So earlier this week I thought it would be best to get back on my triathlon training schedule even though my hips were still hurting. Monday I swam 3/4 mile and felt really good. Then yesterday I had a 3 mile run on the schedule. I hadn’t ran since the marathon 11 days earlier. I [...]
Why is it so hard to make the right eating decisions? I did start the day off right with some oatmeal and raisins. I also tried some pine nuts in my oatmeal but I don’t know if that was the best choice. Pine nuts are more savory then sweet. It was an interesting combination but [...]
No that doesn’t mean I am hosting a contest with a British monetary prize. I am challenging myself as of today to lose 60 pounds. There is no real time frame since I’d probably set something unrealistic and I’d only let myself down. I just want to lose 60 more pounds in a relatively quick [...]
Last night was the Black Tie Ball. Craig and I had a wonderful time!!
The evening started when we checked into our room at Hotel Phillips – a renovated 1930s hotel in downtown KC. It’s a beautiful hotel – it still has a lot of the original features and architecture.  Our room was at the top – 20th [...]
Today I feel very humble and fortunate. I have received many phone calls, emails and congratulatory well wishes for accomplishing something most people would never even think about trying, much less succeeding. A marathon is like this bar that is set so high that most folks (me included) think it is something that just cannot [...]
So the question of the day for me is “Which is more painful…a marathon or trip to the chiroprator afterwards?” Today I say, trip to the chiropractor is much worse. WOW! Talk about some hurt. Dr. Wilmore really layed into my hip tissue to break up that knot even more today. Yesterday was rough but [...]
I had a visit to the chiropractor today and it was painful! Dr. Wilmore found a big ole knot on my hip bone and he loosen it up with lots of force…ugh. I feel so much better now though. I can actually walk without the “needle jammed in the hip” feeling. [...]
Today I’m getting a hair cut/style!!! I’m going back to the salon that shaved off my remaining hair….it seemed an appropriate choice. No clue what I’m going to get. It’ll be short still, but the question is how short? And much to Craig’s disappointment, I won’t be coming home a blonde.
I’m back in the walking [...]
My body is rebeling against me. I didn’t sleep well at all last night. I could not get comfortable and every time I rolled from one side to the other, I heard popping and cracking coming from every joint it seemed. It slow going today. I am sore from head to toe…LITERALLY! Ugh….
WOW…I don’t know where to start on this one. So I’ll recap the entire adventure.Â
I woke up at 2:30 AM. Doug and Kim came by around 3:10 to pick me up and we were off to Bolivar, MO. It was actually a fairly quick ride down there. I was awake but yet not fullly awake [...]
