It could be a labral tear, it could be a stress fracture, it could be (unlikely) a sports hernia, or it could just be a really stubborn hip flexor strain.I think the "bump" is just congenital. I imagine that all the running would just speed up the onset of symptoms.
58 and partly cloudy here. Should be able to leave work today early to get in a run.
What did you wear on your hands? I have, like, 6 different pairs of gloves and mittens and my hands still always get cold.
44 this morning, it was glorious. Back to cold weather tomorrow but today rocked. Should be a run on French toast supplies today, threat of snow flurries
I wore a pair of ski gloves on Saturday anticipating 9° temps. Turns out it was closer to 20° so the gloves were soaked. HTF do I dry them out? Throw em in the dryer with all the rest of the clothes? I'm worried about ruining them, super warm gloves.
I don't know about care.
Use the exact same boot dryer that I've been recommending that you guys get to dry out your wet/sweaty running shoes.
Hoping for this.

I'm still working out a system, but I try to keep the balaclava over my mouth for about 4-5 mins at a time then remove for the same period then switch back once my face starts getting cold again. After I'm warm I usually just cover my chin, but in these conditions I may never get warm enough. Like you, breathing is challenging with that thing if I have it over my mouth + nose after a while.
When it's really cold like it is now, the finger holes are $
It might not be the exact pair, looks like it, but trust me the ones I have are thick. They're like hunting gloves. The open flap is what makes them great. Hands inevitably get too warm after a while, so flip them open for a couple-few minutes, cool them off a bit, and then seal it back off again. Makes it easier to skip songs on slacker if one I don't want to listen to pops on too.
Thank you. The website from your picture takes 15-26 days for shipping, so I'll pass on those. However, found something similar here: http://www.amazon.com/Heat-Factory-Fleece-Lined-Gloves-Pocket/dp/B00CEW28NE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
[i can picture SF Duck just shaking his head at this whole discussion.]
I'll look tonight. I don't know if they have a brand on them or not, as I recall I picked them up on a whim because they were waterproof & cheap. Warmest gloves I've ever put on, even during just normal wear my hands sweat in them.
I think Asics gloves are made for people with midget hands. I ordered a pair of XL mittens from them a couple of years ago, and they were still way too small to wear comfortably. Gave them to my wife and they're okay for her.
My hands get uncomfortably warm after 3-4 miles even in pretty cold weather if I'm wearing mittens. They're so much warmer than traditional gloves.
I wear a similar pair on cold days. Mine are a thinner felt type material but they're plenty warm and there are warmer versions. That style is awesome.
I had full intention of spinning this afternoon, but with it over 60 out now, I'm heading for a trail run.44 this morning, it was glorious. Back to cold weather tomorrow but today rocked. Should be a run on French toast supplies today, threat of snow flurries
First off, no, we're not messing with ya. I don't know that there is a middle ground. Either you get something breathable - like the Icebreaker mittens pictured, or something wind/weather resistance like the Gordini Gore-Tex. When gloves or mittens are non-breathable, the heat that builds up inside can't escape ...hence the sweaty gloves or mittens after the run. Taking them off mid-run makes it a little hard to pull back on because of the sweat. In the nasty cold, it seems a few of us lean toward that option rather than something thinner that lets the frigid temp cut through. (It's a whole different story, though, if you need to be able to control a touchpad for music, etc. ...then you might want to tolerate a lighter glove.)
Looks pretty similar. Mine are about 6 years old so not sure of exact model. Mine are split like spock hands. Two fingers and two fingers. I have seen models where it looks like 3 and 1.
If you're anything like me... when you're past the aerobic building phase.So, finally received the heart monitor today, so tonight was the first go with it. Going by the Phil Maffetone formula, it says I should be at 136. Now, this was quite the eye opener once I started (and frustrating). I was able to maintain 136 on flat or downhills, but ended up at around 148 or so going up hill. I pretty much had to walk to get it down to 136 on the hills. Only ran three miles, since it was cold and I was going SLOW.
So, I'm assuming I calculated that right. So, how long before I can go fast again?

Did you do an assessment? 2 miles on a track after a warm-up, at MAF.
Yeah, I'm mixing in some pace runs, tempo runs, some interval training, hill repeats, etc.
These seem pretty identical to what I have. I love them. It is my 3rd pair of them dating back to 1995. Lost one pair and ruined the other smoking a cigar.Juxtatarot said:

I was literally shaking my head reading through the glove discussion. I own one thin pair, which I bought the day before Western States 2 years ago when the forecast called for "cold" weather, which was in the 40s. I have worn them several times this winter for morning runs...usually with short sleeves and shorts, just because my fingers get cold sometimes.
I run with something like these:Juxtatarot said:
This. The resistance is constant (unlike outside) so you never get an micro-breaks. I don't know how anyone sits on a trainer for 100 minutes. Just load up on a 4-5 relatively high cadence 10 minute sets at 92-98% of LT and call it a day.
Nope, you're going to have to fly out to Chicago and join Tri-man and me.Raleigh Rock n Roll Marathon and Half in April already sold out. I was thinking of doing the Half.Any of you have any luck trying to get into a sold out race? Either by transfer of entry or otherwise?
DO IT, DOUG!
That is a nice block. Slow is a relative term...I'd be at 13-14 miles over that timeframe.
