I went out for 1 1/2 hours yesterday after a 45 minute run the day before to test my hamstring. Everything felt right those two days so I went for 1 hour...
Hi Chuck!!! How's the hamstring?? I'm so excited to know you're doing the marathon too. I know Yuli is doing the half. The day I ran 14.5 miles (I love saying...
Kim, I read your entry about the pain in your leg. I am a Physician Assistant and runner. I worked in Orthopedics for a long time, and it sounds like you may...
Hi Krista, Thank you for answering. I am so upset. I really don't have any other choice but to not run until it heals. I can't believe this happened so close...
Hi Kim, Don't worry about it. I was reading the other Kim's email and she's right. You don't want to push the injury. I had a sports medicine doctor tell me ...
Chuck, When you say to drop to the half marathon, do you mean me or you? I feel like if I can't do the whole thing, I don't even want to be near Sarasota that...
Hi Kim, I meant me and you. Really the 1/2 marathon is okay to do. I've done them before and really enjoyed them. I remember one called the Wa-Wa-Zo-Ha in...
Chuck... I don't want to sound like a baby but I will be inconsolable if I can't run the whole thing. I ran 14.5 miles the other day, I know I can do a half. I...
Hi Kim, You are very welcome. I totally understand your anxiety about the race, and the physical and emotional investment you have put into your training thus...
I joined the zoomers website months ago....cause I was wanting to do some running down south...so I read your posts a lot, even though I am not part of your...
Hi Kim... In my opinion...if you are injured dropping to the half doesn't make a difference...regarding the injury. Now if you are planning on resting and...
Thanks Steph and Chuck, I went to the gym this morning and saw Jim and Mike. I can walk normally and even do some lunges with a minimal amount of pain, so we...
Hi Kim, I wonder what your shoes are like? Sometimes, I examine my shoes when I get a lower leg injury. It's my signal that it's time to look for other...
Hi there Chuck! I'm so happy to hear your run went well, that's GREAT! So will you go for the full marathon now?? I have never golfed. This will sound funny, ...
Hi Kim, I don't really golf. My dad was a big golfer and he showed me the fundamentals. I really don't like it because golfers seem to be uptight people....
LOL Chuck! Golf just isn't for me either. I do love tennis though! Never anyone to play with, I used to hit the ball off a wall at the park. I haven't done...
Hello This race looks like so much fun and you don't have to be a hard core triathlete to do it. It's the Nautica South Beach Triathlon on April 13 in South...
LOL...I need to get this marathon under my belt before I commit to anything!!!!! But you're right, it sounds like something I might try after I recouperate!!!...
I sent this yesterday but Comcast had an issue and it did not go through. I'm sending it today. I wouldn't live with the kids because they lived in my house...
Hi Chuck, I'm so happy to hear your feeling so good! So what's it gonna be....the half or the whole shebang???? I think my muscle is all better, I'll run 3...
Hi, I had trouble with my email service this week. Seems that Comcast determined that my computer was a source of spam. It was my daughter who sends out...
Hey Chuck, I'm SO HAPPY you're ham is better. That's fantastic. I'll see you at the Festival Run. Well, I'll see your back as you're running way ahead of me...
Hi Kim, I think that an achilles is harder to run on, though. If I kept my form, I could run okay and knew when I was loosing it by my hamstring's reaction. It...
Chuck, I wonder if I can find something like that for my shoe? I'll check that out! I was pretty unhappy all day thinking I'd never run 20 miles tomorrow, but...
Hello Join us for the First Annual Nautica South Beach Triathlon presented by Toyota on April 13, 2008! The race starts with a ½ mile ocean swim, followed by...
Awesome job Chuck!! You should have picked up my packet and used my chip, I wouldn't have minded a 20 minute time in a 5K on my record.....LOL!!! I'm so happy ...
Hi Kim, The thing that I notice is the dry, dry mouth. It's like my tongue is made of sandpaper. I don't feel that good either and I'm not sweating as I...
Hey Chuck, Ok, I never get a dry mouth. I also don't drink anything during a 5K. I ran a 4 mile race once and I did grab water at a water table half way ...
Hi everyone, If you haven't signed up for the Boca Grande 5k this Sunday you can still go online at www.active.com and sign up until the 22nd. This is a great...
