Two in a row!

Look at me! Two days in a row! I must have turned a corner. I actually am still feeling pretty low and am highly medicated. But whatever. I figure running will work it out of my system. At some point, I'll get back to the gym.

And I ran!

I think today was my third run in a three week period. But I did it. Slow. I didn't even wear my watch. And i was tired. And it wore me out after. But that's ok, I just have to get back into the swing of things. Today is the first day I'd say I feel good. I am tired but, otherwise, good.

Foot Hurts

Yes, that's right.  Felt it late yesterday and now again today.  So, I don't think these steroids are doing anything for me.  Might just be something I'll have to live with.

I did get on the TM again this morning and walked 25 minutes.  Also did some pushups and situps but that was hard.  How quickly we lose it if we don't continue to use it.

Back at it!

Well, sorta. I'm better. Without question. But still pretty worn and imperfect. Comparatively, I should say. But today my cough and sore throat were minimal. I do have a noggin ache. But I went for a run. 3 miles, Kensington Loop. Really slow. I did not push it at all. But I did it. Getting hot again here. boo.

Arthritis!

This morning I was so stiff and sore from running yesterday and then shopping that I just walked for 20 minutes on the TM.

This afternoon I saw Dr. Redburn and she thinks I have some arthritis going on in my right foot.  Took xrays and there is no stress fracture or anything broken at all.  The fact that it comes and go indicates to her it's arthritis.  She's putting me on a course of steroids for 6 days to see if that helps.  She looked at my orthotics and think they are fine and I don't need new ones.

I did something, too!

I've been feeling better, just really exhausted. But I decided to go for it and run today. So I did. I went really really really slow. Maybe 40 minutes to do 3 miles. But I did it and I survived. I had a massage schedule this afternoon and Karen took one look at me and said, "Please don't be mad, but I have to reschedule you. You do not look healthy." Which, of course, not mad. I guess I thought I was better when, really, I'm just feeling a bit better than I was. I'm not actually better, that's true. Sigh. Someday.

I Did Something!

I actually got on the TM this morning and ran 2 miles.  It nearly killed me though!  Very hard work and I started coughing the minute I stopped running.  I thought I was over this stuff but not totally I guess.  However, I am determined to get back on the wagon here one way or another.

On another note, my right foot is bothering me today.  Maybe because I ran on it this morning?  I don't know but I have an appointment with the podiatrist here tomorrow at 2:30 pm so hopefully I will find out what is going on down there.

San Diego 5K

We had a good run this morning.  Glad we could do it.

Well, I'm way behind!

I've been doing all sorts of things but not posting!

Today I went to the gym.  Third 5x5 session since my restart.  I I'm already feeling results, super happy about that.

Pretty sure I'll join this gym.

And Again Today

Not the prettiest maybe and not the fastest but I did my 2 mile route here again and pace was 11.06.  Nothing to brag about but I got it done.

I Ran Today!

Well, in between walks I ran!  Did 2 miles and ran most of it but also walked quite a few times.  Only one coughing fit at the 1 mile point.  Gorgeous morning out there.  Finally!  Biggest problem today?  I would stop at intersections and was happy to rest for 10 seconds but, invariably, the folks in their cars waved me on!  Hey, I wanted a breather!
