Yanti & Salty MAD MANATEES Mentor Group - FULL POD (Page 81)

I tried to run my 5 miles yesterday and couldn't!!!  There is something wrong with the outside of my ankle on my left foot.  I'm worried.  I can walk without pain, but when I run, that's when I feel the pain.  I'm going to lay off the running (BOO) and swim and bike until I feel I can run.  I just don't know when I can.    

Iceing the area and taking ibuprofen is what I'm going to do and just pray I can get some run time in before my HIM.  

Question:  Say I lay off the running for a week, what should my volume be to ease back into the running?  I know I can't follow the run part of my plan right now, but I don't want to overdo it when I start running again.  My HIM is June 10.  

Hey hey g'day Manatees. I've had a fabulous and difficult birthday, both. Please think well of my Mom--she is  in the hospital in a very bad way. As in, like, me at my worst, except she's 78 with a heart condition. I've been playing a lot of specialists all day over the phone (translated through my brother, whose medicalese is worse only than his Indonesian) and I'm wery tired.

Trying not to get on a plane to Jakarta as my own health is still tenuous but it's looking like I'll go tomorrow afternoon. We'll see. Maybe I'll check myself into the hospital too!

Kirk, I have been praying for your FIL and your wife, and I hope all is as well as can be expected, especially with the cardiac cath.

It's official - according to my definition, I AM A TRIATHLETE!!! I had a really good race yesterday (other than the swim, OMG ugh!! Hello sidestroke, I love you because I can breath while I do you!) and had a great time, which is what mattered most to me. We had perfect weather, warm but not hot, and overcast. i just finished my RR. I finished 250m swim, 10 mile bike, 3.5 mile run and 2 transitions in 1:22:22! I was 127 out of 250, not too shabby! And if I was still 29, I would have won my age group (there was only one woman in 25-29, but 13 women in 30-34, of which I was 11th).

So, I've got some work to do on the swim and I'll really need to step up with some brick work to help me improve my run time, but my goal was to get through the swim, average over 15pmh on the bike and run 35 minutes or faster, so all goals met!

Ooooh, I'm a rat, so I think that makes us compatible. I'll bet Allen is something not compatible maybe a Rooster, since he's a...

So I'm back from the trip, had a great time overall, but now dealing with family issues.  My shoulder hurts like a dickens from the ride, it was sore along the trapezus muscle but then caused some burning pain while helping my parents out with some stuff and is just painful at this point so easy on the swimming me thinks this week will try tomorrow I think.

Need Manatee thoughts and prayers for my Wife's father who is in the hospital, he had a cough for over 6 months that he never got checked out and was recently diagnosed with walking pnemonia which my wife didn't think sounded right, always trust nurses.  It wasn't he got winded walking to the mailbox and then got real sick sunday night and they took him to the hospital where they diagnosed him with congestive heart failure.  My wife just called and asked me to research flights to Cleveland, there is news but not sure what- she is leaving work early to head up there.
