Just whooped! Slept until 8:30am and forced myself out of bed to go to work. I have been pretty much useless at work today, fighting to keep my eyes open and head focused. Body is sore but improving and the ankle is fine as long as I don't walk -haha! No serioulsy it's is showing some improvement at least in the swelling category! Uploaded some pics to my album if anyone is interested. My scanner at work is broken so I can't scan the "official" pics but these were taken w/ the cell phone my the hubby. Had a 1/2 bottle of Cakebread Chardonnay last night as a welcome home gift to myself -our cats were so happy to see us! All I want is sleep please, more and more sleep! Daughter will be on SYTYCD tonight -she left a message (no spoilers) but it should be interesting !!!!

Hi Evrybody! and THANK YOU for all the amazng inspies and well wishes! I couldn't get to my messages in FL but I'm the airport in Atlanta and just read through the wonderful commments everyone left for me and I am just tearing up because I know you were all out there with me on Saturday. We just flew out ahead of hurricane ida-or I guess she's been downgraded to a tropical storm. Anyway, I'll get my RR up later when I get back to the city. I am walking with a huge limp, I either have a very bad sprain or stress fracture in my left ankle, it's the size of a small grapefruit-oops! Otherwise I feel pretty good just very tired and still floating on ironman cloud 9!!! Official time was 16 hrs. 2 minutes, 30 seconds, i walked the last 10 miles of the run due to my ankle that popped at mile 15. Met so many amazing people and made so many new friends and connected w/ so many BT peeps! Can't wait to do the next one!!!!

RR IS UP! http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=186980
