35km - woot woot!
After 6 months of 'not feeling well', one thing after another... I have a green light! I am going for it! But, I have so far to go to catch up!
After the summer, I started to have problems.... I had ultrasounds, a biopsy, and several doctors appointments. My thyroid level was high, high/normal... so on thyroid meds I go. It didn't help, it didn't stop my 5 month period. I was getting E X H A U S T E D!..... So tired (a 50km easy ride felt like a 100km RACE)...
PTA President takes as much time as I want it too.... well, I gave it all I had. The Charity Bazaar is a testimant to my passion for our PTA events, and our school. Just as I would be feeling better, an event would come up and I am off the bike for 1 week, then 10 days, then at times over 2 weeks.
The doctor in HCMC told me that my iron was low, but okay.
Then.... Christmas Vacation, we went to the US. Again, off the bike for nearly 3 weeks! AAUUGGHH... while in Beaverton, getting ready for one doctor's appointment I found a lump under my breast. Needless to say, I freaked out! It didn't seem to go away after a few days... and it HURT! My mom thought it was a cyst... and... after a mammogram and ultrasound, yup, a cyst.... nothing to be concerned about, but should be removed at some point.
GOOD GOD!
So, today, on my bike, 35kms... whoo hoo! Considerably jet lagged, but got out there. I am sure I will be sore.
I have finally stopped the 'period' from hell...
I am on iron and vitamins...
I am on birth control to keep the 'period' in check...
I am faithfully recovering after rides the way I am suppose to....
I am watching my diet to maximize good quality fruits/vegetables/protein sources
I just really hope.... I can race in Thailand this year!

You can always find excuses. You've got to find a reason.
