June's mom You'll love being part of the Dingoes!
, that I took dd2 to the emergency room the other night b/c she was sucking air. Ive never taken a kid to the ED, but, I have been heinously ill only 2 times in my life, both in the last 2 years, and both times dh was working and I had to get to the ED for someone else to take care of me. Same this time. On the up, though embarresing, side, dd2 improved dramatically on the car rise there, so by the time his colleagues saw us, I felt like a panicky first timer. sigh.
. I need to take more action than just intending to get strong, as that isnt happening, and may or may not help. What I want to know is; if I see someone, do I see a PT or sports medicine doc first? Dh suggests not seeing an ortho as they are surgery skewed. I want to know the statistics on people returning to running without surgery, b/c if I *need* it, I want to get it done sooner than later, but if I dont, I would be encouraged by numbers that say so. The other question is; Jaygee, you did have surgery? Am I remembering that you too have a tear (or two?). What did you do, what were you told, etc? What was your course and path to recovery?
) and ankle, and today my leg hurts! So now what?
I had been debating running tomorrow but now I'll wait until next week. I think I'll use a Higdon plan for the mini. I looked at smart coach and one other that I was liking because they looked like 'more'. I liked that before this ugly injury/soreness. My current thinking is to be careful.
:
!. And you made me GULP when I read that the mini is only 17 weeks away. I'll have to check on the Smart Coach from RW for my training plan. Paces help.|

in about a month. Of course, I got pregnant right after that. Menisectomy is a pretty fast recovery. My right knee gives me no pain at this point. The left is occasionally sore when I get out of allignment. I have early signs of osteoarthritis on MRI and the ortho told me to stop running. I say that if it doesn't hurt, it's all good. I figure I'll need a knee replacement eventually, but I may as well run and enjoy it while I can. My ortho doesn't like me...|

dh is pretty broken up about it today (they were pretty good friends) and I am so sad for my friend, who is now a 36 year old widow. he had a history of manic depression but was on meds and there were no indications. so please keep them in your prayers/thoughts, he had two little kids.
I would love to have all of you for dinner or to stay over night /weekend what ever you need. We have a small house but will do our best to accomodate any/all Dingos (love that most like the spelling this way ).|

DD wants to go running with me tomorrow (1.5 miles) and then 5 on Saturday. Eeeps. It's been ages since I did 5 miles. |

!Dr Jen, amazing mileage for the year! I'm so impressed. And motivated to track my yearly running mileage. So far ~ 6 . And you made me GULP when I read that the mini is only 17 weeks away. I'll have to check on the Smart Coach from RW for my training plan. Paces help.I am officially back "on track" with my eating. Three days without bingeing. Yay me! And no wheat for 3 days too! Double Yay me! I guess this bingeing thing is an eating disorder. I've been doing it for so long (at least 20 years). It's a monkey I'd definitely like off my back. Sparkletruck, yes, I've had menisectomies in both knees. The first was injured in a ski accident in 1996 and the pain from loose cartilage in my knee was constant and excruciating. I couldn't bend my knee if it was straight or straighten it if it was bent. I also tore my ACL in the same accident and they repaired it all at once so the recovery on that was much longer (about 4 months of PT 3x a week). Then I tore my right meniscus. The MRI report read that my meniscus was "macerated" so they took out a huge part of cartilage there. That surgery was done in January 2001 and I was back to normal in about a month. Of course, I got pregnant right after that. Menisectomy is a pretty fast recovery. My right knee gives me no pain at this point. The left is occasionally sore when I get out of allignment. I have early signs of osteoarthritis on MRI and the ortho told me to stop running. I say that if it doesn't hurt, it's all good. I figure I'll need a knee replacement eventually, but I may as well run and enjoy it while I can. My ortho doesn't like me...Mommajb I hope you can get your injury sorted out. Any chance you could come to Bloomington 1x a week to swim? I can't remember if you have a Y membership, but if you do, it's reciprocal at our Y and you could swim with me! No running today. We're heading up to Indy to do a little shopping (DS got a Toys R Us gift card for Christmas that he's chomping at the bit to spend). |

with a 3 mile run every once in a while if it fits my schedule better? And if I feel like I didn;t master a week, should I repeat it before moving on? As long as I go somewhat in the order of th elisted workouts, should I be okay? My plan is to complete this 8 week workout in 10-12 weeks. thoughts?
for your friend. 
to you.
: healing...healing...healing...
: And I guess that's an OK thing, considering the alternatives.
: Thank you.
to you and S and also to B. I woke up in the middle of the night last night thinking about her.
You are a brave woman to wear a unitard at the end of pregnancy. 
just did the trick! i'm still not past 5. base building, base building, base building....right? right! i can do this.
and 
So I guess it will be yet another day of sitting around like a lump. I'm SO over this.
:
: Thanks, poppy!
Well, like I said I wore pants over it. I mostly wanted a yoga unitard so that my shirt wouldn't creep up and be uncomfy. It was well worth my $20. And it's black... it's slimming, right?
I have not seen dh this upset in a long time....he keeps thinking of things that our friend said this weekend (very mundane things, seemingly) and it is really hard for him...he is a "saving" kind of person. anyway thanks for your thoughts. How fun to run the p'tree with the Atl mamas! And anybody else who wants to join us! should we all get matching outfits? check my blog for my new favorite skort. I bought two already, and I hardly ever do that. ) finished the job last night. But MAN it was nice to have them all go play!
