sunny day...
sweepin the... clouds away...
on my way to where the air is sweeeeeeeeeeeet!
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesamie Street???
swimming was hard to do this morning, I felt heavy and slow... which is pretty funny since I cut a full minute off of my 400m time (8:45 for anyone whose keeping track)... I'm residually sore from Monday, but not badly so... its just swimming+upper body weights+no carbs in diet=residual soreness... no biggie. I did about 1100m total, and I wore a cheep-o neoprene brace on my ankle and my foot didn't hurt at all!
I think it's really ironic that the one totally non-impact activity I do on a regular basis is the one that was causing a repetative use injury. It seems that kicking is what pissed of my foot in the week of 9 workouts, and on monday when I got back in the pool after a 2 week hiatus, I started to feel the same pain returning (despite the fact that it's been completely fine for at least a week) so I grabbed a cheap-o brace (like I said) at the store last night and gave it a whirl today... voila= no pain!
Today is LEG DAY in Boot Camp... and then I take off for my very first ever root-canal surgery thing. I am NOT looking forward to it.
On both counts... wish me luck!

Oooh, good luck! I know you'll take names in boot camp, so I'll send an extra dose of luck and ease for the dental work! Yowzers. Although my husband had one and said it was not a big deal. But he's really good about getting out of painful situations. ;)

As for the root canal....take the pain meds before the pain starts, and in usually about 24 hours and you are good...I slept for the first 8 hours after my root canal and woke up sore...rinsing w/ warm salt water helps too (one of those weird home remedies that seems to work for a sore mouth/throat).
