I'm learning to love it.  Will be going for a girls weekend ride this Sunday & Monday.  First long ride without hubby. 

Alright Fighting Okras!  Way to go.  Keep up the good work everyone.

Congrats on the new baby in the family. 

gonna hop on my bike sometime today, probably after the chiropractor.

nice, easy spin around the lake.

AFTER the chiropractor.

HAPPY TRNG EVERYONE!

oh dear, TRACY. 

how much longer will you be flying solo?

stacieb

hello okra-ites.

as if the cruds earlier werent enough to get the week off on the wrong foot, now i have contracted a nasty case of athlete's foot, that has all but engulfed my poor littlest piggy-toe.

i went to the Dr cuz a) the sprays/creams ive been using the past 3 days didnt seem to be helping and b) it developed these god-awful blisters and the whole toe, albeit little, was becoming red and inflammed.

the doctor gave me some scripts, but thought after a little more time the OTC med would work....then she said to try and keep that area dry.

that just made me literally LAUGH OUT LOUD.

uhm.  you know im a triathlete right?

yes.

im in a perpetual state of wet, every day.

wet from sweat.

wet from swimming.

wet from showering.

aye.  theres the rub.

im actually surprised this hasnt happened to me sooner, considering all the places my feet touch.  ok just gross when you start thinking about it.

im glad that it seems 'limited' just to the one piggy.  ive seen the online pictures/how bad it can be.  you need a strong stomach to look at some of those photos.  ICKY-poo.

FUNGUS OR NOT, i will NOT be deterred.  the cream seems to be working already, so i was able to do my ride today w/out issue. 

im planning on swimming tomorrow.  flipflops from here on out, on the deck, in the locker room and showers.

then ill try for my long run on Friday.  which leaves me a long ride, and speedwork as 'essentials'.

Saturday will most likely be my long ride.....as to how long will be, we shall see.

that will leave Sunday for speedwork.  8x400 intervals.  WOOT.

then a nice taper before the COOK FOREST RIDE and THE GREAT RACE 10K awaits.....

w ALL the CRAZY-goings-on this week, i think trng is coming together well, inspiteof.
