The reason for such a long break in posting is because I have been dwelling in my own misery for the last two weeks: I am dealing with some ‘female issues’ after a CAT scan found something in my pelvis area. Initially the (urgent care) doctor thought I was passing a kidney stone, but going [...]

Comments: Leg still hurts, but I had to get out and run. The right leg was tight, and then my right shin started to hurt. I have to assume because I was (unintentionally) striking the ground differently. So I walked a bit, stretched the shin muscle and finished up. Weather: 39 Clothes: Long sleeve shirt, Pants, Gloves Shoes: Saucony Distance: [...]
Comments: I had so much crap to do today, but I HAD to get my 5 miler in there. After all it was ONLY 5 miles. So with frustrations build up during the day I tried to run it all off and I sure did. I pushed myself the whole way. This has to be [...]
Comments: I was hoping for 6 miles on the rider in 50 min, didn’t happen. But, I did go further in that timeframe than I have ever before…so, yay me! The leg is still not well, but it is not getting any worse. >>>23 days to go to the Columbus Marathon<<< Time: 10 am Workout: Elliptical Rider [...]
Comments: Rinse and repeat, same as Monday, except it was a hotter: Right leg was pretty stiff in the beginning, but after I warmed up it was bearable.

Comments: The 10am, 3 mile run was not pleasant. The knee was ok, but the piriformis muscle made a starteling, painful comeback! In order to compansate the new ache I changed my gait and in turn got shin splint pains in my right leg. The pain was not too bad over all though (or maybe my pain [...]
…because the Doc said I have “Runner’s Knee” lol What a relief, because the hypochondriac in me anticipated a much worse diagnosis! The doctor gave me some specific strengthening exercises to do to offset the muscle imbalance, told me to continue icing it, and take painkillers for the pain if necessary. He also said that this knee problem [...]
Ever since yesterday’s run I was wondering “will my knee be better tomorrow?”, “will I be able to run the 13 or so miles to the in-laws’ house?” It was aching off and all day yesterday, pushing itself into my conscious thought process. Today I found out and the answer is “NO!” The knee was [...]
