S E T B A C K S - Story of my life

I think "OLD" is consuming me!

Try, try again...so the saying goes. Lord knows I keep trying but failing.
May 16th...Kelso run, rolled over a root, fell to the ground. PAIN in the ankle. Tried to run back to the finish. Man that hurt...and hurt... and hurt! Today, I gave in and got an X Ray...as it just keeps hurting in the bone on the inside of my right ankle. YES sir...broke off a small piece of bone... doc says not much we can do now. Waited too long. Just have to heal.

So ladies, that means I'm out of the running for the competition...like that pun...running cuz I can't do that!!! But I am not giving up on the training - just in case. July is a long way off - ok - a month. We all know running is definitely my weakness. It's been that way for some time because I have had several broken ankles, torn ligaments and cartilage plus 2 knee surgeries. Everytime I recover from one, another one happens. Put that with my newly found Asthma I developed last year and I guess I am sidelined again!!!!

R A T S ...putting it politely. Amy, do you have some better words for it? Hee Hee.

I have continued to mountain bike on Wednesday's. When it is too challenging and I have people passing me, I stop and let them by. Been taking it easy. I think I will continue to ride. Doc says NO MAJOR BUMPS!!! I do swim in my pool, do homework core stuff and ride some more :)

That should keep me going, but I don't think Neil and Shane will want a lame horse for the July race...So it's up to you girls to show them who has the talent, guts, drive and GOOD TEAM SPIRIT!!! Being fit isn't everything if you want to be a ROCKSTAR GIRL. There's the fun side with the great sense of humour and the MAP side, using your new SUUNTO compass. So keep up the good work!!! I can't wait to see who wins :)
