Try MEC. I was able to get Moving Comfort ones in that size range.

My go to brand is Shock Absorber - I used to get them at The Bay, not sure if they still carry them.

Mine is due to my pelvis being off. Tight hip flexors is a part of it. I found a good physio who does ART and it has helped a lot.

Just a short swim.

My FIL is 81 and is more active than my husband.

He rides his bike all over the city (he has worn out a few bikes). He will ride 30km round trip to his brother's house for coffee.

I want to be like him when I grow up

Yeah for no pain!

Unless the fit is waaaayyy off (which is unlikely), it's far more probable you just need to get used to the rotated/forward position of a road bike vs a hybrid. I had hamstring issues going from a Specialized road bike to a Trek road bike - both the same size, just one did not work for me. The Trek...

Happy Birthday!

I agree th at something may be off on the fit. I had hamstring issues with an incorrect bike fit.

Sorry, no help here. The only thing that I have use a pressure cooker for is to heat military field rations. I have always had a healthy fear/respect of pressure cookers.

Good luck!

Interesting.

I'm in Winnipeg and did my FORCE test in May, so I'm good

Got VO2Max tested as part of a study for the CF FORCE Test. Running with that mask wasn't particularly pleasant but I did alright I guess; 45 ml/kg/min. The are still doing studies for the FORCE test? When I did mine in may, they were explain the new incentive categories. I thought that all the tes...

How does a person know if they are a geek or not? 10k part trail, part pathways with a very handsome guy! (I think he's handsome). A geek is completely obsessed with one or more subjects, and can speak fluently on it for hours, sounding like a walking encyclopedia of geeky facts. https://www.daysof...

Gross muggy here. Only 23°C so far here, but the humidex is 30°C.

It is supposed to go up to 26°C here today and the sun is starting to come out, so I fully expect melting when I leave work in a couple of hours.

Might go swim tonight.

Woohoo! Congratulations

Spirit wrote:I was really happy with my run this morning as it was at 11:45 per mile. Imagine, it is normally about 81F and humid at 5 in the morning. I had for the summer given up on breaking 12 min per mile. But, without any thought, I was running fast this morning. For 45 minutes.

Nice!

After a dreary morning, our blue sky has reappeared

Most likely a walk with the dogs and some yoga tonight.

Congrats!

Rest day for me. A little sore and slightly bruised from playing with sandbags yesterday.

I manage perfectly well with a Speedo. Although it may not support you while walking around or standing on deck, you don't really need "support" while your're swimming! That's true. I find for me it's an ego issue. If I'm self conscious (even more than just being in a suit would make me) ...

You are hard-core!

It was still a real snake! Ick!

Just saw this on FB: Important update regarding #IMTX: Due to the severe weather in the Houston area, we have activated our pre-determined safety plan. Athletes have been and are continuing to be stopped at timing mats and directed to the nearest safe shelters (including the library, parking garages...

Cold and dreary in Borden, so I opted for the pool. Had a nice swim.

On a related note, I offered to (legally) transfer my half marathon bib to a friend since I won't be able to run. He said I was being "nazi-like" by insisting on a proper transfer instead of just letting him have my bib. :roll: I am selling my bib for the half marathon in Winnipeg this we...

Been sick since the weekend. Managed to vote in our provincial election and walk the dogs today - good enough
