Ghoulies Christmas Core Challenge (Page 50)

Ya...you were too late...haha. Already went out. Only 39min though. I felt better out on the bike than I was before the bike sitting around...less time to think about my sore throat!

Morning Ghoulies.

I am Sick, sick sick. YUCK.

I have things I want to do. But I am going to nap instead.

Yuck

Good morning Ghoulies!

Sorry to hear that you are sick Robin.

I have today off because I have an appt this morning with the cardiologist. I got to sleep in until 6:08 this morning, then the pooches decided it was time to get up. They woke me up then, but I didn't get out of bed until 8:00. It's been a nice lazy morning.

Have fun on Haleakala. Be prepared though. They go really slooooow. It's hard to not just take off and go screaming down to the bottom. 

Sorry about the sore throat. Feel better.  

Morning Most! 

Robin, sorry you are sick. Naps are good. 

Ann, Good luck at the Doc's. Lazy mornings are nice.

It's cold outside. Would anyone like to go warm up my car for me?

Maybe instead of training Milo to be a reading therapy dog, I could train him to start my car.

I'm on a winning streak.  I just won two more games of Catan last night.  LOL
I'm sure the next time I play, I'll start my losing streak. 

I'm sorry Ann.  Families are so much harder to deal with than friends.  Stay strong. 

Glad you  made it safe and sound.

Hey guys. Morning. Throat still angry. Debating my action plan for the day...it's a bit overcast and looking like it might rain...maybe I can convince my Mom into a shopping trip or something.

Run-bike for today. Might do the run soon depending on if I can de-sore my throat with some cold water!

My bum isn't sore from yesterday! Yaaaaaaa!

Sorry you are sick Robin! I commiserate fully. Sick=no fun!

x2! Hope the dr has some answers!

Boo!


Did I scare you??   

LOL...scary toppage! 

I need the village's help. Desperately. I have lost all mojo.Could you all look and see if I left it at your house on my travels to Ann's for gift wraping, Robin's for caroling, and Kim's for a glass of white... I haven't worked out since last Wednesday. I was supposed to do a 7 mile run on Sunday. Yeah. I guess that'll have to be today. I am really getting worried about my run volume and Carlsbad. 
Must.Start.Running.More. 

Robin--sorry you are sick! That sucks! Get well soon.

Ann--keep us updated on what the cardiologist says. Keeping my fingers crosse for you.

Bill--hi.

Kendra--hey there

Melindy--you get well soon, too. Paradise is no place to be sick. 

if I missed anyone---sorry!  

Good afternoon my Ghoulies!

Well my cardiologist appt was at 10:30 this morning. I actually saw the cardiologist at around 11:15, that really ticks me off.

My doc referred me to the cardiologist because she was concerned about the results from my "echo". Apparently when the heart pumps it is supposed to pump at least 50% of the volume in each chamber per beat. My heart pumps about 45%. My doctor said his son's heart does the same thing. Why? Because his son runs all the time, he's in shape, his heart works efficiently. He said he isn't worried about it, from talking to me, he thinks that I'm probably in good shape, or was, and my heart pumps efficiently.

What the cardiologist WAS concerned about was the results of the Holter monitor. I had several small scale arrhythmia's during the 24 hours I had the monitor on. I never felt any of them. What it didn't get was the big ones that I feel. He isn't sure why they are happening. He referred me to another cardiologist, that I can't remember the official name for, but he is a heart rhythm specialist. This doc will do a procedure with catheters in my veins trying to pinpoint what causes the arrhythmia's, and how to stop them. I'm not looking forward to this.

I am allowed to do light cardio now. He stressed light. He told me I can run, but I should cap my runs at 5 miles, and go easy the whole time. He recommended running with someone, or on a treadmill in case I have a problem. The same goes for biking. If I go outside I should take someone with me, or I can just spin no the trainer in the basement.

I don't see the other cardiologist until Jan 20th. I'll let you know how that appointment goes.

This is what I got

Thanks guys. I will have to check out Ann's suggestions after I thaw out. I just got back. 7 miles in the 32 degrees/feels like 25 degrees/10 mph winds. Wow. Brrr. 

Ann, are you flying out to Carlsbad after your cardio appointment on the 20th? Or are you flyin the next day? Or are you going to have to miss the trip?  

So I had a bit of a collision with a vehicle today on my ride. Construction and slow moving traffic. Buddy decides to turn right to take a detour to go around the construction and slow moving traffic...no signal...turned in the middle of the intersection. I was about 5m away...so I grabbed my rear brake...put my foot down..and slammed my arm into the back end of the car to stop myself. I smacked that car good to make sure that guy knew he was an idiot for not shoulder checking for pulling that move.

Bike and body are good. I don't think the bike actually hit the car and technically I wasn't going that fast because I was kind of wary of that intersection to begin with.

The guy then drove off...nice buddy nice. Tourist time on Maui...oh well.

The car behind let me straighten out and I continued on my way...and saw some naked people...

Just a completely random ride...

I guess I will clarify that "I smacked that car good" wasn't me purposely hitting the car...more of a part of me smacking into the car as a part of the collision...I hit it fairly hard.

I kind of hope there is a dent in it because he drove away on me...is that vindictive?
