I couldn't imagine!!!! <BR/>My allergy to poison ivy isn't nearly as bad as it was when I was younger, I use to get covered, now I get it here and there, and it's easy to control.

Last year, I was on a 4 mile run at Venice Beach after an ocean swim. Around 100 yards into the run, my knee had a dull ache. I should have stopped right there. Around 2 miles into the run, I got a pain that said: "Dude, uh, you're soooo walking back." Turned out my shoes were worn. I could swim and cycle, but I couldn't run for 3 weeks. Advil, ice, rest, and some physical therapy on my IT band got me going again along with new shoes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-1142777590341167242006-03-19T06:13:00.000-08:002006-03-19T06:13:00.000-08:00yeah... i hear you about the shoes. i have a new ...yeah... i hear you about the shoes. i have a new pair of racing flat that i have worn a couple of times that i am not sure about. i used that at a track workout and the next day i could feel shin splints coming on. so i started icing my shins in the evenings and have not worn the shoes since. no more shin splints.<BR/><BR/>it's all about the shoes!jamesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419821590943633493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-1142774504225393082006-03-19T05:21:00.000-08:002006-03-19T05:21:00.000-08:00Girl,I know about the shoe situation..i have that ...Girl,<BR/><BR/>I know about the shoe situation..i have that too.

I hope you escaped unscathed. I have a cousin who was highly allergic to poison ivy and it seemed we could traipse through the same trails with me never getting a welt and she ending up simply covered!<BR/><BR/>BTW, I'm a Brooks Adrenaline gal, myself!Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.com
