St. George Casualties

The following is a list of casualties from the St. George Marathon on Saturday. Some are a total loss while others are just slightly damaged.

1. My ego (slight damage here)
2. The arch on my right foot
3. Right IT band
4. Previous marathon PR (again, just slight damage here)
5. Normal color in my lips (blue is not my color, however I seem to have regained most of my normal color after jumping in the hot tub at our hotel in my running clothes)
6. Some skin from both legs
7. 2 shins
8. 2 quads
9. 3 toenails
10. Loss of feeling in approximately 10 fingers
11. Ego again, but this time in Las Vegas when everyone stared at me because I could not walk in a straight line, stand up or sit down in a normal fashion. The geriatric gamblers looked better than I did. I was sober.
12. My faith in the idea that I will ever be able to travel to a race known for its great weather and actually have great weather.

Full race and trip report with pictures to follow...whenever I catch up on my sleep and work (i.e. it may be a while!).

You're funny. If it helps, I know how it feels to be stared at by the Las Vegas geriatric gamblers after St. George. To quote the presidential candidates . . . "have faith, your best days are still ahead!"

CONGRATS on another PR finish!

Heal up! Remember that Lance Armstrong had to be wheeled around on a luggage cart after his first marathon. At least you were not that bad.

I look forward to reading the details.

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....

Into the Donor Egg World We Go

As I sit down to write this, I'm shocked to see February 27, 2022 was the last post I've written about our IVF journey.  In some ways, it seems like so much has happened over the last year, and on the other hand it seems like nothing has happened at all because we are back to square one. I'll provide a quick summary of the last year, but please understand this won't even begin to describe the true roller coaster ride we have been on.  I actually don't think it is even appropriate to call it a roller coaster because that indicates there are some ups.  Our ride has been more like a train ride through hell. After our failed transfer in February, we decided to take a break in March to let my body rest a bit before transferring our next embryo.  During that time, a friend reached out and told me about her friend that hadn't had success here but did at CCRM in Colorado.  At the time it almost felt like a divine intervention, but I now know better.  We spent seven...
