping the hospital in Collierville isn’t suffering from the same level of disfunction as the one in Memphis. Still stunned that I know the details of everyone else’s ailments because they were treating patients in the waiting room due to no nurses to monitor the ER rooms. They had rooms, but no nurses, and only the one intern. And this is a major hospital.

Last run got me over my goal! Did a 40 minute HM pace run tonight. Overpaced a little in the earlier miles then the 4th was a little slow. The last mile ended up being about right. The whole run just felt good. My legs felt light and my feet just bounced off the pavement. Just a really lovely run.

@rheddmobile, not giving you an appointment until the end of December is ridiculous! I hope someone sees you at the other hospital tomorrow and can give you the tests you need.

@AlphaHowls I don’t know how you do it! I’m constantly amazed.

I wasn’t scheduled to run today, but I did a mile on the treadmill before my Pump class.

Lots of great running to wrap up the month! Congratulations to those who got out to run whiter you made goal or not, great job!!
@rheddmobile - I would hope that urgent are or your PCP could help you get in to see the cardiologist you need to see before the 22nd. If not I hope the Collierville hospital will help. SO scary for you! I am thankful I didn't have to jump through those hoops to get to see the cardiologist I needed to see last year.
@AlphaHowls - you are amazing! Awesome work on your streak!
@polskagirl01 - love the pictures! Looks like a beautiful place to run, just wish you were feeling it better!

I got out with the pups today. It was amazingly cool and very foggy! I guess we are between hot and dry wind events. My right hip and glute were talking and then my left knee joined in. By the time we were heading home my knee was burning. Ended up mostly walking and realized the pain I was feeling was likely a result of one pup wanting to pull me along and the other straggling behind and stopping even. It was my last outing with both pups as Beaux goes home tomorrow afternoon and Hobbes is going for a spa day before we head up north for a few days (running in the redwoods! can't wait!!)
See you all in December!
