@Elise4270 -- I also have AS; please PUSH your rheumatologist the next time you have bloodwork done and remember that you are the customer. If they cannot provide you the service you need, please find a new rheumatologist.

@meganmickmeow -- this sounds all too familiar (I have both). I agree 100%; this is not only a man's disease. I find that my pain level is significantly lower if I keep moving -- whether I like it or not. As for running, I would highly recommend sticking with hiking, walking, and add elliptical training to the routine.…

WTG @Elise4270!

@briebee7 -- I know the feeling! My daughter is a VERY good sprinter (she plays soccer), but trying to slow her down is a job in itself! She also only knows two speeds -- full bore and stopped :smiley: I still have her on 200 meter run/walk intervals. I told her that as soon as I think she's ready, I will race a one-mile…

@Elise4270 -- Hi Elise.. I just noticed your message here. It's somewhat hard to recommend a good running shoe without being fitted and know what type of shoe you really need (motion control, stability, etc.), if you over/under pronate, and so on. So, I will tell you what works for me (you already know my issues). I have…

@skippygirlsmom -- Yes it is :smile: The Disney Half sounds like so much fun! I hope that you can both make it and run it together.

Thanks Shana! My daughter told me that she "wanted to race with daddy", so I am teaching her to run. Slow interval running with her is like earning a new PR everyday! :smiley:

@ddmom0811 -- Thanks!

You and that damn logic again.. :smile:

Holy hell! That's nucking futs. I may need to pack a Camelbak full of beer to help me feel a little bit better during the piss/puke breaks.

@Elise4270: don't be discouraged about how "out of shape" you think you are. We ALL have a long way to go. Even if/when we get there, we will set new goals, push to do better, and set out to smash our new goals :smiley: Just keep up the good work, stay consistent, and continue putting in the miles -- you'll be surprised…

I only use them as a workout guideline to help take me from where I am to where I want to be. I think of these ranges in the same aspect of Yasso 800s: there has been no proof to show that you will run your predicted marathon time if you can complete 10 Yassos in your prescribed time. Either way, both are decent for…

^^ +1. Truth.

^^ Truth. Don't get me wrong, I use McMillan (McRun app) for most of my workout pacing. I think the problem lies in a general misunderstanding (of course, not you Doug) that the pace ranges are hard numbers when they are really statistically estimated workout ranges. If the pace does not feel right or elevates the HR to…

How were your runs during January and February? Has your weight increased since December? Are you getting adequate sleep/rest with your workload/travel? Are you constantly stressed out from work? Like others have asked, how is your carb percentage compared to your other macros? A car must have gas in the tank before it can…

Can't your ortho set up the ESI for you? Mine does. There are 3 doctors in the practice I go to who specialize in those types of procedures. Same here -- I cannot report to work if I have to take narcotics. If you're worried about them being stolen, I would highly recommend storing them in a safe/lockbox. I'm not going to…

@Elise4270: if you have surgery, I hope it works well for you. My surgeries were not minimally invasive (it was not an option), so I cannot speak from experience on that procedure. But with both open and minimally invasive, you back muscles will still have to heal and you will have pain where the screws and rods are…
-
@Elise4270 -- do you know what kind of back surgery they are proposing? If it's more than a disc trim, I will tell you that the recovery REALLY sucks. I've had my back rebuilt three times from L4 to S1(in the tailbone) with a disc repair at L3. Needless to say, the first two really sucked and the third only partially…

Nice!

@JoRocka, NEVER go down without a fight and ALWAYS keep your head held high. :wink: Aand.. one of my personal favorites.

@tdbernrd: FYI, they sell the jogger's mace with the velcro handstrap at Dick's Sporting Goods if you want to buy local. It's very comfortable, has a quick flip safety, and cheap. You pretty much forget it's there once you get used to it. @briebee7: the collapsable baton is multi-purpose. You can take out a kneecap if…
