    Thanks Hilly, and sorry to hear that. I'll be grand, just having me a little rant. And seriously thinking about never going on holidays again ;).

    :)

    Ah BG, are you ok? How are you after PT session last night?

    What about a chi running course, I think it is, as it works on posture and running style etc? Would that help at all or was that in all the initial costs?

    Nothing wrong with a rant but considering never going on holidays again? GET IT TOGETHER!

    Thanks AQ, I'm grand. Bit battered and bruised after PT session so will know more after a couple of day's rest but I won't let it get me :D.

    I actually did a chi running course and found it useful and my form is definitely better now than it used to be. I think I just need to look at this as a blip and get back into the routine of what I was doing which seems to work for me. Most of the time anyway :rolleyes:.

    How are you? You've been a bit quiet the last while. Long-lasting birthday celebrations ? :D ?

    ah no! sorry to hear that to G, fingers crossed you're back on the road very quickly indeed, such a pain (literally..) to be off running!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,451 ✭✭✭spaceylou


    Hi BG, hope you are back running soon - your log is great reading!

    Hey BG, just catching up on your flabby abs... sorry to hear you are on an enforced break... sounds like you have figured out the reasons, so follow orders and take the rest this week... hopefully you will be back in action in time for Terenure to get yourself on that table, can't have DG dominating there, we need a D3 presence... of course, Ms. Aquinn (aka sandbags) has a good shot at getting on there in Terenure herself...

    Thanks FD. With luck it'll only be a couple of days off but I might have to ease back into it before racing again. See you Sunday either way. I'll be cheering if not running :)

    Thanks Anna. Will do - I am going to take my resting very seriously *applies serious face*.

    I suspect that by the time I get my name on that table, DG will have completed it and be half way through the original ('gentlemen's' :rolleyes:) table as well. AQ can fulfil the D3 hopes and dreams for all of us (no pressure AQ ;))

    I'm going to be hungover! This will not end well for me. Over to Annapr!
    Not sandbagging but aim will be sub 40 on the day as a result. That or collapsing. Adrian no news on my dialoryte? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,388 ✭✭✭laura_ac3


    Good luck with the recovery G. Hope you're on the right track soon.

    You could always choose not to be hungover??? :p

    And even hungover, you'll be pushing that 35 min barrier... just wait and see... !

    I had actually considered that too but we'll see. Have a few parties on the Sat night. I am not breaking 35m. Thanks but no chance.

    hmmm, I'm still waiting to see where I'll be on the course, but we'll have to decide 1st lap or second?

    Maybe we should go with the first lap or else there may not be a second!

    just don't stand too close to her... see her recent post on DG's log :eek:

    Sorry to read you are out of action temporarily BG. Meet your brother in the frustration department. As you say you've beat it before so you will beat it again. Arguably you are even better equipped this time round to beat it so it will be no bother to you. The biggest ingredient in this challenge, as I know only too well myself is 'patience'.

    Good luck with getting back up and at it!:)

    I hear ya RR!

    But I really shouldn't be complaining, I suspect it is just a minor blip and worst case scenario I won't be racing or doing speedwork for a while. It's just a bit annoying that I thought it was behind me but complacency is never a good thing when it comes to running injuries!

    How are you doing? Not at the point of taking up embroidery yet I hope ;)?

    Ha ha, I'm not doing too bad thanks. As you can see from my log, at least I'm back running now. The back has settled a good bit but I still have to mind it in everyday situations, sitting posture, getting in and out of car,lifting etc.etc.

    Running every other day is working for me right now and no speed or hills till I consult with the S&C guy next week. Looking forward to hearing what he recommends for me over the next while.

    In meantime let's keep or collective chins up and keep conquering everything that's thrown at us!

    Incidentally , got a call back from Anne/Anna in Pilates centre and had a nice chat. I explained that physio recommends not to do the pilates for now but that I'll probably be back to her in the future.

    Sorry to hear about the injury-woes, BG. I hope it all settles soon.

    As Doc McStuffins would say: We have a diagnosis!

    Well actually we don't yet but was at the osteopath today for a few clicks (all good) and mentioned the flabby abs syndrome to him. He had a poke around and is 99% convinced it's not muscular at all. Not sure if it'd be a breach of the forum rules to be giving myself a medical diagnosis on here so suffice it to say if he's right (and a quick Google search would seem to back his theory up) then I'll be going down the GP/tests/consultant/surgery route and be back in action in no time. Pretty sure I can continue to run up until then, just not very fast :rolleyes:. No more ice creams though :(

    presume you're still not racing in the mudfest on Sunday though? hopefully he/google is right :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,451 ✭✭✭spaceylou


    I think we should call this condition/injury the 'BG Flabby Abs Syndrome' from now on. Whatever the current commonly used name is, can't be as good as that! :D

    FlAbs for short?

    ...and at the risk of sounding sceptical/setting off a debate... are osteopaths even a real thing? with any medical credibility?

    From this is would seem....kinda: http://www.iiptcork.com/osteopathy/ but as I have never been to one and am incredibly skeptical perhaps BG will fill us in a bit more when she gets a chance.

    In saying that, physios are definitely a real thing and you still might need to shop around, so to speak, to find the right one for you.

    Not sure yet FD, going for a test run tomorrow and I may just run it at a comfortable pace. Otherwise I'll be there anyway cheering.

    Lol, I don't think he's a figment of my imagination ...:D

    I guess I would have been sceptical initially but this guy came highly recommended and fixed a very old (i.e. childhood) joint injury as well as a more recent one that had not responded to other treatments. If he turns about to be right about this current issue then he'll have succeeded where a string of physios, physical therapists, GPs, and various specialists from the Sports Surgery Clinic have failed. I think osteopathy is more widespread in the U.K. and they train as primary care practitioners so would have a lot of medical knowledge.

    I agree that it can be more about the person treating you than their actual specialty be it physiotherapy, physical therapy, osteopathy or whatever. I find a combination of physical therapy and osteopathy works for me but it's more that I trust both of the practitioners I see and doubt I'd be running injury free (most of the time :rolleyes:) without them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,388 ✭✭✭laura_ac3


    I think you're right to work on trust. A blanket approach of one group is better than others I don't think is usually the best approach, it comes down to experience as well with certain injuries and familiarity with activities eg running, and having that trust and what works for you. Hope you're on the right road to sorting it anyway and you won't be out of normal training for too long. Maybe this can coincide with your planned <whisper it> "no racing" spell??

    Sash I should be studying but having a sneaky lurk. So sorry to see you're injured. Sounds rough with the possibility of surgery! Hope you're on the mend soon. Im signed up for terenure...I could pace you through a slow 50 min race if you like? keep you safe? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,606 ✭✭✭RedRunner


    BG...you have me confused I must confess! You have gone from PT to Osteo to a route which you say could run the route of GP/tests/consultant/surgery but be back in action in no time. So if it ended up in surgery how could you be sure to be back in action in no time??:confused:

    Thanks Laura, and yes, I was thinking if it came to it I could do the base building a bit earlier than planned. But this issue may go into hibernation again as it did before which would be great because there's loads of races I want to do the next couple of months.

    Thanks HS, that's a very kind offer but I don't want to hold you back! Going for a test run today to see how it is and with luck it'll have calmed down enough to risk running the 5K in Cherryfield tomorrow. Any chance we'll see you there ???

    Ah it's easy to be confused past midnight ;)

    Thanks RR and sorry for the confusion. I suppose when I say back in action in no time, that's relative to the 6 years or so on and off I've put up with this issue without any definite answers as to what's causing it. If the theory put up by the osteo is correct then it's a medical issue (not a running one, even though fast running seems to be the trigger for a flare up) and it would be a relatively simple (and common) surgery with minimal recovery to fix it. Hence my excitement (and clearly getting ahead of myself :rolleyes:) at possibly having a solution rather than the prospect of just managing it If that makes sense :o.

    Ah...now I understand. Well I really hope it sorts the issue out once and for all.
