roger of ncw email: @: Maybe apply direct pressure for a few minutes, then put some neosporin and a bandaid on it? If it stops, but then restarts later, it may be because she's just tearing it back open when she walks on it. I dunno. I'm not a doctor. But if it were my toe, that's what I'd do.

noel of email: @: E, I'm an IM hack, but my first year I was in really good shape (for me). First 11 miles of marathon were the easiest I had ever run, I was feeling GREAT. But then Ogopogo jumped on my back, and the rest gets really hazy. But I love that course, and especially the "lonely" out and back marathon. Wouldn't have it any other way!

noel of email: @: swoosh! The uphills were difficult, and we walked most of every one, but what felt worse to me was the DOWNHILLS. I think that's what ended my day, I really took a pounding. Some were so steep I had to walk them, and that was difficult to do. Ok, I'm a wimp, I know.

noel of email: @: Only "resolution" I make is "vowing to come back more fit", from a poem about IMC: ... Some of us can run, our legs are fresh and strong. And some of us are done, we wonder what went wrong. Some of us can win the race, be first across the line. Going at a blistering pace, a final burst to go sub nine. But some of us are having trouble, this day not meant to be. Some of us are seeing double, and will need several IV's. Some of us are forced to quit, our day coming to an end. Vowing to come back more fit, but first, some time to mend....

But I was "running" with Lynn and Sue from IL, and I learned 3 things. 1) Walk the hills 2) Be patient when someone is telling a story, because it's a VERY LONG DAY, and long stories help the miles go away 3) Ultra people are good people.

ironmanny of sd email: @: FFO - Pain is subjective, and can be influenced by chemicals or individual tolerance. The system I teach is based on injury, rather than pain compliance. http://www.targetfocustraining.com/ It's useless in social situations (like if someone takes your parking spot or your bar stool). But it's lifesaving if you're in a situation like the Virginia Tech shooting, or the attack in Mumbai. E me if you'd like to learn more or take a live seminar.
