Bike it to the MAX in June Ghoulies!!! (Page 65)

mndymond - 2010-06-23 3:19 PM Just finished a surgery...stabilizing time now...

I had an "incident" during surgery...I won't tell you all what it was, but it took me awhile to chill out after! Haha. Oh well...everyday is a new learning experience?

Eating time!

Also...did the first long run in a long time today..."long" run...long is relative right now. My zass is kind of deciding if it is angry or not. Wearing my compression pants in the lab today...don't care if I look like a tool. Ha.

 Chips and Salllsssaaaa time!

kcarroll - 2010-06-22 9:02 AM Ok, I am meeting free for a while.  Today I am going to share 2 easy, no-cook, veg recipes that I think you might like.  I'm always looking for meals that don't require the oven/stove this time of year.

Creamy Avocado and White Bean Wrap

2 tbs     cider vinegar
1 tbs     canola oil
2 tsp     finely chopped canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce
1/4 tsp  salt
2 cups   shredded red cabbage
1 med   carrot shredded
1/4 cup cilantro
1 15 oz can white beans (rinsed)
1 ripe avocado
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tbs   minced red onion
4      8 to 10 inch whole wheat pita wraps


1) Whisk vinegar, oil, chile and salt in a medium bowl.  Add cabbage, carrot, and cilantro.  Toss to combine

2) Mash beans and avocado in another medium bowl with a potato masher or fork.  Stir in cheese and red onion

3) Spread 1/2 cup of bean-avocado mixture onto a wrap.  Top with 2/3 cup of slaw.  Roll up.

Makes 4 wraps.

iowagander - 2010-06-23 2:45 PM OK guys, I have a big dillema. My back is sore today. Very sore. As in I can barely stand up straight right now sore. My first tri is in 4 days, and I am freaking out right now. I am going to try and see if a massage will straighten things out this afternoon. Wish me luck...

Hope your back feels better Tom!!! You have a few days!

Channelling Ann now.

Breath in.... out with the bad, in with the good. Massage and get some of those stick on heat pads. Soak in hot water. Stress is BAD for back pain.

Sending you "by by back pain" ju ju.

And thank you as well Robin. I will keep you all posted...

You are a crazy PAM and don't you forget it!

iowagander - 2010-06-23 2:58 PM

Thanks Melissa.

mndymond - 2010-06-23 5:17 PM

I still want to be dainty!  (harumph.!)

My friend just messaged me this: you are fast, if you wanted to be small you should have just skipped the whole ironman thing and done weight watchers...



Haha. Woe is me.

kns57 - 2010-06-23 4:53 PM
Is that where we all went wrong?  LOL

Take Robin's advice as she channels me.

Relax. You aren't going to gain or lose any fitness in 4 days so don't worry about that.

A massage would be great! Heat, muscle relaxers, stretch.

Do you remember doing anything to hurt it? Maybe some lifting or twisting?

Relax. Breathe.
