Champion 14677 | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Manatee à trois Originally posted by JBacarella Wow! Just WOW! I am so glad the surgey was successful and you all are doing so well. Sushi is an excellent tradition! May you have may Thanksgivings of sushi to come. Originally posted by ponderingfox I agree. I thought about doing the Turkey Trot in Cleveland Thursday morning, and was shocked when I saw the price was $40.00. I was too exhausted to run and things were a little up in the air at that time. We have had another rough week. My wife has been in a colitis flare for almost two years and in about a week and a half ago, it became severe. We went to Cleveland Clinic in the Spring after being referred by her GI. We met with a GI MD and surgeon then. They attempted the last medical treatment to get the disease under control. They tried another biologic that costs $16,000.00 per infusion. It failed and she became dangerously ill. She emailed the GI and surgeon last Thursday. On Friday the Surgeon called and told her to be in Cleveland on Tuesday and they would do a complete colectomy on Wednesday. We have been in Cleveland since Monday night and everything went as scheduled. The surgery went about twice as long as expected because her large intestine was so infected. Fortunately, they could do it all laparoscopicly. She is still in the hospital and we are hoping for discharge tomorrow. She is doing well after the surgery and everything is healing correctly. We have a new Thanksgiving tradition of Thanksgiving Sushi. Our younger kids came down with us. Fortunately Michigan State had an away game, so the older girls could join us for the entire weekend. I am looking forward to getting home tomorrow and having life return to yet another new normal. I'm kind of tired of 2016. So my mom and I went to do the 5k yesterday morning. We hadn't registered ahead of time, and were planning to register on site. Once we got there, we found out that on-site registration was $40! We both decided we would rather keep our $40. I don't think I've seen a 5k cost that much, even being on-site. I was ok with paying $35, but something about that jump to $40 seemed like too much. |

Just recalled--gulp--that although I am not actually racing this weekend, the reason I am not racing is because I am running day of race registration and T-shirt sales for the local Terry Fox run, which generally has over 20,000 people. That ought to count as racing, right?! 20,000 people????? Wow, that's a whole lot of runners!!! |

Master 8247 Eugene, Oregon | Subject: RE: Manatee Mentors 2016 - Manatee à trois It is crazy. I actually ended up leaving before the race, as we had so many volunteers in that area that they couldn't even all fit. Something lost in translation with another organization, and we both ended up being asked to run registration and shirts! Was also having asthma problems--pollution levels have been through the roof for the last few days. I think it is field burning or rubbish burning or both--just seems like for hours every day and night, it smells like burning something. I'm not the only one at work who has mentioned waking up in the middle of the night and noticing a horrid burning smell. Not always a natural something, like wood or leaves or stalks from the rice harvest, either. There is some field burning every year, but this year the smoke/smog has more of a chemical tinge. My lungs feel like crap. I guess asthma is sort of like free altitude training. Even chlorine in the pool triggers low-grade symptoms for me. My tris are usually either right by the ocean and/or in the Pacific Northwest where there are usually few of my triggers, so it's a big mental and physical boost when I can breathe properly! |

I think that's it for my triathlon needs. |

Only tri related in the healthy cooking sense, but it's a rice cooker, steamer, slow cooker and pressure cooker all in one. |

After having the 310 and the 910, going to three fields from four feels so constricting. However, the sales have also chopped the resale value of the 235, so I'm wondering whether to keep it or sell it. At this point I wish I had just kept my 910 and not bought the 235. |

When running, I'm used to seeing time, pace, distance, and HR. Now I have to give up one of those. Each of those feels vital. Of course, I could set up a second screen to scroll to that would have the extra data. |
