Rehab Tent - Bitch about your injuries here

Sisu - Cool picture. I hope you are wrong and a couple of pt sessions will get you fixed up. ((((Sisu)))<br><br>
My foot is fucked up. Fuckity fuck!

Please get it checked out asap!! I hope it's just something minor but listen to it if it won't stop being fuckity.

sb - just a thought - I run loops around my neighborhood and the local high school track coach recommended switching directions 1/2 way through so that you stay balanced.

well I go see Doc Green tomorrow. Hoping for some simple painful ART. I'll post tomorrow.

Thanks ANDI, I have heard of that too. The only problem with the track is that they have directions posted as to what days you go what direction..when I am the only one or two on it, it is not a problem to go opposite midway thru, but when there are more then that I am continually having to dodge people!! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> I think I just need to avoid that place like the plague!! <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"><br><br>
BATMOMM...WTH.....is wrong????? Do not say your IT BAND!!!!

ABB....I found this the other night...the first stretch they show is for tight IT bands...it works!!! I love it and have noticed a diff after doing it!!<br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_0Edu8sxRk&NR=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_0Edu8sxRk&NR=1</a>

that looks really good staci!!

Everybody's gone and I'm finally done! My entire house is CLEAN! All of the clothes are washed! Goodie bags are made. Snacks are ready for tomorrow! The cake is ordered! Folding the last load of laundry the going to bed! Sleep well RMAD's!

how is all the injured doing??

I'm really fucking tired of waking up every day and something being fuckity!<br>
For fuck's sake, I'm not old yet!!! Lately it's my left knee. Other days it's my left ankle or right hip. Its not like I'm frigging putting in 60 mile weeks or doing speed work. It's very discouraging. I really wanted to feel like I was more prepared for race season right now and I'm not feeling ready at all. It just feels like if I really exerted myself I would definitely pull something right now.<br>
OK, end rant.

((((((((JB))))))))

sorry, I am really sounding like a whiner these days...this new blanket of snow is not improving my frame of mind. But I know many of you have worse injuries than mine. I'm going to try to really incorporate a daily regimen of stretching more often. I think that is the cause of much of my problems or at least a contributing factor. I just have had barely enough time to run lately, much less anything else.

JB - They wrote about stretching in RW (last month I think). The author wrote that you would gain more from cutting your run by 1 mile a day so you can stretch than you gain from running the extra mile. Just something to think about. I have really been trying to stretch more lately and I feel a lot better.

For what it matters I stretch all the time and I always have. I am sure it has kept me healthy. I stretch in my office during the day too.

You just gave me a huge grin. thanks, needed it! <img alt="icon_salut.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif">

I feel better. I am really, REALLY missing running. For those of you who don't know, I have an apparent stress fracture in my 4th metatarsal in my left foot. It was a problem before I started running but the running has aggravated it. I need to watch my diet and really GET ON TRACK for the tail end of my 1/2M training for May!<br></div>

Sorry JB. I know it is so frustrating. Believe me, PF gets me most days that I question the whole point of running. Yet, then I get done with my run and the world seems to be a better place. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> I read that article in RW that Andi mentioned and it does make sense. I have stretched much more and noticed a change. I know it sounds redundant but stretching is the way to go.<br><br>
I also think that when the snow finally melts and you get some solid days of warmer temps and sunshine it will get better for you. Sounds like the gloomy weather is hampering your mood too which is a bummer. The winter on the east coast is just hanging on, so sorry!

You can do it. You are doing great with getting on the stationary bike. Keep it up you will make it for your hm. However, NO DD Boston Creme doughnuts for you missy! Or the accountability thread will have your hide! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">
