Booooo! Man, sorry to hear this!Knees-about the same. Hip is just horrible. I thought the break from working out might do it some good but NOPE.

Oh no...that really does stink. Wish we lived closer, I would send Dan straight over to check you out. With the rest and not feeling any better, I would get that checked out as soon as you can.
Jill-if you can get here, my home is open. If you need some place for the kids to hang out for a few days-I am a great babysitter! We have plenty of electronic devices to keep them busy. I could meet you half-way. Honestly, let me know if I can help in anyway. and Happy Birthday to Lil JillC LI!

And Lil Jill C LI (Elissa) had a wonderful and memorable 11th birthday. Thanks again for your generous offer.
You could stand in my house and get a whole body ice treatment at once! lol
Anytime on the offer. We have to plan to meet us face to face one of these days!
13.25 miles this morning. Really good run. I kept having to slow down to get the benefits of a long run. Came in around 2 hours.
Also, around mile 6, Johnny F'ing Redneck was driving down the street in an old 70's pickup. I got off the road (running against traffic, not on a side walk for about 1000 yards to the next community) and when he started approaching me, he veered towards me and acted like he was going to hit me. I was 2 feet in the gravel grass over from the white line, and he came over the white line almost off the road. He was looking me dead in the eyes so i know it wasnt an accident. I stopped dead in my tracks waiting to see if I was going to have to dive into a ditch to my left which was about 10 feet down. Once he passed me, I figured I needed to communicate to him on his level, so I gave him a very spirited 2 finger salute... and Im not talking about a peace sign.
Jerk! Next time, Im getting tag numbers. I have seen him before.
They are out there. My driver's Ed teacher always told us assume every driver is an idiot.
I'm back. Thanks to Joel for checking in and giving a quick update.
Nutshell: neighborhood is destroyed. My basement is destroyed, but friends and neighbors lost their entire houses.
Working all week cleaning and working with contractors to repair my house and replace appliances.
Yes, Joel is right when he quoted me: F the NYC marathon. Not the time to take cops away from real work, and to host thousands of people during this s--t.
I'm ready to run at least 50 miles tomorrow for fun. Then another 50, and another 50, and another 50...
If you thought I was a machine before, lookout, ultra distance will be obsolete.
Hi Everyone!
I'm BACK! Power was restored at 3:13 am. It was not a fun 5 days without power/heat but I have to say I had it easy compared to a lot of other folks in the area. We had crazy winds that took down many trees/wires but luckily we did not have the rain so no flooding issues. One small part of our fence was destroyed but that was it. I think the hardest part (other than the cold) was not being able to communicate with everyone. I have gotten very fond of you on this board and I was worried about how everyone else in the area was doing. And to those that are in the area and still have no power -The MINGO MOTEL is open for business--hot showers, warm meals, Sunday afternoon football and plenty of Halloween candy (hubby says discounted rates apply ) .
If anyone needs anything please let me know!
Obviously no workouts for me other than a little yoga moves, here & there. Oh, and raking -LOTS and LOTS of raking.

I would really love that. The image I have of you in my head is that 3 second video of you all pumped up before the TOT race! LOL.
Unfortunately, the remaining of my 6-7 miles were polluted with harmful thoughts to this person. It completely ruined my zen running. Oh well, the adrenaline provided me with a negative split the rest of the way though. Love that part.Yikes. That is awful. Hope you can get tag numbers (safely) and bust this human excrement.
Im scared to take those drinks. Do you drink coffee? Is there a immediate high and crash later?It's amazing what 5-Hr. Energy drinks can do to a a person!

I have not done any running since the 5K on the 27th. I've been lazy -- and now seem to be coming down with a cold. Blech.
I'm looking at a 1.4 mile run through Christmas lights next weekend (Nov 17). The Christmas Lights thing is a drive through, and I bought a Groupon for it this year. Looking at schedule, whatever -- I stumbled over this Dazzle Dash. Sounds like fun, and 1.4 shouldn't hurt me too bad. LOL

May have been a little perky?I only drink 1/2 a bottle at a time and only when I'm running 5 or more miles. I don't do coffee/soda so the 1/2 bottle does me just fine. No issues with crasing after.
I DID drink the whole bottle the night of the TOT10M. I was worried I would be too tired to enjoy the Bash after the race. I may have been perky than usual.
Dang, I know I should have copy-righted that!May have been a little perky?
Coyrna on 5 Hour Energy
The Prosecution rests its case.

We are all adults, just make sure we all make wise choices since all our bodies are different and react differently. There is documentation supporting and debunking a lot of stuff out there. Im not getting preachy, I just dont want to see anyone get hurt. I was taking a lot of Advil 2 years ago before my runs to make it through and then read the effects that it can have on your body. So, I quit taking it and ran through the pain until it finally healed. I dont care if Im sitting at my desk or running, energy drinks have always made me a bit nervous. I had a Red Bull once and felt like my heart was going to explode.Seriously, my doc said "NO' on the energy drinks before or during a run. Coffee is OK. Rely on your doctor for advice and tell him/her exactly what you are doing.
Yes it is. Love it.3 miles @ 10:24/mile. Gettin' cold out there!
I couldnt post this fast enough! I knew it would make you smile.Bahahahahahah. Love it!
