broken needle

Nice. First time I've messed up a syringe. I forgot to uncap it from the autoinjector, pressed it up against my stomach - all psyched up and 'Blonk...' Nothing. Part of me seriously thought, 'Oh cool, I couldn't feel a thing.' Then I realized I had screwed it up.

Great, now I can look forward to another try in 30 min (for the liquid to warm up some)!

Well, I will take a short time to note how I'm doing on the Baclofen. So far, no changes to spasticity, though it hasn't been as bad as last week. I also haven't been physically exerting myself at all. Tomorrow I have PT and it will be the first time I've gone on the day after an injection, when I'm usually feeling tighter.

Oh, and the Baclofen has definitely made me grumpy.

Winter 2015 Training Plan

-
I took quite a bit of time to put together my winter training schedule. I've developed a new role with my friends and training partners - that of trainer! What I have done is developed a plan to slowly boost cardio fitness while focusing on upper body strength. Still my weakness even after some big gains last year. We're doing stronglifts and Hal Higdon half-marathon training for the next 12 weeks. Week Start Date Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday (monday) Rest day Gym Day Run Day (mi) Gym Day Run Day Gym Day Long Day mileage totals %+ Notes 1 12/1/2014 REST Strength A 3 Strength B 3 Strength A 4 10 NA 2 12/8/2014 REST Strength B 3 Strength A 3 Strength B 4 10 0% 3 12/15/2014 REST Strength A 3 Strength B 3 Strength A 5 11 10% 4 12/22/2014 REST Strength B 3.5 Strength A 3.5 Strength B 5 12 9% 5 12/29/2014 REST Strength A 3.5 Strength B 3.5 Strength A 6 13 8% 6 1/5/2015 REST Strength B 3.5 Strength A 4 Strength B 5.2 12.7 -2% 1 mile warmup, 5k

Quarterly update :)

Two months later, a few changes, new challengers, new accomplishments. After the Beast I have been less focused on running and more on building strength. I certainly have a weakness to address. Not just upper body, but legs as well. I think I have strong legs, but with spasticity, I feel like I have to work them harder nonetheless. Weight carrying uses different muscles than running or soccer... Also completed two additional obstacle races and a ruck march. I inspired a few people at work and we put in a ten person team to the Rugged Maniac and it was a blast. So happy I could bring people into my world! Here is a link to the video: It was fun to enjoy the race, my teammates smiles, and not have to push it too hard, glad I have coworkers that are up to the challenge. My best buddy at work also joined me in another race a few weeks later, we did this to push it harder and see what we were made of. It also went well, better even because my wife and son were there and we got a l

Chilling at the Cape House

For the first time really. I'm upstairs, figuring out some blog things, learning how to publish pictures from my cameraphone directly to my vacation blog. http://forestonet.blogspot.com I feel OK as far as my symptoms, I'm logging those on a Google calendar which is private, I will keep it updated with my symptoms, severity etc for myself and my Dr. I'm still feeling kinda funky due to the steroids, but sticking to the prescribed meds to make this all as easy as possible. Being able to enjoy going up and down the stairs and actually doing things has been such a positive experience that I'm having a hard time not thinking about things getting worse again. Heck, one of the worst things this morning was that my toes started to hurt! I usually can't feel them! Going to enjoy lunch and then sit and finish Friday by Robert A. Heinlein.
