kaqphin - 2007-11-11 12:46 AM Cars great... will be better when Ive replaced the other tire.... I spent like 2-3 hours cleaning it yesterday and woke with a sore upper body this morning...

As for the mountain bike... nah havent ridden it since i got it back from BB but it is nice to have it back in MY possession! Besides riding it would be a lot like training... and we know Im not doing that... maybe my challenge goal should be do nothing for a month

Ha! Maybe we should add car washing to your goals.

Can we add it INSTEAD of the other ones?



Haha. No.

So was i missed? Darn didn't think so!

Had a great day out today. My son tricked me by having me stop at his aunts house where they proceeded to surprise me with a good luck party for my run tomorrow. My son is proud of his dad for even just attempting this run, cool kid huh? Yeah that makes me lucky. He even noticed that I didn't eat the cheesecake last night and guess what the celebration cake was? A cheesecake. All i can say is that I had a great time and even more motivation for tomorrow. However I'm really tired now and I plan to get up at 5am and out the door by 6am. Should be there by 6:30 if there's no traffic and it starts at 7:30. I do plan to hang out for some festivities and beer and then it will be a long nap afterwards, but of course not before I post up my results.

All kidding aside, thanks for all the great advice and friendship everyone provides me. It really is appreciated and has become a driving factor in this new found love of triathlon training. When everyone else thinks we're crazy, it's people like you that validate the direction that I'm headed in. Whether I finish tomorrow or not doesn't matter, what matters is that i just started. I'm an automatic winner because of you guys.

Good night.

Wow, what a great surprise! What a great kid! GOOD LUCK TOMORROW! We know you'll do GREAT!

I second that! What an amazing family to have all that behind you, especially your son! You are a very luck man  

Oh and enjoy that first beer after the race tomorrow... I guarantee there will be nothing sweeter... just make sure you are well hydrated too!

lastcall2003 - 2007-11-11 12:44 AM nice try -

 

LOL, ummmmmm - so how long is it that Cat and I have been nagging you to go see someone?

oh, and I agree with her, it doesn't necessarily need to be a doctor -

Um, since the day after I first complained about it? LOL I think it's been about a month. I did try to find a swim coach who could look at my technique. I found one about an hour away. But I wanted to rest the shoulder a bit before I do that. The problem is that without seeing a doctor, I can't get a referral to a PT. (Welcome to the wonderful world of medical insurance...)

My .02 worth....  Just see the doctor.  Let him tell you what's wrong and prescribe the physio. I tried to have my shoulder problem massaged out.  Was in even worse pain for several days. BAD PAIN!!!! I injured my shoulder spending hours in the pool aqua jogging.  The resistance of the water against my shoulder really messed it up.  The result: Tendonitis in my rotator cuff.  He prescribed ibuprofen (the magic little pills - ALWAYS take with food!) and rest and some strengthening exercises.  He didn't send me to PT since I only have major medical insurance and PT gets expensive.  If you have the insurance to cover it - just do it and get it over with.  The pain is not going to be worse than you are experiencing now, and you can get on with your life and training already!

This seems like a good time to cut out and actually go swim. I'm sitting here talkin' to
myself anyway.....

How was the swim?

Mine was great - and actually was a perfect drill after the discussion on swimming yesterday

Glad you had a good swim today. Love it when things start coming together. Mine, not so great. Had a tough time relaxing, and that is key for me. Several clients and lots of kids in the pool area distracted me. If I'm tense and stiff, can't seem to get a flow going. Someone taught me a trick to relax, but I didn't think of it until I was almost finished. Instead of trying to think of everything at once, focus on one arm at a time. Stretching the arm out until you feel your lats stretch out. It's a great way to not get overwhelmed and really allow yourself to balance and rotate in the pool like you should.

I love that feeling of stretching -

and, totally get how it would not be easy to get into the groove with lots of kids and distractions

i pretty much had the pool to myself, with a few amusing distractions

my workout was great drill - not a lot of yardage, but a lot of focus on technique - which is a very good thing!



Now that I know what it feels like to actually swim, I can read about technique and have it make sense! I am definitely going to be spending this month and next month just focusing on technique and also on how far I can go before I feel like I have to stop and relax. It's amazing how tiring swimming can be... I really felt like I had a great workout in 30 mins of stop and go swimming.

yes Dee - you must learn to stretch

on a serious note - this has made a HUGE difference for me

I was never a big believer in stretching, but it has been proved to me - it works, especially for my shoulders



OK, About.com has some stuff on shoulder stretches. Reading it now. (Between writing twisnibbins posts!)


I really like about.com. They always have quick, easy, and informational articles. I usually start there with many things and then branch out after that.

D001 - 2007-11-10 8:28 PM Ow ow ow! Shoulder stretches = Bad! Ow ow ow. No more shoulder stretches. (Dee kicks the About.com website.) Stupid shoulder stretches are evil. Well, my shoulder WAS feeling better.

Oh, Dee - whatever shall we do?

ummmm, so - have you gone to see anyone about your shoulder? or are you still self diagnosing?

Self, of course. I hate going to doctors. I think I'm allergic to doctors' offices.

You STILL havent seen a doctor!!! Dee this issue has been around WAY too long now to ignore... like almost a month... bad bad bad girl....



Um. But it was getting better. As long as I am careful not to overextend while swimming, it's OK.

(At least until I tried to stretch it out tonight.)

Besides, it's either a rotator cuff issue, or a muscle imbalance. If it's rotator cuff, they're just going to tell me to rest it, and give it time to heal. If it's a muscle imbalance, they're going to tell me to build up the opposing muscles.... I'm doing both of these already. And if I pay lots of money to see a doctor, and that's all they have to say, well, I will be annoyed. LOL

Did I mention that I hate going to the doctor?




Yea, but the thing is is that you say it is either one or the other but yet you are doing what would be done for both issues. You should really find out which one is the problem so that you are either fully resting or fully working on the opposing muscles. I'm with you... I hate visiting doctors, but you really should go in.

What about a massage person? You dont need a referral for that do you? or a personal trainer?



Could do massage.

As for the trainers, um, I've met them. Um. Around here, pretty much anyone who works for the gym, calls themselves a "trainer."


One of my friends who used to be a PT said that many PT do what they can to make sure you feel like you *need* them so they can keep making money. Hopefully there are some good ones out there, but that is kinda discouraging to hear it straight from someone who used to be one.

One of those fancy scales would be fun for Christmas though! The ones that take your height, age etc into consideration and give you all sorts of information back. My GF has one that I covet LOL
