It's been quite some time since I've been this tired. I cannot believe I had something to do for crew everyday last week, 7 days. Normally it's only 5 days a week, and when regattas start it's more like 6, but very seldom 7 days straight. And usually not until the end of the season. Practice everyday, plus the swim test on Thursday, extra morning ( Read more... )

God, I'm falling apart and I'm not even 22 yet. I managed to twist my good ankle this morning at practice. Yeah, I know, classic. Just call me Grace (or Gimpy). We were walking our boat back up to the boathouse, and I stepped right into a hole, twisted my ankle, then hit the rigger on my side on the light pole. On top of just being really sore from ( Read more... )

YES! I finally did it! I dropped my 2k time below 10 minutes! Woo hoo!! :-D Total time of 9:53 with a split of 2:28. I dropped it nine seconds from the last time I pulled it (almost three weeks ago) and I was sick this weekend. That's what I call improvement. Now if I could drop it say another 30 to 40 seconds, I could compete with the rest of the ( Read more... )

Thank the Lord, I am feeling so much better! I'm even starting to eat solid food again. Not a lot of it, but it's a start ( Read more... )

I am sick. Very very very sick. I haven't been this sick in a very long time (unless you count the hangover from the summer, but from non-alcohol causes, not for a very long time). I think I either managed to pick up the stomach flu which seems to be going around, or food poisoning from the Taco Bell I ate last night. I'm leaning toward food ( Read more... )

I have drugs. Very cool. I ended up having to go back to the podiatrist last night to pick up my prescription for "super" Motrin (800 mg capsules, one equals four regular motrin). I hung around talking to the nurses, Dr. Patel, and Kathy Lee until they closed at 5:30. Kat and I hung around after everyone else had left and just talked. Have I said ( Read more... )

Just got home from the podiatrist. That was fun, and sucked almost two hours out of my morning (including driving). Well I guess it was better than Friday which drained about four hours of my day. I got to talk to Kathy Lee for a while whilst I waited, and she fed me breakfast (angelic girl). Definitely nice to have food in my stomach instead of ( Read more... )

Hi kids. Well, it's that time of year again: yep, you guessed it, Single Awareness Day. Haha... And what a b-e-a-utiful day to be celebrating it! Yeah right. Honestly, I believe Valentine's Day is severely overrated. I mean, what makes today different from all other days? Shouldn't you treasure and love your sweetheart every day of the year and not ( Read more... )

Yesterday was amazingly busy! I don't think I've run around that much in one day in months! My day started with crew practice, which ended up being an inauguration breakfast and meeting instead of practice. Heck yeah! Nice and relaxing. I wish we could do that more often. After "practice" I came home, took a shower, then was off to the doctor to ( Read more... )
