Trashcan Annie

arrrgggg I didn't sleep at all. Literally. I just watched the boys breath for 5 hours then I gave up and got up at 5:30... which is sleeping in for Amy, but the middle of the night for me.

Cooper kept laughing in his sleep. When he woke up he said, "I couldn't wait for Easter. I kept dreaming of all the fun I'd have" No pressure for this Easter Bunny. I hid the eggs so well it took them 45 minutes to find 12 eggs in our apartment. muuhhhhaaahahahahahahahahaha they didn't eat their candy???? whose kids are these? they ate their breakfast and not their candy! I would've eaten my candy for breakfast!

The boys and I went to the doctor for my cold... I have a URI and got antibotics... that's when the fun starts. I was also asked to do a routine set of blood work, including a diabetes screening (fasting blood draw). Long story short I had a full blown seizure after a failed first attempt to draw blood. Both boys were present which upsets me most. I was fine as soon as I drank some pop, but cooper and will might remember that one for a while. Cooper kept retelling the events to me..."you're eyes were open but you were sleeping, and your arms and face, and legs kept moving a lot. The nurse jumped up and started yelling. It was really scary Mom." I felt like crap everytime he'd tell me about it. I only remember coming to out of breath, and feeling out of control. There were people in my face. I couldn't catch my breath and the boys faces. I know this will probably never ever happen again... and I'm glad.

Needless to say I'm a serious hypoglycemic, which explains why I have had seemingly random pass outs in the past. From what I've read ypically your blood sugar levels have to dip below 40 to get that type of reaction. and the tingly face thing, and feeling cold aren't normal...hahahaha! I'm a freakin' dingbat. I think it's time to see a nutritionist.

Energy level was yucky... considering yesterday's events I guess that's to be expected. Chest is still a nuisance. I threw in 3x 1 min at 5;21 pace to see how I felt. it was okay. I felt I held a pretty good effort throughout this run. I seem to bounce back quickly from this kind of stuff... I bet that by thursday I'm my old self again!

I'd say there has been improvement since yesterday. There is still an energy issue. Probably has something to do with my dietary changes, and it will work itself out. The big news is I GOT TO RUN ON THE TRAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!I am a very dirty girl at the moment but I got in a solid 3 miles onthe trail, plus a little change. I think I could've made it all the way to wAdsworth rd.... but had run from home expecting I'd need mileage on the gurnee roads. so I had to turn around. either way it doesn't matter I got to run on the trail, and the creepy guy mulling around on the bridge listening to bob dylan on a hand held radio didn't even scare me off, because today it was MY F'IN TRAIL! When I got home Will said, "gosh mommy yous are weewee dirty. yous needs a shower, dares mud ahh ovah yous" He was right, I am covered in mud.. glorious mud, and couldn't be happier.

felt really good today! Must've been the company (Jenny). Did strides after to make it six, i suppose. If it's not six, It's close. Weather was great today too. today was day one... so I'm surprised I wasn't VERY sluggish!  Waiting for the other foot to fall...

Will is still not feeling well. On our family HIke today will had that tight asthma cough. So we'll just do treatments and hopefully it'll all blow over w/o antibiotics.

Hope I have more energy tomorrow. I swear I had lactic acid build up during this run.. It's day two and I think that sluggishness I was hoping to miss out on is taking hold...  I have had a lot of health issues today.
