I ask because I'm training for a couple ultras, doing a fair amount of trail running at altitude (often in the cold), and experiencing blurry vision from cornea edema on a regular basis. My vision takes hours to clear up and I'm starting to wonder how I'll be able to run some of the longer races I have planned. I've seen several doctors now, performed numerous tests, and tried different eye drops on long runs but nothing seems to help. Along with finding your post I have found other references to distance runners having this problem, which is encouraging, though I haven't seen any ways of preventing it yet. Thanks for any info you might have! Heath Hello,

You can run almost any day of the year. I went to Oregon as a child, and it was beautiful and it rained, and it rained and it rained. ps. you've been "tagged" (see my blog). I apologize if you've already been tagged with "11 Things," or if you hate being tagged. Happy if you love being tagged. Isn’t the weather here lovely? You can run almost any day of the year.

We missed you. And I don't think the blog is the jinx, though I've been beset by injuries since starting mine too. Glad you’re back at the blogging. We missed you.

I thought my time was okay. I was hoping to hit 1:30 so not too far off. That last mile did me in! Yes, to run down to the beach I actually had to first run up since i had to go over The 5. Then down. Then back up again. That was about 75% of the elevation gain right there. Merry Christmas! Thanks Lauren! I thought my time was okay. I was hoping to hit 1:30 so not too far off.

I hardly ever look at my time, because I don't like being disappointed (aside from races, then I concentrate hard on my time : ) I love seaside runs -- how fortunate to have such a beautiful place to run. That last picture looks a lot like Dana Point. I've noticed that when I run the beach, I've got to run down to the beach. That means I've got to run up out of the beach. I'm always surprised at the elevation. It just doesn't feel like it. Merry Christmas! That’s pretty respectable time for 8 miles.

Twin Peaks really is an amazing event. I had a great time just being there. The views were tremendous and the runners were inspirational. Thanks for putting on such a great event.

]]> Comment on ACL Tear? by socalrunnergirl http://jessicadeline.com/?p=1150&cpage=1#comment-3556 socalrunnergirl Fri, 02 Sep 2011 16:43:26 +0000 http://jessicadeline.com/?p=1150#comment-3556 I'd get a second and/or third opinion. If you are still highly functional, I wouldn't do ACL surgery unless you absolutely have to. Surgery has come a long way but it's not the same as your original. ACLs CAN heal from partial tears depending on where they are torn and if the blood supply is still intact. You could always leave it and stay active and get another MRI if it starts acting up. But if you can do all that and don't have slipping, etc of your knee (especially forward motion) then you may not have to worry too much about it. I’d get a second and/or third opinion.

This is a shock because during the summer I hiked and backpacked many miles and climbed mountains. Hiking, climbing, twisting, descending, biking and running, I am doing it all. I am not that young, and don't know where it goes from here.
