I dealt with bursitis last year and after a cortisone shot & a three week total break from any exercise, I was able to get back out there. But it's now back and I'm totally avoiding it since my NYCM training begins next week. <br />Hope you get down to the bottom of the fatigue and get treated for it asap. Keeping my fingers crossed for you :)Erica Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14319349141820943711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476235401101578979.post-10399122167934835692011-06-28T19:55:06.928-07:002011-06-28T19:55:06.928-07:00Ugh, meeee too.

I've been dealing with Achilles tendonitis for three weeks and a possibly worse situation which will require surgery and 2 months of non-weight bearing activity. Focusing on the positive is so hard--kudos for inspiring me to try. My positive "spin" is that i got to go shopping for yoga clothes because apparently no one does yoga in running shorts at my gym. biking and yoga were definitely not doing the trick though--i had to start eating less, which is the saddest part of not running. anyway, word.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08190598944253895120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8476235401101578979.post-89289503810003874602011-06-28T09:20:21.936-07:002011-06-28T09:20:21.936-07:00Hang in there, Ty.

It's like, ...I understand exactly how you feel. It's like, "hey um, my athletic life took a dump and quite frankly there's only so much content I can pull out of my @ss before I give up." I haven't run a single step in 99 days or essentially a little over 3 months. I have brand new shoes I bought during training for my marathon that have never even been laced up. I have sat out 3 races to date I had signed up for in that time, I have 2 more races lined up that I will also have to forgo. The money I have essentially washed down the drain is sitting somewhere around $300+ dollars. I only sign in to DM from my electric miles iphone app to log my measly xtraining workouts so I don't have to stomach seeing everyone else's glorious runs or runs they complain about when I would give my left arm for even a bad run at this point. It's ok to feel this way, it's ok to admit things suck... but now that it's out you just gotta put it behind you and find a way to push on. Embrace that xtraining, build up your strength on the bike and maybe think about doing a duathlon or triathlon, get ripped up doing strength training, etc... In short find something, anything to pour all these feelings of frustration in to so it can be used for good and not evil (Getting stuck in the Debbie Downer mode) And if you ever need to just vent to someone who "gets it" drop me a line anytime.
