I have heard a lot about greek yogurt. I heard it taste like ass! Not familiar with chobani or Oikos. What is it?

Just the brands. It's not real sweet, which suits me. It's very thick and just loaded with protein. I mix it with granola and have a heckuva meal.

4.5 miles today.

202.9 total.

Started eating Greek yogurt lately. Anyone else go there? Pretty low sugar, but really high protein. I do Chobani and Oikos. Any thoughts? Feel like I retain muscle better without really having to eat a load.

I love Greek yogurt. Great to mix with fruit, granola, or honey.

It's also kind of expensive too. I would have to add some fruit along with that granola. I get my protein from solid foods (Beef, chicken, etc.) and milk.

You might have a point on the cost, as I don't really know.

On the protein, I don't know if I can eat enough meat to get what is recommended for me if I'm training hard. Greek yogurt is an easy way to keep up.

That is the bad thing, if you run/cardio a lot. You have to eat tons to keep the muscle. This is where people F up trying to lean up.

I love Greek yogurt. It's not as sweet, but the taste and consistency is better, IMO. Both brands are good -- I especially like the Chobani peach.

I know your a doc and all. MRI may be best for ruling out inflammation of the the bursa, but if your looking at bone, CT is a lot better than MRI. Especially the newer generation Scanners. You can reconstruct images as small as .5 mm. Can rule out small stress fx. Just my opinion.

MR actually gives better definition, including marrow changes/inflammation. You are right that CT is normally a good "bone study," but in small areas of potential damage, MRI would be a better choice. Plus, you get the advantages of looking at soft tissue/bursa damage AND no radiation.

All this being said, if I decide to pull the trigger, I'll consult with our Chief of Radiology first. Thanks for your help/concern!

Chobani Peach was a good call. Strawberry is decent too.

My half-marathon is 2 weeks from today. It will be my first one. I was wondering what type of work load you all would recommend for my training leading up to the race? That leaves me with 13 days to train (not counting the Saturday before). How many miles should I run leading up to the race and how many of those days should I run? Thanks.

Run about 3 miles two days before your race, take the day before off and carb up, then run your race. Good luck.

Thanks man I appreciate that. I figured I should probably just get a light run in a few days before the race for a little warm up. Thanks for the confirmation.

But what would you recommend for the next actual 2 weeks. I don't want to over-do it, but I don't want to under-do it either. Should I try and run a half-marathon sometime this week to prepare for the race or what?

Make sure you get one day where you run at least 9-10 miles so your body will be sort of prepared for the half. I'd say one day a week, run 3ish. Take a day off. Then run 5-6. Take a day off. Then do the long run. Then on the week of your half, 2-3 miles every other day. Keep a good pace though and don't overdo it, otherwise you'll injure yourself.

This is the routine I followed in training.
