I always have a tough time running when I am visiting my in-laws as well. It seems I am expected to let my wife enjoy herself and I am supposed to watch the kids. This is why I try to run and be back before anyone is awake.robtherunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066981363064781863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-27874995761896543962006-12-22T19:42:00.000+00:002006-12-22T19:42:00.000+00:00Whoa!

I lost a bunch of weight when I started running and my mother-in-law was convinced that I was sticken with cancer. She is constantly trying to fatten me up. <br /><br />It is wise to watch that Achilles Tendon closely. Sounds like you might have some micro-tears. Stuff like slipping on the trail could really aggrivate an injury like you have. That said I occasionally have some soreness in my left AT which I run with since it does not hurt while running.<br /><br />Have fun with the kids during the Holidays!<br /><br />EricJourney to a Centumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06294889164059934956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-84706956851093268032006-12-22T18:24:00.000+00:002006-12-22T18:24:00.000+00:00You are a trooper.

I have someone in my life that talks about how unhealthy marathon running is yet she drinks excessively, smokes, and is overweight. Go figure. <br /><br />Christmas is so much more fun when there are small children around!

You're one foot fall away from an accident; but again, you seem to be able to run across all sorts of terrain with ease. For me, I'll stick with asphalt if the weather is at all dodgy.<br /><br />Have a great Christams with your family Thomas.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04350841837453498786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-87365950352816289912006-12-21T22:19:00.000+00:002006-12-21T22:19:00.000+00:00I think that the falling down dead when you are do...I think that the falling down dead when you are doing something line and grating nature are requirements of being a mother-in-law.

It does help in the really dark places, though I find it bugs me to wear it for a long time. Both of us prefer to wear it over a hat or cap. <br /><br />I miss having little ones in the house for Christmas - it's a lot more laid back now days. My Mom thinks a)we run too much and b) Eric and the boys need MEAT and lots of it. I hear a lot about how they are all too skinny. Oh well... <br /><br />Enjoy your holiday!Backofpackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13779487553272296752noreply@blogger.com
