Ever had a fever blister? If not I feel very happy for you and hope you have a life free of them! They are awful, especially when your whole bottom lip and part of the top lip are covered with them. Man oh man do my lips hurt. I don't even think the beautiful weekend at the beach was worth it, and that is saying a lot for me because I love the beach.
I am seeing more and more the merits of a really big hat and a very big umbrella. Going to have to happen before my lips fall off. I have gone through five tubes of Carmex and only have a little bit of one left. I just hope I get to keep my lips for all of my life.

RESTING
Two days later and I am still tired. Of course last night I could not sleep because of big blisters all over my lips. You would expect blisters on my feet after running a marathon, certainly not blisters on my lips. It is a, or I should say my only, flaw. My lips break out at any provocation. It is really a drag and the main reason I quit cycling. With running I can wear a hat and only break out from really long runs, but with cycling no hat and constant fever blisters.
Other than that I am a little sore and tired in the quads, but otherwise none the worse for the wear. Rebekah said she is pretty recovered now also. I also have some chub rub I am still dealing with. For some reason I got a bad rash under one arm pit, only hurts when I sweat though, which is just every time I walk out of the house.
I have actually been asking myself, when do I say when? What age will I be done running marathons and crazy stuff like this? Will there ever come a day when I just hang up the tennies, bike shoes, or whatever and say that's it? I can't imagine that, but never say never.

MARATHON WEEK ONE
One week of training down fifteen to go! Lets see I ended the week on Saturday with my back out, again, and the mother of all fever blisters on my lip and the stomach flu, but by golly I finished the whole week.
It is a pretty easy training schedule and was actually a little less mileage than we had been doing. I guess since I wanted to lose a few pounds before the marathon the stomach flu was a little boost in that direction.
I also got a massage on Monday, and boy did I need it. I always have IT band problems with my left leg and my lovely therapist knew just where to dig, I mean work. It really helped with my crazy hip problem and hopefully I can continue with the massages the whole training period.
Now I just have to find someone to massage Rebekah every week until the marathon, any volunteers? We only have three massage therapists living in the house!
