(Yes, I worked from home Monday. Thank goodness.)

Because every activity—showering, flossing, getting dressed, taking shots—involves an exorbitant amount of time, I have to budget for the PK delay.

Once I made it…]]> Bring It! 2010-01-27T01:43:06+00:00 Gasparilla Faux Pas http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/life/comments/gasparilla-faux-pas/ Today’s faux pas (French for “false step”) happened about a quarter mile from the end of my 10-mile run.

Bayshore was busy with the usual Sunday morning throng of walkers, runners, bikers, skateboarders and more.

Then there was the leftover visual pandemonium of the Children’s…]]> Bring It! 2010-01-24T21:36:09+00:00 Rub A Dub Dub http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/life/comments/rub-a-dub-dub/ Ah, chafing.

You know you’re in the thick of marathon training when you’ve got the battle wounds to prove it.

I ran a refreshing 35-minute tempo run last week and felt good despite the wind.

There was a storm rolling in that evening, and I braved the winds coming off…]]> Bring It! 2010-01-24T21:17:08+00:00 A Hot Mess http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/life/comments/a-hot-mess/ Tonight, That’s What She Said debuted in Tampa Bay Club Sport’s Monday night coed intermediate league. Not by choice.

We signed up for rec, but we mysteriously got bumped up once the schedules were posted.

According to the flag football coordinator: “Your team went…]]> Bring It! 2010-01-12T03:45:11+00:00 Day 14 http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/life/comments/day-14/ It has been almost two weeks since the infamous (self-inflicted) rib injury.

Remember, the doc said it would take one to two weeks to heal before I could do any exercising that involves my chest.

Well, I didn’t think he included breathing, coughing, sneezing, blowing my nose ... but dang…]]> Bring It! 2009-11-23T20:20:04+00:00 Home, Sweet Hazard To My Health http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/life/comments/home-sweet-hazard-to-my-health/ I’m taking Thanksgiving week off to spend time with the fam, including my bro who’s down from Hotlanta.

I love coming home and I dread coming home.

Case in point (here is what I had to eat yesterday):

Breakfast:
Banana
Handful of homemade candied nuts (mmm!)

My ribs are improving every day. I actually wasn’t forced to do the tuck-and-roll to get out of bed this morning.

So the doc said I’m not allowed to do anything for…]]> Bring It! 2009-11-16T03:58:31+00:00 Peas, Please http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/life/comments/peas-please/ The doc sent me to have some X-rays taken this morning to make sure no ribs are cracked or broken from my football games Monday night.

I still haven’t gotten the results, so I assume everything is OK.

In the meantime, I’ve developed an intimate relationship with Aleve…]]> Bring It! 2009-11-13T02:41:55+00:00 Costochondritis http://www.tboblogs.com/index.php/life/comments/costochondritis/ Say what?

Apparently that’s what people like me get after bringing it to win a flag football tourney.

It hurts to:

*Cough
*Sneeze
*Breathe deeply
*Wash my hair
*Put on my seat belt

Team That’s What She Said put the exclamation point on a perfect flag football season!

That’s right. We are the new fall 2009 Monday Coed Rec League Flag Football champions!
