shellfarm Cool Runner	posted Sep-07-2006 07:49 AM Was going to run today but my leg is a little tired...so I'm gonna wait. Steve Irwin...man that is so sad. I just about cried when I heard that. He was such a neat guy and such a good guy! No one ever spoke ill of him. Brought many smiles to me and my families faces. I will miss him!

Irish Patty Cool Runner	posted Sep-07-2006 11:14 AM Hello all, Tom, bad news, from around noon yesterday I noticed a pain in the back of my leg, where I bend my knee. It's not bad, but I'm nervous. I don't recall anything happening on my run, but obviously something did. I'm resting today. I'll do an easy run tomorrow if there's no pain when I wake up. Steve Irwin's love of nature was obvious and contagious, but he was also a bit reckless. His death is a shame, I know he has young children who now will not have their father. Have a good day all.

Rindaroo Cool Runner	posted Sep-07-2006 12:55 PM 1.96 miles walking on the treadmill in 40 minutes. My mind told me I could run, but the legs weren't having that itching to run feeling. Think I'll wait for that. IP - take it easy, rest the leg & hopefully it'll go away. DS started school yesterday & loved it! DD doesn't start til Monday, we meet her teacher today & have open house for DS tonight... still lots of boxes to unpack... maybe I'll wait til next week when both kids are in school Linda IP: Logged

Irish Patty Cool Runner	posted Sep-08-2006 08:22 AM Morning all, Rin I'm glad DS loves the new school. That makes all the difference with a move. With the move and unpacking you're probably very busy, don't try to do too much. Enjoy the new place. Tom your slow is probably still faster than my fast. Don't worry I still haven't registered for the race. I'm waiting for today's run to see how my leg is. I overslept this morning so I'm going to run after work. I think with this post I'll be back to being a cool runner. ( I had forgotten my password and changed email address without changing it here.) Have a good day all. Patty Edited because I obvious need help with spelling. [This message has been edited by Irish Patty (edited Sep-08-2006).] IP: Logged

Rindaroo Cool Runner	posted Sep-08-2006 02:53 PM 1.95 miles walking / 40 minutes on the treadmill this morning. I tried to run & only made it 1 minute.. chest hurt some, diaphragm area hurt too..big signs that the bronchials aren't ready yet, so I went back to walking. Linda IP: Logged
tomwhite Cool Runner	posted Sep-08-2006 08:24 PM RIN//.........40-minutes is 40-minutes...........nice going///// .........sorry the bronchials didn't appreciate it, is it still smoky out there??? ..........hopefully the cooler temps will help....... ,,,,,,,hang in there,,,,,,,, ..........I know, I say that a lot........ ( but it WILL pay off......trust me on that one)...... ------------------ nothing takes the place of persistance.... IP: Logged
hawaiiantk Cool Runner	posted Sep-10-2006 02:50 PM Still no working out for me. Also, no PT this week. VERY disappointed, but what can I do? I feel better physically, mentally though I'm still sad and depressed. I told myself that I could eat/drink whatever I wanted while I was waiting to recover but I got feeling pretty crappy. One night we had Outback (YUM!) and we got the Chocolate Chocolate Tower and it was great. But those kinds of things over several days, plus quite a bit of Diet Coke have left me feeling like sh ite and I'm already done with that thinking. My Grandma passed away Wednesday night. Not something that was unexpected, she was 104 years old! She has said for years that she "wants to go home". It is hard to hear things like that. Anyway, I had to go shop for a new funeral dress (my clothes for those kinds of things are way too big) and the skirt that I bought was a size 6. Made me feel really good because I was afraid it would be huge after this binging and DC bloating. Nope, still hung on to the size 6. Man what a good feeling. Leaving tomorrow morning at 7 am to drive to CA and attend the funeral. Back home Wednesday and maybe then I can run again. IP: Logged
tomwhite Cool Runner	posted Sep-10-2006 05:30 PM HWI//..........sorry this is all hitting you at once,,,,,,,,and 104 is amazing......... ........and yep, even eating everything you want gets old after a while........go figure..........(non-runners do it for DECADES) .........just take the time you need, re-group, and Running will be here when you're ready for it...... .........hoping you get some GOOD NEWS this week....... .................hang in there........ ------------------ nothing takes the place of persistance....

KarenF Member	posted Sep-11-2006 01:44 PM Looks like I need to learn how to do this all over again...work the site and get running ....AGAIN. Missed you all and your mentoring.... It's so hard to go out and huff and puff around the track. I posted this to you ..."Where's Tom White?" but obviously in the wrong place. W/ find my may around again soon. Thanks for STILL being here. >>>>>Now I remember why I had to come back to get started....AGAIN. You remind me of what's it like to run effortlessly up a hill or over an overpass... I miss that 'second wind' when you go from burning carbs to fat and then its smooth sailing. I'm writing to say...tomorrow, I'm getting up and running and watching it get light. ...........myself, I'm always looking for that Second Wind that takes you out of Time and Space on the runs............just You and the Road....... ...........................(of course, getting great Labs on my Physicals doesn't hurt either)...... ------------------ ..........we're heading into Fall...........what do you want to get from your running?? .........and how are you planning to do it?

Rindaroo Cool Runner	posted Sep-11-2006 02:27 PM Boy Hawaii, you have it all at once. 104 is amazing! What a great life she must've had. Did 40 minutes walking on the treadmill this morning. Had some headaches over the weekend & maybe a little congestion, trying to rest & make sure I don't get sick again. The little one is in Kindergarten, rode the bus with her big brother (but he goes to a different school) & then I followed in the car to make sure she got there...lol she did great!! Linda IP: Logged

RIN//........yep, the kiddos always do better than we're afraid they will..... ..........nice going on the 40-min (again)......is the air ok?? you're doing fine, just use your (hard-earned) sense...... ...........ok guys.....one starting back, one plugging along,,,,,,,and Fall will be around awhile...... ...........go easy, .............stop if it hurts ..............soak in a hot bath ...............and something about a Hat ------------------main thing-----------enjoy the work-out-------- ............ ------------------ nothing takes the place of persistance....

way2go Member	posted Sep-11-2006 08:44 PM ..........we're heading into Fall...........what do you want to get from your running?? Hi, I want to get to the point that running is automatic. i want to get through the winter running outside. .........and how are you planning to do it? persistance, slow but sure, 3 times a week for now. And the right clothing/gear. IP: Logged
shellfarm Cool Runner	posted Sep-12-2006 07:15 AM Morning All...ran for 20 minutes on the treadmill yesterday. VERY SLOW (like 14mm) but it felt good. I have noticed that I think I'm turning my injured leg out when I run and that might be causing the stiffness in my leg when I run...any suggestions??? IP: Logged
Irish Patty Cool Runner	posted Sep-12-2006 08:59 AM Morning all, Karen welcome back to running & this thread. Good reason on why to run. Good luck getting back to it. Rin too funny about following the bus. I remember that feeling of worry. Way2go good attitude & 3 days a week is good to start out with & even continue with. Shell for now when you run go slow & concentrate on a smooth, even stride. Make sure to think about how you want that leg to move. It may take some time but it will get used to the new stride. Today was 4 miles with 4 x 400 intervals. My warmup was at a 12:30 min mile pace. My fast intervals were at a 10 min mile pace and my cool down was at 13:30 min mile pace. I have taken over a minute off of each of those miles since I started my HM training in the summer. Now if I can only keep that up. Have a good day all. Patty IP: Logged
tomwhite Cool Runner	posted Sep-12-2006 09:07 AM WAY//..........welcome, how long have you been running?? ........the plan sounds good, and 3-times a week is a reasonable schedule.........just run smart, and don't over-do it at first, you'll do fine........keep us posted on how it's going..... SHELL////........ok, you've identified the problem,,,,,,are you a heel-striker??.........maybe shortening your stride and trying to land more mid-foot will help,,,,,,,,,,,,mess around with it and see if that helps....... .........glad you're getting to run again.........go easy... ............ok guys......a couple of plans in progress, ........and every plan can be modified with how it's going,,,,,,,will Fall here, be sure you warm-up and don't pull a muscle.........and watch your footing when the cold stuff gets here...... .........enjoy the work-outs......... ------------------ nothing takes the place of persistance....

tomwhite Cool Runner	posted Sep-12-2006 09:41 AM IP//...........we double posted//////.............hey, nice work-out......you picked up little speed.........the training's obviusly paying off........... ..........how's the knee doing?? ------------------ nothing takes the place of persistance.... IP: Logged
Irish Patty Cool Runner	posted Sep-12-2006 10:41 AM Tom after that day I didn't have any more pain. I've been trying to cut back a bit. Last week I didn't do any crosstraining so as not to aggravate it. It seems to have paid off. Thanks for asking. Patty IP: Logged
Rindaroo Cool Runner	posted Sep-12-2006 11:27 AM Morning all.. Shell - good advice from the others Way2go - 3x a week sounds like a good place to start. I try to do every other day, easier on the body parts. Tom - the air cleared up late last week, but the last couple of days it seems all hazy again. There hasn't been any rain for awhile. I'm sure when that starts it'll clear right up. Rest day for today, my feet felt sore last night, so thought I'd rest them today.. maybe some yoga later. IP - lol, today I felt better about sending the little one on the bus. Although, I did wait at the bus stop with them... she's trying to figure out why I'm doing that too... Linda IP: Logged
tomwhite Cool Runner	posted Sep-12-2006 08:14 PM RIN///////.........ok, just use September for practise,,,,,,,,we'll get serious after the air clears up....... ...........supposed to be a Cool Front heading that way, maybe it'll help........ ...............ironic, isn't it?? ------------------ nothing takes the place of persistance....

Hi Tom, Im on week 6 of c25k but have been doing it for 8-9 weeks. im very slow but its the only program ive stuck to so its a plus for you guys, hee hee. i have to look on the site for the breathing techniques. its getting colder so when i breathe, I feel it in my lungs. (im very much a newbie at this, but i love it) thanks for the motivation. IP: Logged
tomwhite Cool Runner	posted Sep-12-2006 09:04 PM WAY//..........nice job on the 6-weeks............some of us wrap a scarf over our nose and mouth to heat up the air...... .........stick with it, you're going fine....... .......oh.........and watch your footing if it gets close to freezing.... ------------------ nothing takes the place of persistance....

Rindaroo Cool Runner	posted Sep-13-2006 12:30 PM Yes very ironic! Did treadmill 1.73 miles walking, only up to 2.8 today. Lots of bronchiospasms & had to breathe in really deep to do 2.8.... maybe part of it is that i need to do this consistently for a few days & it will get better. I'm starting to get very frustrated!
