BURNING NERVE PAIN  yikes!!  from the left lower back, piformis etc....to the knee and down around the achilles tendon ending at the side of my foot, pain score 7 out of 10.  Can't do much but stretch and heat pad as I work again tonight.  Last night was busy and painful.   Blah.  Stupid new shoes.  I tried to put on my old shoes again and they just feel too strange now.  Great, now a pair of shoes screwing up my back and my old ones not showing any more longevity.  Time to research for better shoes.   Addendum......but don't think that's going to stop me (I am developing my ultra marathon psyche) I just got back from a 6.5 miler determined to punish my shoes for hurting me by trying to see if the correction lies within me.  I started out easy hoping to run the burning pain away by endorphins.  It worked.  I may pay for it tonight at work but at least after 3 miles I didn't really think of the burning pain but more on my form, accidentally at times gettin into the high 6s in pace so slowed it down.  Tried to figure were my comfort form pace is.  I think it is at 7:12 to 7:20.  That would be my avg pace for my SGM pace last year.  Go figure.   Avg pace for 6.5 supposed recovery run 8:08.  I even have the VP dude turned off.

Oh Julie! I am soooo sorry about the stupid shoes causing you grief! I hope you are resting today. Will Hawke let you exchange the shoes? or at least give you some store credits towards a new pair?

I hope your back gets better over the weekend with some rest. Sorry you have to work again tonight.

Smooth- I don't believe in resting an injury. That's why I am still a NSAIR. I just added to my earlier entry. Surely if I can pound my shoes into submission, I did my last ones :D. Glad you guys had a nice run.

WOW! That's the quickest recovery I've ever seen. Was it snowing? You are so darn smart to figure these things out, the form. WAY to "punish" the shoes!!! NICE speedy recovery run (that's such an oxymoron)! AMAZING pain tolerance! GO PREZ!

Smooth, I read the article in Runner's World last night about Kara Goucher and her ups and downs and her meeting with a sports psychologist. He said to have a key word to think of when you want to quit (or it hurts too much, I added that) and I decided to run thru and see if I could talk my way thru the pain. I may not have an Elite body but I can try to have an Elite way of thinking in my runs. I just push through pain. But its just nerves, so I try to just get over it. I was afraid my injury would psychologically break me so I say to myself "don't let it break you" Julie. Mind over Body, Mind over Body. We already determined I am insane :D.

From Smooth on Sat, Feb 20, 2010 at 19:14:04 from 174.23.239.148

Nice mantra: mind over body. You are insanely tough! You do have an elite psyche! WAY to NOT let the fear break you! What courage you have. K, COURAGE will be my "fight" word when pain hits me!

A fighter you are Julie! I really enjoyed the Kara Goucher article too--it really surprised me hearing about her self-doubt; somehow I though elite runners did not have those struggles. Good to see that the elites are normal people with normal thoughts and normal struggles. Hope your pain is doing better now and I hope you can do something about your shoes!
