Helloooooo?????
I am on a bit of a walk break since the Toad. I have done a lot of walking and a ton of races this summer, I am tired! I am going to the gym, working on my cycling legs for MTBing next summer. The plan is to do some MTB races next year, but really need to work on my climbing strength.
I am heading off to the sunny south for a couple of weeks, I will take my walking stuff and Garmin, see how many km's I can clock while down there. I keep telling people after yesterdays snow, "I am not coming back, see you in the spring"!

hmm... am i the only one reading or posting here?
dragged out the RACING PAWS (new set of rubber asphalt paws for the nordic poles) last sunday and did the 5k at niagara, zippy time for me with a PB of 57:37 .. its taken me YEARS (literally, years!) to get from the 60minute mark down to this awesome time of 57 and I'm still basking in it .. and taking it easy with some "level" 2ks at lunchtime these days (used to do 3ks up/down hills), letting the legs settle down and get back to normal ... off to tackle trails at Sulphur Springs (Dundas/Ancaster) on Saturday, should be fun!

Is this turning into the Mischa and Suez thread? where is everyone???
I am here in the sunny south, the beach is fantastic, DH is getting geared up for IM on Saturday, and life in my little world is good.
I have not taken may garmin out, but have been walking 1 hour down the beach, and 1 hour back. Can't really tell how far that is by time.....the shell collection is growing, the bit of wave action earlier in the week have tossed a lot of fantastic shells up on the beach, so more of a saunter than a full out power walk.
Will do the 2 hour walk again tomorrow, but Saturday will be busy being sherpa and bell ringer at IMF, long day, but sooooo worth it!

I'm here but not able to walk until toe surgery all healed and not bothering me wearing shoes. Can wear my runners but not for very long.
Trying hard not to notice wearing shoes but right now sitting at computer bare feet with wiggly toes
In time, in time I will be back on the roads. Bear with me - I promise......

I am with Karen, taking a bit of time from walking, no injury, just need a bit of a break.
I have been enjoying the gym, but I have no idea how people can train on a treadmill, now I know how my hampster felt. The weights are fantastic, but one mile on that treadmill is about all I can take.
I need a goal, so will start training for "something", December 1st, will look to see what is out there for the spring, something different, not the same old, same old. There is a 25km trail race in my area around the 20th of April, maybe that should be my goal. Hummmm, wonder why it is called MUD Puppy?????

I have been having physio for what was thought to be PF but now
as no better have been advised to see a ortho foot surgeon.
After 6 treatments it is not really any better. There is a lump at the inside of the right heel which hurts when touched. My PT thinks could be a bursa and does not want to treat anymore until seen by a surgeon. Perhaps a cortisone shot will help or ....who knows what? Now ------- how darn long will I have to wait to see the surgeon? Not more than 3 weeks, I am told but....it is to get into see my own family doctor to get the referral.
Achh....the darn medical system
anyway, not on the streets yet I am so tempted just to get out there but I know two houses later I would be almost crawling home.
Take care all - remember, Nana is watching you all so be good..heehee
