First of all, I should say – I’m healing. After biofeedback, chiropractic, massage, acupuncture (oh, and Vicodin from the allopathic docs), I am feeling better but not great. I haven’t done anything at all, except eat like a rock star for the past week. I think that’s what I must do when I get depressed or anxious. Bad. CheeseIts are NOT taper food. I did swim in Aquatic Park, and though my shoulder hurt, it was OK. Biked a bit before putting it on the transport, and that hurt my side – that worries me. Walked with my friend Francine a mile or so, and that went OK. Going to try a wee run tomorrow.
NOW, for the entertainment (smile). This is to the Beverly Hillbillies theme song:
Let me tell y’all a story about my good friend Sandy
She was gettin’ kinda bored & feelin’ just dandy,
Just the other day she said, ‘Damn I KNOW I can!’
So she packed her bags for Luhvull, to do the Ironman
Triathlon that is…
140.6 miles…
Swim, bike, run…
She started off the swim by jumpin’ in the river
The water was warm so she didn’t even shiver
And when she got out later she was in a good position
So she sprinted up the slope towards her very first transition
Swim to bike…
wet stuff off…
Chamois Butt’r…
Once she’d changed her stuff, she hopped onto her bike
(Luckily she found it since they all look just alike)
Headin’ down the road you could almost hear her sing
Mashin’ on them pedals grindin’ in that big chainring
Tall girl, red Camelbak…
rollin’ by the horsies…
singin’…
Then she got off that bike to head out on the run
Took off like a rabbit that was shot at from a gun
When she got to Mile 20 she didn’t hit the Wall
She finished that damn thing smilin’, I have to tell y’all
Ironwoman…
140.6 miles…
yahoo, and all that …)
