Okay, your palindrome beats my palindrome, hands down, DD Ron Ron!

I stopped rowing, last night, when I couldn't stand watching Silver Lining Playbook for one more meter ... and happened to hit a number which addresses my trans-Atlantic ex-pat confusion as to whether my birthday is 8-6 or 6-8. I never used to get such a thrill out of numerology!

[Drivetofast]

Ron you should take a break and heal. The team will be here. A wise woman told me that once. Try a skierg or chill and play Golf

I hope that you crabby boys both had marvelous July birthdays. Happy belated greetings and good health. Crabs are delicious, especially with melted butter and lemon. I ate my way through Maryland, one trip, trying to find The Best crab cakes. Nom.[/quote]

That's some serious road work; how often do you have to buy new running shoes? Maybe you could jog over to the Left Coast, sometime soon, and I'll take you out for a birthday dinner. (Would be happy to drop you at the airport, afterwards, if you didn't want to run all the way back to "your side!")

depending on my mileage at least every 6 months...since i've upped my mileage, i'll probably have to start buying new shoes every 4 months, if not sooner....hmmmm...wish i was more of a traveler....btw...i used my new concept2 bag to bring all my gear to the race :}

Hi everyone

I've been off the forum and off the erg since May due to some injuries, and wonder if anyone has some advice--after thinking I had a stress fracture of my right foot, my ortho has now determined I have Morton's neuroma in my right foot--basically an entrapped nerve. Her advice applied to exercise is--if it hurts, stop, and try to do as much as I can barefoot.

I just got back on the erg after several months off (yay! ) and tried barefoot rowing--not terrible if I wrap socks around the heel straps, but not great, either. Maybe my feet have to adjust?

I'm also struggling with what feels like a recurring groin pull (never had one, so I'm guessing).

If anyone has had experience rowing barefoot, rowing with Morton's neuroma, or rowing with what seems to be a mild groin pull, I'd appreciate some advice about what worked for you!

Thanks, it's great to finally be back and feel as if I may be able to start rowing regularly again. I get REALLY crabby when I don't row, my husband is hoping I will start rowing regularly, too!

sending healing thoughts...sorry, i have no medical advice....

[voodoogirl]

Those help! Thanks....

[voodoogirl]

Thanks, 'Ron--this is helpful, I'll look into finding a sports podiatrist. Sounds like a good option...today the barefoot rowing seemed okay, maybe I'll be able to keep that up, we'll see...until I can sort something out.

I appreciate it!

Sorry to hear what's been happening with you, Laurie. You might also want to cut-n-paste your original post over to the Health and Fitness forum. (I row barefoot about half the time, for no reason other than it's comfortable, for me. I wonder what difference it makes; other than my heels get black!) All best wishes.
