Did 2.0 miles today on the high school track at a pretty good pace! That's up from 1.5 miles per day for the last 4-5 days. Hope I'm not feeling it tomorrow but I want to be ready to start p/t after my office visit next Wednesday. And the walking has definitely been helping...

Good for you! Training for next year's Empire State games?

Hey, thanks. Actually, I'm looking for an event for grumpy old men with bladder problems. I think I could medal in that...

Really interesting. And ya know what? I checked the cycling events (because I used to ride a bit) and the women totally kicked a** at almost every age level. I'm impressed...

awhile back, someone I work out with had convinced me that I had the build and the skill to compete as a woman shot-putter.

Two weeks after I decided I would, and began to practice, I separated my shoulder...

ow, ow, ow. it hurts to read this. afterward, did you tell the workout partner where to put it?

[halfmoon-mollie.livejournal.com]

wasn't his fault, it was the fault of the person who used me as a lab rat for his Ph.D. Thesis in exercise science.. I was doing pullovers and I asked him how far to lower the weights, "As far as you can", he said. Turns out I lowered 'em so far my left shoulder separated.

that's just awful. i hope they at least covered your medical expenses. and how is the shoulder?

[halfmoon-mollie.livejournal.com]

nope. My friend carted me off to the emergency room, and because I didn't call my doc first that cost me money. My insurance didn't cover much...
