Dec. Challenge 12-6-08

Pulling an early shift I see.

32 min. run followed by 20 min. of various core exercises including push up challenge (11, 15, 9, 9, 21) Could only manage 21 at the end this time.

Don't ever break you're collarbones.  That's my advice for the day

I saw my surgeon again yesterday and I am still technically in pieces!! Now she wants to do a CT scan to see if there is really a soft tissue bridge over the break site or not to decide if she wants to operate.  So ANOTHER few weeks of waiting.  OMG, its been 4 months! I want to be able to swim again!!!

I don't think she's used to working with athletes and I don't think she really understands what I mean when I say "I road race" because I'm not a skinny stick of a person. So I am hunting around for another opinion.  But, needless to say, I rode by bike on the club ride today, but cut it short to write a paper.

But I went to the velodrome last night and saw a guy who was riding right behind me when I went down and FINALLY got the details of what happened.  Aparently the guy in front of me was on a borrowed bike and riding above his ability. He was trying to go faster to keep our pace and started rocking his upperbody at 50kph- so of course he lost control, twisted his wheel and went down.  I hit him square in the chest HARD enough that I did a front flip over the bars landing on my shoulder and side of my back. The other guy's front fork split in 3 pieces and flew 20 feet. Fortunatly I slid one way and guy I hit slid the other way allowing the other 10 guys in the paceline to stay upright.  Apparently, it was spectacular, but I'm glad I don't remember any of my failed negotiation with gravity.

Wow Krazylegs, that's quite a crash, and it must be pretty frustrating to have to wait so long.  I hope you have a resolution soon. 

I wanted to run today but hubby wouldn't let me go - still too sick he said.  So I did my pushups.  It was hard again Peby.

Week 4, day 3 done.  16+18+13+13+25=85 pushups I have to be able to over 30 on my next test if I want to move to the next week. I'm not sure I'll be able to - I may have to repeat week 4. I'll give it a couple days before I try.

Same old 6.25 km run tonight after a day of veritably dead on nutrition.

Yay me.
