Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() TTucker - 2011-03-07 12:11 PM Hilde - never mind the sports bra's...imagine trying to explain away the black eyes from getting smacked in the face with one while attempting to run!! LMAO An even harder explanation would be the one that Wilson and I would have to give our wives as to why we were running backwards for 3 miles in front of you. One wrong step and we'd have two black eyes from you and a whole lots of other black and blue pieces from our wive's beatings! |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() TTucker - 2011-03-07 5:18 AM Wilson you are sooooo FUNNYY!!!! LMAO If I had a SET like that I DEFINITELY would not be running I can assure you of that!! Tammy (Turtle) No, my husbands' name is not Lee - but his brothers' name is! The funny thing is - I was ALSO in Houston a couple weeks ago at IAH picking my son up and was HEALTHY until that point!! This thing has hung on longer than ANY cold I've had in years and must be a pretty nasty bug since I SELDOM get sick, even with all the crap the kids bring home from school. It will be interesting to see what else we have in common........? "They" say we all have a doppelganger somewhere in the world!! LOL
OK, then, we're blaming this crud on IAH, then! Let me rephrase me earlier post: F--- YOU, HOUSTON!! I never get sick either, so it's REALLY unusual for something to take me out for a week. And as for running with those ta-tas, from what I remember about running next to the enhanced and reengineered soccer moms at my old gym, those kind don't bounce! |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Marsha, are you out there? Is the PT in the house today? Something to do with S/B/R (and I'm afraid it's the new B) is giving me a pain in the neck! It went away last week when I was out sick, but came right back this weekend when I started training again. No amount of rubbing or stretching is giving me any relief, and I couldn't get comfortable enough to sleep last night without taking an imprudent quantity of pain killers. It starts at the base of my neck and radiates through the L shoulder, ending in the deltoids. I can't get in to see my sports doc until the end of the week; I'm hoping to find some relief before then. Help! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Tammy (Turtle) - You know, I've had headaches for YEARS and some are stress induced but when I went to the chiropractor last year he did xrays and found that I have a vertebrae in my neck that is a bit messed up. It becomes super aggravated, ESPECIALLY when I ride the bike from tilting the head back to look at the road. Have you seen a chiropractor? When I was having adjustments done regularly I found that the headaches were not as often nor as severe and the criq in my neck was more manageable. Before the chiro it was at the point where I was going through a month worth of migraine meds in 2 weeks!! Shawn - I'm sure that black and blue body parts would be the least of your and Wilson's worries (more likely that there would be the threat of MISSING body parts!) LMAO!!!!!! HA HA HA HA |

Freudian slip, Shawn, I think NOT! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() OMG you guys are killing me! I was able to read (quickly) but not respond to such things from work - I was trying SO hard not to laugh! Turtle- oh no! If you can't stretch to get at it, it is likely a vertebrae out of place an/or or a nerve being pinched by one in your neck. Of course you have to pick something hard to treat over the internet - LOL! Try this movement called cervical retraction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAjFjYJKmUs if the nerve is being pinched it might be sore while you have your head pulled back but the more you do the better it should feel and the more centralized (toward the neck, away from the deltoid) the pain should move. Let me know what happens! |

Extreme Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Tammy, I've been thinking about a chiropractor. I happened to have my work physical today and mentioned the neck pain to my flight doc. He gave me a full chiro adjustment right there! I had forgotten he was a D.O. instead of an M.D. It gave me a little relief, anyway. Marsha, thanks for the video- you're awesome. I'm getting to work making double chins right away. Hopefully I won't have to tap into my Percocet stash to get through the night! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I forgot to check the forum for a couple of days and I obviously missed a lot of fun. Love the pictures and jokes! Thanks for the wake up call, Wilson. Yeah, I've been a bit of a slug. I decided this AM that I am getting off the pity train. 11 weeks until my marathon and it might not be my fastest, but I'm going to do it!! Thanks for the encouragement!! You guys are just the right mix for getting this girl back to work! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Holy crap the weeks from hell are almost over! Knee is very slowly getting better, but I'm still off running for about another 6 weeks. Today it feels ok, but yesterday it hurt like a . So I'm just working on swimming, and biking (next week), and getting my asthma under control. My plans for racing are currently on hold until I find out if my knee is going to hold up. Wish I could make it to Indy, but it just ain't gonna happen... |
![]() ![]() |
Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Jen, you definitely need to get that knee back in shape before you start running again!! I hope resting it is helping... I take it the bike does not bother it?? And if you've been off running for over 6 weeks, you'll probably need to start from scratch again, maybe do the Couch to 5K plan. Walk/run, starting with really low volume till you know it's okay fer sure! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() A SWIMMING BREAKTHROUGH! yaaaaay for me!! I tell ya', after swimming working through the drills w/the coach yesterday where she had me work up to 5 strokes between breaths, breathing every other felt effortless!! So, now it's a matter of building on what I know and building ENDURANCE in the pool. I still feel panicky on occasion but she assured me that this is perfectly "normal" and we'll work through it. I promise I'll try to stop whining about the pool! Off today most likely...teenager is FINALLY getting his casts off and had to play catch up with school work. Hoping to get at least 1 run in with the newtons again over the weekend and a spin on the bike too!! |

Veteran ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Tammy, Awesome job on the breakthrough! Just wanted to say thanks for all the inspires this week. I've been a bit MIA because of school this week. But now I am off of school all week! Yes! Tomorrow I have a 5k. It is actually the year anniversary of my first race EVER! It is pretty cool to look back at this year and see how far I've come. And I've officially gone down a pants size! Heck Yes! Hope everyone is having a good week/weekend. |

Expert ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Congrats Jordan on the weight loss AND all the improvement you've made this past year... I know you are going to do great on your 5K!! And congrats Tammy on the swim breakthrough, I better watch myself or you are going to be tickling my feet all too soon! I am offically on |

Hilde, hope you have a WONDERFUL break and do lots of fun stuff! Tammy, WAY TO GO on the swim breakthrough! That's fabulous-- what a cool development! Jen, hang in there on the injury recovery-- I know it's tough, but you'll be back better than ever once you're healthy again! Jordie, you ROCK!! Brava on the pants size shrinking-- what a great feeling! As for me, I've just signed up for IM 70.3 Steelhead on August 14th-- BRING IT ON!! Have a great weekend, everybody! |
