Enders_Shadow's group - FULL for now (Page 9)

Well I had an explosive night if you catch my drift.  I feel instantly better!   Parasites?  Ewww.

I got a HRM in the mail today from Kristen! Awesome!  Might go for a slow jog with the dog after I eat my soup. 

Plus I got 2 race flyers in the mail today....lol 

bwoglom - 2009-01-11 8:11 PM Hey Everyone!! I hope everyone had a good day. We got our first taste of Urgent Care this morning. Our son's cough continued to get worse and he started weezing when he breathed, so the doctor told us to have him checked out. Nothing serious which is good, they gave him something to help him breath. Hopefully he sleeps better tonight, I can use the rest. It was good to get out and run today. It was windy, but sunny and not too cold. My dog was thankful to go out and get the exercise, as was I. It was tough only doing 3 miles, but that was the plan. Next week is 5, so I'll probably wish I only had to do 3

Oh, poor thing!  It sounds like he has RSV- it has been a really bad year for it. Unfortunately not much to do besides wait it out, and it can go on awhile.  The only good thing is that it seems like albuterol is helping more kids than usual with this strain (it's the nebulizer or inhaler treatment that is often used).

I got back safely from my trip to NH- only a little hairy driving.  I'm very proud of my son, who fenced well (for him) against tough competition, and even beat a ranked fencer in the pools!  He was chuffed (as my Brit mom would say!).  It's always interesting to watch the bad coaching examples there- there are some really nasty former Eastern bloc fencing coaches who just lay into these poor little kids, most of whom end up in tears.  I'm fortunate that my kids' coaches have a much different philosophy.  I just want them to have fun- they don't need to go to international competitions, as long as they enjoy it, I'll support it.

I did get a little trainer ride in when i got home.  I had a workout planned for this afternoon at the gym, but got waylaid by work (I have to figure out how to prevent that...).

Wow, fencing is a sport that I don't think has made it to the West coast.....sounds interesting, though, and I am glad your son did well!

Lynne, you might post in a different BT forum to see if anyone has insight, I am sure you will find help there!

I made it to the gym today for a spin ride and also did my Shred DVD...so far, so good.  My is still being kicked although I did move up to level 2 (of 3).  My big news is that I just found out we get to go be in the audience at the Oprah show for my 40th birthday next month!!  I am very psyched.  Haven't been to Chicago for a while, and my husband has never been, so that will be fun. 

Oh, I hope you and your son are feeling better soon!  It's just not a fun disease. 

I'm trying to figure out how to get a workout in.  I'm tired, and grumpy (some political stuff at work- not at my job but within a national organization I'm a part of), and I'm going to be driving most of the evening to fencing and back.  If I have time after my 3pm meeting I may go to the gym. 

Keep warm everyone!
