Sports Doc @ 4:30, I'll update later today w/ the diagnosis, wish me luck!

Update: 2 MRI's scheduled for Monday, one on the left hip the other on the left heel. Doc thinks there is some kind of tear (ligament/tendon) in the hip and possibly a stress fracture on the heel. Says swimming ok until the results come back. Gave me a RX anti inflamatory and 4-6 weeks PT. If it is fractured I'll be in a boot for 6 weeks :( Either way I think the Mary will be a stretch in Nov., I can switch to the 1/2 so I may do that, I have until Oct. 30 to decide. Not a good day for the dolphin :(

Another day of waiting  - the foot is feeling a little better though, I must admit. Still limping along..one more day till the docs. Won't bore you all with the self pity, so happy hump day peeps!:) Enjoy your training!

Well, walking w/o the cane today -jst call me hop-a-long :) I have to admit sleeping late has been kind of nice, but I definitely miss my endorphins.Think I may be able to hobble to the pool tomorrow, we'll see. Tried to call the docs to get in earlier - no go, don't you just hate doctors sometimes??? "Hi, I CAN"T WALK any chance of getting seen earlier?" "No, sorry just keep  the leg up and ice it until your appointment dear" Guess not being able to walk doesn't qualify as a high priority problem these days-pfffft.

Well, you won't be seeing any workout entries anytime soon. Will probably not workout until after I see the doc on Thursday. I'm getting around w/ a cane but I'd feel kind of stupid going to the gym w/it. I'm hoping once I start walking normally I can at least swim and bike. I wonder if you can train for a marathon in two months?? hmmm...

Run
  • 2h 05m
  • 13.10 miles
  • 09m 32s /Mi
OUCH! well I did myself in today at the 1/2 Mary. Whatever is wrong w/ the hip has now caused a heel thingy (probably plantar fascsis) sp? By mile 3 it felt like a hot poker stabbing me in the heel everytime my left foot hit the ground (everytime no joke). By mile 10 I was seeing stars and managed to limp/jog the last two miles mostly cause I am a stubborn chic. I can now barely walk (nice), luckily Dr. appt. Thurs...I'm getting a little worried I won't be ready In Nov. for my first Mary, but we'll see what the doc says this week. Either way I win today cause I still beat my last 1/2 mary time by 5:00 min. limping and all- so there! GO ME!

August 4

Swim
  • 45m
  • 2300.00 yards
  • 01m 57s /100 yards

Good solid workout

Good swim today. Hip feeling ok after not running - think I will be abe to pull off the 1/2 mary tomorrow. The race looks like fun, so I am excited even though I'm not at 100%. Great tri viewing this weekend, get to watch the tri I did 2 weeks ago later today an then the Ironman 2006 tomorrow after my race. Hope all you BT ers are having a great weekend, good luck to everyone racing this weekend!

August 3

Stayed up late - totally flaked on my workout this morning, slept till 9. Oops -oh well, probably for the best so as not to wear on the injury more before the race Sunday. Light swim tomorrow and then 1/2 Mary on Sunday. Looking forward to Doctor's on Thursday, want my healthy body back!
