2008- I ran a 10K and a couple of 5K's  I guess you could say I'm a newborn runner.

2009- Finished the Hobble Creek 1/2 and the Provo River 1/2  And have done 3 more 5k's

2010 Got my PR with the Salt Lake City 1/2 marathon!!

2010 Ran my first marathon!! TOU! Woo Woo!

Short-Term Running Goals:

Maybe run a few more marathons?? Stay healthy, motivated and consistent.  Races are fun, but unlike the hokey pokey, its not what its all about for me.  Its about health, sanity and feeling great about myself bc I can call myself a runner. :)

Keep Running and  Never Give up!

Personal:

strength, sanity, awareness, confidence, attitude, health, peace, life, and Because I CAN

Erin texted me to meet her at the light but by the time I got the text she had already left. But I ran out as fast as I could anyway to try and catch her. No such luck. Oh well. I need to thank her for getting me out the door bc I wanted to just crawl back in bed and pretend life isn't happening today. :) 

So I have this pain that is right under my left bum cheek at the very top of my thigh. I googled it and it looks like its my hamstring? It's making me walk funny. Its right in the crease where butt meets thigh. What is that? Anyway..it hurts. I'm stretching, but that hurts too.

way to get out and go -- sorry you missed your friend though. good luck with life today. :) mine is splattering all over the place right now, but at least it keeps things interesting and gives me an excuse to wear my cool bike helmet.

allie, I think I edited this right after you commented. Do you know what that is? The pain in the crease where butt meets thigh?? Is that my hamstring? Has this ever happened to you?

From allie on Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 10:39:19 from 97.126.211.101

ah, yes. i didn't see this the first time.

i have had this in the past -- i got it out by sitting on a tennis ball and rubbing it out as hard as i could (painful, yet effective). that should do the trick if it's a knot/tight spot. if it's something else like a strained muscle, ice and NSAIDs are your friends. i think if you can dig down into the spot that hurts and produce a strong pain in the deep tissue, it's likely just a knot that you can dig out yourself. if the pain is more general and spread through a wider area (and hurts more when you engage certain muscles), it could be a strain, pull, tear, etc. i'm definitely not an expert though, so i could be way off. i'm just putting in my cent or two on what i have experienced in the past...

i'm sorry you are in pain and i'm hoping for the best for you!

thanks allie, that sounds exactly right. Like its a deep knot. And the tennis ball thing sounds like it will be "painful yet effective." So ouch..and thank you!!

Good run your kicking a lot of please do not swear lately! Now for your please do not swear...seriously do you not have a foam roller? I know I've asked but I'll be damned if I can remember. I had the same pain it was hard to get to I had to sit awkwardly on my foam roller till I found the spot and rolled back and forth on it. Good luck, next time I may try a tennis ball just for fun lol.

another good week rolling along!

hey, Erin and Cam should come do salmon also - there's a half marathon too.

From Lysa on Wed, Feb 22, 2012 at 17:41:35 from 67.166.122.134

Thayne, don't say "ass" on here. You might get in trouble and they'll shut the sight down again. Last time JD said F.A.R.T. they shut it down. Just a warning.

not true. that's an urban myth.
