Aww @7lenny7 I’m so heartbroken for you. I really hate it when our medical professionals peapol don’t come through.
My Running Strong book by Jordan Metzl (runners world doc), says it’s simply overuse. Culprits include: too much too fast, hill running to quickly, possibly weak calves, tight calves or overpronation. So if your shoes are causing overpronation, I wouldn’t replace them unless it’s time. I just don’t buy into the drop being an issue unless you haven’t adjusted.

@Elise4270 don't you be heartbroken for me when I'm heartbroken for YOU! This is just a minor setback, nothing like what you're going through. Poor timing, to be sure, but oh well. I'm considering getting a coach for my next major race training specifically so I can avoid injury like this. Thanks for posting that page. I do need to get better at actively managing my body for injury prevention. What usually happens is I get injured, I do everything I need to do to get better, then as soon as I feel strong again, I quit doing what got me there so quickly after injury. That includes foam rolling, stretching, range of motion exercises and strength work. Again, that's where I might need a coach to hold me accountable.

@7lenny7 - LOL on the LISS meaning too! Be careful with your Hokas! I remember someone on here ... I can't remember who... got them and the first time he ran in them he got hurt because they are SO different. He was out of running for months. Anyone remember that? I think it depends upon which doctor you go to as to what running advice they give. We all know there are schools of thought on which is better. I certainly don't know!
Back to LISS - I'd not heard of it either until that article. And why in the world would a magazine entitled "Eating Well" have such an article? But I loved what it said about how good it is for you because it is my favorite type run!
The run I get into a rut doing, day after day..... 5 slow and steady miles!
My glute/butt is much better today! I was able to do a leg/glute strength training workout this morning. I decided not to run just to be sure. Tomorrow is cycling anyway and I am hoping to go long (that is more than 34 miles).

Today I got to run 3.38 miles to and from the gym. The weather was pretty crummy and I almost backed out, but then my phone lied to me and said the next bus wasn’t coming for 17 minutes and I decided I’d rather run in the slushy wet snowy badness than wait. Of course, the bus passed me less than 5 minutes later, but at that point I was committed. And then of course I had to run home, because it was cold and wet and I didn’t want to stand around.
The gym was busy today but fun. I did barbell squats and presses with a much, MUCH stronger woman who was also super friendly and encouraging and had a really adorable small child with her, so that was nice. Part of my interest in joining a gym was how stir-crazy I was starting to get being alone at home all day, and while I’m not out to make a bunch of friends, it’s nice to chat with someone other than the cats.
I think running to the gym and then giving myself the option to run or walk home is probably going to be my main plan going forward. I feel like I’ve got plenty of energy for my workouts (though it’s a little embarrassing to be all red-faced during the warm-up) and then the run is out of the way if I’m feeling sore after deadlifts or something. My route right now is between 1.5-1.75 miles, but I've mapped out 2.5 and 3.2 mile routes along the lakes for when I'm ready to bump my mileage.
After all the talk about hydration packs recently I decided to jump in and get one as well - I needed to return a couple of things to REI anyhow and that 20% member discount was about to expire, so I stopped in after errands with my mom on Monday. I spent a bunch of time debating the Nathan and the Osprey before realizing that they only had the latter in small, which made my decision for me.
I got this one and have used it twice now with the bladder removed and like it a lot - I’ve been running with a small conventional backpack for the gym and this was a big improvement. Without the bladder it’s just the right size for my gym basics: phone, wallet, headphone case, small towel, sunscreen, change of socks, and a light coverup. Even if I don’t like it for hydration I might keep it just for that.

So far behind... SO tired of running right now....
Today's 20 miles was a STRUGGLE! I am coming to terms with my past stupidity in signing up for this "Mittens Challenge" *kitten*. Oh well, its already paid for. I can't back out now (for better or worse).
Thunderstorms are predicted tomorrow morning so my next 20 miler will be Sunday morning (EARLY) before work. Then the taper... What have I signed up for?!?!
I have asked this question before but, seriously.... How do some of you run the crazy high miles you do every week?!?
April goal miles ? / Miles to Date = 53 miles
Upcoming Races:
5/4 = Wisconsin Marathon (Mittens Challenge Part 1)
5/5 = Kalamazoo Marathon (Mittens Challenge Part 2)

The greatest feature with the iPhone relates to the courageous decision Apple made in removing that useless headphone jack. Now, instead of plugging in those horrendous old-fashioned wired headphones, you get to spend extra $$$$ on a pair of AirPods that end up holding a charge for a couple of hours (tops), and you have the added bonus of walking around looking like you have a pair of miniature tampons hanging from your ears.
WHY did Apple do this?!?!? I've had my iPhone for years and the headphone thing still takes me by surprise (AKA pisses me off). I can't listen to music in my car at the same time as I charge my phone! UGH
Apple and their stupid custom accessory and expensive dongle things. I am buying an Android next time JUST because of the stupid headphone thing.
FYI - Good luck @lporter229 and @garygse at Boston this weekend. I am crossing my fingers that the weather is okay for you.

Still not running, but got over 12K steps walking today. That wasn't intended, it was just what airports, T stations, and getting to the expo to pick up my very expensive long sleeve tech shirt added up to.
On the bright side, I got to talk to several first time Boston runners, and some people who are repeat Boston runners. And I found a marker indicating there will be a new memorial this summer:
Okay. Now I have to come back next year and see what the completed memorial looks like. (As if I wouldn't come back anyway!)

Eh no need to worry about me. I got a cool rod in my leg. I must be the company of like 0.02% of the population. I’m sure it even has its own unique serial number for easy identification, (ooo mental note- ask doc for it!) -if they find me in the woods or at the bottom of a lake. Great CSI twist. And if/when I get cremated, someone’s gonna have to retrieve that. Surely that’ll be coolness in someone’s day.
I slack on doing the regular things I’m supposed to do too. But I do have a surgeon to answer too. If I complained about it, he’d chew my rear. He’s been my ally through all this and done an amazing job getting me through chronic pain. A coach sounds like a good move.
Hang in there. I know you’ll recover. Ya better, so I can catch you at a race.7 -
Yes, they are the Arenaline 19's. It's interesting that it was my right knee that felt odd...and my calves. I may try them on a couple of more runs and then decide whether to keep them or not.rheddmobile wrote: »Are those the Adrenaline 19s? What you’re describing is actually the reason I didn’t buy them - I felt like they were throwing my weight to the outside of my foot and making my knee stabilizers work overtime.0 -

Running in San Diego yesterday and today. I headed out about 6:30 to get a run in first thing both days, and really enjoyed being in such pleasant weather and seeing the water. This morning was not as sunny but still very nice, but I started to panic about everything I needed to do so cut it a little shorter than I wanted to - and cranked up the pace a bit at the end to finish up. I stopped and got a coconut latte and then headed back to shower and get to work in my hotel room. And finally, after weeks/months of stress, I'm done with this project and it is submitted and off my plate!!!! I then gave my presentation this afternoon at the conference and now I'm exhausted but could not be more relieved. Taking a little break and then it's time to start celebrating with margaritas.
Definitely should be able to get one more run in tomorrow before I leave, but not sure how long. Depends how many margaritas, probably.

I’m slackingggg! Now that I’ve got two friends doing c25k with me(and on different days) I haven’t really been doing any other running besides that! It’s going to be really nice out tomorrow so I’m praying I can get out for a 5k

Thanks @girlinahat! It's always nice to hear from someone who has taught over there and had a good experience. My son would say he doesn't speak Japanese, but he does know some. He knows a lot of phrases and I think he knows some katakana and some kanji. I have been "learning" Japanese on Duolingo, and it is extremely hard! He was supposed to be in Ninohe, Iwate, but his visa took a long time and they ended up putting someone else there and now he is going to be in Sapporo, Hokkaido. He is looking forward to the cooler weather. He wanted to be up north. He is in the air now. He'll have will have a week of training in Sendai before he goes to Sapporo.6

So if your shoes are causing overpronation, I wouldn’t replace them unless it’s time. I just don’t buy into the drop being an issue unless you haven’t adjusted.
Book snippet
@7lenny7 - I agree with @Elise4270. Your sports doc sounds an awful lot like the podiatrist I saw who wanted me to wear 'normal' running shoes like Asics or Saucony and not the Altras she had never heard of. She didn't talk about the drop but she also told me to never go barefoot, wear shoes with lots of support and cushion. Too bad those shoes make my feet and knees hurt and I can't run in shoes with lots of cushion and I had been running in Altras or similar for years. She also didn't listen to me or hear my concerns, gave me no 're-entry' to running instructions or exercises.
The orthopedic sports doctor and PT I saw after her, both told me I needed to wear shoes with a wide toe box (like Altras which they new about and fully approved of) as well as going barefoot to strengthen the muscles and tendons in my feet and ankles.4 -
Hey all. No run for me. Come to the big smoke to do a shopping trip with a friend. Bought some new work shoes that will double as interview shoes. Currently sitting 8n Mcdonalds while the kids play in the playground. They don't really like mcdonalds food, and I'm not eating any, but they have that damned playground that the kids LOVE. Jessica 3ven promised to eat the food if we go. I got them apple slices, and water and the happy meals come with a book so that's something.
I have gotten so picky with shoes now, even work shoes. My running life bleeding into work life haha. But I refuse to accept uncomfortable shoes now. 8m pretty sure these shoes will work but until I wear them at work, I'm skeptical.3 -
No run today, spent it driving around instead... err looking at the clock, I mean no run YESTERDAY. Erf. Been a really long day... hopefully, that means tomorrow (err today?) is shorter to make up for it! 2

Didn’t slip out of work quite as early as I wanted, but made it out with plenty of time before I got dark. Ran along the cycle track but then got to the end with more miles wanted!! Hopped over a stile and across into Vallis Vale, a path along the river with a famous Unconformity named after the father of British Geological Survey, Henry de la Beche. For a nerdy moment I did a quick gawp at how hundreds of years ago some chap stared at a rock and realised odd stuff was going on, and how the Earth was formed.
I learnt a few things on my run:
It’s amazing how much nicer running on hard packed Earth is to tarmac
The track near my work isn’t long enough
I can amazingly (although painfully slowly) crack out a 10 mile run after a day at work
Refuelling should happen earlier than 6 miles in - I had a wooden legs half hour where my pace was a spectacular 13.46 minute mile as the flapjack tried to kick in
Never say hi to a dog as it tries to say hi back #muddypaws
I should do speedwork.
I should leave a note so when colleagues see my car still at work they don’t worry about me.
Plan ahead and have food ready to eat when you get back - rather than having to stop at the store
It’s wild garlic season already.

I was going to ask “what’s with this no barefoot “ movement? When I was a kid, we never wore shoes, it was good to go barefoot to strengthen the feet. How would shoes ever help? I did shortly work with a rather overweight woman that had issues with pf and said shoes helped. I love a shoe that I can feel the ground. Maybe the shoe companies have gotten to our docs, lobbying them like the Pharma reps do.
Eric’s gone all weekend. So I did a Walmart pick up order and the second I hit submit I remembered 2 things I wanted. One was pie. So I guess that’s a win. I need to study muscles. I need a study buddy (with pie).
It’s a nice day to run here. Cool, drizzle and overcast. Always seemed to be my best running. Oh how I miss flying through that trail. Oh leapt o’er a lil ‘nakie... feet in the stream, ohh you see that owl swoop down? Ahh. Awesome run. I can just about hear those foot falls.
I ditched the crutches yesterday evening. Dh is gone. So no one is here to tell me use them. My gait is beyond horrible. I can not adequately describe it. Think The Penguin if he had a derotational femur surgery. I’m sure sans crutches are a bad idea as i could develop some bad habits to over come or worse cause a muscle imbalance. Perhaps it’s time to use one with a little patience.
Go fly my little birdies.11 -

Next year when you pop in here claiming your December 2019 mileage, what accomplishments will you have made?
Run at least 4 5k races.
Get under 30:00 and a PR for 5k.
Average at least 135k per month, which would put me over 1,000 miles for the year.
Run the Year Team: Five for Nineteen
The Shine the Light 5k is a small church run. Weather was perfect; but legs ran out of strength and lungs ran out of wind; need to do a better job training. Managed to finish ahead of the guy who won the age group last year, so that was a plus. Perhaps my 2019 goal of getting under 30:00 will not be as achievable as I thought last October.
2019 Races:
4-13 Shine the Light 5K -- 31:12 chip time; First Place 65 and older
6-1 Freedom 5K (Will be off the schedule due to another commitment)
6-30 Strides for Starfish 5K11 -
Because the race got called off, I decided on a HM LT run a little after midnight before the storms hit. Running north or east was arduous due to the increasing wind speed, but overall I hit an average pace of 7:24.
Calling off the race was a wise move...we just had a barrage of quarter-sized hail, and that would've hurt. A lot. And seeing as we're completely surrounded by storms, more is to come. That big sucker on the left? Yeah, that actually runs pretty much the length of Texas and deep into Oklahoma, and it's making its way in our direction.
