Morning run, Windy, Temp 62'

I didn't notice my tendonoitis on the up hill but on the down hill it was raring its ulgy self. I ran the up slope miles in the same time I ran the down slope miles just so my tendonitis wouldn't hurt as much. My doc. said it was probably the down hill that caused it and to stay away from down hill running for awhile.

The Doc. started me on my cortoson type pills Friday. Hopefully, the pills will kick in and at least temporarily take care of the problem as I try to stretch out the tendons.

I'm not use to running 10 miles any more. I was getting tired at the end. I've run more miles by Sept 4th than I ran the entire month of August. Hopefully, my body can handle the quick pickup into running mode.

Time 1:26:45, Mile avg. - 8:35

Glad the uphill worked for you Terry but too bad about the dang downhill. Hope things keep improving so you can enjoy SGM and won't be wanting to run the course in reverse.

So do you think it was the downhill of your 24th of July 10K that triggered this whole thing?

After reading more about it and talking to the doctor, I think it was the week before the 24th where I did a big down hill run fast and then the next week of the 24th down hill at race pace that triggered it. It hurt for the 1st time the Monday after the Saturday 24th race.

Long distance and down hill are the two primary reasons for runners to get the inside tendon to ache. So be careful as you have been to ramp up to downhill running and not be dumb like me and just bang out two hard down hills without paying the price of gradually working into it. I guess I need to remember I'm not 20 anymore.
