How can I make this post one big smily face...the title, the body, the ending?!
Curently have been missing from blogland for a reason, I have training to balance into all other "things" now, and that is said with huge joy!
Trying not to jump to far ahead of things, as there is a minor trend of big smile, big tear, big smile, big tear in previous posts. This time around is truely different.
My eyes sparkle to see the suits are stacking up in the tub, the laundry is piling up, the new bike is being fit, and the run shoes are "fresh" (refused to buy new shoes until I was ready to stack mileage on them).
How is this different than previous "attempts"?
Before I was fighting the urge to want to train and do more. NOW it "feels" right and it "is" right. I have no hesitation. It is about being smart in the coming weeks and I am confident I can do that!
Did I mention how ecstatic this makes me feel?!
The update is that leading into each Remicade treatment we have been doing "everything" to not end up in the hospital. Four weeks ago we added in another medicine (Immuran) that I was taking during my last flare up (this was a few months before St Croix in 2009). It takes about 3 weeks to work. The week leading up to Remicade,which was week #3, I felt fantastic, was working out, and now post-Remicade things continue to look up...no set-backs...no ER visits, no migraines, just a
big shine of light at the end of the tunnel.
Moving forward, these next few weeks we build my training SLOWLY until we are further into the "clear" and then proceed with racing plans.
Gettin' chills already!
