van_paulus - 2011-03-24 10:34 AM Picking up my race bib at lunch . Doing the Agoura Hills great race . A mostly trail and road 13.1 mile race . The course has 1000 ft of climbing so its not a PR course but its so pretty and fun . I last did this distance last summer in Sydney. And i will be Looking to do a few more this year.

Good luck and have fun!

Blaaaaaaaaaarg ... I am very ill again

dratdratdrat. Really really cannot afford to be ill--either to cover the medical costs out of pocket, or not be working.

Funny a few weeks ago I thought I had food poisoning ... well it's the exact same thing now but worse, so who knows what it is. My sister was gonna take me to hospital tonight but I was delirious and insisted I'm sure I'd be fine by tomorrow. forehead slap ... owww that hurts. Everything hurts.

Massive sad face!!!! If you jump on a flight over here I will look after you until you are better - we have a spare room!

Brilliant! If you can't make it to Rachel's, you are always welcome in my spare room! I will nurse you back to health - lots of tea, deliciously nurturing home-made meals, and all the Maggie The Cat snuggles you can handle! The only problem would be the snow - we have lots and lots of snow ... so wear layers.

Morning All!

Hope everyone is doing well this morning, especially you Yanti, although I suspect there has been no miracle recovery yet

Its my birthday today, and I am determined to have a fun day, even though I am at work. I started off with breakfast with my husband which was nice, we never breakfast together because I am always straight out the door to train while he heads to work. Then I went to pilates, a nice relaxing start to the day, and now I am in work.

Happy Birthday !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

(I hope I'm not a day late - shiftwork really messes with my perception of time ...)

Oh, technically it was yesterday but I do live in the future. Also, I am claiming it as a birthday week, or at least long weekend. Official celebrations tomorrow. My husband has planned some kind of activity followed by a BBQ and cake. Can't wait!

Aaaah - there you are! I can relate to that, I just got my eyebrows waxed and could quite happily have dozed off there and then.

Thanks i am at work late thursday finishing up

I could never get around the math of 17hrs ahead (LAvsSYD)
So i deduct 7 hrs from Lala- land time it makes more sense.

I really enjoyed my time down under last year.

The last five miles is the best time to have downhill in a marathon. That's when it starts getting tough. At least for me anyway.

I was pretty tired last night too. Thursday nights I am over a local basketball tournament and that last game that started at 9:30 was really tough. It wouldn't have been good for the guy running the scoreboard to fall asleep. Only two weeks left and it will be over! Yeah!

Didn't get my run in last night. It was late when I got home and I was feeling a little sick. I think it was all the junk food I ate while sitting at the score table.

Chiropodist visit complete! Here's an excerpt from my log:

Today I had my appointment with the Chiropodist to try and sort out the foot issues I've been having. Results: 1-pain posterior and inferior to medial maleolus is posterior tibialis tendinitis (just as I suspected). 2-pain anterior to lateral maleolus of left foot is inflammation of the subtalar joint. 3 - pain in 5th metatarsal area of right foot is due to repeated striking of the outside of my foot on the ground, I was told I have crooked feet.

I was fitted for custom orthotics, advised to do ice massages over the posterior tibialis regularly, take naproxin 2x daily for the next 2-3 week to reduce inflammation, and reduce my weekly running distances by half.

How am I going to prepare for a half marathon (May 22 is approaching quickly) with an allowance of about 10km per week...

Happy to be dealing with the issue and I hope the orthotics help!!

Doesn't sound like fun. I hope it heals quickly so you can finally be rid of the foot problems you've been having.

Hi all! I have been reading all your posts the past few days, albeit briefly, but I haven't had time to reply to anyone/anything. But know that you all were in my thoughts!

I'm FINALLY on days off. I swear these past 4 days have been the longest - we've been short-staffed, over-worked (without going into detail - special duties and special ops were VERY productive the past few days, generating a lot of paperwork for me to deal with!), and as always the women I work with complain about everything so it's been a real challenge for me to keep positive and in a good frame of mind. But - it's over now! Five glorious days off - yay!

I was going to stop at the pool on my way home this morning for a swim, but I was falling asleep at red lights and could barely keep the car between the lines - so I decided a swim was a bad idea and just came home to sleep. And did I ever sleep! I don't even think I moved, lol.

My gorgeous man brought me the most set of beautiful silver and abalone bracelets from Arizona - so now every time my wrist clinks I smile. I'm a very lucky girl - I really do have a charmed life, overall.
Laughing

Supposed to head out to Canmore tomorrow to spend the weekend with my sister, I haven't seen her in 2 months and she's only a 2-hour drive away ... her husband is supposed to be driving their daughters back to Manitoba for spring break with grandma & grandpa - but the 6-yr old had a fever all week and everyone is sick ... so it looks like I'll be spending my weekend alone! ;-(

What's everyone else doing for the weekend?

Well, not great news but i'm glad it's nothing more serious! Orthotics should help. Make sure you follow break-in instructions to the letter when you get them.

As for your closing question: ==> AQUAJOGGING.

YIPPEE and pretty pretty bangles!

We've been spirit sisters for a while, and yes ... I think I live a charmed life, too.

Weekend LOOKS quiet because I'm still not feeling great, but ... you know how it is with me ... it's ALWAYS going to be an adventure even in my own home!

Will do my usual Sunday morning swim with piglets if I'm feeling up to it.
