Have an awesome weekend everyone!

Below is a few xmas pics: one of me in front of our xmas tree with one of my pups and the other two are my pups in their xmas outfits that I made them pose for their xmas photos (yes I decorated a tree in the park and made them stay still for photos! LOL)

So good to see you and your pups again!  I love the pics.  You look wonderful!

Hi Nikki!  Thanks!  

By the way, I read your blog as much as I can.  I am currently "training," I say training but really its nothing like what you got goin on!  But I am training for a 10km, I have not picked the actual race I will do, it will be somewhere in town as its just too expensive for us Canadians to travel to the US right now with our crap dollar.  But my point is I love your blog, I am learning a lot from you as you go through this journey of Triathlons post surgery.   My question for you is, what do you do for pain? Last night after my 5km on the treadmill my left knee was screaming at me!  I went home took the dogs out for a hike (probably not the smartest thing) and when I got home from that walk with the dogs the knee pain was pretty bad. I got out my heating pad and all I could think about was OMG I need Advil!  So wondering if you have any "tips & tricks" for this old girl?

Have a great weekend! 

Daze

Pain is so much fun! (Holy sarcasm batman)  Honestly I have found that muscle relaxers (rx) work the best for the aches and pains I used advil/aleve for previously.  I also love a good ice bath (brrrr) but it really does help.  Last but not least, if it is horrible (I had back spasms last summer) I went and got an anti-inflamatory shot right into the muscle.  The doctors assured me it would not cause any ulcers and it worked amazingly well.

I am sore a lot.  But I always find its the good kind of sore (meaning its worst when I get up from sitting or first thing in the morning) and it goes away quickly with movement.  

GOOD LUCK ON YOUR RACE!!  I so want to do Ironman Mont Tremblant or Ironman Mukoka some day!  Maybe soon if I have more buying power!! ;)

Also, thank you for reading my blog.  At least I know someone reads it ;)

I will PM you, we need to chat offline about all this stuff 

OMG, I am crying at the pictures of your dogs!  Hilarious!

I know right, funny or what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Glad to see you and the pups! Give them a hug from me!

OMG! You are a crazy person, which I say in the most loving way possible ;-)
