Morning Wolvies! I had a kick 5 miles last night. It was wicked windy but otherwise a beautiful evening.

Scout, better up my goal to 90. I'm going to blow through 80 by Thursday.

I think that happens a lot. I knew my goal was going to be a stretch but that was good. Making easy goals is lame.

I see sandbagging mentioned from a number of posts.  And it appears that someone thinks my goal was lame.  Let me lay some truth out there:

1). I put in a 6 hour training day with some fellow Tri-Donkais back in August, and landed up injuring the IT Band along the left knee.  Every time that I tried to at least jog, a sharp pain would occur.  To top it off, I already have a bad right knee.  There's a huge bone protrusion (looking at the x-ray, it looks like someone took a hoe and wacked the bone causing the bone to protrude out) which appears below the right knee which resulted in Osgood-Schlatter that I had since I was in Jr. High - almost 30 years ago.  It never was corrected.
2). Continued to train with injuries and did IM Moo back on Sept. 9, 2007.  Completed it.
3). Took almost 10 days for swelling around left leg to disappear due to trauma of IM and possible IT Band issue.
4). It took almost 30 days before I felt like I could even accomplish running due to left leg  and recovery from IM Moo.  Decided that I would still do the challenge thinking that with 2 p*ss-poor knees and an IT Band issue thrown in to boot, I think I might be able to accomplish 50 miles.  Sounds reasonable.
5). During the time, my left knee and IT Band has still plagued me, but not over-extensively, so I continued on anyways.  I made it known in my blogs when I was having some issues, but kept going for my team since I promised I would do it.
6). Let me add that I haven't even mentioned that I have a lower lumbar problem that I'm getting looked at.

  I haven't whined or quit, kept working out with injuries (really stupid of me) and sucked it up!  Doing this challenge was very trying for the first 2-1/2 weeks with my issues.  Things started feeling much better in the last week.  I'm not looking for any kudos or "atta-boys" from anyone.

  Now, all I care about is that all the other teams meet their goals, too.

  I believe that everyone CAN and WILL do it!

Eeegads, I never liked that stupid hat.  I should have burned that picture when I had the chance.

1stTimeTri - 2007-10-24 10:49 AM

This really should be settled by rusty knife fight or Thunderdome, or both.  Good to see you guys aruing while Black Magic wins this bizatch!  Match, when are you going to succumb to the Donkey Overlord?

LowcountryTRI - 2007-10-24 10:57 AM

But Doc... I never said Minnie was crazy.  I said she was ****ing Goofy!!!

He'll be here all week ladies and germs. Try the waitress. Don't forget to tip your veal.

Scout7 - 2007-10-24 1:39 PM Glad you're doing alright, WD.

Goofy?! You call that a joke? That's lame. Like all of your attempts to win the running challenge!! Stop running now because team Black Magic is going to win. You might as well give up. You don't need to stop running entirely, just realize that you're going to LOSE! (Lose spokes - he's dragging down your team. Too much time spent in the TAN thread...)

LowcountryTRI - 2007-10-24 1:15 PM

*snerk*

We don't stop running until the Dark Master tells us to.

D.Z. - 2007-10-24 2:21 PM I forgot to mention that I killed the dark master using my light sword. She didn't put up much of a fight when faced with my overwhelming odor...er...power! I was actually disaapointed by her lack of fight. It was kind of depressing. She just kinda shriveled up with a horrifying scream and disappeared into the ether. Anyhow - to make a long story short, I AM THE NEW DARK MASTER AND ALL WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE ME AND OBEY!!! eat donuts. Lots of donuts.

Scout7 - 2007-10-24 1:25 PM

A) I'm still here.
B) I'm a male.
C) I am now thoroughly amused. Thanks for that.
