I got a free pair of zoom vomeros today. Score!
Also, I recently got my title upgraded from director to assistant athletic director, which is nice.
No fitness yet today, but I hope to do something with the kids after work.
Theia, the picture was from the Chicago Marathon meet up. The older gent is one of the Shawns' dad.

Actually, the no cussing thing might be even funnier, cause then it's left up to our imagination as to which ones are being used.

Rawr duckie! You da man! (hope a pay raise went with that title change, too!)
Kath - /snicker.. you're right. I find the censorship a bit annoying (but hey.. free forum... can't complain), but the *** marks will be a bit amusing. As will our attempts to get around the filter program.

G'morning, folks.
Well, the knees are holding up okay so far, after Monday's run/walk gig. Yesterday I went to Spinning and did the usual Body Pump class. The knees were fine in spinning. In BP, it's weird... for lunges, squats, and rows where we're bending the knees a tiny bit, the knees do feel a bit weird. Tightness in places i was used to feels less than it did before. Yet, there is tightness in places there wasn't before. I figure that's not to be unexpected though.
Plans tonight are to walk (just walk) 4-5 on the TM to keep moving, but to scale back.. then I"ll probably take tomorrow off for legwork all together. Friday - who knows.
Hope you guys are having a fantastic morning!

I guess I haven't posted in awhile...glad your ribs are back in place, Kath; congrats, Duck; be patient and brave in your recovery, Ailerie.
I haven't tested the **** censor yet, but I don't really give a **** what it does...
Ok, workouts this week - strength Monday, run and sucktastic open water swim practice yesterday, and a trainer ride this morning. As you probably saw on facebook, I did register for the sprint on Saturday. I clearly need as much swim practice as I can get in the next 24 days. 24 days?!?!? Oh ****! PANIC!!!! Ha ha, creating that date tracker spreadsheet might have been a bad idea!

Hi guys. Yay for my cousin Duck's new title. And yay for RIL and family on their awesome races.
Not-fun stuff here. I woke up at 2:30 Sunday night/Monday morning with my left leg in immense pain. I had no idea wtf was going on. I took some Advil, but it didn't help. After an hour of fruitlessly trying to get back to sleep, I finally called the 1-800 number for my health insurance company, since they have a RN on duty 24/7, and it's not like I could call my primary doctor at that hour. After describing the problem, she told me to go to the ER. Okay, so off I went...
Thankfully the ER is pretty dead at 3:30 on a Monday morning, so I got seen fairly quickly. After describing my symptoms, the doc immediately decided it was sciatica. And yup, that link explains pretty exactly what was going on. So I got Rxs for muscle relaxers and painkillers. I spent Monday and Tuesday lying down pretty much all day, since it hurt to move. Today I'm in a little better shape. My left leg still hurts, but it's manageable, and I made it to work. Hopefully I'll be back to my old self in a day or two...
So obviously, no running over the last couple days. I'm registered for the 5k at the airport this coming Saturday, but at this point I don't know if I'll make it. If I don't, oh well. This also won't help my marathon training. Just 5.5 weeks until the marathon in Idaho, and losing time now is not a good thing...
I'm pretty sure I know why this happened. I sit at a desk all day working on a computer, and I know I have shitty posture. Plus, I hardly ever do any exercise other than running. So my core is way too weak. I've been telling myself for eons that I should do more core work, but I've always been too lazy to put the time into it. Well, after this episode, I'd **** well better start strengthening my core. Please guys, kick my ass and make me do some strength training!

Bob, I am there with you!!! My chiro thinks all my SI issues are either causing sciatica or causing weakness in the sciatic nerve, which is contributing to the tingling and pain I occasionally experience. The good news is, from what I've heard and read it's not a constant thing - it comes and goes.
Is it time for a core challenge?
