Thanks Dia. Great to hear from you, and I hope all is going well with you.

Wish I could say the same for me, but I'm afraid I am at the point that I can no longer handle limboland. We are making NO progress, just existing. Time to shake things up a bit - who knows where that will lead to, but it's either closure (that she apparently refuses to move towards) or working on the M.

Would love your perspective.

GIMA,

I feel unfortunate to be part of your club. Right now, I can see myself where you are in the spring. Our W's doesn't realize how good they have it now. I suppose I need to totally detach if this tough love thing is going to work. I hope you can shake up things and your W sees the light soon. I'm here to support ya no matter what happens. Hang in there.

Thanks Tridoc. I am here to help out as well as much as I can.

Just tired of DB'ing and waiting for something to happen. Time to MAKE something happen, whatever that is.

Sitting here looking at half-marathons I can do next year. I need a long range goal. I have done 1 marathon with a fun overuse injury (ilio-tibial band syndrome) in my knee and several halfs.

HMarys and Marys..... Sounds like a great goal. ITBS ..It sounds to me like you ramped up the milage too fast. A foam roller on the ITB helps a lot.

Start with the halfs the build slowly. Running is healthy and you get a big endorphin surge from it. You are on the right track. Keep thinking that way.

Definitely get the endorphine rush and the side benefits. History of heart disease and type II diabetes in my Dad's family (actually was the end of him) that I DO NOT plan to repeat.

Been a runner pretty much my whole life even though I am trapped in an ex-offfensive lineman's frame.

You are dead on on the cause of the ITBS -that is exactly what happened. Ramped up too quickly and knew better, but did it anyway. So, what else should I have expected.

Lost about 25 after the bomb - this D stuff will take it off. But, I want to drop another 15-20 in the next several months. Running and weight lifting regularly since the bomb. All good.

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.

Not too worried about that one (or did I mean TWO). wink grin

Although, when I run in races, I like to use this particular problem as "motivation" to keep up. laugh

Midfull, I hope GIMA doesn't have to worry about that. If so, maybe a manbra like that Seinfeld episode would help :-)

And, no, I don't have to worry about that problem.
