No, but I just made an appointment for next Monday. Obviously, it isn't clearing up on its own. At the least, I'd like to know what the hell body part I injured! Thirty-six years ago I was running 30-35 miles a week. Then the right knee and lower leg started hurting. Kept getting worse and I finally relented and went to the doctor. Turns out I had torn some cartilage playing indoor soccer, and that injury led o a bone sur forming just below the knee between the top of he tibia and fibula. Doc scheduled surgery. Said he was going in with arthroscope first to see what was going on, then was going to cut out the bone spur. He found the cartilage tear and fixed that, then figure that was the whole problem. Left the bone spur in and said I'd recover more quickly. I'd already had a cartilage op seven years earlier and recovered really fast (played basketball eight days afterward). So I thought this was good news. Nope. Eight full weeks of rehab before I finally felt up to running again. And then the same old pain was there. Two months later, he cut the bone spur out, and a two-month recovery finally fixed it all up. But I never got back to running at such a level again. Ten years later, I replaced running with roller-blading ... for a while. Because of Ankylosing Spondylitis, I haven't been ale to bend over enough to even get the skates on. |

You have Mick Mars Disease? Damn, that sucks. Can you do any exercise?

I’m pathetic.
Ran a 10-miler this morning and actually started out decently with a 9:00 pace for the first half.
Then I stopped for a bathroom break and the line was 12-deep. I waited and waited and could feel myself stiffening up by the second.
When I finally got back on the course, my right leg started tingling and cramping up every time I went faster than a brisk walk. So, I shit the bed and wound up in the trier zone. Final time was 2 hours on the nose. Placed around 3,000th out of 3,500.
There were mile-long lines for every port-a-potty on the course, so I know I wasn’t the only one who got blown up by the waits.

A real trier would have just pissed (or shat) themselves and kept moving.

Not to mention the race was on the George Washington Parkway, which is federal land, and extracurricular pissing and shitting are stringently frowned upon.

TL,DR.
Unsure if she's a tier or not.

You have Mick Mars Disease? Damn, that sucks. Can you do any exercise? I was getting decent exercise done in a warm-water pool and able to walk distances until the pandemic hit, I'd love to get back to it but I no longer belong to that club. While my spine is pretty much fused and I have almost no flexibility, I'm not really in any bad pain, so I just count my blessings and move forward. I'm 63, and going back to my mid 40s I could no longer reach down to the floor to pick things up like a normal person. Makes keeping a clean house a lot harder. My neck is pretty locked up, and that sucks. I can't look up or side to side well at all, so I have to turn my entire upper body to check for traffic when I'm driving. But, like I said, not having serious pain makes me look at the bright side of it all. As long as I'm physically able to do the job that I love, life is good. Went to the Brewers game with my brother today and he refuses to pay for parking, so it was a hike to and from the stadium, about three-quarters of a mile each way, with the return to the car almost all uphill. But I survived. |

TL,DR. Unsure if she's a tier or not. Crier for sure. Unsure if 7.43 is 7:43 or she's actually using decimals. Either way, likely real sore tomorrow. |

They have different rates for weekdays and weekend (and Cubs games). that's not bad. haven't gone to a game yet, but last season the garages around Yankee Stadium were $40. Think Citi Field was 30 or 35. Went to an Islanders game in March and that was 40. |
