I RAN

Nice, UT! I'm not sure, however, I understand your celebrating your new fitness with "got wasted last night." But hey, if you can handle it, more power to ya!

Good for you man! The hardest step is the first step out the door so keep it up!

That's awesome! I don't really think my issue needs it's own thread, so I hope you don't mind if I piggyback on yours. I haven't been able to run in several months. Walking became painful, so I finally broke down and saw a doctor. Apparently I have "posterior tibial tendon dysfunction" in my right foot, which basically means the tendon that supports my arch has shit the bed. What's worse is my left foot is starting to feel like my right foot used to, so I guess it won't be long before the left foot goes to shit, too. Doctor has me in a brace and on some anti-inflammatories which helps. Not sure what else to do, I'm not one for sitting on the couch, I have too much going on. It seems sitting for an extended period makes it worse when I finally do get up(like in the mornings after being in bed). I'm not big on medication, especially pain medication. I think pain is there for a reason, and I think masking it with medication just provides a false sense of wellness which would cause further damage. Anyone ever dealt with this? Any tips to getting back to normal?

My wife just ran in the New York City Marathon! It was quite an awesome thing to watch and experience with her.

I just ran down to the packy for some whiskey and smokes.

Cheers mate! Did Solveig show you my lovely new helmet?

My dad has been an avid runner for a long time ,he has had a few minor knee surgeries, he is also very excited when he is able to get back out and run. He almost always comes back from and injury and continues to push himself to the point of another Injury and starts all over again.

Did you?! I'll have a look in my inbox
