I was thinking along similar lines. I regard 78 as 'comfortable' for running - though admittedly I am not running 26 miles :)

I knew the real info on the hernia issue would be here :rolleyes: Off to bed now...have a 9 miler planned for the morning....even though it's going to be a frigid 59 :unsure:

I wouldn't make any decisions about future races until after your surgery - and don't hurry back no matter what.

Well crap, that's not good at all.When to run after a hernia

OK, I see where you're coming from. However, you cannot really call Austria an ally either since it did not exist following the invasion and annexation by Hitler in 1938 (Anschluss).

:confused:

Amazing how the vast majority of the world's Physicians turn out to be completely wrong. :goodposting:

Depends what you mean by 'before'. Day before was no drink at all. But did drink more than normal in days 4-8 before the test.I do pretty good on refined carbs (never add sugar to anything) and almost exclusively have whole grain/wheat bread etc. I never miss breakfast - Oatmeal every morning...

Can't remember the breakdown from Test 1 (I think I still have it at home though). Test 2 breakdown:HDL: 43LDL: 154Triglycerides: 94

Has anyone seen a dramatic change in cholesterol in just a few months: Test 1 - November 2009 - Total Cholesterol 154 Test 2 - This week - Total Cholesterol 216 Now, I must admit I have not done much exercise in last 2 months and I am weighing about 10 pounds more than in November. My new...

Got home yesterday evening and hadn't had any pain all day, so, after a short 'discussion' with my wife, went out for a short 3 mile run :rant: Felt a little weird at first on the Doc's insert but soon got used to it and more importantly felt no pain in my foot. Even so, I am going to take...

So, went to the Podiatrist today and he x-ray'd my foot again. Definitely not a stress fracture, just a matter of pressure on one of my metatarsals. So he shaved off some callus and gave me some inserts designed to take pressure off the ball of my foot. He said if I'm not in pain I can run -...

Well, this is confusing. Your back and legs were too sore to run three miles but you worked for an hour and a half in the yard? :wall: Seems to me a 6 mile run would have been gentler :rolleyes:

Still none the wiser on the music (?) :) (Must be my age!)Still, good job on the time - see what you can do when you are not distracted by music in your ears? :confused:

Thanks 2Young, that's encouraging to hear. The way I am looking at it right now is that I was never going to break any records this winter anyway, so a few months rest isn't going to change much. In the meantime, I'll do some low impact exercise and hopefully keep my weight under control.
