Ouch!

Well, I sure thought of you today. I remember how totally shocked and surprised you were when you when to the doctor to have her tell you that you were all good but she wanted to see you to tell you that you really were NOT all good! I fully thought this would be a "you've got no problems" call. Shows what I know!

I've had a busy day and night, so I have not had a chance to look into this more. But I have an appointment with the podiatrist on Wed. So I'll know plenty more then!

And I did run today. And, frankly, I intend to continue to do so - at least till Wednesday. I don't think this is something to be cured by rest. We'll see though!

Shaking it off!

Or I'm trying! I really hurt myself today! I took quite a tumble right as I was finishing up the Kensington Loop. I was still on the north side of Adams - hadn't crossed to the south side yet - but I was finishing up one block and I stepped to the street to cross to the next and BAM I went down! Tripped, I guess, but I don't recall on what! I sat there in the middle of the street for a minute, I bet, just thinking "I'm pretty sure I'm going to cry! Yes, I do think I'm going to cry....." and then I realized that I had 1.5 miles before I would even see my dang house so I got up and ran home!

The iPod is OK!

And so am I. I've got a lot of scrapes and some bruises. My right hand and arm feel strained. But I'm OK.

And, again, the iPod made it out all right!!

I'm Old!

And boy can I feel that I did something different today! Ouch.

I ran 3.5 miles today. 3 miles at the 28:30 point and 3:17 at 30 minutes. Then I ran to 3.5ish slowing down. I did the last 10 minutes at 6.5 again today. I did the entire thing at a 1% incline.

And then the real fun started! We did a circuit training plan of hers. After each machine we ran 5 minutes. We started at 6.0 and ended at 6.7. So I bet I ran another .5 mile during that business.

I clearly have a lot of work to do on my abs.

It was fun - but I'm really sore!

How many posts can I title "OUCH"?

1. Man is it cold here in San Diego. Here is my new theory on Global Warming: You know how some people believe that hell is actually freezing because sometimes you can get so cold it burns?* Well, that is what I think we have happening here with Global Warming. It is actually just getting so cold that some people think it is getting extra hot. I'm ready for my Nobel Prize any time!

2. I had a good jog this morning. Then I decided to do some squats and lunges. Why, you ask? Because my Bollywood teacher had us do them on Wednesday and I have been in agony ever since. Seriously. So I figured that is a hint that I should add some to my workout. I did my squats this AM and then, on lunge number 2, I pulled my groin muscle. I wanted to curl up into a ball of misery. But I shook it off! But I've been hurting all day. I did not walk at lunch and, honestly, I don't know what tomorrow will bring. I am going to play it by ear.

3. A numbered list simply cannot exist without a minimum of three points. Actually, as a good Lutheran, I also thing a numbered list should have a maximum of three points. Thus you get a point dedicated to gibberish.

*Dear "Hell is Freezing" Proponents, This is your new theory. Don't let me down.

I forgot!

I forgot to tell you that I took an epic tumble during my lunch walk today. It was during my first uphill. I was actually jogging this particular part of the hill. And I tripped! On an uneven manhole cover. In the sidewalk. Yes, there is a manhole cover in the sidewalk. And it is not flush. Anyway, I tripped and I went down! And rolled! I have great hopes for a stellar bruise on my left hip. I don't think it is going to happen, though. I'm not hurt at all. Just a little tender on the left hip. Oh well!

I have my fruit and veggies for tomorrow all chopped and ready to go. Coffee pot is ready, too. I'm really tired so I imagine I will be to bed soon. It is funny - I could not sleep at all last week. I think this week I'll do fine. Go figure.

Okay, after a busy day doing stuff for a lot of other people, and of course doing some stuff for myself, like washing clothes, I finally went for a walk about 4:30. I have to say that I am really stiff and sore! And it is only day 2 of 30! Oh, well, although my body doesn't feel too happy, my brain says "Yay"! Now tomorrow we start our trip and I am determinded to walk! Well, not the entire way to VA but you know--30 minutes a day!

The best part of today was dinner fixed by Angie! YUM and I did not overdo! And that is what I need to concentrate on while we are on vacation--not overdoing!
