    Thanks, and good to see you starting to gear up again
    Been going every other day, just three miles.  Waiting for PT to call back for schedule so I can consult with him

    Thinking about getting and mixing in an elliptical, although I haven't enjoyed when done in the past.  I know that is non impact and can be a very good workout.

    Good luck with the PT. I used the elliptical a while back when I was having ankle pain. I used it for about a week. I didn't love it either, but I have to say the workout was good - so it is still good for your cardio to use it. I also liked using the rowing machine, but am not as good on it. I know that doesn't help with training for runs, but it is a good substitute for running if you want to keep up your cardio. I agree it is not as enjoyable. It doesn't scratch that running itch for some reason.

    Happy New Year to all my running friends!! I finished my last run of 2021 this morning. According to my running app, I ran 664 miles this year with an average pace of 10:25. I know that that is not much compared to some of you. However, it is a big improvement over the year before for me. I want to thank you all for you motivation this year. You have really helped to keep me going during this shit show of a year or two - especially @F Me In The Brain and @beano.79. You guys are amazing. Have a happy and healthy New Year. Keep those running injuries to a minimum.

    That is awesome, great work, M!
    Much love to you and to all of the contributors in this thread, with a special shout out to @beano.79, as well.  Inspired and motivated by what this group shares.

    I checked and it says 966 miles, for me.  I also was on the shelf for 90+ days, 30+ at the start of the year with my ankle and 60 here, recently, with the knee.  A cool way to look at it.

    Guessing there are some much larger numbers in this group!
    I ran at 4am yesterday in 40 degree weather.  Only three miles, but I loved it.  Shorts and a T!

    Monday it is meant to be windy and low 20s.  I'm guessing I will need full gear for that one.

    Monday after work I see the PT for knee and finger.  Fun!

    Happy New Year, friends!

    Happy new year guys! 

    Got my first 2022 run in today with my daughter on her bike. Also ordered a second pair of trail shoes as I'll need 2 pairs for Arran, and even if I didn't need 2 pairs? So fucking what... getting new running shoes is cool as.... 😂

    Great job this year, B. even with all the forced time off. Good luck on Monday with the PT. Hoping that will help get you back to where you want to be. Keep us posted.

    Nice that you got a run in today. I am having a lazy weekend. I will get back out there on Monday. New running shoes for a new year. I am about ready for a new pair as well.

    I'm having a lazy quarter. Maybe even 4 months.

    Happy New Year everyone! Been a while.

    Went to a sports medicine dr today who told me not to run anymore because of my 2 stress fractures. Getting a 2nd opinion next week. I'm not convinced I shouldn't run, just wanted advice on how to prevent the fractures going forward.

    Sorry to hear that.  
    Hope the second opinion is one more in line with your hopes.

    On the plus side my regular Orthopedist said I can start running again (although to take it easy for now).

    Soundtrack: Hamish Hawk (check them/him out) and Ghost.

    90 minutes today. Plenty of muddy hill reps. Feels great to get the pack out again and get back on it properly. 

    This is the 3rd fucking time I have started training for this event so fingers crossed for a better covid forecast heading into the spring.

    Good luck!
    You run with those on?  Interesting.   My in ear units hate the really cold weather, so when below freezing (like this week) they have issues. 

    Had to dreadmill yesterday as the snow and ice was thick.  Hoping some rain today washes all that away and I can be outside tomorrow.

    I do prefer running in over ears rather than in ear. It can be an issue in the hot weather and in that case I'll switch to in ear.
