Well my left ankle was hurting. I though it would stop but, it hurt basically the entire run. I will ice it and take some ibuprophen, I'll see how it feel tomorrow.

Had a horrible night's sleep I don't know what was up, but my run after work was hard. My ankle is still hurting and on top of it I was just tired.

My run today was OK, I think I'm still not fully recovered from not having enough sleep. Things have been stressful with some new job responsibilities and I think that is also not helping with the way I'm feeling. I go and see my endrocronologist (sorry for the spelling) and maybe he will adjust my medicine and that might be part of the problem so well see tomorrow. Ankle feels a bit better today. I have been kind of acky in my joints and I'm wondering if the weather is making my arthritis act up a bit. But here are the stats of my run.

Well I took off work today because I had my doctor appointment and also my daughter's first orthodontist appointment. So I ran in the morning before I went to the doctor. It was my six month check up with my endrocronologist. I have been experianceing some fatigue and ackyness mostly in the mornings, and a few other things. So I expected that I would need some adjustments on my medications. I was surprised when he told me all my levels looked good. After talking a while he says he suspects that I'm doing too much. I was stunned! To much! who is not doing too much? I told him that I would not stop running, and he agreed that I shouldn't but I needed to find some more quite/relaxing time. I think he could see how frustrated I was, between work running, family, household things, and my sculpting (which has been very minimal lately) where can I find quite time? I told him I would try, but it seems unlikely to me that there will be any changes soon. I need to look at my schedule and see what I can do.
My run was pretty uneventful, about the same miles and about the same time. Felt about the same as the past few days.

Today felt much better then the past few days. It makes me wonder what changed... my diet... not likely...better sleep? ... some but I still don't think that was it. The ice and meds? Maybe but I was not as consistant with the ice so I dout it. Hormones is most likely what I think it is. I think the body is just so confusing to me sometimes. But hay I'm not going to complain when I run fells pretty good. 

My work's 5K is tomorrow so the plan is to run 5 before the race then I hope I can run the race if they don't need me to help with things. Will see how it goes.

Today I got up and run 5 miles before I had to go run and help at my works 5K. I messed up my watch but I think I finished in 43:40. Then at the 5K I ran in 25:40. I was the 17th out of 111 women. I was pretty happy.
