Continue running and avoid knee surgery. Personal: I got back into running in January 2007. Lost 35 pounds and keep trying to follow my high school track/cc son around. Soon found out that coaching was a better choice. Ran semi seriously in high school ( 4:30 ish mile), but had done no running in 29 years. I think I'm back and complain heavily when not allowed to run.
Take Shape for Life helped me lose 25 pounds after I had been a runner for a number of years and my half marathon time clearly reflected that.....I must add that I feel and look way more like a runner. |

4 easy.
Actually since the painful run on December 3rd, I have been using the eliptical only. I try to maintain a 9 mph speed with 11-13 difficulty. I decided, using a number of criteria, that I would use the equvilent of 12 minutes on the eliptical equals one running mile. Tomorrow I am going to try a slow easy run to see what happens.
Basicily I really hurt my plantar or had a stress fracture in my foot. The pain was intense and any running at all was not possible. The good news besides the foot feeling better if not perfect is the knee is no longer in pain. I have full range of motion without pain. Rather than a torn meniscus I now suspect strained medial ligament was the problem, that would never heal with 6 or 7 days running every week. This break reminds me that one needs to be careful with injury as well as confirming that the gym machines are at best a necessary evil. I look forward to a new year and a return to the roads and trails of our great land. | | Add Comment |

First run in 28 days! Clear, cold and icy conditions perfect to get out on the road and trails again. I quickly found out why the eliptical machine is not the same as running. My back started to hurt and my legs started complaining within about 3 minutes of starting. My breathing was in line with a fast pace but alas all I was doing was an 8:57 average although the snow and ice helped that seem harder than that. All in all though I am thrilled to be back running again, and if the knee and foot do not complain too much tomorrow morning I will start a 3-4 day a week running program.
Conditions around here are like in the 2008 user award video winner on Flotrack. It is a great video of a great local (my sons school division anyway) runner- Trevor Dunbar of Kodiak- running in typical conditions in the fall-winter-spring. Pretty good video! | | Comments(2) |
