Thanks Mr. K,
Man, all those bone injuries and such sound pretty bad -- the worst experience I had was 15 years ago, when I started doing too much cycling and shit all of a sudden. One of my knees got really, really swollen with a bunch of fluid in there. I went to the little sports medicine clinic at the university, and they kindly stuck a big needle in my knee and drained the fluid out. So I learned not to push too hard too quickly.
That is interesting about the street having a slight angle for drainage purposes. I did not think about that. I have thought about it when running on the beach, especially down near the water, where there is definitely a slope downwards. So they say to run both directions to even things out.
Good call on calling for shoe replacement every few months. I have been slipping and sliding all over the place with my old shoes out on the muddy trails lately! I'm gonna get some of those new-fangled "trail-running shoes" that get better traction. And better support, cushion, stability, etc.
Hey what about just plain ol' muscle soreness in your quads or calves? Did you ever get that? My thighs will get sore if I do long runs on consecutive days. But this kind of thing only lasts for a day. This wouldn't be considered an "injury," but I wonder how common it is.
Well, take care, and keep on running!![[Image: smile.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/smile.gif)
