Hey gang! DH and I drove to Charlotte on Friday to do a 5k, last minute kinda thing, MIL is visiting so we took off and left her with the kiddies! Nice course in downtown Charlotte, ran in my new Brooks Cadence which I'm really liking so far, the bad news is I really hit a wall after the first 2 miles, duh, forgot to eat, not a good idea. So finally convince DH to just go already (he was driving me nuts)  The last 1/2 mile was really hard, but I kept running, felt like throwing up, but kept running.  So after finishing, had to keep moving or pass out, got some gatorade and oranges, felt better.  Back to hotel to shower and then we went out for a nice romantic italian dinner, sat on the patio, such a warm night, sigh I miss those pre-kids days sometimes when we could do that when ever we wanted.

 

SO, you know that saying 'careful what you wish for?' I wished DH would run some with me, good news is that he's started, bad news, he's quickly surpassed me in speed and endurance *jealous* < is there an icon for that?? I've created a monster! He's obsessed with finding races to do! We might just go broke  but I guess we'll be poor and healthy! Now I've got the whole family in on it, so no backing out

 

Have a great day all!

OWS fears.

I found this link on my Active.com account.  Maybe it will help.

I think it is funny to be happy that I have soft tissue damage. But it was good news! At this point he thinks I have the beginnings of a pinched nerve. The metatarsal joint of my 2nd toe is pretty swollen and he thinks that it is causing the nerve issues. I can still bike and swim and when the swelling and consequently the pain subside, I can start running again. Whoo Hooo! 

He prescribed anti-inflammatories and RICE.  I just ate a huge bowl of rice and my foot still hurts. Oh well....  

Thanks for all the words of encouragement!

Hi everyone!!! wow....I have missed sooooooooo much, how do I catch up??

My trip was fantastic! Spain and Portugal were incredible, and Oh! the wine, the food...yummy in my tummy!!! Needless to say, eventhough I did alot of walking I did nooooo running. I HAVE to get back to my tri training as I am starting to get cranky about it.

Congrats to everyone who has raced! and for those who have experienced panic attacks in the water...have no fear you will get over them...I did and I had them bad! remember I was the one who would actually get out of the water and not even finish the swim. I have never done an indoor tri, hmmmmm I think that for me would be more intimidating due to the closed in space.

Dave....love the new addition to the family!!! wow, so handsome...how are the kitties doing with him? do the girls just lovel him?

PF has shown its ugly face again.....so, I am icing, rolling and wearing my sexy sock at night. I hope it goes away quick, I feel that I can not get on with things here because when it is not one thing is the other. Oh yeah, the neuropathy in my hands is really making my biking hard!!! arggggggg....

k, I told you guys I was getting cranky....lol...

happy and safe training to all...hopefully now that I am back I can keep up with the posts!

fitmomma2010 - 2012-05-14 11:25 PM Alicia, I want to see pics too ;-). And I sooooo feel your PF pain. I have been battling it for about three months now. So far nothing seems to be working. Just about ready to throw in the towel and see a sports medicine ortho. I've tried the icing, rolling, arch braces-night time and day, exercises, different shoes. The only thing I think I haven't tried is the sexy sock and it's because I have the night splint thing. Let me know if you find a magic cure- cause I want it- lol. Now see we can be cranky together- hehe. Glad you are back, Shelly

My friend that came with me to my first triathlon took some pictures.  Well, she had a book made and gave me the hard copy the other day.  The link below will allow everyone to check it out.  I'm sharing this not for me, but if someone wants to do it for your DH/DW it would be a cool gift.  I thought so!

BTW, my next TRI is Saturday 5/26.  Rented wetsuit should show up tomorrow.
