Same weekend (Labor Day weekend). The race is on Sunday, Sept 6th. Yes, so far still going forward.

No, haven't got anything, and just checked their FB earlier today. Latest update from July. I wonder if Meltzer is just referring to the fact that it hasn't been canceled?
I'm still on the waitlist (which they're not clearing until they get confirmation that they're "on"). Hotel booked. If it happens, I'll see how far I can go on half a butt.

Just checked FB and this was just posted on their page:
"Dear Bunnies and Turtles, The county has given us provisional approval, so right now Run Rabbit Run 2020 is a go! Details to follow! Meanwhile start training!"
My PT appointment tomorrow takes on new importance.

hmmm...Never been to an event with aid stations serving anything but beer and liquor.

I was made later that night when I realized I could have added two more miles for a double marathon. :( Next time.

Everything recovered quickly except my left toes. I'd mentioned that I felt my toes moving around too much, and the big toe and the toe that stayed home have lingering issues. The big toe continues to be swollen and painful, though as of last night it seemed a little better. Today I can get it into shoes without excruciating pain. Is all of this anything I should be worried or do anything about?
Thank you so much for asking!

Lake Sonoma 50 has a wine tasting event associated with it, but not sure about the aid stations.

Brutal weather here lately and going forward, 97 yesterday, 99 today, then 102, 98, 96, and 94 before cooling off back half of next week before we go on vacation. Trying to run in the AM and now in full black-out work at home mode. The sun is my enemy these days. Hello darkness, my old friend.

@tri-man 47 actually DID get suspended, ironically. Serves him right for hanging out with the rest of the lefties in the politics thread.

Didn't get my run in yesterday 
, but I was able to get out this morning with temps in the 50s for a solid 10-miler. First mile 8:24, gradually worked my way down to 7:16 by the end. Felt good and in control the whole way, so I was kinda surprised to see that my AHR was 143. Felt more like mid- to high-130s. Oh, well.

Tri-man needs to learn that he can't just go around offering foot rubs to everyone. It will lead to trouble.

I just keep waiting for Lynchburg to force the oak Barrell half to be cancelled. It's in October, and small so there's a chance.
Meanwhile I signed up for a 10 miler in September. Virtual, swim.
Edit - it's not as crazy as it sounds. You get a week, and can use the pool, open water, or even your pool based on time. I expect to use the pool for the most part, might swim part in the river.

Mrs. GM significantly better this morning. Walking without pain and pretty normally (essentially no limp, but has her foot wrapped).
Swelling almost gone, nasty bruise but that's ok. I even ranged her ankle this morning and she was able to move it in all directions without any pain. She'll be fine. Keep her off it this weekend and probably try getting out Monday and see how it goes.

I combined the sandals with compression socks last night and had a legendary dog walk.

No ####? Last guy I would have expected to get the hook. Just goes to show how divisive things are when "happy to give you a foot rub brother" flips out.@tri-man 47 actually DID get suspended, ironically. Serves him right for hanging out with the rest of the lefties in the politics thread.

PT appointment this morning.
Therapist agrees with PA that it's my piriformis that's aggravated, but she thinks that it's a symptom of a weak gluteus medius (sp?). So she gave me a bunch of strengthening exercises to work on to make the latter do its job (and thus the piriformis doesn't have to).
I asked about stretching my piriformis, which I've been doing, and she asked "does it feel better or more pissed off after you stretch" and I said the latter. So she said don't do it.
@SteelCurtain, I see on Strava you're having glute issues as well. Sorry to see it's forcing you to take a break. Care to share your plan for recovery? We can be butt buddies?
ETA: While the facility had a mask policy, a good 1/3 of the patients had their masks pulled off their noses. Probably keeps me from going back, unfortunately.

Well he's only been a great guy and contributing member of this community for 23 years or so, so it makes a lot of sense to suspend someone rather than delete a post or two and ask him to tone it down

Careful now
I think Joe is about done with the childish behavior on the boards that has ratcheted up with everyone having more time on their hands. It's gone from hey tone it down to 2 weeks off, move to the next one, 2 weeks off, lather, rinse, repeat. Shame but I get it.
I'm guessing it's @tri-man 47's first time out so much like the valedictorian that gets the 3 day suspension for doing something stupid that is out of character, he can proudly wear the badge now with the rest of us miscreants

As someone who's always had a nagging right piriformis, I'd highly recommend rolling it on a lacrosse ball. There are also a handful of basic stretches that really seem to help me loosen it up. IIRC, you're allergic to the weight room, but I'm sure a few squats, lunges, RDLs, etc. wouldn't hurt either..Heard while the PT was massaging my butt today, trying to find the location of my pain:
"Ohhh, OK... how about there... is that the money spot?"

I'm just surprised that a member of the 99.9% majority over there was actually taken to task...Careful now

did a 10ish K- normal run into brooklyn and back over two bridges. tempoed the brooklyn bit... ~4m and pushed the return bridge (Manhattan bridge) to try to get a strava segment PR at roughly mile 5-6.
very happy with it- whole thing was avg 7:59s (8:30s 1st and last mile) and I PRed the climb and overall bridge just over 7s.
I could have gone faster for sure- breathing was pushed a little but comfortable doing 7:30-45s until the bridge.
I held things back a bit so I could push the bridge and PR... but generally- I should be pushing the tempo runs so that breathing is more labored (I don't have HR and go by feel... sue me)?

Listen to PT while recovering, but I beg of you to start doing these (and upper body exercises) to minimize the probability of this or something else happening again. I'm sure saying this makes you want to reach through your device and slap me, but 5-10 less miles per week and replaced with strength training will do future Big Z better. Volume may be king, but it doesn't matter if you're not healthy.
