and no end in sight. :(
I've got a nasty case of posterior tib. tendonitis and have really no idea how it got so bad so quickly.
My mileage was reasonable, stride was feeling fluid and light but all of a sudden I can't walk let alone run.
We think it may have been a longish run on a hard surface with bits of ice and snow scattered around that really triggered it (thus the subtle message to winter above).

I tried to manage it and run easy for a couple of days but two weeks ago I had to walk/limp home 5km...I haven't even thought about running a step since then.
It is still pretty inflamed and I often can't walk properly but I'm hoping with another week or two I'll see some progress.
I'll keep you posted (both of you), in the mean time I'll hammer the bike and try to keep some semblance of running form by taking part in possibly the most embarrassing activity for a former swimmer - AQUA JOGGING!!

great so you'll be biking even stronger now? I'm never coming up there for a ride again.
Guys, I call DIBS on the blog self-deprecation and I'm sure you have more than 2 or 5 readers.
Ian-hang in there, I know what you're going through. I just started running again and it sucks....not like swimming and biking but it does eventually come back. At least as "back" as it can get for 2 guys who can't run.
Ian,
As a southern Ontario Slowtwitch lurker, I caughts your blog off a post in the forum. Just wanted to let you know you have more than 2 readers. :)
Hope you get your running back asap.
Nice pic - it says it all.
Cheers!
