Good Morning

Another week begins and I celebrated by running 2.9 miles on the TM. Also did the push ups and sit ups and felt good to get back in gear.

As you know I took Saturday off because my foot was bothering me. Slept Friday night and Saturday night in that sock to no avail. Yesterday when I came home at noon I decided to put those orthotics in my shoes and wear them a while and see how they felt. And they felt fine! Foot didn't bother all afternoon or evening. So I wore them while running this morning and the same thing. So what the heck? Last summer they hurt like crazy to have them in and now yesterday and this morning they feel ok. So, I don't get it. Can't wear them today though because they don't fit into my winter shoes. Another mystery. Like weight.

Have a good day.

Dang! That is a mystery. Well, here is my theory. Your foot might have been so inflamed and irritated last summer that the orthotics just irritated it further. But now that it is just a twinge, they might actually work. It is just a theory!

I go to the doctor tomorrow about my oldness. I kid! About my back muscles and such. I'm tired of this. I'll let you know what they say....I'm hoping they'll prescribe massage!

Well, I made it through January. Tonight should be my last 9 pm night for some time. Whew!

Love you!

Your theory might be right. Very strange I think. I'm wearing them today and in my everyday tennies and so far, so good.

I took today off because I have come down with a bad head cold. Started coming over me yesterday afternoon while I was doing our shopping but hit me full force over night. I didn't sleep well at all. Got up at 6:15 this morning like usual but decided to go right back to bed. So I'm taking the day off from running and from work. Slept then until 9:00 and plan to take a nap after lunch. Should be back on track by tomorrow morning. I hope. I've also put off the start of my month at Wild River Fitness until next Wednesday.

Hope you get some good news and relief at the Doc today.

I'm glad you put off Wild River. I do feel like exercise helps me stay healthier - in general. I don't know that exercising while you are sick helps!

How is the foot feeling tonight?

I'm going to report on the doctor in my post! Cause I actually did some exercise today!
