I love how I still get excited about Friday in the summer. I did my (so hard) long run today, so I'm drinking Nuun and vodka tonight...had Noodles for dinner and going to Sonic for shakes later. DD1 is camping, DD2 is at a sleepover, and DD3 is heading to bed. :::contented sigh:::
I'm in Lake Placid for Ironman (spectator). Tomorrow I'll ride the course for my last long training ride. Sunday is the race and I'll get a swim in at some point and spend the rest of the time cheering on the athletes.
We were supposed to go to the Yankees/Twins game tonight, but our sitter had a family emergency and cancelled. Thankfully we sold the tickets. We watched ghostbusters and are now going to bed. #old
Drinking homemade watermelon margs, and trying to get up the energy to make my Joe Dirt three year old take a bath. I swear, this kid must sit in the dirt and toss it over his head. The crocs wearing doesn't help! No mullet, but he does also need a haircut.
Perk of my race being on Sunday = drink on Friday night!
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
We went out to dinner with some friends and Mr. GT went to game night afterwards. I am chilling on the couch catching up on TV and trying to determine if I even want to attempt my run tomorrow. I'm starting to get a cold and thing I just need to sleep.
My sister picked up the kids so I was able to get in a 3 mile (really hot) trail run with a friend and now DH and I are going to dinner and the movies.
On our run we saw a wild fire going. CA is on fire again.
I swam 1000 meters, water jogged for 15 minutes, and walked on the bottom of the pool! I also walked a lot in my house with actual shoes! Still have both crutches though. Feels good to be more mobile!
I'm sitting up with my friend ironman-Scott and he's forcing me to make some kind of plan for race day...and laughing at the questions I'm asking.
His wife and I go way back so our families are sharing a house up here near the race start for the weekend. Our four year olds are playing and getting deliriously tired and Scott is humoring me by telling me what training for bigger races is like. Also he expects to finish his 70.3 tomorrow on 5:30. I can't even with these over achievers
H & I sat on the back porch and had mojitos this afternoon, then grilled a pizza & had a glass of wine with dinner. Now we're both nodding off while watching 20/20. We are seriously so fun.
I'd better set out my clothes for yoga & get coffee ready for the morning - I've been dragging lately.
Had a rousing excursion to ikea today after my eye doctor appointment (spoiler alert: my eyesight is getting crappier). I waved hi to lb2006 and CallingAllAngels on the way by!
Now I'm in bed because I've got a 100min trainer ride and an OWS tomorrow. Not sure why I'm still training for an oly when my next tri is a sprint but hey
It was so much fun. Except when we were doing a defense drill and I was holding the pad. The person that I was trying to hold it for pushed me so hard that I fell backwards and hit my head. At the time I felt fine. Today I feel like complete shit. I feel like I'm going to puke and I'm super tired. I'm trying to calm my paranoid mind that the nausea and the sleepiness has nothing to do with the hit to the head. Hopefully I feel better tomorrow.

Ummm...you probably have a concussion and should get to a doctor

I hope you have already done this, but go to a doctor! This is not good!
taratru @drcupcake runaways I called and have an appt for 4:00. The nausea is gone but I have a dull headache and really have trouble with lights today. So I've been spending most of the day in the dark.

Keep us updated! TBH I'm a little surprised they didn't send you to the ER.

I'm kind of ticked off right now bc the girl that pushed me ran over and was freaking out if I was ok. Somebody from the coaching staff did the same. As hard as I hit my damn head they should have had one of the medics (there was at least one per drill station) instead of just believing a person who may or may not know anything about head injuries continue the camp. That coach should have known better. Just leaving the doc's office and I have a friggin concussion.
