Gayle,

Could the peripheral neuropathy be related to Shingles? I think I read somewhere that those things were linked? I am so sorry that you are laid up!!

I just got back from a 7 mile run. My Achilles Tendonitis was KILLING me for about the first mile!

I have a 10K race this Saturday and then am doing my 2nd 1/2 mary the first weekend in September. I'll get this 10K in the bag and then will have to evaluate what to do for the next month!

cherry..it might be but had it about 5 years ago before the shingles..it could be what is recactivating it. Have an appointment with neuopathy specialist in 2 weeks and a podiatrist next week to rule other things out..also had tarsel tunnel [also can cause neuopathy} So who know...now I have laurengitis and sore throat! YIKES! company comes tommarro

Gayle - any improvement?

I ran another 10K race yesterday. It was really windy, but I killed it time wise for me and finished in 46:49. I was really trying to catch the only female ahead of me and really laid it on the last mile, but I couldn't catch her! So a crappy second place for me. I did place 5th out of a field of 70+ though.

An interesting thing happened after the race. This guy came up and introduced himself to me and he is a physical therapist. He said that I have "awesome turnover" (which I didn't even know what that meant and had to look it up later ) He said that I had "one of the most perfect strides" he has ever seen. So that was quite a compliment. He said that when he heard me coming up behind him he could tell I was a forefoot striker and knew that I would blow past him and that he would never catch me.
