Okay, that's what I was thinking....it sounds like an accountability app....I find I'm more accountable if I log and I make better choices if I log, I don't need pep talks. And Free!! Glitches and all.

Currently on Day 8 of Hurricane Dorian binge in NE Florida. I'm so ready to get back into my routine!!!

Hey - 70.3 IM Training As of today (8/7) - 3 outside rides = 94 miles/2,008 feet of elevation climb I am in florida, so any 'up' is associated with a bridge!

@_Within_ which one are you doing/when is it? Are you following a plan? I've done 2 fulls (Choo and Santa Rosa) and a handful of half's....I'm doing Augusta next month (Sept 29th).

Hey......did you end up getting stem cells? I've started a PRP/Stem Cell/PRP regimen....and wanted your feedback. I'm 45, have had 2 ACL replacements in my 'bad' knee....which has left me, fairly young, with advanced osteoarthritis. I don't want a knee replacement (quite yet) and have a lot of people in my running…

I'm on Day 21 right now.....Once I got thru the first 7-10 days, I'm feeling great. I don't limit fruit though - I haven't read the book (only the website) but I am 45 and have advanced osteoarthris in my right leg (several ACL surgeries) after trolling some arthritis websites, I decided I need to elimate processed sugar…

Oh jeez, I guess I qualify. I'm 44, but I don't feel 'middle aged'.....I guess I subscribe to Hunter S Thompson's philosophy on aging - “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used…

I do this too....but I've gotten better..what helped me....was being a bit introspective....I had a diary/journal where I would write what I was feeling (before/as I was helping myself to binge eat/eat mindlessly.) I at least figured out the triggers - stress, boredom....and then developed some coping mechanisms to get…

Um, this sounds delightful. I don't know of any of this sort of event around me (US - Florida). I'm just getting into the 100+ miles...training for an IM event in September.

hydrate. If you are running at ~8K feet too, that's a pretty steep elevation compared to 300. I know I get out of breath faster in Denver than I do in Jacksonville, FL (where I live). Just take your first run conservative. You'll get worn out quicker at the higher elevation and if you are running on different terrain (i.e.…

I live in Florida and (for me) it takes about 2-3 weeks to get used to running thru puddles (i.e. the air). I'm an AM runner though but my husband runs at night (after work). If the sun's out....some sort of hat (white instead of black). Go slower (someone else said it...run by feel, not by watch)....you'll be faster come…

They did not! I am googling it now. I've done some long long runs....50 mile +...but that's been over 2 years ago.

Nah, nothing I'm doing right now is giving me any relief. Other than the cortisone. But my doctor(s) - both the Orthopedist and the Ortho surgeon do not recommend multiple cortisone shots since it can breakdown the fatty pad in your heel and cause constant pain. My gait analysis (which was recommended when this first came…

I live in Florida and love my ortho-heel flip flops. With that said, I've got custom orthotics, so I wear them with my new running shoes (that I walk in) and switch them into my Hoka running shoes (lots of cushion) for the back half of the day. I work from home if I'm not in an airport. If I travel - see clients, I do wear…

My chiropractor is an ART guy....I went to see him about 4-5x in February when this flared up....sadly, it didn't alleviate the pain.

Yes!!!! So PRP is an option...pretty costly since it's not covered by insurance - the ortho/foot guy said I'd probably need 3-4 treatments (@800 per pop) every other week. And it's no gaurentee. he said he'd recommend the Tenex (also on that page) and do a PRP while he's in there to help regenerate/speed up healing. UGH.…

Oh, I LOVE KT tape. I've also taped my arch for support if I have a heavy day or walking.

normal arches. See above for what I've done: new shoes, night boot, physical therapy, ASTYM, cortisone, stretching, trigger point, ice, orthotics. trying acupuncture.

I really want to avoid surgery.....I am signed up for acupuncture next week. When I talked to the acupuncturist, she did tell me I'd know pretty quickly if it was going to work....so I'm hopeful.

How long was the 'healing' process? How many sessions?

yeah, I wouldn't sweat your 'light' (as in kick your *kitten*) ride on MFP...as long as your calories transfer from the meter/Garmin....you 'know' where your at....I am super envious of your elevation gain. SWEET!!!!

google shallow water pool exercises (or something like that)...I see quite a few people at my local Y doing stuff in the shallow end. Here's something from for muscle development. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/maia3.htm

Going on 4 months. Yes, i got new shoes too - but I don't 'think' that was part of the issue...I am a runner, I change my shoes out every 300(ish) miles, I wear a stability shoe, but I did change them out when I felt the first tingle. part of my cocktail of 'fix the PF 2016 plan'.

Basically very small incision (like a toothpick size) is made, ultrasound guided, breaks down the damaged/scar tissue that is causing the PF, and off you go. http://www.amjorthopedics.com/home/article/a-novel-treatment-for-refractory-plantar-fasciitis/2f495b08e4530e0b081e535227379717.html

Find out (via a ortho/PT/whatever...but someone legit...not the internet or this website ;-)) what the problem really is - to confirm bursitis or see if it's something else. Sadly, bursitis is nag'gy and I just had to take time off to get it resolved. Take up something less impact (I went the swimming route) and then make…

wine. yoga. running/walking.

I travel for work a lot - early mornings, late nights, stress, entertainment/dinners/drinks out, 3 meals I don't have 'control' over. It's hard to stay motivated. sometimes when 'stuff' arrives at my room - I put out on the lobby table (and walk away!) I always pack my shoes...I get angry at myself if I waste the packing…

keep up with your planks, stretch afterwards, but I'd add a yoga class in there too - get some lengthening. When you do weights, do you do anything for your back (i.e. dead lifts or those lower back extensions w/a plate)...both help with core strength.

What Carson said....I'm in Florida and heat and humidity are par for the course. It takes time to acclimate (2-3 weeks), hydrate and understand that you will be slower at your 'easy' pace. You'll get there....and of course, moisturewick clothing and chafe prevention.

Fantastic job lady!!! That's an awesome accomplishment!! Be very proud of yourself :-)
