Drama? Missed it. Well it seems you’ve weathered through it. Besides you know we are here for you! Forget the rest! 

Danana thanks 😊  

TheUnhealthyDaddy that's awesome! Looking forward to the pics and post a video yo uour tik tok! I'm sure there's some stuff you can do even with the shoulder. These were all screen grabs from the video I put up.  

Cheesegobbler84 thanks it just jeeps getting bigger 😄 but that's alright by me since the whole family is enjoying it. I'll be alright just not happy I keep hurting myself and it's all been running related after going my whole life hating to run now that I found. Way to enjoy I keep hurting myself. 

To piggy back on that cheese comment. A lot of people take running for granted. By that i mean they expect themselves to know how to run. But the opposite goes for most. Most people heel strike. Running on their heels. You’re suppose to land mid foot. That way there a bend on your ankles which puts your calves at play by being the shock absorber, a bend at the knee will use your quads. Anyway good stuff man, and don’t be so sensitive to online stuff or to people that don’t matter much to you 

Yep, not everyone lands the same. I went to a running store, Boulder Running, and was properly fit. They have you run on a treadmill with a camera at your feet to analyze how you run and the best shoe for you. I ended up with Brooks Pureflow and loved them.  

cindylynnwho thanks appreciate it. It's been getting ridiculous on here for weeks now 

Yes tud that’s one way to help yourself. Btw otb this isn’t directed at you, I don’t know what your injuries is but it’s directed at running. But I blame modern shoe design for this. The way the shoes are their made to heel strike. You can do what tud does or you can fix your movement. I compare heel striking to that of ego lifting lol ego lifting you use momentum and sloppy form to get the most weight up. Ego running is heel striking, and not proper bend of the knees n ankles to get the most miles you can. Which comes at a cost to your ankle joints and knee joints. In a race it might be worth it but when training it’s definitely not. I recommend them toe shoes, which is close to barefoot. When you land wrong you will know it lol.  

Redporchlady thanks enjoy thr time with the family that's the important stuff 

Rachaele7465 thanks and welcome to the site 👍  

Yearofhealth2023 thanks and that stinks they are a blast 

writingwyo yeah you got sucked Into that one a bit. I'm sending some of that energy over now but you have to promise to use it to go get out when it's only slightly raining lol 

p$m thanks thw diet wars and nastiness have been going. On for weeks I stay out of it but it gets really annoying to see the same people arguing the same stuff over and over across multiple posts 

Supergainz1 the foot Injury was completely my fault I had Mt laces tied wya too tight and it jacked my foot up bad thankfully that has gone away now but now my knee has been bothering me I just went to an orthopedic this morning and it's exactly what I thought was wrong I have IT band syndrome in my one leg. He shot some cortisone Into my knee and gave me a script for some steroids if it continues. sadly I can't take any over the counter anti-inflammatorys because I'm allergic to all of them. I already started the stretches, exercises and foam rolling to help the problem a few days ago because I played doctor Google and was pretty confident I knew what was wrong. I'm just sick of all the my diet is the best your diet aucks arguments and the attacks on one another it's just pathetic. It's never toward me but I always want to jump into it and I don't need that drama in my life 

TheUnhealthyDaddy that's a Greta next step if things don't improve. The first I jry was my fault and the second I'm getting treatment for now so well see where that lands me. Not being able to take NSAIDs to help swelling sucks ...just want to be normal 😆 my new shoes are drastically morecoushined and a much better option for the type of running and distances I do. 

Wow !!!! Dude you’re unbelievable. Super cool and best of luck to you. I want that in my garage 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏 

Bro, my wife and I gave up running because we both kept getting IT band pain. I try to stretch it even after walks now. It's not a pain you can push through. It only gets worse in our experience.  

Oh boy. I would hate to get those purty shoes wet. 😅 I hope you are feeling 💯 by mud time!  

Otb123 yes it sure has been ridiculous! We need a block button for some people’s hatred and immaturity. Sometimes it’s like a train wreck I can’t look away from, but then that’s a me issue lol.  

Lol I love diet war debates. It’s a good time to bring all sides and information to the test. But when it gets personal to the point of putting people down due to their looks then yea that’s too far, people’s weight yes cuz that’s the whole point of the diet. But I never hate anyone, even ketone lovers. That’s why it doesn’t affect me much.
