Artemis - 2009-09-13 1:49 PM Felt really terrible this morning, so I didn't run.  I rode almost an hour on the trainer instead.  Probably a good call on the not running, even though it means I miss my long run for the week.

Bummer. Did they give you a special diet to follow? If so, how long do they think it'll be before you start to feel better? At least you did the trainer though. That's better than sitting on the couch watching TV. I wanted to run this morning too, but my eye is all red and icky. (Not to mention, it hurts.) I don't see anything really wrong with it, but I'm assuming the bug scratched something. If it's not better soon, I'll find a doctor. (It's a new town. I don't have a doctor here yet!)

Any chance it's allergies?  My eyes get like that a lot.  Eye drops help.

As far as diet, very low fat.  There's a good chance it's not going to get better until I have it removed.  It's a matter of managing it as best as I can until surgery.  So, low fat diet and not stressing my liver are the ways to go.  Which is unfortunate.  All the good things have fat in them.

Ugh I hear you on all good things having fat in them... except maybe Fruit....

And lollies.... lollies dont have fat... they are just all sugar... not sure if that helps.....

hehe yeah I think its possible...

Im going through the trying to work out what I can eat thing at the moment...

So far... meat ok... sausages bad... any spices bad (although I kind of already knew that).. dairy is mixed.... caffinated beverages (not coffee which is terrible) can be ok in moderation).... vegies ok... fruit mostly ok....

And on and on and on... I was actually hungry last night for the first time in ages which was a good sign!

Feeling inspired Dee?

D001 - 2009-09-14 12:11 AM Still watching the feed: http://www.universalsports.com/mediaPlayer/media.dbml?id=371198&... 16 hours plus, and they're still coming in....

There's a handful of BTers out on the course.  I still can't watch the feed.

You still can't get it? I couldn't at first, but the other link that got posted worked OK for me. 16+ hours.... wow....

Feeling inspired Dee?

I am.

Did you sign up?

no, not that inspired.  I would need to learn time management skills before I could sign up for an ironman.    There is a bit of training involved...

Ive never managed to stick to a training plan.... or trust one...

I think if I ever considered it Id need either a coach or a really good friend I trusted!

D001 - 2009-09-15 10:50 AM Cat -- Are you planning on doing another October Run Challenge this year? (If you're not, maybe I'll set one up... If you are, great. I can just set up something for November.)

I was - but Im not sure Im up to running it - if you wanted to help out (or do it - at least the excel part of it!) I would greatly appreciate it...

Right now cant say Im inspired to do it even though I said I would so feel obliged...

Actually, no. Right now, I just want to get through the work day in one piece. (I like this new job, but I'm sooo busy between the new job AND the move. There's a ton of stuff that I still need to do in terms of getting settled in here.) If I can manage to work out three times a week, well, right now, that's an accomplishment. (I never want to move again.)

Awesome you like the new job! Im sure things will settle down once YOU are settled in!

The heat was a little brutal yesterday, my gastro-intestinal issues took some time to subside which didn't allow me to PR, the BTers and Donkai were everywhere, and I am an Ironman again!

Thank you, folks, for all your support!  It played a big factor keeping positive the whole day and enjoying the race.

I am very sore, but I am happy.

Bless you all.

I haven't started my RR yet - still figuring and recollecting.  So much to think and start writing about.

Great to hear from you Phil! Hope you recover well!!!

Congratulations on getting through the race despite som issues - sounds like a challenging day!
