There is a "Topo Map" option in MapMyRun that can give a rough estimate of where the trail is. As I'm sure you know, the trails out there have all changed course a bit over the years, so their maps are undoubtedly a bit out of date, but with the topo map option and the satellite photos I can generally come pretty close just drawing my own route point-to-point. I'm not really that concerned about mileage anyways--I usually just use it to get an idea of grade and elevation (using the "Terrain" option).<br /><br />TonyAntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148317903654491236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-24603213333049591042010-03-27T13:01:51.099-06:002010-03-27T13:01:51.099-06:00Nice job.

I'm not doctor and have no idea about your particular symptoms, but I can tell you what has been going on with my knee.<br /><br />I'm lucky to have a Dr. who is extremely experienced with helping endurance athletes, so he understands how important running is to me. To that end, the entire time we've been working on correcting the cause of the pain, not just the symptoms.<br /><br />My particular biomechanics are such that my right knee "drops in" slightly upon loading, causing the irritation to the supporting fascia and tendons on the inside of my knee. We've worked to correct this through rehab exercises involving strengthening of the adductors and abductors and repetitive training of the muscles to keep the knee-cap centered over my second toe (instead of dropping in).<br /><br />Last June I received a cortisone shot to reduce some of the inflammation in the knee capsule, and it seemed to work quite well. However--even though we were never injecting into any tendons--cortisone injections are pretty aggressive, and when symptoms returned after Leadville this fall we ultimately decided to pursue a course of acupuncture (trigger-point dry needling) first. That seems to have ultimately helped me turn the corner with this injury. I'm still in the process of building my long runs to the lengths necessary to compete in a 100 mile race, so we'll see.<br /><br />Good luck!Antonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148317903654491236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-84464425830226691732010-03-27T09:35:48.230-06:002010-03-27T09:35:48.230-06:00Jeff Valliere- Great to hear your going to do R2R2...Jeff Valliere- Great to hear your going to do R2R2R in the Grand Canyon this spring! That has got to be one of my all time favorite runs!!! Being in Flagstaff, I am very lucky to have "The Canyon" in my back yard. Just wanted to give you a heads up if you haven't been hearing reports from down here... We got monster amounts of snow this winter in Northern AZ and there is still snow and ice in the top sections of the trails on the south rim. In past years, a virtually snow free crossing was possible in late April but there are reports of multiple feet of packed snow on the last 2-3 miles of the N. Kaibab that might not melt out till mid May sometime or even later if we get another late season dumping. The park is reporting that some rim trails on the north rim won't be open till mid June! You may already know all this but I thought I'll let you know in case you want to plan for a snow free crossing. I'm crossing my fingers for warm weather and quick melting as I want to do the double crossing this spring too.<br /><br />Have a great run in the canyon...it's always an adventure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828204481197178344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-138153091119019462010-03-27T09:13:30.029-06:002010-03-27T09:13:30.029-06:00Tony - Am sure most people here have found you to ...Tony - Am sure most people here have found you to be an inspiration. And I am no different. However I think the reason that I am in awe is that you keep running pure and simple - not to do with records you set along the way for sure. :) I just got into running less than a year ago but am hopefully gonna try keeping at it for another 30-40 years atleast! :) Question - is there any way to prevent any type of pain around the kneecaps when going downhill?
