In Search of My Body vol.9 - I Get By With A Little Help From My Friends

[lisaviolet]

Jo - what Nancy said +1. First goal is to reach the starting line healthy.

Ronda

Listen to them Jo.

 

[lisaviolet]

So, TM mind games it shall be.

Share. Share. Share.

two quick comments for Jo. then it's back to my normal chaos.

1) yes. I think you'll be fine if you only train to 10 miles. When I did my full my training only went to 20. In the actual race, I still had a 10K to run after hitting the 20.

2) lower back stiffness is quite often due to tight hamstrings. When do you go to run club next? You may want to talk to someone about proper stretching, because if it is actually tight hamstrings causing your troubles that's a relatively easy *fix*. A nice massage wouldn't hurt either!

let's see. Go Packers, Go Steelers (or rather "go team that Brett Favre is no longer associated with so now it's time to win the big one without him" and "go Roethlisberger, because, well, after all these years you've earned it").

Da Bears are not doing so well, it may be a sad day in Chi Town tomorrow.

Lisa, There is ALOT I don't know about WDW, I did not know about the back way in to Epcot until I met you ladies.
I plan on seeing Illuminations Friday night. I have never been on RNR, too chicken sh!t but Meg tells me she will take care of that

Lisa, I am so sorry about your dad, can't you call the nurses station and get them to tell you whats going on?

So cute Jo. You will LOVE RNR. You will just love it.

I always forget that not everyone knows WDW like it's their hometown. I really do forget.

Someone came up to me at the BW and asked me if they were walking in the direction of the LEGO PEOPLE place. So cute. I assumed they meant DD and showed them where the buses were. But they were going to walk.

I will phone my dad as soon as I know he's awake for dinner. I've been talking him the whole time. But I don't want to wake him (I'm over two hours to where he is but if I had known he would have been kept beyond 48 hours....) He's of sound mind but he never ever ever asks a darn question. Ever. And I ask a thousand.

He took AGES to wake up after surgery and he's sleeping a lot. So I'm sure there are monitoring all that. And his pain level. He was supposed to be home yesterday morning. This surgery was necessary but it wasn't all that serious - well you know what I mean.

It's possible that they are really going hour to hour on releasing and that it's no big explanation.

If I get nada from him - I will try the nurses but I doubt they will be allowed to tell me Jo. But thanks.

Kelly, hows your running going. Is you Aunt still doing it with you?

Its going well so far! Yes shes still doing it, and enjoying it too! She blows my mind sometimes!

Kelly!!!!!!!!!!! When's the weigh-in?

Its on Wednesday

Sorry about your dad Lisa

 

[Ronda93]

Jo - a lot of half plans top out at 10 miles. The last three are on thrill alone! Don't worry.

Lisa -

About the LEGO people. I try to explain that you can't walk from place to place at WDW and people just don't understand. I finally laid WDW out on a map of Kansas City at the same scale... See, here's the MK downtown and Animal Kingdom is in Westport (bars and entertainment district 40 blocks away).

Kelly - good job and good luck!

Ronda

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Kelly your Aunt WOW"s me!!

Hugs to you Lisa Tons of Hugs

 

[lisaviolet]

Well,

It is what I thought - he's simply weakened by the operation. And they don't why to the extent that he is. So they're checking all his vitals. Checking his heart. Pain meds etc. etc.

Just got off the phone with him. And he's telling EVERYONE not to come and see him. He doesn't want company. Imagine me sighing. His sister is two seconds from the hospital and he's told her not to come over again. He doesn't even want a TV.

It's a good thing I'm not closer because I think I would be annoying the heck out of him. Because I would be ignoring his wishes. I know - I know.

Just venting and frustrated. They are thinking of releasing him tomorrow. They tried today.

okay..okay.

Kelly - woohoo Wednesday. And please remember if it happens to not come THIS week that the running could have you holding onto water. They say when anyone embarks on an intense new program sometimes that happens (I know you exercised before - just that I assume this is a little more intense). Look at me - I'm making sure you're okay because I'm so excited AND nervous.

I can't wait.

Thanks guys. I"m sure everything is fine. My mind is just overwhelmed right now.

So funny Ronda. So darn smart of you.

And I agree Jo - wow on Kelly's aunt. As I talk from my chaise.

 

[cantwaitvaca09]

Try not to worry to much Lisa, but I do understand how you feel.

OMG, not a good day for DA BEARS!! Now on to the Steelers game, I sure hope the win, cuz if not my hubby is going to be cranky.

 

[HockeyKat]

We are all so WDW nuts that we don't remember that not everyone knows EVERTHING.

Gosh I know THAT one. We practically correct cast members in this household.

about your dad.


Good day today. Slept in late, hung out in the room until 1-ish, and then headed over to the Magic Kingdom. Lunch at Cosmic Rays, did Buzz, TTC (twice - Space was temporarily down and I was inordinately excited by Space with the lights on), Space, Haunted Mansion, and Pirates, then took a complicated series of boat and bus to get to DTD.

Park was crowded but not crazy. Temps are in the 60s so it's long sleeve/long pant weather (at least for me!), but sunny and not bad.

Dinner at Paradiso 37 tonight. Fail. Food was edible, but Applebee's-grade and DTD is just so far away. At least we got a 20% discount, although I am not sure if it was DVC or AP discount.


Oh, and I am a geek... totally wore the foot pod and watch. According to it, we walked 5.8 miles today.

 

[amykab]

So, I totally didn't mean to disappear like I did. Spent Mon-Wed last week basking in the lovely warm weather we had here and soaking up every moment of my last few days of leave. Thurs and Friday were back at work. Went ok. Loads of new procedures. Had to work third shift friday night to finish off some training. That went really well. It was nice to catch up with some people I hadn't seen in awhile. Tomorrow I begin my normal 2nd shift schedule!!

I completed all 4 runs this week. the long one was 6 miles today. it went well! my left hip hurt a bit around mile 5. This is a new pain. It wasn"t too bad and worked itself out when I ran a bit.

I did LOSE a pound this past week too, despite being totally off on my water and a bit on my food.

Jo- 9 miles is fine. I did that for my one of my halfs and that race was one of my best times ever. And of course this one I will be lucky to hit 9 miles.

 

[amykab]

Almost forgot. Booked WL for next sunday night for 165! my mom is coming down and we were planning on MK on Sunday for the day. I looked up rates and since they were decent we'll spend the night!!

Kat- any tequila drinks at Paradiso? That's what I liked most there. Food is ok. Nothing stellar.

 

[Ronda93]

Kat - how are you liking the FR60? Great use of technology!

Ronda

This is my first time using it and it wasn't for a real run, so I have no idea how accurate it is. However, it seems to be easy enough to use, and it's not huge on my wrist. Although, I am FAR from petite, so YMMV on that one.

You don't get the mapped version of course, but I think I am okay with just distance and pace. I also really like that I can use it for TM runs.

The foot pod is very wee... way smaller than I thought it would be. You can't even feel it on your shoe.

I will let you know what I think after a real training run outside. I plan on using RunKeeper on my phone to check for accuracy.

 

[lisaviolet]

Good day today.

Have fun Kat!

It was nice to catch up with some people I hadn't seen in awhile. Tomorrow I begin my normal 2nd shift schedule!!

Well that's a nice part of it, eh? To see everyone.

How's Jackson? Please inform him that he can't grow up as quickly as Delena. Smiling. We can't go baby to little boy in an instant.

Almost forgot. Booked WL for next sunday night for 165! my mom is coming down and we were planning on MK on Sunday for the day. I looked up rates and since they were decent we'll spend the night!!

Nice grab Amy.

Have a wonderful time.

[AKASnowWhite]

<grumble grumble, curse and swear> I'm back UP this week - negating my last weeks loss. Basically back where I started.

Time to re-evaluate. Lots of things.

Getting the kids off to school, then heading to the gym to get in my 9 miles. This could take a while I'll be back later to catch up on everything.

 

[3DisneyKids]

Happy Monday! I have to go back and catch up. Play is over...it was really good. Glad it's over though.

Now sitting at urgent care while cammie gets casted. Small fracture to her wrist from Saturday's game. We let it go all week end but she was still sore this morning so in we came. She got the save though and finished the game. Didn't even come out. And she isn't out for the season v
