One of the things that really helped to get me off the couch was having the supportive community I found at Cool Runnings. It's good to have running companions, even virtual ones. I'm so glad to hear that there's someone out there paralleling my running experience. I wish you a quick recovery. I think I'm going to try the elliptical, too, unless the doc clears me for take-off tomorrow.Daniel Ternerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113545269922924004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493797027955849577.post-17431591727091139992007-03-26T17:14:00.000-04:002007-03-26T17:14:00.000-04:00BTW, just so you know, your blog has been tremendo...BTW, just so you know, your blog has been tremendously inspirational to me -- similar (albeit proportionate) physical situations with very similar goals (20+ lb. weight loss) and motivations (wife, young child).<BR/><BR/>So far so good on the wieght loss front -- thank you -- but on the running front, after completing the C25K in January '07 and then even racing a few 4-milers here in NYC, I've been sidelined with serious shin pain -- either shin splints or stress fractures. Major bummer!<BR/><BR/>But, today I started going to the gym and using the elliptical machine, and its absolutely wonderful to be able to run without pain -- I logged 5K after 10 days off no problem -- and no pain -- and am thinking of upping it tomorrow (when i combine it with a little stregth trianing).<BR/><BR/>So, the point of all this is just to say thanks for starting your blog and to lend some moral support to you (or anyone) who's body might not be able to take the pounding of running on the road, to let them know that there's fitness and weightloss and body conditioning life off the road -- it may not be as much fun, but its no reason to get (as I did at first) when you learn that you have an injury that may preclude you from running the way you would like outside.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the Doc!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493797027955849577.post-68665406094799185462007-03-26T13:24:00.000-04:002007-03-26T13:24:00.000-04:00I'll definitely let you know what he says.

That's part of why I'm keeping the shoes new and not running in them until the Ortho okays them. I basically had three professionals suggest three different things. The first professional (the Doctor) suggested the Brooks Beast. The second (Running Store clerk #1) nixed the Beast and suggested the New Balance 1222. The third (Running Store clerk #2) said that the NB1222's didn't fit me well, agreed that the Beast was not right for me, and suggested the ASICS GT-2120's. I'm hoping to get some consensus before I put any miles on. In the meanwhile, I'm going to take a look at the Road Runner Sports online store to see what their guide suggests.Daniel Ternerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113545269922924004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-493797027955849577.post-44057762599191571752007-03-26T11:28:00.000-04:002007-03-26T11:28:00.000-04:00I'll be curious to see what your Doc says about th...I'll be curious to see what your Doc says about the ASICS GT- 2120's. I have the 2110's -- their predecessors -- and they're great, but in the Road Runner Sports online store -- which has a great shoe guide -- they're listed as shoes for folks like me who have regular to high arches -- they have other shoes (motion control + shoes) for folks over 150 lbs and with low arches,, which is what you said you have.<BR/><BR/>Good luck! Let us know what happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
