Getting organized.....
The things you are passionate about are not random. They are not insignificant. They are YOU! Getting my week(s) ready for Ironman Boulder #postivevibes #ironmanboulder #surgery #mentaltraining #coach #trainer #athlete #coachathlete
8 days out- back to driving!! Wahooooo
8 days out from surgery- I'm feeling so good, I'm able to be with my lil's more and more. 💗I think after hearing I don't have cancer I'm going to heal much faster 💪🏻.. Today I walked a slooooooooow 5 miles and I can't tell you how good it feels. It's amazing how we take little things for granted like putting on our own shoes, tying them, getting dressed by yourself, bringing your arms up over head, yada, yada it's just the little things....
I still can't sleep flat I have to sleep 1/2 way sitting up and I have to wear a brace around by belly all the time however, I'll take it and everything else because it's WAY better then CANCER!! 😉
Tough but getting it done...
9 days out from surgery- Life is about balance between learning from the past but not getting caught up and stuck in it. Focussing your energy on learning and implementing new habits and behaviors to get you to where you want to be..☀️ 6 miles walking done!!

With every sunrise, rises a new opportunity. "Seize it!" Happy Friday ☀️
8 days out- I feeling great, 4 miles done. I wear a brace to help me move, lower abdominals do get sore/puffy, and I need to be careful with my hipflexors they pull a lot..
I haven't had IBP for 3 days and drinking lots of water. Trying to get my hemoglobin back up with iron pills, orange juice, fruit, and hamburger everyday!!
I still get tired in the afternoon and keep my legs up as much as I can.
7 days out of surgery...
"I'm SO EXCITED!" Feeling amazing 2 miles done, it must be the fast pants and finding out everything came back "NEGATIVE for CANCER" wahooooooo!!! #cancerfree #injury #ironmanboulder #ironman #feelinggreatful🙏

I'm going to give it all I can... IM Boulder is 33 days out, a lot can happen in 33 days!!
Focus- there will be moments that will test you. There may be situations that may want to break you. There will be people who don't understand you. But little do they know, you don't get this far by accident. One step at a time. One day at a time. FOCUS over distractions. Be smart on your training. Because that's what it takes to live the dream. #upandwalk #injury #surgery #ironmanboulder #onedayatatime #godswithus

Day 5 recovery
I can't tell you how hard it is to do nothing, how the hell can people do it? I stop taking all pain medication, but keeping up with my iron my hemoglobin when I left was at an 8.6 so I need to build my blood back up...
Today's walk was .75 felt good and then rest, rest, rest.....
Day 4 time for a walk...
God doesn't promise us a pain free life or free from suffering but HE DOES promise us HE is with us every step of the way..... Walking to the sun .50 walk 😉☀️🇺🇸 #walktothesun #recovering #walking #halfmile #day4recovery #happyfourthofjuly

Yikes!
About a month ago I noticed something was going with my tummy again I really let it go and put a bandaid on it which is a huge belly brace. As my training is picking up my belly is getting bigger and my times on everything was getting slower and slower. Then a little bump started turning into a big bump as I would be laying flat... 
Finally I just can't take the pain anymore (plus I look about 25 weeks prego) I decide I'm going into walk in yep right away they send me to the ER...
The ER Doctor feels the mass and says order a CT scan and let's get an IV in, I'm thinking I'm sorry what??? I have to go peeeeeeeeee so I get to use the bathroom that was in my room.... 
What even funnier to me is after going potty, I get back in the bed and I still have my running On....."Yep I still feel like an athlete." 😜👟
IV is placed and gosh darn it they missed my vain 2x that means I'm going to have some awesome bruising....
I'm waiting and the CT doctors comes in, when he gets there he hands me some water this is for you..... I'll be back in 20 min. "Ok" so me the fun person I am, I wait for him to come back in I say "did you want me to drink this?" 😂🙊
Off to my scan and I'm still smiling .........
CT shows I have 2 mass in my belly and to top that off 1 is as big as a baseball and it's pushing everything up into my rib cage area.... No wonder why I can't breath then working out... Off to my scan and I'm still smiling .........Done and back in my room... The CT nurse says "good luck with everything!" "Yea now I really know there's a problem!"
Now time to take the shoes off..... "Ultrasound is ordered" so for a joke I said "I didn't shave can I get a razor?" ..... You have to make light on most of the stuff right?!?!? 
Thankfully as soon as I get the razor in my hands the ER doc comes in he says .... We need to get you dressed take the IV out and get you over to see one of your specialist in OB he's the surgeon who will be doing your surgery..... I'm sorry what??
I get dressed walk over to where he's at.... In another building, as I sit down he's talking to me about my next game plan, he says: I need you to see another specialist, he's at Mayo in Onalaska at 2:00 tomorrow "will that work"? He goes into telling me I have to mass one is the size of a baseball the other is smaller, we need to check to see if that is cancer before I do anything with you and we need to see if I need to send you to Rochester MN for the procedure.... I'm sorry "WHAT?!?"
Everything just happened so fast!
That evening I got on my bike and road slower then normal I just needed time to take all of this in....
I felt amazing my time was much, much slow however, I'm thankful I can stil bike...
The next morning I get up teach my cycling/TRX I can hardly move without taking 800 of IBP... As I'm teaching I'm noticing I can't do everything as normal and I break....... I tell all..... (thank god I have the most amazing athletes in there I was able to sleek about what's going on to them) after training It was off to the pool... The greatest thing about swimming is you could be crying and know one would know it....
Get home jump into the shower, do things with my family and just hang out.... Then off to Onalaska
Walked in the lady says "stAirs or elevator" lol me stairs please..... 
I waited in the room ready to puke....

Leave- in- conditioner
This stuff is awesome!! Being in the pool 3 times kills my hair; yes I know I posted about the shampo and condiitioner how well that works however, using this stuff along with the other stuff makes my hair feels so much thinker and not so straw like.... 🏊😉
Pushing the limit on swimming!!
Swimming 3200 yesterday and today stressing my shoulders out with a 4200 this am I felt amazing. My time was about 1:10:00 with paddles and fins on.. It's funny before I went into swim the guard says to me... "There's a limit on the lanes, nothing offer an hour"..... (She's kidding of course) so after an hour I jump up and whaooooooo moved to the other side 😜🏊....
