bEASTies - March Winds Challenge (Page 46)

dermoski - 2010-03-18 3:43 PM I forgot to mention that I'm pretty hungover today, but I will do my swim anyway, Bill!  'Cause in the East, we build 'em tough!

Artemis - 2010-03-18 10:43 AM Now that I'm done talking about my shoes (I can't help it.  So excited!), I should talk about my goals.  I'm great on biking and don't think it will be any problem to make that goal.  Running is going to be a challenge.  I had to bail on the half marathon this weekend.  My patellar tendonitis is still being problematic and A is too busy to drive to Atlanta with me, so we're going to stay home.  I don't know that I'll be able to make my running goal without the half and I know I can't do a half right now.  I'll do the best I can.  Sorry team. 

dermoski - 2010-03-18 3:46 PM X2 on the healing Jen.  It does suck to have to miss a race, but your knee will thank you.

Your little toe-shoes remind me of the socks I had when I was a kid with the toes in them.  Mine were multi-colour striped jobbies...I loved them!

KOM - 2010-03-18 12:24 PM People coming over is about the only time I clean my house.  It really needs it!

ebshot - 2010-03-18 2:08 PM Boy, what a chatty bunch today!  I'm all caught up. 

Bill, glad your daughter is feeling better.  The pukes is just awful for everyone involved. 

No one pass out but I went swimming!  It felt great to get in the water again.  It has been months since I have been.  I really need to get into some sort of a routine.  I'll have to figure it out soon.

Off to walk the puppy.  It is too nice outside to sit inside.  Catch you later!

I am pleased to report that I completed a run of exactly 10 miles.  It was a slow ten miles, but I'll take it.  So, go ahead and holster that taser until next week!

They still make them and my daughter loves them!

KOM - 2010-03-18 6:10 PM Just finished my playlist for spin tonight.  All Irish but not necessarily traditional.  I've got Sunday Bloody Sunday from U2, The Pogues, Flogging Molly, Chieftains with Sting, Mick Jager and Ry Cooder and of course our local favorites Dropkick Murphy.  Should be fun.  Now if I could just bring some cold ones for my water bottle holder!

Oy!  I was ALSO very hungover today, and sad to report I'm not as strong as you   I was hoping to get a bike ride in after work since it's such a nice day. . . But instead I just crashed after I got home.  Blech.

But to be fair, I DID run almost 7 miles in during our St. Patty's Day celebration. . . Of course it was the 9 bars we went to in between all that running that did me in

yogachic - 2010-03-18 9:22 PM Ok, bEASTies, looks like I missed a good day of chattiness today.  I think I'm mostly caught up.

News of the day!  I just registered for the Chicago Marathon!!  This will be my second marathon of the year (and ever), assuming I make it through the one I'm training for now.  I'm kind of excited because a lot of my friends are doing it, as well as 2 of my sisters who will be coming in from NYC and Ann Arbor to do it.  Plus it's on 10.10.10, how cool is that?

KOM - 2010-03-18 5:41 PM Good, let's move on to socks from footware.  I have been thinking of getting these because my 1st and 2nd toes rub quite badly. I have a big callous built up and I am not looking forward to sandal season....the black nail from my half on the other side isn't helping either.  Do you like using injinji's?  Why did you get them originally?

kimk - 2010-03-18 11:01 PM Had a scare yesterday and the school I teach water aerobics at last night. There is a man that doesn't speak very good English and I have a hard time understanding him...well he signed up for lap swimming without knowing how to swim, so I have been working with him after teaching my class, he was working on his kicking but acting very tired. after asking him several times if he was ok and not really getting the response I wanted I called the lifeguard over and we had to help him out of the pool, sat him on the bench and tried to get him to respond to my questions, no verbal response from him, he was always conscious but not really "with it" so I called 911 and when they got there they tested his blood sugars...he was at a 33! Later to find out he is diabetic and after an IV of sugar he came around and had no clue what just happened! It was really scary and I'm glad I took the time to work with him otherwise I might not have noticed he was having problems! They took him to the ER, I hope he is doing better today. I won't see him till Wednesday.

I had a bad ride last night bEASTies and I may be done for the month.

Without going into the whole story I'll just say it involved my me, my bike, a Rottweiller, and me crashing.

My hip is bruised and sore. A section of my quad is sore just above my knee, but I'm having a lot of knee pain, sort of inside my knee. I'm going to take the weekend off and rest. If I'm still having a lot of pain on Monday I'm going to call my doctor.

ugggg sorry to hear. Please take care of yourself, and heal quickly! Was the owner of the dog around?

nice running! Hope you feel better tomorrow...I don't think I could have gotten up after that celebration!
