I was just stiff this morning; feeling a lot better now.

Keep in there buddy - swimming sounds like fun. I was a swim instructor for a couple summers in college and to this day I don't like swimming. They had me do lessons to kids in the Olympic pool which was kept a frigid 76 degrees year round. Ouch!
you on the alt? if so let me know when/how I can get you.

Yeah, the YMCA keeps its pool pretty cold. And in the winter, I'm not sure what's more appealing, driving to go swimming or running in the cold and wind. Just can't get much enthusiasm for a treadmill.
I'm a runner and stopped by your thread because your name cracks me up.
Take Aleve if you can every 12 hours when you up your miles or if it's only the race day that bothers you .... start 2-3 days before and 2-3 days after.
Ice after runs for 15 minutes helps and stretching can not be done enough.... before and especially after. Nothing major but a few times throughout the day.
I see your a Seahawks watcher.... do you live in WA?

Yeah, my preconceptions of MC being painless were pretty stupid. Stuff that we talked about in week 1 is still an issue, and sometimes we take three steps back for every step forward. And things that I worry about aren't big issues at all. So definitely a learning experience, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to understand myself and my W better.
Pin,
truer words were ne...well, you know.
Dbing, while simultaneously mcing is a strange ride my friend. It's a juggling act, but if you can maintain detachment, it can illuminating. I haven't learned exactly what has lead us to this junction, but I have learned that mw W is far more conflicted and confused than her cool demeanor shows.
I've needed to post on my own thread and develop this thought more, but I've been trying to figure some things out. I've been following along with you Pin. You are doing well buddy.
Cheers.

Definitely an interesting ride. We have great days and bad days. If we don't talk about the R, and just live, we seem okay. Save the R talk for MC. Hmm, not really bad days, just days that are tiring.
I think my wife envies my (relative) calm. She's very "complicated" as she puts it. And what she seems to need from me the most right now is just someone to listen to her, really listen. She's warming up with affection slowly too, and she's become really thoughtful towards me as well. Can't complain too much.
This is going to be a long journey. My M didn't get screwed up overnight, and won't be fixed overnight either. And I'm sure there'll be huge setbacks. But I'm not analyzing every move any more, just enjoying my picnic.
Now I need another goal to knock out. My novel is moving at a glacial pace since I'm sleeping better and spending my awake time with daughters and wife. My appetite has definitely returned, but my exercise is paying off. Down to 185lbs, and working on improving my speed in running a 5K. Never realized how competitive I am. Don't want to be in the bottom half of the crowd!
Take care A_G, I'll drop in on your thread later on. Have to get the girls to school.
