Comment on The foot-The problem by tbrush3

I figured the sooner the better. That shot was a good thing! No pain this morning. I am not a fan of indoor cycling. I need to get a bike! Hope you foot gets solved as well.

Hope the foot comes around for you. My right foot is giving me trouble right now. That kind of trouble I don’t recognize from previous injury. Your posting has convinced me to get it checked.

Indoor cycling is not fun!

I have been thinking a lot about it Rob. I think my strategy is comfortably hard for the 10k first thing on Saturday and then just let it go for the half marathon. I hope if I treat the 10k as a tempo run I might have enough left for the half marathon. For the afternoon races I am likely to be spent though!

That sounds like a unique challenge. I may have to check into that in the future. What’s your strategy of keeping loose during the breaks on Saturday?

I agree. Not sure how excited my legs will feel about starting again for the half marathon.

Another thought provoking post Trey! I am a control freak and LOVE that I control my runs… From dragging myslef out of bed at o dark thirty to pushing through long runs!

I love being in control of my health and my future!

[...] Run on Purpose had a good post this morning on maintaining mental state for getting out the door: One of the things I talk with my oldest son about is the remote control idea to discipline. As any older brother he gets his fair share of being tested by his younger brother. We often talk about who has control of his emotions. Does he give the remote control of his emotions to his brother or does he take charge. [...]

Good way to think about it, and the chiefest problem we all face.

When I was going through my stress fractures, it was so hard to keep myself off of it for healing! My mind would tell my foot, “hey, I the boss here!” So I tried something different: pool running workouts. I was a but skeptical at first but I imitated a running workout in the pool using my legs to run/tread water. Less impact did help give the foot a break while still being able to train.

Comment on Am I losing my edge? by bearrunner

Comment on Am I losing my edge? by Jenina

“Am I losing my edge or getting smarter?” I would say both. Depending on the length of your run and the temperature outside, you know when you can push yourself to run outdoors and when you are just taking the easy route. And I know that because I’m totally guilty. However, when I was running in the snow and had a long run planned, I knew I had to call it quits after five miles because I wasn’t wearing the proper gear, and then finished my run indoors. Remember, you’re only cheating yourself

I am so glad they are going to televise the trials this weekend. I loved the race report from Ragnar!

Love Desiree Trey! She is going to lay something down awfully special this weekend in Houston. In fact, I predict she wins the trial.
