It'll be fun to read SR's rebuttal of all you say, but course records are a rare treat (I think I've had 3 or 4, in much smaller and shorter races). My fave new running song is "Go Right Ahead" by the Hives - a little too hard-edged for you, I think.SteveQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16943650844671498074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-4441147665941509882012-04-30T13:44:01.142+02:002012-04-30T13:44:01.142+02:00Alicia and Maria.

If you had seen the large bruise over the muscle and could feel the big knot there now, you would not be in doubt. Work on my pelvis, which I get done once a week, helps undo the damage I do by exercising off balance due to that injured muscle. Thank you for always offering real, caring advice though - as opposed to the "you are wrong, once again, SLG!" of some readers :)sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-2865893235344989242012-04-30T09:32:53.335+02:002012-04-30T09:32:53.335+02:00ITB is a really annoying injury, I was shleppping ...ITB is a really annoying injury, I was shleppping around with this for months!

A tragi-comedy.<br /><br />You would think their breakup would make merch more valuable, but I bought my Sonic Youth tshirt on clearance sale.<br /><br />Like your weepy husband, I also cried during the last few miles of the race. I lost my iPod in New Orleans (possible new-country song title??) so was trying to sing Neil Young to myself. Not sure if it was "Heart of Gold"'s lyrics, my burning quads or my terrible singing voice, but SOMETHING brought tears to my eyes.<br /><br />Glad to meet you and Raisin.Marianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-78180349592194292562012-04-30T06:23:56.316+02:002012-04-30T06:23:56.316+02:00Wow SLG, what an amazing race by SR, very impressi...Wow SLG, what an amazing race by SR, very impressive. Sorry you were injured still - but I guess it's a plus you got to be with SR at the finish of his race :) As far as IVF goes - fertility drugs are first given to stimulate the ovaries to produce many follicles therefore many eggs (for some reason this is the part I'm most leery of). Eggs are then removed and incubated. Then there are medications like antibiotics to prevent infection and HcG or progesterone to help the uterus lining. Sperm is then gathered, washed...and eventually placed with the eggs to hopefully fertilise in the incubator. fertilised embryos are then transferred (1 or 2)...with more progesterone then given in the 2ww. My reluctance with this is way at the start, overriding the body's normal hormones, I know it may sound weird but the unnaturalness of it, forcing the body to do what it won't do on it's own, really gets to me? When it comes to bearing children I've always seen it as a natural "go or no-go"...IVF is like a weird, synthetic middle ground which doesn't jive with me...anyway, just thought I'd respond to your comment here, totally irrelevant to your race!!! REST up your leg, cross-train at will, and you'll be back running lightning fast again sooner than later :)cherellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13643258879501877022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-834846832861622672.post-48776952962289517712012-04-30T06:20:19.539+02:002012-04-30T06:20:19.539+02:00I'm really sorry about your ITB problems, and ...I'm really sorry about your ITB problems, and sorry that I didn't get to see the answer to the exciting question of whether you or Christine was going to win if you were both feeling up-to-speed. I had a ton of fun hanging out with you guys though and I hope we get to do it again soon. Your ITB is going to bounce back with enough massage, and the rest that your body got while waiting for your ITB to heal is going to make you even faster. <br /><br />Also, for the record, I only beat three of the people on my list; the rest didn't show up.
