Royal(PITA)  14270     West Chester, Ohio |  Subject: RE: March CRUSHERS U-Pick It Challengehttp://www.mdmercy.com/footandankle/conditions/achilles_tendon_probs/achilles_tendinosis.html this is the first article I found on it for you....rest, NSAIDS are the first (and likely best like) of treatment. Surgery on the achilles is usually a minimum of 8-12 weeks OFF the foot. http://www.nismat.org/ptcor/eccentric_achilles I like this site too. Edited by QueenZipp 2011-03-27 8:33 PM |

Master 1623 | Subject: RE: March CRUSHERS U-Pick It Challenge mbasta - 2011-03-27 8:36 AM QueenZipp - 2011-03-26 4:55 PM So, Crushers....what are we doing for April? It will be here before we know it!! April is coming soon! Any ideas peeps? I have a few things that I would like to focus on, and some that I should be focusing on... such as bringing back some bike and swim training... On a non-crusher challenge note (I assume most people won't be interested, so we will still need a regular type of challenge), there is a 21 day vegan challenge starting on April 4th that sprouted on another website. i was thinking about doing it and putting it into the challenge forum to see if other BTers are interested. So far it's me and Yanti. Any other takers? I think that we could award one point for each vegan-food-only day, everyone trying for the full 21. [Again, this isn't the regular challenge, please don't run!!] I'm up for whatever everyone else wants to do in April. As for the vegan challenge, I'm gonna have to say no, I don't think I'd make it a day. |

Master 2042 Albany, NY | Subject: RE: March CRUSHERS U-Pick It Challenge I have a quick question... are we having any caps on individuals goals for this challenge? I know in the past sometimes the max we could get was 105%. Not that I'm going to get there... but these are the things I think about when avoiding getting ready for work! |

Elite 2640 Ontario, Canada | Subject: RE: March CRUSHERS U-Pick It Challenge rnihill - 2011-03-27 1:24 PM With the sun shining, I couldn't resist getting outside today. It wasn't pretty... but it did feel great to have sun shining on my face, test out my new shades and to finally see where I'm starting from this tri season. I have a lot of work cut out for me! I think my first goal in Apil is going to be to figure out what my plan is... stitches come out Wednesday and I'm going to have to talk to the doc about how far and how fast I'm allowed to push the wrist. It's going to have to include some S/B/R though because my first sprint is at the end of June. As a wacky goal, I'm contemplating seeing if I can give up cheese for a month. I LOVE cheese. Any and all cheese. I think I could lose 5 lbs a lot easier if I wasn't always stuffing my face with cheese. I'm weird... I can turn down potato chips but can't turn down cheese. And I need to lose some weight to fit into my wetsuit by June. Cheese... the main reason why I am trying the vegan challenge. I am a firm believer that dairy isn't good for us. I am pretty much always congested (mucus between throat and nose, inflamed/sticky throat) that I think might be due to dairy - it's apparently pretty common. I also firmly believe in pizza and various other cheese based products. |

I was turned towards the window and taking picture and when I turned back to look at James he was holding a ring in his hand. I was completely shocked!! Best proposal ever Congrats! May it last forever and then some. |

It takes 3 weeks for casein to completely leave your system, so make sure you're completely dairy-free for 3 weeks .. then if you notice a difference, well - go from there. ;-) Good luck! Any questions, send me a PM. I haven't worked as a nutritionist in about 2 years, but the knowledge is still rattling around in there somewhere, I think. ;-) |

Elite 3913 far northern CA | Subject: RE: March CRUSHERS U-Pick It Challenge This month sucked for workouts. I got sick twice and my little boy got an ear infection. I'm not going to adjust my goals due to being sick. I'll let them stand and just focus on getting healthy this week. I have my first tri of the season on Saturday! I'd hate to bag it due to illness. Good luck with the last few days of the month fellow Crushers! |

Master 1623 | Subject: RE: March CRUSHERS U-Pick It Challenge Unfortunately, I have some bad news to share. I got home yesterday and my roommates told me the apartment had been broken into over spring break (again!!!) My room door was locked and I can't find anything that's missing but my 3 roommates have all discovered things have been stolen. Harriet was the first to notice Saturday night around 7. She got out of the shower and opened up her drawer that had all her bras and underwear in it and 2 brand new Victorias Secret bras were gone and a reward card to Victorias Secret. She told Blair and Jaclyn and they searched their rooms. Blair is missing a bathing suit and hoodie and Jaclyn's missing a hoodie and towel wrap with her initials on it. Also a bottle of rum was missing from the kitchen. A cop came and inspected everything that night. They didn't tell me Saturday since they didnt want to ruin my excitement over getting engaged. They bought new locks for the doors and yesterday Jaclyn and I bought an alarm for the doors and windows. There's only 2 possible explanations since our locks were changed right before break.... it's someone who works for the apartment complex or someone realized our locks were changed and pretended they lived in our apartment and picked up a key. I hadn't gotten my key before I left, when I went to go pick it up to see what the people working there would do, all I said was my apartment number and they gave me the key. They never asked my name or for an ID. Anyone could have easily gotten that key. Also, I looked at the keyring of all the keys when he was handing me my key. There should have been 4 silver keys (a spare to each of our rooms) and a gold key (spare apartment key) but all I saw after he removed my key was silver keys (not sure how many though). We tried to talk to a manager this morning but of course she wasnt there. We're going back tomorrow morning. My parents are furious. They couldnt believe they handed me a key without checking to see who I was. My friend John gave us his baseball bat. He was dead serious about making sure we had something to protect ourselves with (the guy's like a big brother to me so this doesn't surprise me at all that he's being protective and worried for us). He and James even offered to stake out the apartment to see if anyone came back. I feel a lot better I have my "big bro" and fiance here to protect me. |

I would be livid about the lack of id required to be given a key knowing there are breakins going on!! We're all extremely creeped out (again). Blair's dad called the office of our apartment complex today, had them put in new locks because he said we can't replace them ourselves since that's against fire safety codes. It's just so creepy. No other apartment has reported a breakin at all. It's just us. |

They couldnt believe they handed me a key without checking to see who I was. That's crazy! I can't believe they gave a key out to you without checking to make sure it was someone who lived there. Option #1 is disturbing as it implies that someone intentionally asked for a key to your apartment. That's like a stalker issue. (Especially since it appears to be a stalker with a Victoria's Secret fetish.) But it's also strange that the gold key wasn't there, as it makes it sound like the stalker might work there. It definitely sounds like you need to talk to (or yell at) the manager - for a bunch of reasons! |

From what I understand Blair's dad yelled at them today, we're meeting with the manager in the morning and definitely not trying to be nice about this situation anymore. My parents are calling tomorrow too. They pay for my rent and they are definitely not happy with how the apartment complex is handling this. The stalker theory got thrown out my Harriet's mom and sister today. It's possible especially since they've come back twice now. Theres a cop who lives in the apartment complex who came by today and is the same one who handled the second break in who has said he's going to be patrolling our area more and is 100% on our side. He was really mad when he found out they weren't checking ids before giving out keys and dropped by today just to check on us and told us he was happy we got the alarm. |

No other apartment has reported a breakin at all. It's just us. I am a landlord. I don't know what the laws are in your area. You should be able to change the locks on your apartment in an emergency if you give a key to the apartment complex so you are not violating their "fire code." (I think the fire code thing is a bunch of BS.) You have every right to keep yourself safe. I think you need to find a new place to live. You may have to take the apartment complex to court to reclaim your deposit and, potentially, the cost to replace the items that were stolen. I know it would be a hassle but you will be happier in the end. BTW....congrats on your engagement. I'm so sorry you had to come home to this BS. |
