post half soreness

My quads are still not happy with me.  I would say about 99% of my training was on a pretty flat trail.  Not so much for the half course, it was a very hilly course...which makes my PR that much more exciting to me!!  I am going to see the chiropractor at 11:30 and let him do his magic with the acupuncture needles.  Plus, my ankles are kind of locked up (whatever that means, but that is how he describes it when they feel like this) and I need to get them adjusted.  Dennis, being the sweetest person on the face of the plant; sometimes ;) rubbed my feet for 30 minutes after I got out of a hot tub last night.  He thinks that my ankles/feet will be my biggest hurdle to overcome in the back to back half marathon if I get to go.

I broke down and weighed this morning.  I was given 112 but again, I am not sure I trust my scale.  My doctor scale is almost a half pound lighter last time I was in.  After eating a lot more and with the swollen muscles from 13.1 miles it just doesn't seem right.

I really should have walked and/or taken a short slow jog last night but I really needed to go see my friend in the hospital.  This is the lady that had her lung just spontaneously collapse.  She is still in the hospital a week later, now with 2 chest tubes.  The did surgery Sunday afternoon to repair a hole and remove two spots on her lung.  They also glued her lung to the inside of the chest cavity to try and keep in inflated.  I have been friend with Paula for years and I have never seen her so tired.  This is a lady that owns her own business and works 7 days a week.  She is just not used to being sick.  She hopes to be home on Thanksgiving. 

OH, and in very exciting news, HMF has a boyfriend!!!  I have my fingers crossed that she doesn't screw it up and will go from being a high maintenance friend to just a really good friend.  Of course they are still in the new stages where she can't make time for her freinds.  I am happy for her and really hope it works out.

OK, I have to do real work now.  Only full day I work this week.  I am taking off early for my mom's last chemo appointment tomorrow and taking off Friday!!  Next week I am starting the process of getting the implant put in for my missing tooth Monday morning so I am only working a half day.  I'm not sure I will feel like working on Tuesday, I have never had any kind of dental work done before.  I am more than a little nervous.
