I began the two week cleanse program again (didn't finish last time).   I am hoping this will help with my chemical allergies.  It is called First Cleanse.  A bunch of herbs that should help out each of my organs to clear out toxins etc..  I will keep the blog posted of any good/ill effects.  I did make it out for a good run.  Got to up the miles as I missed two days.  Troy thinks skiing counts as a  run day.  I don't.  Anyway I got him to run just over 6 miles.  The pace was getting to him so he stayed behind the last mile as I was going to go off and run another four after a potty break.  Average pace for 6.05 (8:23), first mile 8:48.   Unable to lift head off the floor when lying on my back (neck muscles too strained) but running seemed fine.  Yahoo!!  A little tight but no problem getting in the miles, quite sore to turn to the right to look for traffic so just tried to stay looking ahead.  Ran another 4.14 miles at 7:57 pace.  Again I was surprised that this pace felt good.  Just like an easy run.  Of course I just take two steps forward in running then one step back by falling (See Monday's report).  What is it with me?  I am a magnet for getting hurt.  I thought I already took the "toughness test", why do I have to keep taking it?  Along with the "tolerance test" and the "patience test".  I keep having to take them over.  Some day I will get an "A" and many of my tests will be accepted.  Apparently I haven't reached near that point.  I still have a lot left to learn.

I am so amazed that you were not hurt more seriously. I am so sorry for your neck and head. My head hurts for you... unfortunately, literally :( I am SO glad you were able to run today :) That is SO great :) I think the brain pain is quite the lesson in patients and perseverance with a smile :)

I honestly believe that I am looked after. A personal angel hanging around to protect me as much as possible. My fate as you read could have been significantly worse. I am truly thankful even though right now I am pretty sore. C'est la vie.

I accidentally originally sent this to sasha's blackhole...ie when you try to email thru "reply" to an email.
