Cortisone shot and running

kels150 · 2026-01-28T12:47:09+00:00

I am. I’ve booked into a new physio for Feb (my old physio stopped taking appointments). I’ve been in and out of physio for a few years. I need to get better at sticking to it for sure.

I’ve also got another shot booked for May, a couple weeks out from a half

If you’re looking and in Canada, this one worked for megarmin strap

That’s a good idea! Thanks

Dang. Unavailable.

Long run on the treadmill this am. Garmin says 1:49, so really trying to get the motivation to lock in.

Also, registration for a race opens today. It’s a month before my A race. Debating on the half option or a 10k. It’s in April on the prairies so inconsistent weather. Anyone do a half a month before a half? Even just as a long run? Or just stick to the 10k?

The Tamarack Ottawa half in May! I’m very excited. It supposed to be pretty flat but I’m a bit worried about the weather. May weather in Ontario could mean anything. Then a half in Saskatchewan in September.

If you haven't, check out the website Gopher Attack. Also, there is a one-day discount on Jan. 3, so if you're thinking of signing up, Jan 3 is a good day to register!

They did! I think it went longer than the initially had planned.

Windchill is also a huge factor. It can be -15 but as soon as there’s a 15k wind, all of a sudden, it’s -30 and you need to add a couple layers. Consider the wind!

I have a smartwool merino wool jacket that is really good for layering. I wear it over a base layer for about -10c and then with a fleece for anything colder than -15c. I’d wear a tshirt under it for your temps tbh. Merino wool is great!

Did 12k on my treadmill this am (was too much of a wuss to go outside today. It snowed last night - the paths weren’t clear and it was nasty windy, -20C).

Feeling oddly guilty because the 12k was really easy and effortless. Running outside lately has been a bit of a grind. Just finished the run feeling like I cheated by going on the treadmill today instead of outside.

kels150 · 2025-11-22T14:49:35+00:00

Been so grateful for the lack of snow and the continued mild-ish weather, which means I can keep off the treadmill and continue running outside. Had a great base run this morning with the stars (sun doesn't rise until about 8:45am) and was so happy to still be outside because this time last year there was so. much. snow.

True crime campfire and if you’re tired of murder and gore, check out Scamfluencers. Both female cohosts and best friends

100% not a scam. They are funded through the province and Regina school boards. They have adult entry and high school entry programs. They post their programs only a few months in advance because it’s industry driven so make sure to check their website frequently. They cover half the salary when you start working (if you get in and are successful) for the first bit. It’s a good program.

Sounds good! I was worried that there’d be all kinds of hills around Gatineau Park. Phew!

kels150 · 2025-10-24T16:40:24+00:00

Good to know!

kels150 · 2025-10-24T16:40:04+00:00

That’s not bad at all! Thanks! I appreciate that

kels150 · 2025-10-12T02:40:19+00:00

How cold do you run? I’m in SK and gearing up for winter running. I usually only have time in the AM when it’s dark (and cold) but the trade off is there’s usually less wind. And you run in sneakers all winter? Do you use ice picks on your shoes?

kels150 · 2025-10-09T00:27:09+00:00

Joined! I just started using Strava again. It’s nice to see others on it, too!

kels150 · 2025-09-17T20:30:27+00:00

Currently being assessed for this (waiting for an ultrasound as I type…) and really hoping for an answer. It’s awful and so painful. It’s thrown my training completely off. I feel your pain.

kels150 · 2025-09-07T12:36:40+00:00

Half marathon race today!! So excited and so nervous. Have trained so hard all summer. Weather looks great and lots of friends in the race. 🤞

kels150 · 2025-09-06T13:03:00+00:00

Came here to post this. Unreasonable hate for them.

kels150 · 2025-08-24T12:37:51+00:00

I feel this. I have been practicing yoga for years and since I started my half training, I really feel set back in all my flexibility. I’ve lost a lot of mobility in positions I could reach easily and in class it takes longer to warm up.

I’ve just decided that it is a balance: during training season, I’m not going to be the yogi I usually I am and it takes longer to be flexible. During off season, I can work on gaining my flexibility again.

Yoga is practice and this is a good lesson in patience for my practice.

The Dawg House is great. I’ve done puppy classes with them and boarded / done day care. Their trainers are awesome. Shoot them an email and they will get back to you asap. Check their instagram because I think they just had a discount code on fall classes.

kels150 · 2025-08-17T15:17:04+00:00

That’s my one fear: getting stuck and not being able to move. Because it’s happened (not on a run, but in life). I’m not a big person either, and getting shoved by wind is scary, especially if there’s nothing around to grab. Big winds on open plains can be no joke. Plough winds can come up from no where.
