Go ahead, you must really enjoy crotch rot. As for my and my family jewels, we prefer as little extra bacteria as possible. Skin irritations kinda sends the wrong message.

If it is, sucks to be you. I developed peroneal tendonitis in my left foot while building my house. All that time on ladders and walking around in the attic on trusses, etc. It got worse and worse and I finally couldn't put any weight on it. Went to the podiatrist and he gave me a cortisone shot that was injected just below the ankle. Most painful shot I've ever had by far. Between that, wrapping it, and good drugs it was pretty much okay after about 3 weeks.

But I still get some pain in that foot every so often.

Granted, I abuse my feet with the extra weight as it is so it's different than you runners. But the injury sucks.

That sucks h8r. Seems like everytime we get a challenge going one of us gets hurt.

OK, I just got back from the dr, I do have peroneal tendinitis. Luckily, he just gave me cortisone pills instead of a painful shot. He also gave me a small wedge to put in the heel of my right shoe to keep my foot strike more on the inside of my foot while it heals. He said to wait until Tuesday, check it for pain, then if pain free I can start running again on Wednesday.

Great news. Hope you're better soon.

What kind of a challenge is this? How many miles you can bike/ride in a given period of time, or is this part of the biggest loser thing?

So did you forego your mileage so that Dromos would have a chance against Venomous Viper?

We need all the advantages we can get.

I pushed through the pain on monday and ran a little over 3 miles, but that made it worse and haven't been able to put in any since then. Too bad it was this week instead of last week, we won by nearly 80 miles last week.

here are the rules of the challenge.
