Stretch it out in May Ghoulies! (Page 57)

kcarroll - 2010-05-24 8:10 AM Morning Ghoulies!  I was a lazy bum yesterday.  Just had to confess.

Hi Kim

See my 4th line down in the post above yours. I was lazy, too.

kcarroll - 2010-05-24 8:41 AM Also, I got a nasty tick bite on Saturday.  After my bike I scraped a small (very, very tiny) brown spot off my temple that I'm pretty sure was a tick.  Today it is pretty swollen and red.  Sad that I am apparently so slow that ticks can launch themselves onto my body while riding (although to be fair, I did stop a few times).  

ironannekidd - 2010-05-24 8:44 AM

Keep an eye on that Kim. If it was very, very small it may have been a deer tick, and those are the type that are most likely to carry Lyme Disease. If it gets red, or you get the distinctive bulls eye around it GET TO YOUR DOCTOR FAST!!!!!!

kcarroll - 2010-05-24 8:51 AM

Hmmmm.  It is pretty red and swollen today. And it definitely was small.  I thought it was a speck of dirt or mud.   May stop by the walk-in clinic tonight after work just to be safe.  Not needing Lyme disease to muck things up right now.

Definitely one of those Better Safe Than Sorry times!

ironannekidd - 2010-05-22 1:32 PM This is my day so far.

I took my son trout fishing in a stream this morning, the first time he's ever done this. My dad went along with us and between the 3 of us we caught 18 fish,  but only 1 trout.

I had my cell with me, but had it in my fishing pack and wasn't paying attention to it. At one point my husband called and left a message telling me he had an accident with a saw and was wondering if he should go to the hospital. Before I got the message he called again and I picked up then. He told me his mom bandaged up his fingers. I told him we'd be home in less than an hour.

He went over two of his fingers, right at the base of the nail with a circular saw. It isn't deep, but he will lose the nails. He finished what he was doing after his mom patched him up and the bandages were soaked through.

I just redid the bandaging and now I won't let him lift anything with that hand. I have them packed pretty good so it is making it difficult to use that hand. GOOD. So for the next few days I'll have to try and keep them clean and covered for him so he doesn't get an infection. He works on computers so he will be much slower next week, but the college kids are gone so there is less pressure.

Hopefully the rest of the day is less eventful. The kids and I need to drop some stuff off at a friends house later and we may do some geocaching on the way home.

kcarroll - 2010-05-23 8:27 AM So Saturday turned into a lovely day.  I rode in the morning with my girl gang.  I wind up riding out and back a lot to check on them as they chat more than pedal.  Actually, it works out fine.  I get more miles in than they want to ride, have peeps on the same route in case something happens, and catch up on their lives. Iced coffee and pastry post ride, then home to clean up and head into the city.  I had a late lunch in the village, did some people watching and got my hair cut.  Impulse mani/pedi on the way back to my car and home before dark.  All in all, a nice girly day.

Not sure what today will bring.  It is getting ready to pour and I'm still in my jams.  Maybe a trainer ride with a movie later this afternoon.   Oh, and a trip to the grocery store for sure.  Slow Sunday.

disturbed275 - 2010-05-23 1:57 PM Hi ghoulios.  Just a quick drive by.  Race was fun, but the wind as brutal with a capitol B!  Ended up finishing well, 9th OA and 3rd AG.  Good enough for me   Be back to catch up later

wgraves7582 - 2010-05-23 7:32 PM Howdy Ghoulies.

Day started off with a beautiful ride, then I got to watch my kids help lead worship at church, then celebrated my son's birthday with the family, then got in a nice 40 mile ride with a great buddy, then wrapped the night up with Subway with the wife and picked the kids up at youth group.

Won't be around much tomorrow - day off again and I am mowing, errands, mountain biking, and son has a concert at night!

evening ghoulies.

feels like forever since i popped in.

life is grand as always.

just finished up my final sunday at the Y.  hoping to catch some xtra shifts during the week to make up the hours.  need.  money.  badly. 

im doing my first lifeguarding job on Tuesday.  yahoo.  hopefully there wont be any major incidents.

its supposed to be a spectacular week weather wise.  80s.  sunny.  a contrast to all this blasted rain we've been having.

i havent been in the mood to run or bike.  but i am scheduled to do two days of body pump this week (mon and wed) and to spin on tues and thurs.

ive just decided it was it is, whatever it is, and im not gonna try and push the whole tri training thing. 

my focus is just maintaining fitness which ive been doing a relatively good job doing.

my friends band is playing this friday, and im really looking forward to having a fun evening out.

im working 4 days out 5 this week at the Y.  three at the desk, 1 lifeguarding.

so its gonna be a full full week for me.

deehtz - 2010-05-24 10:46 AM Hello!!

Wow, lots of injuries, sickness and ticks!!!  Take care everyone!  Hope that everyone recovers well and quickly!

Great racing, Amy and Neal.  Did I miss someone?  Sorry.

We decided to keep the little puppy that showed up in our garage.  There have been no lost puppy reports with Humane Society that match and no responses to the sign we put up.  So now for the joys of house-breaking!    But she sure is fun.  Our older dog is doing pretty well with her.

Have a great day, everyone!

kimk - 2010-05-24 10:46 AM Morning everyone! Had a good weekend here. Did the HIM bike course on Sunday with some BT'rs. It was hothothot! also didn't have enough fluids with me..time to get the aero bottle I have been putting off! ended up with a headache, neck is a bit stiff today. legs were trashed after the ride and have no idea how I will run a 1/2 mary after the bike! Today I feel good, went for a 40 min walk...so wanted to run but could feel the hip pulling so played it safe. I see the PT again tomorrow. I have been a good patient and have been doing my stretches! But know it will take more to be able to run.  I have a swim, vive and 3 water classes today. Have a great day all!
