I see the sports med doc Monday afternoon.  I worked with her husband when he was rotating into the ER a year or so ago...I was in charge the day of a local half mary and he was on. It was hotter than all get out racers referred to the race as the Patrick Henry death march....dropped like flies all day.  We had 3 or 4 of the racers in one taken off the course with undr half a mile to go.  (he was the worst, wound up being admitted overnigh fo rhabdo)

Anyway, I have heard mixed thngs about her but figure it's worth a shot.

So I have to share my good news with someone and no one in my family is anwering their phones so you all get to hear about my recent blood tests...

I was diagnosed with diabetes in July and since then have been on a major diet and have upped my workouts (I had started trying to get back in shape in February, but ramped it up when I was diagnosed...see my signature for my take on the matter).  IT feels so good to see all the hard work have a very concrete effect

                          Today  (July)

Cholesterol         160      (181)

HDL                      41     (33)  

Triglycerides        62      (164)

I was wondering this morning. Since i can't run yet do you guys thing that the walk/run program can count as workout for the challenge? Since it's kinda on the easy side I wasn't sure. Probably not, but I wanted to ask before doing anything to make sure

Not that I need it to get my 5 workouts of the week, but I was wondering if I should count it on the spreadsheet tomorrow or not.

As far as today goes, I woke up late since I had something yesterday night and I kinda came back home late ... so I will run tonight and then ride the trainer a bit before diner

I think it should qualify for a workout.... We should probably check in with Travis.

QueenZipp - 2008-11-07 8:51 AM As long as you are moving it's a workout!

Ok -- went to log on the spreadsheet and I'm not on there..

Don't know the correct way to change it.

thanks!

ScotInMinnesota - 2008-11-07 8:22 AM

I added you to the spreadsheet.

kromanowski - 2008-11-07 8:44 AM

Does any one know how we count tomorrow?  A seven day stretch from the beginning of the month would go through Friday night, and Saturday should count as next week, but the cut off says that it is 11/8 so does that mean that the first week had 8 days and the subsequent one will have 6?

disturbed275 - 2008-11-07 10:01 AM

I think tomorrow is still for this week.  There is 30 days in November and if I'm interpreting the spreadsheet right Travis has the weeks split into 8 days, then 7, then 7, then another 8 for a total of 30.  I would take advantage of the first and last week for that bonus point.

ratkat - 2008-11-07 8:02 AM

The Queen has spoken!

Baowolf - 2008-11-07 10:08 AM All weeks are good for bonus workouts 8). I'll get my 6th in tonight, 6 ish mile run. I sooo wish I had access to a pool, perhaps by Christmas I will.... Our town voted to not build an indoor pool facility because it would cost every household $25 a year in taxes. The govt was donating 4 million to the project, but our local idgets said no thanks $25 is way too much to be taking out of my pocket!!! Nearly enough to make me move, sigh. They would rather have their kids out smoking dope and collecting babies and diseases than have an option for supervised athletic activities. Unfortunately.. rain forcast for the entire weekend again (3rd week in a row). Well there might be some some and some rain, but generally unfriendly for my long ride. I really don't want to do 50 miles on the trainer 8(, but I am not going out if there may be ice patches.

Brett,

I walked outside this morning and there was snow on the ground. I don't know if it will stick, but it's the first real snow of the year. They had to close a freeway in North Dakota yesterday because of a blizzard. I often wonder why I live here.:-)
