lol? except not

So not only did I have an asthma attack so bad I fell off had to get off the treadmill and sit in the corner until I could breathe again... I hurt my knee.

It has hurt for a while, but my sneakers were old, and I've been writing it off because of that.

oops. Looks like I might have IBTS. I'll find out tomorrow when I see if it's still sore.


aaaaaaaaaaaawesome this bodes well for 8 miles


I refuse to let my stupid body own me. I still managed 5 miles today (4 before, 1 in absolute agony), at a 6mph pace. If I cut back a little and add some elliptical, I bet I can keep training.

Aw god jeez arhgh shitfuck ow. D:

I don't have asthma but I do have chronic lungstupid that is usually not so bad but form time to time goes "Oh, y the way *BACKHAND!*" so - yeah.

D: I hope you feel better soon man. Pissy lungs are no fun.

Don't kill yourself!! D: D:

I'm so impressed that even with all these setbacks, you are still out there kicking so much ass (esp. mine because you are light years faster than I will probably ever hope to be lol). You are such an inspiration. ♥

Ugh. I'm finally back to running after months of ankle issues.

Be kind to yourself.

As a side note, I am as far away from marathon running as a 5 1/2 month pregnant woman can be, but due to said fact have been looking into comfortable footwear and stumbled across the whole Vibram Five Fingers Barefoot Running movement thing.

I'm already getting my parents to ship me a pair (it's cheaper in the US than in Europe), but it does make me think - you know how obsessive compulsively I research stuff before I do it - if you run more than 3 miles a day and you're having knee problems, you might want to consider nerd-searching barefoot running, too. There's a metric shitton of debate about whether or not it solves or creates problems, especially in distance runners, but it's a bit like the raw feeding of pets debate. Some people like it and some people don't.

At any rate, they also have "in-between" non-completely-barefoot flatfooted-running shoes thrown into the debate. If you're getting running injuries I thought I'd pass that along for you... in maybe 2 or 3 months, I can also pass along for you whether the toe-shoes really are more comfortable or not, at the least.

AHHHHH if your knee hurts, DO NOT RUN!!!!!

I hurt my knee a few years ago (landed wrong on it running down a hill) but it wasn't so bad so I kept running. It got so bad a few months later that I couldn't bend my knee, and I was out for about a year. It sucks to not be able to run for a year.

Yeah, be careful with the knees! Unfortunately, overtraining is easy to do. I guess this means the Winking Lizard run won't be a go on the 10th? It's fine with me if we don't do it, but if you guys are still in, I'm in.

Hope your knees feel better and your lungs stop crapping out!
