I have finally been sleeping better... still not feeling refreshed, but at least I'm not waking up 3-4 times a night! I think my meds are helping but I think I will still need some adjusting, I get my blood drawn again on Monday so will see how the numbers look.

5.2 on the elliptical, first 4 at a high intencity, then backed off a bit, then stretching and abs. Busy night so didn't get much more done at the gym. Hopefully Hubby will be able to workout with my tonight, I always do better at getting some good weights in when I workout with him.

I think I need to do some other activity besides the elliptical, so tomorrow I think I will try the bike. My thought is that maybe something different will help my knee abit more. Don't know if this will be any help though.

4 on the elliptical... as I was sweating away I noticed a pretty blonde with a cute pregnant tummy... I thought is was RAD and was so excited to see her!! I was about to go ask her what she was doing in my neck of the woods when she turned around and I realized it was not RAD... :( Other then that not much to say... did arms and abs

45 minutes on the spin bikes that are in the back of the gym. It felt good to mix it up a bit, my knee bugged for a bit but I kept adjusting the tention and stuff until I found the sweet spot and was able to get a good ride in. Had a pretty good puddle of sweat under my bike when I was done. Lots of streatching and abs.

Didn't sleep well last night, don't really know why, but my hip and knee were pretty acky also. Sue want to try to hike/run the trails on Saturday so I think I will take it easy tonight.

So I met up with Sue at the trails this morning it was wonderful! My heart and spirit felt wonderful, but my knee struggled. There was a few other runners on the trail and seeing them effortlessly running down the hills made me sad wondering if that is ever going to be possible again. But I need to focus on what I can do and even thought we hiked more the ran I loved being there!

Then when I called my hubby on the way home to see what he was up to he told me he was heading to the gym.... so I met up with him for an hour of weights! Today felt great, I just hoping I can get my knee feeling better soon. 

Now off the do chores and hopefully some doll work, then wait to read the race reports of the bloggers who raced today!!
