Thanks for sharing this fantastic post today, Tal. It’s definitely worth reminding people that just because we’re athletes who are strong at some things — it doesn’t mean we’re immune from imbalances and weaknesses that can lead to injury.

Glad you’re feeling better!!!

Yes, we do! And yes, I am doing F^3! Due to my nutso work schedule I’ve been terrible about my mid-week training and feel like I’m getting slower rather than faster (how does that happen??), so if there is a sag wagon I may be on it… but I will be there nonetheless!

Yeah, it’s a toss up. Neither is perfect.
I hope you’re doing OK…!!!!

I fell yesterday on my 13.5 miler and I was wearing my Yaktrax. While they are better, they aren’t great on a sheet of ice.

Yeah, Andrea, today was just ridiculous footing-wise. (The only worse run I’ve had, I think, was my 10-miler last year when I ran to the boys’ tailgating for the Bears-Packers playoff game. That wind HURT). I’ve tried just the shoes, too, but I always end up slipping — at least a little — and doing some funky arms flailing move to keep myself upright… only to end up with a tweaked back. Getting old is the pits. We need to run together again soon. You doing F^3 next weekend???

Silly Dad. Clearly I get my accident-prone-ness from him. And you both gave me stubbornness. So thanks for that. That’s a recipe for disaster, as you can see from the whole theme of this here blog!

Both DueNorth and Yaktrax have coils (I think). The golf spikes are more useful when headed into a grocery store while the coils are better suited for the out of doors. We keep both kinds in the house for winter use. I bought your dad a pair of YT that have a strap that goes over the top of his boots so that he could shovel snow off the roof of our house and not loose his traction devices. He was over joyed to get a pair with straps, because he too was slipping while working. He has fallen twice in the last week because he thinks HE CAN WALK ON ICE without issue.
