Thanks so much for all the good wishes - I think this last run made it all real... I WILL FINISH!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think there should be a second medal given to the northern folks who run winter races in FL - your determination is amazing!
I'm sorry Hoping it's just a small bump in the road to recovery!I wish I could say the same. My 6 miles left my hip in some pain.
Not happy
Hee hee, commando is my norm but I added some wicking panties under my tights the other day... what a difference in keeping my grumpy flute muscles warm! know now what I'll be doing race day.43 degrees so I decked myself out in a long sleeve pink Fila shirt, a sweatshirt over that and my long running pants with panties underneath (haven't done the commando thing yet and I figured it was too cold for me to try it on this outside run today).:
I think you might really like the Pure line then - they really make a mid- foot strike easy without forcing it like I found Newtons to do.Thanks for all the input on HTTD. I am currently in Brooks and have been thinking about trying the Pure line just to see how I like it. I know I used to push off with my toes a lot, and PT for shin splints showed me that I have a freakish lack of flexibility in my big toes, so I really got into the Chi Running and have tried to consciously be more of a mid-foot runner:
Actually I was telling a friend that my chiro is part MD,part PT, and part psychologist - I always leave there feeling better mentally, too!Congrats Princess V!! Hope you finally have your issues worked out, no pun intended!!
I lovelovelove CW-X! Capris or full. Like wearing a bunch of compression sleeves connected by KT Tape!I know this has been asked before...but what compression tights do the veteran princess runners like and why. Do you like full length, Capri, and do you like one brand over another. I've seen so many my head is spinning. CW-X(?) seems to offer more specific support for Knees and muscles.
I tried my Snow outfit on yesterday... and immediately nixed it. I looked ridiculous! I'm going with all black and a Team Sparkle skirt instead.So here's a question: Who has test-run their costumes yet and if so, where?
