Blog changes

Thanks to everyone who followed Training Because I Can! over the last nine years. This blog started with Addison's Disease, hypothyroidism and a crazy idea of doing an Ironman distance triathlon. My life has changed and so has this blog. I am using this blog strictly for Addison's Support topics from here on out. I hope to continue providing people with hints for living life well with adrenal insufficiency.

Lack luster week

Nothing much exciting to report here.  Running, working, ridiculously far behind in everything...I'm "sponsored".  Found a dollar on Sunday morning by the local bar!







Zane, secure enough in his masculinity to wear a flowered apron.




On my way out for a long run.  See my Drymax socks!  Kept my feet warm and dry as promised.  Very nice!




Oh so Idaho, old railroad car and cows in someone's yard.




Beautiful warm spring




An ice sculpture forming in the distance.




Pretty



My "sponsorship" money

Busy weekend


Colleen "streaking".  Colleen's going to run one mile every day for a year.  Go Colleen go!!



Friday - Hospital Christmas party
Saturday - Run with Colleen and friends watch UFC
Sunday - Run, go out to lunch, recycle








It was really cold while I was running on Sunday.  The temps were between 5 and 15 degrees F.  Although it was very cold, I was still sweating and the sweat was freezing inside my jacket.  Above you're seeing the lining of my jacket.



Sunday on the Pass, there was only one accident that I saw.



The Wyoming state line on Teton Pass.



See the chicken wire covering the crumbling rocks?  The wire keeps rocks from landing in the road.



Yahoo!  I made it from my house to Wilson, Wyoming.  It was  a little more than I had expected to  run but a great accomplishment.  Despite the traffic on the Pass, most drivers were VERY considerate and gave me a wide berth.




Carbo loading and replacing electrolytes at the Stage Coach in Wilson.




I couldn't help taking this picture, so Wyoming.  The truck is filthy from mud, the truck is accented with cammo, the kid inside is dressed in cammo and there's a 4 wheeler in the back of the truck!







Once again, only in Wyoming.  Horseshoes ready to be recycled.

Running partner needed

I'd sure like to find someone who wants to run once and a while and will show up! PLEASE, if you fit the description, call me on my cell. 307-413-7318 or email me contact@addisonssupport.com


Here's the latest, tentative plan. Actually, if there's someone who wants to join me, I can ride, skate, run, walk, hike, you name it. I'll change my plans if someone want so join me. You don't have to do the whole thing, you can do part.


Thursday - Aspen Trail Trail Head 3:20ish pm. Bring your headlamp just in case!

Friday - REST

Saturday - Up and down Pine Creek Pass a couple of times

Sunday - Up Teton Pass until my husband picks me up and we drive over to the Jackson (to the pool). If you join me, you can come to the pool too. The slide will be open!

Monday - Walking or the elliptical at the gym


Yes, I'm desperate for a little bit of company once a week or so. I sure do miss you Allison. Cracking ice and dumping snow on myself is not as fun without you.
