So how are all the walking wounded today?

[Wahine]

I have a severe case of lizard butt (dragon azz - hee hee). Does that count?

JK - Hope you are all magically healed soon.

Gawd, it took me a minute to figure that out. Maybe I am wasting my time by not taking the percocets. Maybe it's already too late for me.

Don't be too hard on yourself. The girls on the tri forum are used to these kinds of phrases from me. This is your first exposure. You'll get the hang of it soon.

I feel like I'm whining but my foot still hurts. First thing in the morning and any time I have been sitting for a while I look and feel like I'm 90. Actually my 85 year old Mom walks better than I do and I could never keep up with my late paternal grandmother till she broke her hip at 99 so I aspire to feel 90.

With the remodel the bikes are upstairs, tarped and on the rack. I could ride of course but I need to reconfigure my schedule and make time for me. With work starting on the kitchen flooring on Monday I'm clearing things out of that area but I may have to say "stop, I need a ride or a workout now!" sometimes.

I need to lift, stretch and loose weight or at least 2 out of 3.

I'm getting quite a bit closer to the goal.. I'm not there yet & still have to work on core strength plus getting the glutes & hammies stronger. My knee/leg still "wobbles" a bit but 'that'll hopefully stop once my hammies & glutes are up dere ya know..

I'm happy that i can cycle "normally"-I think I had a mental block about the tightness around my knee and just needed the confirmation from the physio that it's ok & give it a go. YAY..

I missed going to the pool this week as our car died & was only fixed yesterday

I went to my pilates studio and worked on core strengthening stuff for my sholder. I think half of the problem with my clavicle bugging me again is i'm not using the right muscles plus lack core stuff..

So, I am going to work towards the goal of cycling outside by mid feb. I have a bit to go but if i work on the strengthening exercises I should get there.

off to the beach a bit later for a long walk

First PT is scheduled for Monday, but I think I did some damage today. DH and I went out snowmobiling, and 8 hours/230 miles later, my shoulder is KILLING ME! Guess I should probably rethink that MTB ride in the snow/ice tomorrow, huh?

p.s.
Glad to hear some of the rest of you are doing better finally!

[rocknrollgirl]

Shefly,
Sounds like you and I are cut from the same cloth. I just read your post to my DH and said...seeee.....I am not the only one that has a hard time resting.

I have been driving him crazy. He finally asked me to do nothing for an entire week to see if it helped. Not that I had been doing much, just swimming. But after two weeks of very little improvement he said...please, just try.

So I have been good since Tuesday. Light weights upper body, all seated that is it. But I keep trying to make deals with him. " Honey, if it feels better by mid-week, do you think I could try the pool again? "

I just feel the clock ticking and my training slipping away...my season getting closer and here I sit!!! I will probably have to rethink my race season. No way I will be ready by May if this keeps going.

Oh well...patience, books, pots of soup.

But today I am going outside...even if I just have to stand there and suck in fresh air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
