Is it Monday already?
15th April 2007
Well, not quite… but it will be by the time most of you read this. It’s been a relatively quiet weekend.
The week ended with more sickness…a fussy Josiah – whom the doctor didn’t find anything wrong with, though he has lost a full pound since his 9 month check-up, maybe due to the lingering stomach bug – and a congested Brian, who is on all kinds of meds for the same sinus infection that plagued Analise and I. Josiah’s been really grumpy and not sleeping well, which is painful since we’re just adjusting to good sleep again. But Brian and I escaped Friday night for a great leadership conference at our church. Brian went back on Saturday morning, while I had a leisurely day not doing all sorts of things, instead doing relaxing things like working on Analise’s smocked dress (only about 25% complete) and watching Mad About You episodes.
After a terrible night’s sleep due to a fussy baby, Brian left at 5:30am for a bike race in Chattanooga with his dad. Not sure if he’ll post or not, but it was not one of his best days. It was in the 30’s, with sleet and some snow flurries, and he felt bad from his sinus infection. Hopefully, he can sleep it off tonight, get over being sick, and be ready for some fast riding this coming weekend at a big series of races in Mississippi.
I had a pretty good day with my kiddos at church, taking care of kids in the nursery during the early service. Analise and I went to Kid’s Clubhouse, our children’s worship time, and she danced and sang like crazy with the big kids. Josiah, though, had woken at 5am, and he couldn’t be convinced to nap in the nursery, so we had to sneak out before I could go to the 2nd service.
We just enjoyed 2 amazing episodes of Planet Earth on the Discovery Channel. If you can watch some if it, we highly recommend it! We’ve learned so much!

Brian-
Wondering about your foot…Did moving the pedal move at all? I’ll start the ankle/foot in ortho on Wednesday. 🙂
Also, the health care professional in me needs to give you this warning:
NO PART OF YOUR BODY WILL HEAL (sinuses or foot) if you are continually stressing all of it. Taking one week off to recuperate will be better than missing half of the season. REST.

Actually, I do have some good news to report on the foot front … the pain in the outer part of my foot has gone down. I think this may be do to a practically complete day off on Saturday — my first day off in a while. I’m going to try to get some good rest this week and cut my mileage back as well. It is going to be a crazy next few weeks though with races on the following dates: 4/19, 4/20, 4/21, 4/28, 4/29, 5/5, 5/6 and now possibly 5/12 and 5/13 then a four day stage race 5/25, 5/26, 5/27, and 5/28 followed by (cross your fingers) a five day stage race in Minnesota 6/20-6/24. If my foot is giving me problems again after racing 5/5 and 5/6 I may skip the 5/12 and 5/13 races and take several days completely off. That shouldn’t throw me off for the 5/25-5/28 stage race.

Yes, people, he is a crazy cyclist. I love him, though. And I’ll chase him all over… Hopefully I can keep talking some sense into him to get him healthy. Thanks for the warning, Anna!
