mndymond - 2010-06-08 1:03 PM Hey Team! I'm experimenting with taping and putting a lift in my left shoe for running--my left leg is 6mm shorter than my right. I had a lift for walking when I was swimming because of my right IT band...its a gong show, I know. Problem is my lift is somewhere in my house back in Edmonton...maybe I'll see if an orthotist can make me a new one here...right now I have a cut up portion of an orthotic...it is too bouncy to work for good...I need something a bit harder. we will see. I havent had problems in years because of it, but must be doing something to me to have an asymmetrical injury...hmmm..haha...

Anyways, this morning didn't feel too bad. I'm just in general a bit achy. But kind of achy everywhere, rather than just one specific injury related achiness. haha...yaaaaaaa NSAIDS!!!!

Did a swim yesterday...and a bike...swim I did 6x100 free @ 130...yaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! Lalalala. I can sort of still do it!

Bike tonight.

GO

DO

NOTHING!!!

TAKE

A

NAP!!!

HAVE

THE

BEST

LAZY

WEEK

EVER!!!!!

REST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I have a guilt complex associated with not training...its not that bad...I'm just being a whiner...I sleep lots, I promise! I went to bed a 9 yesterday and woke up at 640...thats like 9.5hrs of sleep!!! My "running" is jogging...

Get over the guilt complex! I know it's hard, I've been there, too. Take a few days off. Do some yoga, stretch, do you have a hot tub/sauna/steam room you can visit?

Take care of your injury now before it becomes a big problem.

How's school going? Any more rat surgery lately?

Melindy, one thing's for sure....you are no whinger. Your training and school schedule makes me tired just thinking about what you get done in a day. That said, why don't you look into some orthotics if you think they might help. I wear mine religiously.

ironannekidd - 2010-06-08 12:29 PM Laundry TopPage. not very exciting

Anytime. I'll have them washed and folded in time for the wine on the porch. Just bring the wine with the laundry. It IS exciting if you can get someone to do your laundry for you!

So I'll bring my whites as well. White with whites! I have a nice viogner that I will chill. Perfect porch sipping wine.

Oh, and afternoon Robin!

If you're bringing the wine, what can I bring?

Maybe some snacks? Or better yet, some hawt guys. No sign of Tom today and we know Neal is being crushed by work (that or he's off smelling solvents.)

I was thinking snacks.

I don't know where Tom is today. I sent him a text while I was stuck in a boring meeting and he didn't respond. If we have to skip wine on the porch to go look for him I'm going to be ticked off.

I'll have some basil soon. I'll bring it along and maybe Robin will show me how to make pesto.

I'm sitting next to a rat surgery right now...haha...Its not my turn today. Did one yesterday. Its pretty chill right now. I'm on FB and here on BT being random. Life is hard. haha.

I guess I could write an intro for a paper...be proactive...haha. I already wrote out our experimental protocol for my pilot experiment on thursday.

Bring it on. Best thing about pesto is that you can do it while drinking wine. lots of wine.

Caution: rant warning.

This morning I was a few minutes late to masters swim, so I stayed late to finish the workout (at least the part I could do in an hour). By the time I got to the locker room, the rush was over and it was absolutely empty. I was almost finished getting dressed and this petite woman comes in and starts pushing my stuff on the bench in front of my locker out of her way......and starts putting her stuff in the locker next to me. There is a WHOLE FREAKING EMPTY locker room, full of empty lockers and she is pushing my stuff out of her way. Now, if she were older I would have given her a break....always using the same locker so she doesn't forget where her stuff is, or whatever. But this woman was my age. I told her if she could just wait a minute I would be finished packing up and be out of her way. Either she was deaf or didn't speak English (either was a possibility) because she just kept on going. Pretty bold as I had at least 10 inches and 50 lbs on her. Grrrrrr. Space Invaders.

I looooove pesto. I just put in several basil plants in a couple pots. There will be pesto in my freezer this fall for sure.

I will never understand that. I've had similiar experiences in the locker room. My favorites are when moms bring their boys who are too old to be in the women's locker room in, or even better yet, bring them to the adult only locker room. I got in an argument one night with a woman who had her 3 kids, 2 of them boys who were maybe around 8 and 10 into the adult locker room. She told me it was ok because they were with her. I told her it was not ok because they weren't 18. I'd be happy to accompany her to the lobby so we could discuss it with the Y staff.

Want me to rough her up for you? I could take her!

Pesto question - after I make it, what do I do with it?

I have basil, chives, and thyme I need to cut off sometime this week.

Do I just dry the basil leaves or the whole thing?

This is all new to me.

Do I just dry the basil leaves or the whole thing?

This is all new to me.

Oh if you have basil (or any herbs) it is definitely time to make pesto. Put a couple cups of fresh leaves in the food processor, along with a couple cloves of garlic and pine nuts or walnuts (I like to roast the nuts first). Process until it is pretty fine then pour in olive oil until it is is a loose paste. Pour in a bowl and add in a handful or two of freshly grated parmesan. Yummm. When I make extra to freeze, I leave out the parmesan until I thaw it and am ready to use.

As for what to do with it once you've made it??? Toss with hot pasta. Add a spoonful into homemade vegetable soup (oh, heck. forgot who I'm talking to here.) Top fresh pizza dough instead of tomato sauce and add some goat cheese and black olives for a terrific homemade pie. I can think of a million ideas.

That sounds pretty easy, I might be able to do that. I like the pizza idea (except the black olives part).

Guess what I'm going to try and make this weekend? I'll let you know how it turns out.
