Glad the ski trip was fun ... Sorry about the flu.

What a terrible loss.

:( xo

I don't know what to say. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as is your friend's family. I'm so sorry.

Very nice....10 x 1000 sounds better, but way to go!

That is really awesome.

Think of it this way, a mere 3800m is gonna seem like a cake walk!

So sorry to hear about your friend. My condolences.

Thanks for the chuckle with the MS comment … ummm … I hope you were joking anyway Take care.

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I know you know it is unhealthy to try and avoid the grieving process, but I cannot blame you for trying to block the negative images … focus on the happy times.

So my ski trip was fun and I was fortunate not to have any crippling injury ... but I got the flu. Figures. I knew my immune system was challenged both from the 10,000 yr swim and from the grief of losing a friend ... perfect opportunity for Mr. Influenza to set up shop. But, I was quite the trooper and muscled through it. Honestly one of the most difficult things I've ever done! THAT is what I imagine the IM feeling like. Death warmed over and you just PUSH and PUSH and PUSH. Sat. we came home and I went to bed at 4pm and slept through to 4 am. I was DONE. Traveling back yesterday SUCKED and I'm so glad to be home. I didn't get a sub job today but I can't say I'm sad, as I know I can use another day to recover. Plus, I have grading to do, a house to clean, a workout to do and groceries to get. Oh yeah, unpack too ... after I wake up because this typing has made me exhausted and I'm crawling back to bed now ... I'll check in in a day or two.
