My chronic achilles problems can't be fixed and I'm still trying to get out there for one more run.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-58222512072286794142014-08-19T06:54:03.014-07:002014-08-19T06:54:03.014-07:00I was so happy to see your update pop up in my rea...I was so happy to see your update pop up in my reader! As for injuries cropping up at irrational and inconsiderate times, how true and how frustrating. I haven't been in the running game nearly as long (or fast) as you, but I'm already pretty sure that my body's more (and less) than a well built machine. How else to explain why injuries crop up and stubbornly refuse to heal when your job's stressing you out? (Which is, of course, when you need a good run the most!) <br /><br />My husband and I have a phrase we use when one of us manages a particularly deft child-management coup -- "Parenting Gold Star!" we'll exclaim, and give a high-five. I wish someone were around to give us runners a "Running Gold Star" when we actually manage to do the right, mature, restrained thing. Because the rewards otherwise aren't nearly as consistent or immediate as I want them to be :-)Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582049406998358870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3614129246696786322.post-26066290243744262112014-08-19T06:16:30.295-07:002014-08-19T06:16:30.295-07:00Yay, PPC is still out there, pushing the limits! 1...Yay, PPC is still out there, pushing the limits! 100heel dips?? Ha :) any pool close enough to do some deep water running once or twice a week to really crank up the excitement meter (but possibly increase your running injury free)? Find a super duper massage person as an extra recovery "tool"...? Yoga? Sorry, you've likely had these thoughts before being so super intelligent and mature ;) last thought would be to reduce inflammatory foods in the diet (inflammation = injury and pain) to see if there is a change...will you do anything big for your 40th? cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.com
