Michael Phelps Eats A Lot!
Much like the rest of the nation, the Olympics Obession continues with me. I just can't get enough. Although I will admit that I was extremely close to falling asleep at work today from staying up way too late last night watching swimming and then getting up way to early for masters practice this morning! Oh well. The Olympics only come around once every 4 years right?!
Of course the big talk today at work was how much Michael Phelps eats. Let me just say that I totally believe he eats that much if not more. I know that swimming makes me famished and I certainly don't swim 5-6 hours/day!
Anyway, I had a tough day at work today, partly because I was so sleepy but also because one of my best friends from work finished her last day today. She is starting a new job next week. Major bummer! I really do like my job but I think a big part of that is because I really like the people I work with and when they leave I get sad! But such is life and I'm very happy for her to be moving on to bigger and better things.
Regardless, I got a good pick-me-up after work because O and I met my BFF, her husband, mom and 2 daughters for dinner! They were in town (they live about 2.5 hours away) for a Wiggles concert so we were able to meet up! I was looking forward to it all day and it did not disappoint.
Krista and I were roommates and teammates in college, in each other's weddings, ran several marathons together, and, other than O and my parents, knows me better than anyone else alive! She truly amazes me with what she does - mom of 2 young ones (age 2.5 yrs and 5 months), amazing wife, cross country and track coach, awesome friend, and the list goes on and on. Anyway - dinner was great and when it was all said and done O and I decided that waiting to have kids might be smart. :) Seriously though, Krista and Tim's girls are SOO well behaved but wow - it's hard to keep track of all that and eat dinner at the same time! :) I had such a great time and it was such a nice treat after being sad all day at work!
So now I must get to bed...or maybe stay up just a liiiiiittle bit longer to watch some more Olympics action... :)

Not a chance did we go to the concert. They were joking (sort of) that it was like paying for Bruce Springteen tickets!

Hi!
Came across your blog while searching for info on how soon can return to triathlons after a cortisone shot in the hip....saw some archives of your posts. Any info on your experience with cortisone shots and racing would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Mary Wienholts
