Then no more. I've been diagnosed with Bell's Palsy and it has prevented me from running.

So, here are my numbers

WTD - 15.3
MTD - 227.4

Here's to hoping I can get back soon.

i don't know much about bell's palsy, but someone i know had it at one point... it's not a forever thing, right? :ohwell: i hope you're better in no time and cranking out those miles just like usual. who else is going to make me feel so inadequate??? healing vibes sent your way. :flowerforyou:

This is the second time I have had it. The first was nearly 30 years ago. I healed fully from it that time. Studies show that 85% of people recover fully,10% have some lingering paralysis and 5% don't recover. I'm being optimistic. I think I am going to start back up running tomorrow. I have no restriction other than to be careful with pace and distance as the steroids I'm taking can make the ligaments more susceptible to damage.

Great attitude hoping for a speedy recovery!:flowerforyou:

Thanks. Have been dealing with some pain this time around that has prevented me from getting proper rest. I haven't run since last Tuesday. I'm targeting Monday to get back to it, I think. We'll see how the weekend goes now that I have a different set of medications.

7.9 miles each thees four past days, ticker up to date and double checked. Well done everybody!

a big shout out to you too!! 200+ miles this month? yeah, you are awesome... again!

Thank you, dear, you're awesome too!

And now I'm at 59 for the month. I will finish at 62.

Finished at 61 miles. My run last night got interrupted by an attacker, which is just as not-awesome as it sounds. I have a black eye and some bruises but am otherwise no worse for the wear.

That's like the opposite of awesome. I hope for a slow and painful death to all attackers.

Cooriander - thanks again. You're such a great inspiration, and I so appreciate the way you give us this thread every month. It's fab.

Cooriander

Thanks it is is really a privilege! We are fortunate to have so many people here who are so motivated, and I like seeing it on a spreadsheet (I do spreadsheets all the time - and I enjoy it :P ).
