Congrats on a great Boston run Scorch!

@ bob - sweet run in Florence man 😀

Did 6 miles easy tonight after a day off. The shin is not feeling so great unfortunately, even after 2 weeks of tapering. It does settle down after I run on it a bit, but long-term it will be a problem. I'm seeing a physio on Saturday to have it looked at.

Looks like I'll be in the pool leading up to my race 🙁.

I'm having some mildly irritating issues myself with just 1.5 weeks until the start of my 2010 race season. My groin and ankle are fine, but I was having pain in my piriformis area (left side) Sunday and Monday. And yesterday my knee started acting goofy, aches every once in a while. It's not enough to affect my stride but it concerns me when I consider what I'm going to be putting my knee through this year.

I don't want to do it, but I'm resorting to no running for another couple of days. I'll do my strength work and ride my recumbent exercise bike to keep my legs loose. I'd do pool running but I don't have access to a pool.

When is your next big event IB?

Mega - Good to hear your groin and ankle have resolved. I had a tight piriformis some months back but I found that doing pinpoint release with a lacrosse ball really loosened up the muscle. Hope you get that sorted out, as it may be contributing to your knee aches.

I agree man, I really hate having to take unscheduled days off. The exercise bike is good for cross training but I really think pool running is more specific to running. I'm lucky to live close to a pool.

This injury is at the point where it hurts to walk on it much of the time. It's also causing some nasty compensation issues with my VMO (inside quad) and achilles so I must have it looked at. It's encouraging that the pain is not constrained to a specific part of my shin, and it settles down after a rest day, but I need to give it a few days off at least.

My next event (and my planned peak for this cycle) is the Vancouver Marathon on May 2. Worst case scenario, I could probably pool run for 11 days until the race, but I'll see what my physio says on Saturday.
 
I went to the physio this morning and I've been diagnosed with tendinitis on my tibialis posterior. Nothing to do with my shins at all.

It'll be icing, stretching and rolling on the arch of my foot to get recovered. While she says it'll take 4-6 weeks to recover, she knows I'm going to go ahead and race next weekend anyways. I'll just be in the pool leading up to it, that's all.

FML...just hope I'm still good for a PR next weekend.

Sorry to hear about that. With the amount you push yourself though I imagine injury is almost part of the game, as it is with pro athletes. Try to take it easy for a while, whatever easy is for someone like you 😉 😀

I've developed something in my shoulder/neck that has been bothering me. It may stem from cutting the lawn a few weeks back when I was holding the weed whip at a strange angle. My shoulder was sore after that. Now ever time I do my walk/run it acts up and the pain goes into my lower neck. It almost feels like a tendon as well. It may also have to do with the fact that the treadmill I'm using is in a room with a low ceiling and I have to duck my head slightly to walk on it at the 10% incline, over time this may be causing strain. I'm going to move the treadmill today and see if that improves things. It's getting worse now that I'm doing 2 exercises a day (only this month).
 
+8 today.

Legs kinda tired because I'm an idiot and played racquetball for 2 hours last night, during my taper :\

Thanks Locut0s and bobsmith. Injury is always a risk when you push your limits, despite stretching, massaging etc. I'll look after it and continue with non-impact cross training until the race and then let it totally recover after the marathon.

Loc - yea, maybe move the treadmill. I don't think the "Quasimodo" approach is the best method 😀

That sucks, hope you recover ASAP :\
 
I've added it up and I have 64 miles to add to the total.

IB, sorry to hear about your injury. Be smart and rest up so you can get back to training sooner rather than later!

Mega and allies, good luck in your upcoming races! We want to hear all about them!

I resume running (3 whole miles yay!) on Tuesday.
