Are you and your wife doing the half?wewantsdaredhead wrote:How is everyone's training coming along?
We are doing pretty good here in NC. It's amazing what a trip to WDW will motivate you to do!
We have been running 5 miles pretty regularly with a goal to increase that to 7 by months end. I hope to be able to run 10-11 in December without feeling like I was hit by a train.
I can't wait to see everyone down there!!!!
Feel better M-dude! Hugs and Pixie Dust! Are you going to see a doc? I don't want you to suffer through something if it's not necessary! Also, I would contact someone where the fall took place and let them know. That's not right.Mousekedude wrote:Good work, WWDRH! You're way ahead of me, that's for sure. I've had some glitches: foot pain for the last week or so, and now today I'm at home in pain... trying to recover from a nasty fall I took in a store parking lot yesterday. Messed up my neck, shoulder, hip, and knee pretty bad. Especially the hip. The whole thing is swollen and bruised pretty bad.
*sigh...*
Thanks, B-babe. I'm not going to mess with a doctor unless it starts getting worse. I've been in enough kerfuffles in my life to know the difference between serious and minor injuries. At this point the doctor would only take x-rays and tell me nothing's broken (I already knew that...), and then tell me to take anti-inflamatories and get some rest (I already know that too...). So why pay for a doctor visit to be told what I already know?boilerbabe wrote:Feel better M-dude! Hugs and Pixie Dust! Are you going to see a doc?

Oh my! I hope you are feeling better soon! If things start feeling worse, you could always check back with the store. I'm sure they will keep the report for awhile. No M-oholic to make everything feel better eitherMousekedude wrote:Thanks, B-babe. I'm not going to mess with a doctor unless it starts getting worse.

Anyway, a security guard saw the whole thing happen. I had come around a corner of a landscape island where sprinkler run-off had been sitting for days growing algae... sliperry as snot... and when I stepped in it my feet flew out from under me as if I had stepped on wet ice. He stopped to see if I was okay, and after making sure I wasn't seriously hurt he went inside to report it. I had to gather up my groceries... plus I was now soaking wet and covered with slime on one side... so I didn't want to bother going all the way back inside.
In hindsight, I probably should have so I could get a copy of his written report... just in case... but I was a little stunned and not thinking clearly. Oh well, fortunately I don't think the injuries are serious... except my wounded pride....
Feel better!!! Yes--and my Sis-in-law. Actually...I blame her for my whole WDW addiction. She got my my wife to run in the WDW half in `07 and we stayed at POR as part of Team in Training. Been in love ever since...Amy wrote:Are you and your wife doing the half?
Thanks! I hope to see you down there!NaCler wrote:Good job WWDRH, keep it up!
Even just for a short visit...Great job yourself! Keep running---run through that pain...boilerbabe wrote:Nice job WWDRH! I've been doing 5 regularly too. The humid weather has been difficult this summer along with a chronic injury I have. But, I'm working through it! I hope to run the 1/2 pain free in Jan.! We're leaving for a dive trip next week, so I will have to get real serious about my running upon our return! Keep running everyone!!!!
What in the world, M-Dude?!!! Well I hope you get better enough to train, but if not, we can still all hang out in january!Mousekedude wrote:Good work, WWDRH! You're way ahead of me, that's for sure.

RSDW's anyone??!!!
but that included the 20 million pictures we stopped to take...along with everyone else ) I am at a loss for words....If I were in Mouseoholic's place about now, I'd be going crazy because I couldn't be there to help you! I hope you are ok and not seriously injured!!!! I know that right now it may not seem like it, but if you get any worse, your butt (ok, your whole body, not just your butt ) better get to the doctor. We can't have you with any issues that might sideline you for January!!!! ) this weekend in Fairfield (about 2.5 hours North of Houston), and they're stopping here for the night and tomorrow, so if I "crater" really bad, at least I'll have family here tonight to look after me. Mouseoholic is disappointed to be missing her family's reunion, but it couldn't be helped. We talk at least once or twice a day (her company gave her a VOIP connection, so it's a "local" call), so she is showing me plenty of sympathy.... over the phone... Well put Dr. Leota!MmeLeota wrote:Mousekedude!!!!!
That's good to know there will be some family checking in on you. What, might I ask, is crater-ing though?! Been in emergency services for almost 17 years now and never heard that one beforeMousekedude wrote:Thanks, all. The good news is that her parents are already on their way here from Corpus Christi (about 3 hours South of here). There's a family reunion (Mouseoholic's family... and she's not even here...
Anyway, this is just a speed-bump. I'll be back in training before you know it. I'm as stubborn as Boilerbabe when it comes to that stuff.
How did you know it was my butt (well okay, my hip... but also my butt by extension..) that took the brunt of the impact...??!!!MmeLeota wrote:...if you get any worse, your butt (ok, your whole body, not just your butt
Don't tell me that's another "Texas-ism" you haven't heard...??!!! To "crater": to crash land into the ground so hard that you leave a crater... figuratively speaking... or literally in my case...Amy wrote:...What, might I ask, is crater-ing though?!

A-yup. Never heard that one. I like it though ~ But don't do it again!Mousekedude wrote:Don't tell me that's another "Texas-ism" you haven't heard...??!!!

Thank you Dr. Amy...Amy wrote:Well put Dr. Leota!MmeLeota wrote:Mousekedude!!!!!
(the coincidence, not that you fell on your "extended butt")
