Woke up with pain shooting in my left leg. This thing is more than I thought, I am going to FORCE myself to not run.

Went to the gym, 1 hour spinning class, .35 mile swim. The swim made my leg feel better.

I am really frustrated with this injury in my left hip flexor. Thank heavens I don't have any races planned in the near future.

30 minutes of upper body strengthening.

Sorry about your leg. You should compare your symptoms to Teenas. Hope it is not serious.

You should try running in the pool at waist deep or get one of the bouyancy belts and run in the deep water like the old ladies do!? lol btw, what race is that photo taken? That is an awesome river shot behind you.

Riverton Paul,

I will ask Teena about her injury. I hope it's not as serious as hers. Poor girl.

Walter,

There is a current pool at my rec center where all of the old ladies walk against the flow of the water, I will give it a try! Man, I am aging a lot faster than I thought.

The photo is from Provo Half Marathon.

Bec,

Tell me more about the shooting pain. Is it more of a shock or a stab type feeling?

From Teena on Wed, May 06, 2009 at 12:20:48 from 67.177.20.13

WALTER ... I'M GOING TO KICK YOUR STINKIN' TRASH!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN "LIKE THE OLD LADIES DO!!!????"

YOU FREAKER!!!!

From RivertonPaul on Wed, May 06, 2009 at 12:33:38 from 67.42.27.114

I bet he meant like the old Hotties.

From Walter on Wed, May 06, 2009 at 13:01:39 from 76.27.15.208

Teena geesh such unbridled anger! You really need to get that running going! You know if your going to kick my trash you have to catch me first. lol

Hey Walter & Paul, no talking about OLD around here. Bec has no idea what OLD is. I, on the other hand, am an expert on the subject of antiquity.

Bec,

I am so so so sorry to hear about your leg! That STINKS!!! Teena knows all about pain and being dedicated in rehabing after injuries. I hope it's nothing serious. Definitely no running until you find out what's wrong. Hey, at least you know how to Xtrain. If I get injured, I have to learn how to do all that stuff. Get better soon!

From Bec on Wed, May 06, 2009 at 13:13:29 from 205.123.38.151

Teena,

I am sure that you would put anyone to shame in the pool. 75 minutes of pool running? They should make that an event...you would win. Feel free to kick Walter's trash, he deserves it.

The pain is more like a stab feeling when I put weight on it. Sometimes when I sleep it feels like a shock feeling.

Smooth,

First off, you're pretty amazing for an "old" lady. Yeah, if I had as much energy as you I wouldn't know what to do with myself. You are not old! Thanks for the support. I'm trying to convince myself that time off of running is a good thing.

From Smooth on Wed, May 06, 2009 at 13:18:04 from 71.36.82.104

Yes, it's a good thing. You have so many other interests and sports that now you can find time for.

From RAD on Wed, May 06, 2009 at 13:26:25 from 67.166.99.8

Bec - go see a physical therapist, they can help you with the problem. Its easy to just take time off and let it 'heal' but if its a problem that needs fixing, the PT can get it fixed faster and help you through the pain so it doesn't come back!!! Thats my two cents.... better safe than sorry. Hopefully there are some good PT's in Vernal, or close anyway.

From Walter on Wed, May 06, 2009 at 15:40:03 from 76.27.15.208

Smooth you are not old!

Oh and Bec, I just noticed the peace sign in your photo. good arent i?

From Teena on Wed, May 06, 2009 at 16:05:58 from 67.177.20.13

Bec,

I would RICE and take a couple of days off and then reasses. :)

(I'm barely learning how to deal with taking time off of running ... so I might not be the best person to ask.) :)

From Bec on Wed, May 06, 2009 at 16:24:27 from 205.123.38.151

Walter,

Yes, that is a peace sign. You are observant. Who knows why I did that for the camera?

Teena,

I will take your advice. It's hard for me to pull away when it feels good, even though it's not completely healed.
