Week Ending 04-05-15
I increased my mileage this week and upped the tempo for
the first few days. My quads, hamstring and especially my right ankle were all
troubling me through the week. I got an MRI done on Tuesday and results on
Friday. Nothing unexpected, the tendon that was partially torn is just a
“sliver” now. The ankle swelling and pain is related to arthritis around the
navicular. The plan is to continue running as long as the pain permits and look
into a new ankle brace. Onward!

Hi Dave - I'm a fellow runner in MA, and have followed your blog for some time now as it's great to look at all your stats and throwbacks to races 5/10/15/20/25 years ago. I plan to run Boston in a couple weeks, but have been sidelined for a couple weeks with a bad case of extensor tendonitis. I noticed that you're able to get through many of your injuries while still running (with cross training mixed in). I'm wondering if you could recommend to me some way that I can continue running, from now through Boston, without further aggravating this injury. I appreciate any suggestions you can throw my way. And very best of luck to you in recovering from your current injuries! ~ Jeff
Tricky injury. You should really see a physical therapist (Pinnacle PT in Plaistow is excellent). You don't want to end up not able to run at all. Saying that, I'd recommend doing as much X-training as you can and a little running. You won't lose much base between now and Boston. Good luck!
Thanks! I'll keep chuggin' along!
