Nibbs XXVII (Page 89)

Not really.  Doesn't hurt than I am kinda sick, too.  I've been cold and shaky all day.  I just took a two hour nap, which was nice. 

I have to rest up - we're going to see the new James Bond movie at midnight, so it is going to be a late night! 

Yes rest up - you dont sound well at all no wonder you are feeling a bit grumpy... I would be!!! 

You HAVE to tell me about the new James Bond - I really enjoyed the last one... bit of mindless action and Daniel Craig grew on me...  

Will do!  I really like Daniel Craig.  He's hot!!

Oh...and I think he makes a good Bond.

Agreed.  I want to know too.   

I stopped at the race expo after work.  They finally got with the times.  Disposable timing chips.  Looks like a hospital ID band with your name printed on it and a magnetized strip in it.  No more waiting at the finish to turn in the chip or forfeit $$ if it's lost.

Carytown Bikes had a booth too.  The guy recognized me and asked me about my bike

I've used those a few times this year.  They are a little tricky to get on, but it's really nice to not have to make sure the chip doesn't get lost or have to be returned at the end of the race. 

Have you had it fitted yet Judi?

No, aiting for a little more saddle time.  They did an swesome job with rough estimates from John and Francois.  We lowered the saddle about 1/2 inch but that's as far as I'll adjust without the proper fit.  Sometime after the half   When I'm not doing long run Saturdays and can meet Jen and Kristen at West Creek to ride around a while

haha fair enough - your off time is always the best time for a proper fit anyway... possibly not in the middle of serious run training  

enders_shadow - 2008-11-14 12:23 PM Hey, Nibbs! I heard my name being taken in vain (or something like that)...

Its good of you to come when called  

Bless Slugger - challenge has just gone up for December.... guess that means no Christmas swim challenge this year!

enders_shadow - 2008-11-13 7:23 PM Hey, Nibbs! I heard my name being taken in vain (or something like that)...

I only said that I'm going to try and get the Blue fitted properly sometime after tha half and would like to meet you and Jen at West Creek for a little ride on her

enders_shadow - 2008-11-13 7:24 PM How was the expo, Judi? I'm heading over tomorrow afternoon...Elder Monkey is doing the kids race tomorrow night, but I want to spend some money time at the expo, so I'm picking up both our packets before I go get them from daycare.

Some cute shirts and hats....I got a tee shirt from 3:16 wear with a nice verse on it.  Another water belt, this one has smaller bottles.  Won an arm band for the ipod--course I already have one so I'm using it for my cell phone so I can locate John after the race.  Almost bought R a cute pair of earrings but she didn't know if they were "sensitive ears" worthy. Had little footprints on them like the footprints in the sand poem.

I said "something like that" A ride is good, although I've been ducking my co-worker claiming it's too flipping cold. But for you, I would freeze my toes off.

I am honored   But I think it's just you want to see my bike

kns57 - 2008-11-13 11:58 PM Morning NIbbs. I'm thinking we are needed Nibbs notes again for those of us who can't keep up.

Or we could all just work from the premise than none of us know what is going on really.. 

OK, so I'm not the only one who's confused. LOL

I'm pretty sure we're all confused!

enders_shadow - 2008-11-13 6:10 AM Morning, Nibbs! Sorry I haven't been around. I'm kinda swimming underwater right now with work & home stuff. But I'm so jazzed about the race on Saturday!

How much rain will we be running in this time?

In a way, I'm glad I'm not running.

I'm sure you updated everyone yesterday Jen, but how did your appointment go?

No worries.  That was probably 20 pages ago. 

I have a torn medial meniscus in my left knee.  She said there's a 50% chance it'll heal on its own.  I have a PT appointment next week and a follow up on 12/3.  If it's not better on the 3rd, we'll get an MRI in preparation for surgery.

I know there's a chance it will get better, but I'm not very optimistic about the situation.  Probably because I'm grumpy and upset about everything. 

pretty understandable

My mom had a torn meniscous a couple of years ago

bad news - she had to have surgery

good news - full recovery (and she is a WHOLE lot older than you are )

I am not as confused as I probably should be...I spent to much time going back reading missed pages.
