Never really had a running injury in 20 years, Ice Cream? You better turn tail and RUN! You won't like what you read here.<br><br>
Okay, I'm yanking your chain. <span style="font-size:xx-small;">A little. 20 years, eh? I'm envious!!!<br><br><span style="font-size:small;">I'm guessing it's mostly a case of the Winter Blues. Thirty-five marathons and all the training that entails over 20 years, sure, you're going to have a few aches and pains, esp if you're talented enough to be running Boston.<br><br>
Tell us more about your training over the last while. Do you ever take a real break from training? Have you ever taken something like a running holiday in the sense that you run for pure enjoyment -- no watch, no HRM? Or maybe run trails instead of pounding out miles on the road?<br><br>
I'll join Larry in welcoming you here. I'm about your age and have been running 20 years or so too (with several gaps doing things not nearly as healthy). Unlike you, the past year was one where I had plenty of injuries -- some overtraining, one trail-related -- so I'll be interested to learn more about how you train.<br><br>
Hang in there. I bet there's an answer other than <i>just</i> age. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"> (Besides, 48 isn't old. <span style="font-size:xx-small;">Is it?</span>)<br></span></span>
