Nibbs XXVIII (Page 60)

Niiice! I have really got a think for white bikes at the moment I just LOVE the pink accents!!!

Any chance of a white saddle too? That might just be me talking...

Its fantastic Pam!

Hi Nibbs! Im just back from my ride... had a little incident with a newbie cyclist and I hit the ground - thankfully not at any speed!

Bike is fine (priority one) and I have scratched up one leg... not going to look so greatwith my knee legnth party dresses on Wed and Friday night though!!! I tried to take a picture of the damage but it doesnt come out very well... oh well.. Im assuming its mainly superficial and Im lucky there wasnt a car behind me!

It seems I always mar my arms or legs right before any sort of formal dress event.  Not fun. 

Too bad you can't post the damage...

I should post an update of my 'stitch' damage.  There is faint scaring-it looks like tic marks across the back of my leg. 

It looks pretty superficial so as long as I dont get bruising I might get lucky and find the works of it goes pretty fast  

The only thing is I need to shave my legs... I hadnt done them as i wanted them freshly done for Wednescay night... but now... well Im not sure how Im going to go shaving them...

QueenZipp - 2008-11-29 10:12 AM Running still hurts I was sore for the first half mile then felt pretty good but by mile 2.5 I knew I needed to head in. Slow and painful BUT, I got to try. I amsupposed to be videotaped at the Dr's this week so I won't run until we do that and see if she has any feedback to help me. I did PT pre-run, figured something to strengthen the hip flexors before running was probably a good idea.

I hope the Dr has some tips to help speed your recovery. 

Thanks!

I think it's a balance between resting to heal and learning how to train past the pain.  I'm working on "no whining" right now, focusing on the things I can do right now and those things will help come next race season.

Thats an awesome attitude Judi - stick with that and I just KNOW you will come through this!!!  

Yay thats great news... it will be one HUGE stress off your plate! Hooray!

you could get out the tweezers.

No kidding-now I just need to come up with some moolah...no treats for me for a while.  I think that I will be getting by with loose pants until after the holidays-I usually get some gift cards for Christmas.   

Hey, hey, SuperCat!  Just a quick note to say "HI"!

Hi!!!! How are you??? Know any secret cures for road rash? 

Well thats a good thing... hang in there and all will be ok - moving house always wipes me out of money too... its just one of those things I guess!

Ow... out of grazed skin.... no thanks!

enders_shadow - 2008-11-30 12:26 PM Happy Saturday Night, Nibbs! Having a great Thanksgiving weekend - in-laws in town since Wednesday...lots of eating and drinking, but am truly enjoying the company. Wednesday night we had organic whole-wheat lasagna. Thursday was a traditional Thanksgiving (I went with the squash gratin - it was good, but the recipe made far too much). Yesterday was leftovers and margaritas/Mexican. Today was nibbles at a bunch of wineries (oh, and a bit of wine) and pizza for dinner. If I make it through the weekend without gaining 5 pounds, I'll be a happy girl.

Whoa that sounds like an AWESOME long weekend!!!! mmmm... so whats on the menu tomorrow?

After my 1 second away from becoming a bad statistic, I'm going to say time and patience.  Don't cover it up completely as to allow it to breathe.  Some persons claimed a little vaseline on it to keep it moist (not overdone so as to not allow the wound to breathe), but I don't know about that.

So Im guessing it will be around for the week... oh well I will be fine!!! Take Care and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Sometimes it can be really painful in the shower-I apply a liberal coating of vaseline and then wipe off the excess when I am done.

That is what I did for these:

This is a friend I made the next morning...

I went snowshoeing/backpacking/camping at Mt Rainier early last spring.  We had a night time visitor who left his signature outside our doorstep.  I got this pic the following morning.  It was a small fox-you can see the trail that his tail left.

I love this pic I took at Mt Rainier last month.  It is a little fir-less than 3ft tall. I really love the apical bud (the tip of the tree).  The needles are turned in and unfurl as the tree grows. I was able to Identify it the next week-an Abies amabilis.  I don't know what the common name is. 

This pic was taken the same day-it is where we lost track of the trail(we were only a quarter mile from our destination).  I guess that I have issues with switchbacks...we probably could have found it and made it to our destination, but we were loosing the light.

Dave and I are in the pic.  Maneesh, as usual, had the camera.  Hhe avoids photos. 

I do have one picture with maneesh...
