American River 50

Well I'm in full taper mode, which SUCKS!  On top of that a werid hip pain I had a week ago flared up Monday.  Nothing like having to walk home from a run because of pain.  It's some sort of strain right where my thigh meets my nether region.  It's a fun sort of stabbing ice pick in the leg type pain, just what I need right now, SIGH.

I'm doing the normal R.I.C.E routine and Vitamin I to clear it up.  It feels better today so I'm upbeat it will be good by Saturday.  Sitting at my desk does not help so I'm trying to get out of the office more.  It's an interesting spot to hurt.  Nothing like laying ice near the nether region to wake you up.

*** Note to my training group Peeps*** 

I found some 2009 AR50 pictures, note the disembodied hand giving me a PBJ.  Remember to eat.

  1. There you are! I've missed your blogs! :-)

    Sorry to hear about the hip pain. Remind me AFTER AR50 to share with you what I read on someone else's blog about the same pain. :-)

    Oddly, I woke up today to some crappy knee pain. I haven't any issues all week and then BAM this morning it was there. Grrr. Stupid taper week!

    See you tonight! I think I might a little sad about our last workout! :( - TM

  6. Who ever told me to get the knot out of my calf should be shot! That resulted in the inability to walk for a bit......it's tight, hurts after i sit, and there's pain when i run. Love it! That'll give me something to think about other than my burning quads on Saturday.

    It's 'go-time'!
