Moving Forward

Flew out Thursday to San Fransico for a quick trip with my hubby. It's an early 30th anniversary trip. I was running of the treadmill at the hotel. (Not fun I swear it was in a closet) I had about 21/2 miles done when my hubby found me and wanted to run outside together! So we took off for a bit... he dosn't run much but has talked about starting alot. Anyway I ended up falling pretty hard on my hip... don't ask me how... all I know is that I was on the ground and my hip was killing me.... what a way to start a vacation

So we didn't run any more on the trip but we walked a ton! biked alot and probably eat too much also, but it was a great time.

Got some new shoes... anyone hear of HOKA? Well that is the shoe I bought. They are the strangest looking shoes. I ran outside for about three miles then one on the treadmill barefoot for one. These new shoes are ment to run trails with... Sue and I will be running trails Saturday and I will see how they feel up there. The joury is still out after this first run. Not sure what to think about them... I"ll let you know how things go.

4 miles on the elliptcal, the upper body weights. My hip was really bugging today, so I just did the elliptcal. I will try to run tomorrow. I don't know what pushed it over the edge. But the fall, the new shoes, or the bike riding on the trip has really set me up... if it's not better in a couple of days I think I better go to the doc and make sure I didn't do major damage.

First time in a long time I felt like a runner!! It was a pretty good and fairly pain free, but not completely. I liked the new shoes better today then last time I ran in them. 

0 sleep = 0 run :(

Sue had a funeral today to I talked my husband and youngest son into coming up to the trails with me. They biked and I ran. It was nice but I struggled a bit more today. Felt like I could not catch my breath for the first mile, maybe because it's all up hill. But even on the rollers I didn't really feel myself. 

On a personal note I have been very emotional lately. Tearing up at things that I don't think I would normally get teary about. Had a really bad day yesterday when I realized that people I thought were my friends really are not. Brought back all those old feeling of rejection from my past. All the mean girl episodes that I thought I had out grown, I guess being particularly emotional didn't help with this situation. It just leaves you wondering what you did or why you are not acceptible to them. I'm getting teary just trying to write this. I'm sure I will be over this soon.

4 on the elliptcal and then weights. 

My knee was a bit buggy so I opted for the safe side of things and didn't run. I will try to get out tomorrow, but the weather is back to being pretty warm, so it might be treadmill miles. 

Three on the treadmill in shoes... one without shoes. It's weird that my knee always feels a bit better when I run without my shoes on. Maybe it is because I'm all warmed up. Today the first mile or so was very hard to me...legs were very stiff from lifting yesterday. Tomorrow I will probably do ellitical to give my knee a break and do upper body weights.

Three on the elliptical... two on the treadmill!

5 on the elliptical, weights. 

three on elliptical, two on treadmill

Ran trails with Sue... it was lots of fun. It had been three weeks since we have been able to run together so I loved having her with me!!

4 on the elliptical with weights after

NOTHING!!! New boss had me working late.... then coming in early. Hmmmm being busy is good, having new work and challenges makes my day go by much better.... I guess I won't complain too much.

Ran the parkway after work... not quite as far as I did the other day, but I didn't have my garmin with me so I just guestimated the miles. It was a very nice night... a bit too windy at the top, but because of the rain storms that had passed through earlier in the day it was a nice temp. There were quite a few people and runners on the path, but I didn't see any of my old regular people that I used to see every night.

Daughter had an eye appointment with the cornea specialist, so we had a late date at the gym. Her eye is doing very good, she no longer has to be on the steriod drops, her vision is about the same but he is hopeful that she is young enough that there will still be more healing. She will need to see him in 6 month. 

So we had a late night at the gym I did 4 on the elliptical then ran one barefoot on the treadmill. 

Couldn't find my garmin this morning, so after my run I did the map my run to get my mileage. It was more then I had expected. Did sleep very well last night, but I stayed home from work so I was able to sleep in a bit the run around the hood. I know that Snow must have had a great run today because all her monkey had paid me a visit for my run this morning. I think I had 4 on each leg and one sitting on my chest for good measure. Then I did the shred tape.... man I must really be a wimp... I'm shakey all over. But no complaining!! I think my days as a runner are limited so I will not complain about any of my runs... a day running no matter what the distance or speed is great! Tomorrow, I will run trails with Sue again... I hope the monkeys are back at Snow's house. Then I have a baby shower for my niece at my house... so I'm off to make some gluten free cupcakes and get the house in order!

8 miles up on the trails with Sue... perfect!

I have been plagued with some nausea issues and yesterday they were really just too much for me so I opted out of a workout.

4 miles on the elliptical... then weights... then 2 miles barefoot on the treadmill. I felt much better and I hope I'm over the queazy feeling I have been having lately.

A quick workout tonight... I had parent teacher conference to go to so I just ran three on the treadmill. The last about .75 were in my stocking feet. Then some streaching and a bit of abs. Youngest daughter is do very well at school!!! two Bs and the rest As all the teacher say she is a delight...I have to agree :)

Quick three on the elliptcal... had to get home because my sisters were coming over for a sister date, and even though the odds of them being on time is highly unlikely... I still didn't have too much time to do more.
