Expert 1164 New Port Richey | Subject: RE: 2/15/04 Just read your blog. That sucks about not being able to walk around and having to depend on everyone else. Hopefully it starts to feel better soon. |

Resident Matriarch N 43° 32.927 W 071° 24.431 | Subject: RE: 2/15/04 yeah, I am used to be the one being depended on, not the other way around. The worst is just not being able to come and go as I please, and my son has this week off from school and I had planned for us to do some skiing. All I can say is that God sure has a sense of humor. Obviously I shouldn't even think of skiing until I am done with the Synvisc treatments. But I couldn't see that and my ortho doctor wasn't going to tell me that. He wants me to ba as active as I can. So God saw fit to give me this gigantic knee and leave me unable to ski. Period. That's how I've chosen to look at this whole thing anyhow. It's not the first time something like this has happened, reminding me to slow down and listen to my body. Another time I was working 50+ hours, training for a marathon, going to school part time, and of course raising my family. I was in a constant state of exhaustion when I broke my ankle while out running. It was my PCP dr who pointed out that is was God's sense of humor coming thru since I was too much of a knucklehead to see the obvious. Now there was no way I could run, had to cut way back on work, and had much more time to spend on my school work. ok, I AM PAYING ATTENTION NOW!! enjoy your day off Kevin. |

| Subject: RE: 2/15/04 Ok, I guess living on the West Coast means I have probably already seaked my one and only firts post on this site!! Ellen -- it sounds like you have the right attitude about your knee needs. When I broke my collar bone a few years ago I was terribly depressed because I could do NOTHING for way too long. A friend at my gym pointed out that our "lifestyle" of exercise and activity make these happenings most probably inevitable.We could apend our life sitting in the lazy boy and slowly have our bodies "rot" away. But no! we take our chances and the get through our rehab and rest time and start exercising again when we heal. This little "talking to" that he gave me made a big difference in how I viewed my down time. Back to my workout plan for today -- I rested yesterday (totally) so that's done! hope to run a bit today. Will check in later. |

Extreme Veteran 406 Boise Idaho | Subject: RE: 2/15/04 I AM HERE!!! I had to work away from my computer at work last night so I was unable to get the first post. So I thought I would share the love for a change! Hope your knee starts feeling better soon Trimom! ~~~Not sure what I have planned for today, but I am not to sure if I want to run yet. There is no pain in my legs today but I think I will give them another day or two for good measure. But I am going to take my dogs for a nice hike today in the 5 inches of fresh snow we got! Wont this damn stuff go away! Soon enought I guess. Then I will just complain about the heat! ;-) Jack. |

Veteran 226 Malvern PA | Subject: RE: 2/15/04 It's a rest day for me too. I got the job I interviewed for the other week, which is going to involve more commute time (50 min from ~8), so i'm going over atlases of the area, looking for training spots for running and swimming after work. I wish you well with your knee, trimom. And a great week to everyone! |

Master 1494 Kingston Ontario | Subject: RE: 2/15/04 Hi everyone Swim day today 1400m total including warm up, drills and cool down. Also walked 2k outside because it is finally sunny out! Tri Mom, best of luck with your knee. I recommend picking up "The Blue Day Book - A Lesson in Cheering Yourelf Up" by Bradley Trevor Greive. It's great for a good laugh. It is just a small book, and I bought it last year when I was out of training and racing. I love it! Let me know if you pick it up... JB |

| Subject: RE: 2/15/04 TC -- you might want to scout out some bike options, park part way to work and ride your bike in part way. You could always lengthen your ride as you get better and stronger at it. I do that regularly and love when I can commute (almost all the way) to work. |

Veteran 202 St. Catharines, Ontario | Subject: RE: 2/15/04 I wrote an article this morning. I walked my dog about 5km. Then I re-wrote the article and emailed it to Ron. Then I ran 25km in the freezing cold. Then I took a nap. then I came online to update my blog and there was my article already on the site. Talk about instant gratification. |

| Subject: RE: 2/15/04 Turns out that I too am taking another rest day today. Some other things got in the way of an earlier possible workout, and by later the motivation was gone. I think that's OK though as I intend to begin a new workout plan this week -- son't kow what it is yet, but something geared to doing that duathlon you all talked me into!!! But I will swim as well so not to lose that base. |
