Yanti & Salty RidiculoSnarky Almost Intelligent-Charming Manatees PART 4 - Full (Page 71)

You wouldn't believe how many of my boyfriends would have ditched me in a heartbeat for my mom. One of them (who is now twice married and has kidlets) still writes her every single Mother's Day and her birthday.

Massage, do you have a foam roller for your ITB?  Rest - oh and start sleeping before 4am maybe...just a thought

I am up ready to go for a run - it's 6.30am.  Yuck.  It is light barely.  Heading down to the beach for a flat run I think just 10km (I love that i write just 10km these days!)

Got an ex colleague coming later to borrow my old roadie (not old at all really)  Anyway she got hit by a car a few weeks back and has been outof action for 5 weeks, her brand new Giant written off.  Still waiting on insurance co. to pay up and she's doing a Ride for Cancer in October so needs to get back out there before her confidence is gone completely.  I said borrow my old one until you get your insurance, she's delighted.  It served me well for HIM so it's nice to pay it forward sometimes

I do have a foam roller and a Stick.  I have a love/hate relationship with my foam roller.  My ITB gets better when I use it, but then I stop using it because it feels better.  I need to use it more consistently.

I have a hate hate relationship with the foam roller and ITB - I never use it!  Ouch too much pain....I'm about to do my shins with a pen - a trick my physio taught me, basically roll the pen up your shins - they should feel smooth, mine a bumpy bumpy.

Mine feel pretty smooth.  It's the top of my legs that are a problem.

Managed to do 10 on each side with the roller.  Holy ouch.

As soon as I get the rolling pin out I want to make cookies...

...chatting to a friend about menopause and my emotional issues!  She said she found that she was fine and balance but if she started overtraining that's when it kicked in....interesting coz I rested for four days last week and felt wonderful.

This weekend 90mins windtrainer, 2.8km swim and a 10km run and I'm feeling a little anxious and over thinking and over analysing everything!  Where's my wine? It's 1.30pm lunchtime boozetime.

Good morning Seattle! 

Good luck racing Manatees.  I am pooped, off out to a cousins for pizza yay!  And cake.  bigger yay!

On the downside, it's 5 am and I'm awake.

On the plus side, I think I figured out what's causing it!  I started taking vitamin B and magnesium to try to help prevent migraines, but I think it's just giving me insomnia.

OMIGOSH that guy I call Spiglet who comes and lurks about in here is doing IMC -- his bib number is 656 in case you check this before you go! His name is Mark Spadoni.

I will look for him on the run. 

Been going steady at about 20mph on the bike. He SAID he was going to take it easy ... although I suppose for him, a 6-hour IM ride would be.

bcraht - 2012-08-27 5:26 AM Having a blast watching IMC--on the side of the highway about 20 km from the bike finish.  Home for lunch now, then heading into the finish to watch until my volunteer shift starts at 9pm.  Have done a nice run along the Kettle Valley Railway trail along Skaha lake as well as a couple shortish OWS.  Staying at friends 5 acre home with horses to help with and chickens to collect eggs from and fruit to jam.  I am in heaven.

goooooo spiglet mark!! Was tracking him this am. Hows he doing now?

that SOB! Well, good for him. I just worry...

Yeah, me too, but it was the swim for his lungs and crashing on the bike for his blood that really worried me. So now that he's staggering (at what would be antelope speed for me) along on the run, I do feel much better.
