I love Dee - yes I do! I will be curious to see if anyone wants to reject the pink!

Um. Got any guys in the group?

We've got mostly guys in OUR group. They must have scoped pictures of Mila .

We've got Tara and Gwendolyn (GyGy). The rest of the group is guys. Very little ~~estrogen~~ female influence in the room. Oh wait...Mila takes care of that...

Morning, Nibs!

I peeked back a couple pages, but it looks like you had "grownup" time again last night...so I stopped reading.

Things are great at home...I'm so happy to be home.

Today, home again with Younger Monkey - training is going OK, except I took her to daycare for 2 hours yesterday while I had a meeting and she had more accidents there than she did for me in 2 days. GRRRR - and they were the ones complaining that we hadn't gotten it done yet.

I'm going go grocery shopping after I drop Elder Monkey at school and then I think I'll go to the pool. It might be good to, like, um, swim....(else Hector will come after me).

Morning nibbs. I get to go and get fitted for a night splint for my PF. Joy joy. But if it helps, then I am all for it. don't have to be at work until 5pm tonight, so I have a day of shopping ahead of me. My son finally sent me a list for xmas for him and his girl. She and I are total opposites I didn't even know where to start with shopping for her.

Me - natural hair, no make up, 5'8 1/2, only tatoos are radiation marks, pierced ears only, BT junkie & Tri challenged, librarian

Her - Pink highlight when we met, blue now, Tons of make up, I think her eyes were done up like butterflies last time I saw her, 5 foot even, tatoos-more than I can counts & who knows where, Multiple piercings all over, exercise - whats that, model on the internet

Not judging, just pointing out differences between us. I actually do enjoy her company when they visit.

The conversation certainly changed flavors after I went to bed. Hey, Dee. There's a great sprint here in SC in April that's perfect for beginners and it is small. It is a 300 yard pool swim, a 12.4 mile bike and a 5K run. It was the first tri I ever did and I love to do it every year. It is in Greenwood.

Mila, Do Mooseman and SC HIM. That's what I'm planning (if I can stay healthy).

Shower time and then chiro appointment.

Morning Nibs!

Kristen, glad to hear things are great! younger monkey will get there I remember when my kids were that age, they sometimes regressed when they went back to daycare after being home with me (I always kind of wondered if it was because they were mad at me - lol)

Kendra - I dealt with PF from May - November of this year - I 'got the boot' in July

I religiously wore the boot for 4 months - I think it really helped, the boot didn't bother me that much. I also taped it for the first few weeks until I could at least walk without being in intolerable pain.

1. stretch, stretch, stretch! I can recommend some stretches if you're not already doing some

2. ice, ice, ice - and not just an ice pack - I know this sounds horrible (and I will say it is not fun) but, fill up a bowl or tupperware container with ice and cold water - submerge the foot for 12 - 15 min.

I won't lie - it stings like h3ll the first few minutes, but if you can gut it out, it becomes tolerable. I can tell you that the icing was a big turning point for me.

Pam - hope the chiro can help your shoulder out!

Thanks Beth,

I've had PF for years (10+). I know all about the stretch, ice (yeah in a bowl), taping, but I think the run challenge last month was the straw that broke the camels back (or rather foot). Let's hope the boot will do the trick. Had surgery on the right foot 10 years ago and I would like to avoid that if possible. I'm glad to hear it was successful for you.

D001 - 2007-12-13 3:35 PM Will you be the engine for my run? If not, well, like I said - bring a spatula. LOL

You have 6 months to practice running... you coud do it in that time if you put your mind to it!

x2!!!

Dee - I have seen how hard you work and the amount of training you put in. You really will have no problem with a sprint - I truly think you could do an Oly easily as well - but, a sprint is a great place to start!

I personally am a fan of the sprint distance for first timers, but everyone is different

Thank you for the vote of confidence. Of course, if I spent a bit less time on BT, I could probably train more. LOL

Ding, ding, ding!!!! Quote of the day...oh, not that it applies to you so much, but because it RINGS SO TRUE in my situation...

Gotta get back to prepping for my next meeting...I can't wait until retirement...

OWWWWWWWWWWWW

I may have injured myself on the new trainer this morning.

My left ankle lower leg hurts like hell now. No reason, its throbbing like its been sprained. I had no pain until after walking around at lunch, and then late this afternoon the pain set it. I don't know what this is but it HURTS. Bad. I've got ice on it to numb it but the pain better let up or I'm back at the doctor tomorrow.

Spokes, I think you're an admitted pedal masher. Calm down on the intensity my friend. Aerobic is good, anaerobic is mostly for race situations. Hopefully that's not the reason for the pain. Trainers are a great resource for increasing your average RPMs and working on strengthening your 'weak leg' (single leg drills).

Get better.

OK, let's see... so far today I went to the dentist, had to cancel my training appointment, had to have a new perscription called in for Exhibit C who is not getting better, briefed the mentor group on RPE. Who is bringing me some lunch, reading me a story and putting me down for a nap??

Oh, hi, by the way .

Oh, hi, by the way .

Hey! You should know. Can you mess up an ankle clipped in going too hard after not doing much cycling for a couple of months?

I suppose you could... but it would surprise me if everything else was OK. Did you have the bike completely checked out after the accident (just wondering if maybe there's a crank issue? Heh. I said crank)? No new pedals, shoes or cleats? Cleats tight and aligned properly? Were you seated the whole time or were you in and out of the saddle?

Nooooooo pedal mashing!!!! Last question... were you doing single leg drills in addition to or as part of your intense intervals?

But if it helps, then I am all for it. don't have to be at work until 5pm tonight, so I have a day of shopping ahead of me. My son finally sent me a list for xmas for him and his girl. She and I are total opposites I didn't even know where to start with shopping for her.

Not judging, just pointing out differences between us. I actually do enjoy her company when they visit.

Hee hee hee...This story reminds me of one my sugar daddy told me after his parents met me for the first time (10+ years ago). I have a tattoo on my upper outer thigh...you can't see it unless I'm wearing shorts or a short skirt - otherwise, I appear outwardly "normal" - natural hair, little makeup, etc. Anyway, I met his parents in the summer, we had a lovely visit, and then we were getting ready to leave and I was sitting in the car wearing shorts. His mom peeked her head in the window to say something & saw the tattoo...

Called sugar daddy up later that night and said they really enjoyed meeting me, and they didn't think I was one of "those people" - you know, the people who have tattoos? It's funny what perspectives people have...and a good thing my in-laws have never seen my brother without his shirt on...he's really one of "those people"!

My other brother called me last night (the straight-laced one, who isn't one of "those people") - cracked me up because he asked for money towards a Roomba for his X-mas gift...I don't know why it's funny - but my "little brother" buying a robot vacuum makes me fall over laughing.
