I won’t bore anyone with the little bit of training I did last week. It’s funny…it’s so easy to find a reason to skip or cut training short, but I still get pissed at myself for skipping or cutting it short. I’ve got 152 days. Holy crap, I’ve only got 152 days to get in the best shape of my life. It’s pretty easy for me to get freaked out about that. It’s time to start buckling down and doing all my training and to stop hitting snooze in the AM. So, if anyone is looking to go for runs or rides with me let me know. It’s harder to skip when someone is there waiting on you.
Other news…
PT is going well. Knee is getting a little stronger. Some days they kick my butt. My D.O. has suggested I get a series of injections that will, in sense, lube up my knee. Apparently the cartilage is worn away in my knee joint. On the x-rays, the end of my tibia looks all pitted and the spacing between the bones in my knee joint is not consistent. I’ll go in the AM for the first of three injections. Good news is that I only have to take it easy for that day; bad news is that the needle is freakin huge and I’m pretty sure it isn’t going to feel nice.
Little dude is growing up so fast. I can’t believe that he is already 9 months old! He’s crawling around everywhere and loves to get into everything. When he was younger, we said he was curious…now he is just down right nosey! If you have a glass, plate, phone, remote, book, or anything in your hand, he wants it too. His laugh can brighten up my day no matter what. He cracks me up. I’ll get some good pics posted soon.
Buster Britton is this weekend. This was my first official sprint distance race last year. I came in with a time of 1:44. My goal this year is to come in under 1:22. I’ll give it my all. I’d love to place again. It was awesome being in the top 3. I’ll have to be sure to remember that feeling when I take off on the bike up over the mountain or start the run up towards Pevine Falls.
MH’s mom is still doing well with her chemo. Of course, some days are better than others. Her CA125 count is within the normal range. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Uncle Rusty’s cancer is gone. He has been doing great! He got his cancer survivor tattoo (pair of angel wings coming from a cross). It’s some awesome ink. Continue to keep him in your prayers as well.
We are slowly but surely getting our house ready to put on the market. Little dude makes it difficult sometimes. I’m hoping we can get the majority of things done and get a sign in the yard by the end of June.
If you know of anyone in the market for a 3 bedroom / 2.5 bath house in McCalla, send them my way. Same goes for anyone in the market for a 2008 GMC Acadia.
I’ll try and get one more post in before the race to update my training and let the 4 of you know how the injections went. Have a great week!
