Well a funny thing happened after  I wrote yesterday's report about not being tempted to run today....  MY NEW SHOES ARRIVED at 5pm !! What luck!! So I wore them to the first BYU basketball game of the season last night (cause they are so cute and I need to break them in) and after working for 6.5 hours this morning and chowing down on baked masticolli and some chocolate squares, I felt the need to go running.  I was wanting 50 miles for the week and so I ran 7 today.  But not without some discomfort.    Abdominal discomfort.  My stomach didn't register the food I ate until I began running.  So I burped and burped and hoped the nauseating feeling would go.  I couldn't run fast because doing so would shunt more blood away from my stomach and cause further trouble.  I just ran easy and MY FOOT GAVE ME NO PROBLEMS.  It was hurting immensely at work this morning.  I call it one of my MS-like attacks-- burning nerve pain from my neck down thru my chest, hip, leg and foot.  This time on my right side.  It usually happens on my left side but once in a while it pops up on the right side.  I had Troy do trigger point pressure pushes on various areas to release the burning pain after work and the huge eating session.  The massage helped and I was able to think about running and releasing the toxins.  It seems whenever my family (two kids currently and a husband) get colds/fevers I get intense burning nerve pain instead and a headache.  I rarely if ever get a cold.  Knock on wood.    AP for 7 miles = 8:34.

mizuno wave precisions. They are the pretty white with light blue and light green. They look like they have flowers all over them. Very stylin'!! Cushy on the heels, light weight 8.3 ounces. They are trainers but I am thinking of hoarding some and rotating them.

McKenzie I work every other Saturday. This WAS my Saturday off but I traded with another nurse. If all goes according to plan she should be working NEXT Saturday for me, so I have the next TWO Saturdays off.
