Great job Emma!  Congratulations.  I remember when we started you were thinking 3 miles as a stretch.  Look how far you've come in just a few months.  Oh, and the Cooper River Bridge Run is a great 10k.

trying1 - 2010-03-28 9:20 PM I had the 4 mile version of Kelli's race today, I did ok but didn't reach my goal..  Had a goal of 30min (7:30/mile) but finish 31min on the dot (7:45/mile).  I basically had to have everything work perfectly to reach my goal and unfortunately the hills and crowd/congestion kicked my a$$.   

Nicole83 - 2010-03-29 10:16 AM Good Morning everyone!

I haven't had a chance to read thru all the posts yet, but I skimmed and have two important things to say first.

#1- GREAT job on your races this weekend everyone!  You should all be VERY proud! :)

#2- Laughing still freaking HURTS, but not as bad as it did last week.  I'm glad I missed all the cankles talk then.  Hehe.  And seriously, does Eric have cankles?  Now I'm curious.  I know he's all of 100 lbs of beastly polka dot masculinity and all, I'm not sure he has enough extra to have cankles? :)


So anyway, hi. :)  I'm back to the land of the living though not quite yet back to work.  I tried to update from the hospital and all but they had me on so many pain killers I only partially remember my stay there.

The short version is that I had a cyst on one of my internal girly parts that ruptured and was hemmoraging internally.  To make matters worse, that irritated my appendix to the point that it was becomming a problem.  After 24 hours of monitioring and probing (and let me just tell you, and ultrasound is NOT the warm fuzzy verson that you think of when you think of babies when they're trying to get a good look at your appendix and internal girly bits), they decided they needed to remove the appendix and cautorize (sp?) the bleeding.

Once they got in there (thru my belly button no less!) the bleeding was worse than they thought.  The procedure went okay in the end, but I've lost a lot of blood.

No transfusion needed, thank god, but my red count is low and probably will be for at least a month.  So I have this lovely semi-constant light headed thing going on.  Hope that goes away sooner rather than later.

I'm feeling better today.  They said at least a week before I return to work, but i'm optomisitc to go in for at least a few hours tomorrow.  My assistant is going out of town for two weeks beginning on Friday so it would be really great if we were at least somewhat on the same page before she leaves.

I'm bruising nicely, which is weird since it's my belly button, but the worst is definately behind me.

So anyway, thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.  I missed you guys. :)

KelliD - 2010-03-29 10:42 AM Awesome race Stan!! 

The crowding at NYRR races has gotten totally ridiculous!  IMHO, the cap needs to be even lower than what it currently is.  I spent the first 2 miles of the race getting soo frustrated at all the darting & weaving, having to constantly check up bc I couldn't get around people and swearing for the hundredth time this was the last NYRR I was ever doing.  In hindsight though, the crowding in the beginning was sort of a silver lining and kept me in check....otherwise I think I would have taken off too fast.  Still not in a hurry for another race in CP though.
