Got in to see the sports medicine doc yesterday and after a quick eval and discussion of my symptoms, he told me I likely didn’t have a stress fracture. He took a couple x-rays stating that a stress fracture that has been around as long as I’ve had pain in the shin would show up [...]
So I’ve been running for a couple months on a stress fracture. Can’t remember how long exactly it’s been since I started feeling the pain but I wrote it off as shin splints for the longest time. After it didn’t get better following a two week break, I broke down and went to the doc. [...]
I took a solid two weeks off, no running or hiking or anything strenuous save for a couple circuits at the gym. All the pain in my shin dissipated and things were feeling pretty good. I decided to take advantage of the awesome weather and head over to Palmer Park on Monday. As soon as [...]
Gonna take a couple weeks to let my calves/shins heal up. They usually are fine to run on once I warmup but have been getting progressively more sore after runs as of late. The tender areas are also spreading. Will ride the bike in the meantime. Hopefully I can hold out and heal up until [...]
I wasn’t terribly sore from the run with the Incline Club on Sunday. My legs just felt kinda tired and a little stiff but not much in the way of muscle soreness. I felt it would be a good idea to go out for a few miles and warm them up and stretch [...]
Pretty good week. The weather is starting to get nicer and that makes it easier for me to go out and run.
Mon - 3.75 mi - down past the baseball stadium and back to the house
Wed - ~4 mi, Palmer Point loop with a little extra added in.
Sun - 10.2 mi, Incline Club workout
Total 18 [...]
Finally got off my ass and went to an Incline Club workout. Got there a few minutes early, ran into a girl that recognized me from the RunnersWorld forums, signed in and then hit the streets. Ran up to Ute Pass Trail, over to Waldo Canyon about a mile in, and then came [...]
Another busy week.
Saturday - 5K; 30:34 (PR)
Sunday - 2.5 mi on treadmill; 33:00 (10 minutes at 10% incline)
5.6 mi; 63 min
Kudos to the RDs for a job well done. Unfortunately, they are still letting active.com handle the business end of things, but it was MUCH smoother than last year. I logged on at about 10 til noon yesterday and after clicking the “register” button a couple of times only to get the “too busy” errors, [...]
It finally warmed up yesterday afternoon and Josh and I headed out to Palmer Park with intentions of tackling the Palmer Point loop. Once we found the trailhead, about a quarter mile away from the parking lot behind the stables, we headed out. The trail is much smoother than the Templeton trail which follows the [...]
