The Plan in Bullets

hMy doc and I have agreed that I will see an ortho guy who does a lot of hips (here to for referred to as He Who Does Hips, only because I couldn't think of a cool symbol). :D @ this maybe?
+I don't see him until the 30th.
xIn the meantime, I am not running
(I'm sure you don't want to read my daily pain scale reports so I probably will not post very much.
IWe did join a gym with a pool right up the street so I am over the moon about that.
'I did 1250 tonight, kinda PO'd it wasn't 1600 but what do I know? I really haven't swam much in years.
JIt could easily have been 1600, I'm horrible at counting and didn't time it.
sI think it was around 35 minutes of swimming??
"My racing suit is still from another decade. eek
NNo amount of lipstick can really overcome my thighs in a decade old suit ;D

YOne minute they are crying and fighting, the next they are reading books and telling me about the Eiffel Tower.

Sorry you have to wait so long for the appointment. Here's hoping all that swimming you'll get to do helps sort things out.

Your boys are adorable. Just too cute! :)

Marcy said...

Awwwhh Nanc I'm sorry that you have to wait so long. But swimming is AWESOME! And you're like a fish in the pool, so that's coolio. At least your keeping the triathlete in you busy ;-)

They are SOOOO stinkin cute! Sibling love (eeerrr hate) it's cute and frightening LOL

RunningNan said...

I first thought you said you would be mooning the pool! I need to learn to read! At least you are getting some exercise in!

Unknown said...

I hope the time passes quickly until you can get in to see the doc. The swimming should help though.
Your boys are adorable!

Topher said...

Aw, man, hope you can catch a break soon. That stinks that you can't run, but with winter coming on, a pool workout/membership might not be too bad. Think of us outside running in the cold while you glide through heated water, weightless. Lucky.

Jess said...

Sorry that the appointment is so far away. The boys look super cute!

Wes said...

Get.hips.fixed :-) Think of all the swimming and cycling you can do!! I certainly hope those two fine young men are much nicer to each other in their teen years than I and my brother were :-)

Good news about the orthopod (that's what call them here at work.) Maybe he can give you some help.

I think last time I went swimming I did 400m. 1250 is really pretty good.
(Cute kidlets.)

Sonia said...

Eh you're speedy in the pool!!

I love swimming too =) You'll see its great cross training. Hang in there. Pain is not cool.

Jamie said...

Hopefully the 30th will be here before you know it and in the meantime just keep swimming ;)

Your boys are so freakin' cute!

I've been able to count laps when I'm swimming by using my Ironman watch and pressing the lap button at the end of each full lap. It works great as a lap counter and gives you the splits as well.

chia said...

Look at the bright side, you're going to rock your next tri with all the time you can put into the first two disciplines!

Tina Mickelson said...

All righty then. No running... you can swing that. Take advantage of that pool girl. I wish I could... yea but I don't really swim. can you ride? or does that hurt too? Maybe do some yoga or pilates to work on core since you're down.

Darn it your kids are nearly as cute as mine. LOL

J~Mom said...

That is an awesome swim workout!! Very cute kiddos!!

Nitmos said...

All you can do is do what you can do. So do that.

Make sense?

Michelle said...

Hi Nancy, I'm sorry bout your not being able to run (for now) but swimming rocks!! You will have kick ass legs and look amazing!!!

Your sons are too cute for words, so no words!!!

stay positive, it will turn around and you have so much going for you that this will just look like a blip on your radar before long

The Laminator said...

Sorry you're hurting. Nope the Ortho guy can fix you up. Feel better.

audgepodge said...

Your kids are cute! I wish I could swim (without coughing up tons of water at the end of every lap) Take care of yourself!

Anonymous said...

So I guess that makes you Non-Runner Nancy until the 30th? Good luck. The pain thing can really suck the joy out of life, and you need plenty of energy to keep up with those two I bet!

Pat said...

I think you should change your blog title to "It's worse after sex".

Unknown said...

It's so frustrating how long it takes to get into orthopedics! I went through that with my knee. :-(

Swimming is good!

Lily on the Road said...

Hey girlie, it's been awhile...didn't want to impose..Swimming may be the cure all... it includes family, less hip stress, no contacts for your eyes...sounds good!

Love, love, love the pic's of the dudes....too cute...you are doing great...don't stay away so long next time.

*hugs*

Vava said...

You have two beautiful boys! And I can totally relate to the one minute one way, the other perfect thing.

Wendy said...

you'll be running again before you know it. hang in there.
i'll miss your posts.

akshaye said...

Take care..and I hope seeing the new doc helps.

Amy said...

Good luck with the new doctor! Love the picture, you have two dear little boys (and having three myself I know they are not always so "dear" in real life)!

Bill Carter said...

Hi Nancy

Hugs from Michigan. At least when you get in the pool the lifeguards don't take off their towels, fliplops, etc. because you are such a bad swimmer. I absolutely refuse to swim at Lifetime because they laugh at me. Yes, I am that bad and I don't mind saying it. So, you go Dolphin Girl! Grat pic BTW.

Laura N said...

HUGS. the 30th will be here before you know it. Good job on the swimming !

Your boys are too cute.

P.O.M. said...

You can try waterproof lipstick. That might work.

Sunshine said...

We had 2 boys.. when they needed stitches, it was always after doctor's office hours. Sigh.
But they are all grown up now and it was all worth it.

We loved our trip to IOWA!! ... last weekend... the Des Moines Farmers' Market ... and the Des Moines Marathon.

Brianna said...

A month later I hope things are jiving - looks like swimming is a ray of sunshine for you (as are those cute little pumpkins of yours).
