Scars? No one mentioned scars...was it bad?

My wife got them during her pregnancy with our first

My wife has shingles. Get meds and also reduce stress in your life

The doc thought it might be from the stress of marathon training...

whiteninja

1/20/20 9:41pm

what is your schedule like? shouldn't be that taxing on the body at this point

BlueFrog

Well last week and this are really easy 2 weeks ago was rough...

whiteninja

1/20/20 9:49pm

that's too many miles. when is your marathon?

BlueFrog

This week.

whiteninja

1/20/20 9:53pm

seems like too heavy of a schedule to me. A 10-15-10-20 week is my big week before a 50 miler not a marathon. Good

BlueFrog

Thanks...that was actually my best week...

whiteninja

Chicken pox virus. Your marathon schedule might be compromising nervous system.

whiteninja

If it only hurts when you touch it, you got a very mild version.

Lance71

1/20/20 10:20pm

Yes I had them when I was about your age...

CoachSpeak

1/20/20 10:24pm
