Thank you, Rosie and Susan. Yeah, I was wondering about the one-size-fits-all of the brand recommended to me, but, Susan, I'll have to check to see whether I can find that brand closer to home. Sounds good.<br><br>
Opie, now <i>that</i> I can't tell you, not knowing how bad it is. Probably okay, but no speedwork until it settles down.
 
Opie, like this:<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.healthylegs.co.uk/images/exercise_calf-raise.jpg" style="border:0px solid;"><br><br>
Psst, Econo. Here's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JynBEX_kg8" target="_blank">something</a> you and FKALE might find funny.
 
First, I forgot to say hi to Soundrunner. Hi Soundie! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/wave.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="wave"><br><br>
Yeah, what's a comb? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy"><br><br>
tomwhite, I kinda know what you mean about the footstrike. When I change to a more forward footstrike, my foot pain tends to go away. Unfortunately, I also run too fast and my cardio-vascular system conks out. Not good!<br><br>
I <i>really</i> did not want to swim tonight, so I didn't. I discovered the TrekMill today at the club. A treadmill that goes to a 50% incline! So I borrowed a page from the Hippo playbook and did a walk at a steep incline. 60 minutes, and I covered 3.5 miles horizontally, and about 0.5 miles vertically. My speed varied from 3 to 4 mph, and my incline varied between 10 and 25%. It was a great workout, and it didn't seem to bother my foot too much. I liked it much more than either the stationary bike or swimming.
 
8.6km in 50 minutes in crisp 36F. I like running in the cold when 'tain't raining nor howling with wind.
 
Thanks for the picture and advice, SS. I just did a couple sets of those. Yes, I know not to do speedwork. I'm even backing off a little on easy pace using Daniels' adjustments.<br><br>
Like you, Labduck, I really didn't want to hit the pool so I didn't. I didn't like the way my shins felt during the water running yesterday, the more I thought about it. So guess what I did-rowing! 5k in 28 minutes. Then 3 miles easy on the stationary bike while little Opie fiddled with my earbuds and tried to talk me into a smoothie. I feel good.
 
comb? just glad to have hair....having it be uncooperative is of little concern<br><br>
nice run tripleJ....hope the foot doesn't whine a bit on those little ol harlan hills<br><br>
good outing Ken<br><br>
lab....I'm doing my best as a fan to make sure the Vols get the chance to knock off LSU and help your Ducks.<br><br>
riley....what general part of NY are you in?<br><br>
Easy run this evening in the dark....weather gets crazy this time of year....ran in snow flurries a few days ago....today it was 72 degrees for the second day in a row....supposed to see more snow in the mountains by Thursday night or Friday......right after all the Turkey Day rain ....rain....heat.....cold....snow..........whateve r the weather....it's....just the way we like it
 
Ilene, what exactly is wrong with your hip?<br><br>
90 min Yoga and 30 min Pilates today.<br>
EZ yoga night -- did lots of leg work instead of upper body. Why do I feel disappointed when the instructor goes EZ as the extra stretching is always a good thing. I wore my watch so I could time planks. hehe<br><br>
3 Piejones Honeymoon straight arm forward planks x 1 min = 3.75 pts<br>
1 elbow plank x 1 min = 1 pt<br>
1 left side straight arm x 1 min = 1.25 pt<br>
1 right side straight arm x 1 min = 1.25 pt<br>
1 Choovie reverse plank x 1 min = ?<br><br>
7.25 total?
 
7.5 miles tonight. Made it to the group workout again. 4-mile warm-up around the lake, 3-mile tempo with some of group on a loop course around the track (grass, path, track); 7:28/avg. Just half-mile cool down. The sleep-deprived bod kicked in for the workout after all. The brain was asking for a few strides to finish, but then the body finally rebelled.<br><br>
Clear and cold night. There's something -- hmm, powerful? can't think of what it is --being at the track with runners post-workouts, talking the talk and our breathing hanging in the night air. Beginning to shiver in our sweat, but no one wanting to leave first.<br><br>
Johnny, you'll always be a rocker in my mind.<br>
Opie, heal quickly!<br>
Hi Lab!
