After 3 days off I finally felt good enough to run this morning. Yes, both of my calves have been extremely sore since the hill workout on Sunday. I think it was the short hill sprints that I did all out and on my toes. Monday and Tuesday I was so sore I hardly had any push off even when walking. I tried to jog to my car in the parking lot and felt like someone was stabbing me in the legs. Wednesday was better but I slept in. So today Andi and I both got in a run. I did an out and back route for 6 miles in 47:07 (avg pace 7:51).
Here is a cool article about a guy who had run over 20 Houston Marathons in a row and needed a knee replacement not from the running but from years of playing tennis. He found a doc in Houston that had a prosthesis he felt could withstand the forces of running. He didn't want to break his streak. Two weeks after his total knee replacement he was able to run a mile, and 6 months later he kept the streak alive completing the Houston Marathon again. He plans on running again this year on January 18th.

My weight loss has started again...My clothes have been really loose and usually right after that is a weight loss. Down 4-6 pounds in the last 2 weeks or so...the plateau was 6 months....strength training is helping a lot I think but mostly I think its the bike..I am riding 4 days a week with hills, sprints, drills, intervals its a lot. dont have any recent pics but I am hoping a huge weight loss is around the corner...
WOW....was in the tri store the other day and I was told about a triathlete that had a horrible humerus fracture that needed replacement...she is still doing full ironmans with a TSR!! wow!
