Proud Pink Peeps (Page 9)

Heh... I usually say some not so nice things under my breath when the bike leg is over and they expect me to start running.

Congrats!  And here's to many, many more!

Bajapat - 2008-03-10 7:22 AM I'm out..... hear is the story..... Well it was a great day yesterday, my daugter and the ex came to the area and we skiied ALL DAY.. the ex went home and we were closing the mointain after one last run(i'm a ski ptroler remeber) so I told julia we needed to get to the bottem pretty quickly but she stopped really quickly and i wasn't able to and I ran right over her.. SOOOOO while trying to snowplow to stop my right leg pretty much did a 360 and i heard CRACK CRACK CRACK.... and i was soo unable to move.. So i radioed in that both julia and i was hurt but because i was so calm they didn't think there was much wrong until someone got there ans saw how bad i was hurting.. to off to the ed i went.there the doc said the x ray showed a lot of fluid in my knee and he is 99% sure my MCL is blown with the ACL. So i asked the doctor if i would be able to run after this was fixxed and he said sure....so i then told him good because i can't now

Owww!  Sorry to hear that. (and it brought back some memories)

Be smart with the rehab and I hope it's a quick recovery.

Oh man, I am so sorry to hear that. I tore my ACL skiing (I was in a ski lesson, so I win the "pathetic cause of injury" award) . But it is what motivated me to do a triathlon- and looking back is one of the best things that happened in my life. So take care of yourself, do lots and lots of PT and by the time you get the OK to run you will be so happy to be allowed to run that suddenly you find yourself loving it!

So yup, the doc is right, you will be able to run afterwards :)

Okay... I know it looks like I'm a slacker....

But I've been spending all my time looking for a bike instead of spinning... and guess what....

I JUST BOUGHT MY FIRST ROAD BIKE (actually it's a MultiSport)

Now time to find pedals and shoes. 

The time should start racking up as that next week I'm at home on vacation... with my new bike!!!!

Ther she is... or shall I name it a him...
I did kind of want a girl for my second child, nut hubby gave me another boy...

hmmm... names???

Oh wait... I got it... It's a white bike... I hope to be fast... and I'm from the south...

How about White Lightnin'?  ( I know the spellings off, but I'm from the south)
And it's non-gender specific...  If I have a good ride, it's a she... If I have a bad ride, it's a he

Love that! I can't quite figure out the gender of mine so I may borrow that line. Although I think it generally leans towards being a he. Hope yours treats you as well as mine is!!! 

I love white bikes.  That one looks like a.... hmm...

Thief

Here's my white bike.  Mooch

Oh noooooooooooooooo!!  Sorry to hear, Pat.  Please take care.   Wishing you a speedy recovery.  I guess some people will do anything to get out of being Cat's slave... 

Congrats!  It's a beauty.  I love, love, love my Speedplay pedals.  Many people like them, even if they don't buy the pink ones .

Heh... Mooch... that's great.  Hottt bike!!!!

So, uhhhh, my Boy Toy told me that he knew I was serious about cycling when I started noticing the bikes and commenting on the bike fit more than I seemed to be checking out the boys on the bikes .

You just haven't seen me in my solid red tri suit  The life guards at the pool have, however.  I got some funny looks that day.

I of course had to name my bike after a character in Breaking Away.  Dave just didn't seem cool enough, though.

Ironic... those are the pedals I was going to get. 

Love the blackwith red... looks devilish!!!!!

So...uh... I guess that means no more skiing this year either?   Gosh, I feel for ya.... wow... and there's still so much left to the season....

Well, here's something to give you a boost, I hope...  76 yr old man... no miniscus left in either knee... torn ACL in both (skiis with knee braces)... and other knee issues (he was a back country guide for SNowbird for way too many years... let me just say that he retired at 30 yrs)... last year he finally threw in the towel took off for three weeks to the Alps in Januaryand came back for double knee replacement in Feb 07.... Yeah, I don't think he runs, but he's back out on the mountain and already up to over 50 days skiing this year.... I haven't seen him in the gym in over three weeks... and that's b/c he's on the mtn.
