Twisted Blisters II (Page 35)

You need a nice long stretchy swim!

Yea I ran in that this morning.  Thought it was raining, but if it was it was freezin' to my eyelashes. 

I will take it easy on the hip.....I have my eye on returning to my first love, horseback riding in March, and I need it healed and strengthened by then.  Thanks so much to you guys for keeping me in line.  

Hah, that is exactly what I said this morning when I came back from my run, and I thought of you at that exact moment!  I regret not making it on Monday, I had intervals scheduled for tomorrow's swim but I think I will pull it back to the long, lean, slow swim.  That should help with the 2.5 on thursday.

Love you new Avatar Karen.

I want to hop on Julie's and Go, Baby, Go....

Hi guys

Nice run!! kiu!

LOL

i'm TinkerBeth

WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT! thanks for the update...good luck with the DD's BB game. Hope they kick booty like yesterday!

She didn't run she flew about and waved her wand and poof she was gone! 

Hi Beth, have fun at the game, nice wralk today. 

not sure...but need to swim...but would like to bike! but have a feeling I would be letting the team down, since I am not a spinner and do not have a trainer and if the weather is anything like it has been....I would be not riding and just whining! hehe

swim maybe!

How bout you? are you signing up? and for what?

OK, here is a little bit of the serious side of Julie that you do not get to see or hear often...

I know that most of you realize that I found this site a few months ago due to a tragedy in my family....my brother lost his wife in an ironman competition last November....well things are beginning to look up! After a really trying past week....my brother was really having a tough time....I called a few of his local tri buddies and I am proud to announce that he is back on track. Last week he told me he had not been in the pool since her death and has barely gone out for a run or bike ride....NOT ANY MORE! he has been running again like crazy, rode 87 miles on his bike yeseterday and was swimming when I talked to him today....he also told me that he was able to get into the Arizona Ironman so that he can finally finish an ironman...(he was taken off the bike portion in Florida to go to the hospital and it took a policeman a good ten minutes to convince him that he needed to stop....he just kept riding with a policeman chasing him on a motorbike....anyhow...he told me of his plans to race but then got discouraged again by the fact that all the hotels were booked....so Julie did some detective work and was able to get in touch with the sales department at the host hotel who just called me and told me that they have a room reserved for my brother.  I just called him and he was ecstatic!  So, my brother is soon to be the ironman that our family already considers him! YAAAAAAAY!!!!

Thank you to all you who have helped me get thru this tough time...all those PM's, jokes and kind words have really helped! You know who you are...and will always hold a special place in my heart....THANK YOU!

ok...now back to the twisted blister julie....time to run...how about trying my energy bar....there's enough to share with the team...;O)

get the message....;o)

Can't imagine you letting any team down, you pulled through for us, big time!  

I am running again 35 miles, I need the motivation to get out in the cold this time of year. I refuse the run on the dreadmill, in fact it is folded up in the basement.  Swimming is easy for me to do.  Biking is just so hit or miss in the Northeast this time of year...and I don't have a trainer.

notarunnr - 2008-01-29 10:59 AM I gotta sign off an do some work. I am having Amy's problem...trying to leave inspires using the team box and I keep getting booted off.  I will sign on tonight and see who is around.

I had that problem too, but find that if I go into the computer control panel and clear history and delete all offline files...not only does it speed up my computer, but quits booting me off....love the picture...crack me up! have a great day girl....keep up your workouts -but no overdoing it! no set backs!

Julie, that is great news about your brother.  Will you be able to go and support him?  That would be so cool if you could.

NOTHING COULD KEEP ME FROM GOING...I would not miss it for the world! Thanks for asking Kendra...hope you are doing well and not moving alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll those books. What a great way to return to work...hehe

Wow, thanks for sharing that with us. I didn't know but what a great story to share with us. I'm glad to hear things are headed in the right direction and that he will be achieving his goal.

lyssa-gator - 2008-01-29 11:27 AM bah!! you guys were busy while i was gone!! and stinky ol' me, i don't have time to catch up just now, i'm out the door. BUT i got a great run this morning, and am hoping to catch another few miles on the dm tonight!! great blistering!!

Wow...great job! and may do more...do you hear that blisters? she is going full blast ahead....hope everyone is doing the same.....time to pull your own weight and run like you have never run before!!! Keep it up....but PLEASE as much fun as it would be to win this challenge....it is not important enough to get injured from or have any set backs...so, take it slow if you do run....very very slow....or are you planning on doing some dance routines tonight on the dm? hehe

Thanks Hector...hope your life is becoming a little calmer....sure miss your posts! But I am sure that instead of the daily posts...you are out running like a good blister should! Hit that treadmill and make sure to see my training blog for the newest and most inventive way of using the treadmill....Its a hoot! take care and do not work to hard....

Things are good, I meet with my partners tonight to convey my expectations of our seperation and it's in their favor (trust me it's good for me too), so I think it will go well. As for me all my business issues are slowly coming together and looking good. I plan on going home in a few minutes, doing my run first, figuring out insurance/advertising needs for my business, and finishing with my paper for school. I should be done by midnight tonight. My brother-in-law said I needed a break so he stopped by and dropped off a 6-pack of Pacifico's and put them in the fridge for me. Yup I'll be drinking and writing tonight (no law against that is there?) Once things slow down I'll be on here more.

By the way I like sharing good news. I just sent out this flyer and I'm already booked for the next two weeks from it, hence my stress with tying up all the loose ends by friday. I guess it's good to have this problem.

Ok time to go run.
