My sons live on Cheez-its. My 14 year old will often eat a whole box in one sitting and my 12 year old likes to dip his in applesauce.

I'm cool with Cheez-Its.
What is dry needles? Never heard of that before.

ATTQOTD: I will go with 10k. While it is not a challenge for me right now, I still want to run in 30 years and that seems like an achievable distance in the far future. Also, 10k is a manageable winter distance: A half when you have a chance of deep freezing temperatures is looking for trouble.

If you’re having issues with inflammation or tightness in a muscle, apparently the new thing is to stick an acupuncture-like needle into trigger points in the muscle. That causes the muscle to spasm, release trapped toxins/muscle wastes and hopefully relax and untangle for lack of a better term. It seems kind of like foam rolling on steroids in intended effect.
The PT dry needled my posterior tibialis today. It was a really weird feeling getting it done. More of a dull, bruise-y ache getting it done, but after 5-6 needles worth my entire tibialis is sore as hell. She told me it would be sore and I probably wouldn’t want to run on it, but I wasn’t expecting this much. Kind of like after a massage, I’m supposed to hydrate to flush the released toxins and maybe apply heat to it.

Aristocats is special to me.
First: I saw it when it was released (not saying how old I was.)
Second: Our first 2 cats (Boots and Frosty, both strays) looked like O'Malley and Duchess.

I’m a few days late in response to this, but yes! It’s soda!
On another note, I’ve finally got a new race on the calendar. The Sweet Home Milwaukee 5K this coming Sunday.

Ok I read later down where it was but you need to give me non clinical description, was that your calf or butt. My PT does dry needling. I think it helps but it does not help on its own, that is just one thing she does. In general the higher up it is the recovery time is shorter. Back and hips for me is sore a couple hours. Closer to the knee most of the day. The time she did the calves OMG. I can’t imagine if it was done to my feet.

I got a lot of dry needling done last year when I was having all my sciatic issues! It is definitely a super weird feeling and it does hurt for a bit afterwards, but not anymore than like maybe lifting weights hard... a day or so. Along with my sciatic issues, a lot of the muscles in my hip/glute area had seized up, and she did my calf a few times, too. But mainly she stuck to doing my outer hip area, especially my TFL. Boy did it hurt when she got the muscles in just the right spot, but you could really feel the muscle quivering and releasing. So weird.

Uh oh, that doesn’t bode well. The posterior tibialis is the small calf muscle that runs right behind the tibia deep under the big bulky calf muscle (the gastroc). So the needling was done deep in the calf along the tibia. Fortunately it’s just the one calf and not both. Thanks!

QOTD: How do you balance running with work and/or family life?
I’m fortunate to be a stay at home parent, but my DH has at least one week long business trip a month. I usually run as soon as my DD leaves for school at 8:40 or before DS gets up at 6:30am. Afternoons/evenings are too hectic with dinner, homework, therapies for my DS and sports. I run as early as possible on the weekends so I can fit in more family time even if it means a 5am wake up. I can’t remember the last time I have slept past 6am!
Bonus QOTD: What is a food you were made to eat as a child that you refuse to eat now?
Scalloped and Au Gratin potatoes. The smell..........

Work isn't bad ... I have a flexible schedule, so I can go in a little later on run days. I still try to run super early, because I do like to get into work earlier if I can.
Family's a little harder, but I also just try to get out super early so that I have more time later in the day for family stuff.
Nothing that I can think of, actually ... there are foods that I don't eat, but my parents were actually pretty good about finding things to feed me that I do enjoy.
For me it’s mostly running and school. It’s not easy but I use running as sort of a stress release. I will run after class usually instead of diving right into studying or homework.
