Oh and on another note had a man come up to me in the supermarket today and tell me he sees me running everyday and asked what I was training for and he said that he used to run marathons and ultra marathons (never heard of them??) and that I have awesome dedication :grin:

And he was completey not a weirdo :grin:

Yay for random compliments! \:D/

Sorry to hear about your knee Peachy.. Fingers crossed it heals quickly :nod:

BUMP

So, what did the physio and the PT say, eh? :wink:

Awww I been not doing my journal coz its a lame journal at the moment. :roll: Nothing going on and everything sux haha.

Um well i kinda had to flag the PT coz after my run Monday by Tuesday I couldn't walk so I cancelled that again!!!!!!!!! :evil: Haha think the gym will fire me soon coz I keep doing that. Can they fire members?? :-s

But the physio today was very good :nod:

Apparantly its a "syndrome" which is a bunch of "symptons"...

or maybe it was a "symptom" from a bunch of "syndromes"??? :-s

I can't member but all these things that suck about me are making my knee sore. Here are the ones I can remember:

- ITBs are too tight

- calves are too tight

- inner quad that bit thats just above the knee too weak

- hips too flexy

- shoes too old (the old ones)

- bung feet from pointe shoes ballet dancing

So too stop my knee hurting i need to fix them all at the same time then I should be sweet :grin: Next step is to get orthotics (shame what a geek aye :oops: ) coz my feet all fucked from ballet dancing.

But I had accupuncture today 10 needles!!! :shock:

Thats the most I've ever had......Feeling bit better but yeh not a lot too post in my journal. I don't wana turn into a whi9nger :roll:

aww poor Peachy, i'm sure it will come right, just rest and lower the intensity...

I will be a geek with you, i also have orthotics. damn my stupid biomechanicaly challenged feet! lol

My legs curve out, my feet don't sit flat, my calves were too tight and i would get really bad shin splints, but after a year of rest and orthotics in proper shoes i can run with no pain at all. You will get there.

Oh phewf I not the only one!! Feel like a Forrest Gump :cry:

:wave: hey I got them too! They are AMAZING! I totally screwed my calf muscle running for months without them (i've always needed them, i just never got around to it, and when i increased the intensity of my running my muscles protested, badly). I now have no pain :grin: hang in there Peachy, i totally know what your going through but its worth it. :D

Nothing wrong with orthotics Peachy! I wore some for 18 months, then sweet, all sorted 8)

Gym won't fire you if you're paying your fees :grin:

Acupuncture is the biz. Hope you get back on track soon chick. What's the plan for the interim? More gym work or...? Marathon still on the horizon?

I went to sportsmed a while back and paid about $200-$300 for a pair. All the do is make my feet hurt although the podiatrist insists that's the way I SHOULD be walking... WTF :evil:

Yay we all are like Forrest Gump!! :grin:

Emmzies: Think you me are very alike. We know we "should" do something but we don't do it until something makes us :roll: I knew I needed new shoes....... for about a year..... :oops:

Rose:Yes I'm liking the acupunture bery muchly :nod:

Ummmmmmmm....... at the moment just training arms and abs at the gym and cardio on the bike. Very boring. The marathon will still be on the cards if I'm fixed. Even if I only have two weeks to train for it I'm doing it!!! :twisted:

Becbec: :shock: $300 bux!!!??!! Awww man I hope mine don't cost that... Otherwise the new sunglasses will have to wait :(

have you seen the latest research on knee injuries? it suggests that tissue repair was accellerated 10% in subjects that consumed burgers :pfft:

:think: Interesting research..... might have to give it a go :grin:

Yup, definutly sounds like me. :oops: Oh well, stuff changing. Slackness hasn't killed us yet. :lol:

$300 bux!!!??!!

Um, mine were more than that but it was awhile ago now. Maybe they've come down in price now what with the recession etc. Actually the guy I went to was probably just a rip off merchant :pfft:

umm I paid $70 at sports med about 4 months ago, and i have particually screwed feets :-s

They can be expensive, i had foam added to the insert of my running shoes as i only needed a couple of mm's here and there. Cost about $50 including the podiatrist visit. But my shoes alone are $250. However a real set of orthotics specially moulded for your foot can get very pricey but they will last a fair while.

Ah that must be why. The guy I went to took molds of my feet and I had to wait for the orthotics to be made at some top secret molding place etc. I had to wear them for 18 months and they did last. Really light etc.
