Aw, it's so nice to come across another with a similar situation. I still haven't gotten it in my head that I CAN'T pace like everyone else. I just keep trying. The AS doesn't sound any better than pars fractures. My sympathies. Thank you so much for the acknowledgement!
I'll probably have a CT later this year to get a better picture of what's going on. I have an excellent surgeon on hold. I just don't what to give up running. I'm stubborn.
Blessed miles to you! (And your poor SI joints)
I had to google this and see exactly what it is. Wow is all I can say, I agree you are a tough one. The fact you are out there running is amazing. Take care of yourself!

Me and/or LoneWolfRunner? Thanks and we both must be tough or equally obstinate.
And it's better to keep moving with our conditions. Sedentary means stiffness and achy pain.0 -

Got in a nice run this morning before the marine layer burned off so it was nice and cool. We are off to No Arizona for my niece's family weekend at her college. I should have the opportunity to get in a run or two in some cold (~20 degree) weather. We'll see how I manage it
The pup may even get to see some snow!

@dfnewcombe you are killing it to get to your goal, great job
@stoshew71 did you defrost from this morning's run yet? nice job as usual
@lonewolfrunner I see you are back to BBBBBRRRRR!! again
@ddmom0811 39F hey we can laugh that we would love 39 but I know when you are not used to that it's cold. My mom is in Tampa area and said she had her winter coat out yesterday LOL
@elise4270 I have to agree with LoneWolf on your HM in March, it think it's too soon with the mileage you are doing. You don't want your first to be a miserable experience. I would work towards the October HM and throw in some 5Ks and 10Ks along the way. I'm certainly no expert and I didn't even sleep at a Holiday Inn last night
Thanks @skippygirlsmom I appreciate the encouragement!!. I am trying to get ready to get ready for a half marathon in May..... I've been working with a trainer for strength training and suggestions to increase my mileage. We will see how it goes! Fortunately, I don't have the weather conditions so many others are suffering with.... getting outside most days is not a hardship like so many others....
I am inspired by the successes of so many on this board! Thanks for sharing your stories-this is my first month joining the challenge. I am looking forward to keeping up with this!

Oh my, the month is closing in! I think I only have 3 days of running left since I'm biking on the weekend. But it looks like I should hit my goal since I am trying to increase mileage a little bit. Trying to only do 10% a week... because whenever I do a lot more I end up feeling pain.

Thanks, I'm not concerned it has hurt before and some stretching and rest fixed it.
You so have this!!

My husband bought me a treadmill, so gimpy ankle be damned, I couldn't NOT run - I fail my goal for the month, so I'm not even going to add it to my ticker. 2 miles of running for me. Yay! I'm trying to take it easy and heal, but what is HE thinking?0

I swapped out my usual Friday short run for a bit longer 5 mile run. I wanted to get it in before snow comes tonight. I just had some Yaktrax arrive so I will try those out for a shorter run tomorrow.

I've been AWOL but I'm still running, looks like exciting things are happening here. The dog scare stories gave me the chills. The photo of Hobbes at the beach is the fantastic- he looks like the happiest pup ever! @Elise4270 and @LoneWolfRunner and a few others here who run through constant pain, I'm in awe of you. Your positive attitude must be your superpower.
By the way @Lesleycali I'd love to climb that huge boulder(?) I never see anything like that on my trails. This is trail running in February in NH.
@skippygirlsmom sorry about the pain in your hip but I just love your positive outlook. The snow on your roof is adorable, here people are actually climbing up and shoveling it off their roofs to prevent collapses. And my road is still just a road, though that's Uncanoonuc Mountain on the horizon.

@fabnine your street is pretty! The PT said the pain was from my hip being weak and said did you hurt it? I said yes in a race in December, so he gave me another exercise to help it. I love that he listens to me and works on what we discuss. He said to continue to add mileage as long as I'm not in pain.
@Wendy1Fl glad to see your back is good!0 -
So the high today was some thing like 15 and I was an work at the highest. And I just didn't have intestinal fortitude to run outside after my lift inside.
So this had to do.
2.5 stead up and downhill work
Last half mile was farlick sprints every tenth or so roughly.
And damn. Look at them chubby cheeks! Lol
That puts me at the following:
2.12: twenty five min- flat
2.15: thirty min (best guess)- hill
2.20 thirty min - intervals/hills
I'll take it. for a none running runner!

Slow run today the cold (27 which is very cold for me) and the altitude change between Anaheim and Flagstaff really got to me. Had not even considered that a change in altitude would be an issue until it hurt to breathe!
@fabnine - love the pictures. The trail is beautiful, if impassable and your street looks so icy!
@JoRocka - watch out we may make you a runner yet! Nice workout on the treadmill!
@skippygirlsmom - glad the PT wants you to continue and has a solution for that little pain twinge!0 -
