Spin class, 6am.  Woke at 4am and could not fall back to sleep but sleep was good.  Got up and hid Easter Eggs (I worked yesterday) outside. Then hit the gym.  Spun next two girls also heading to Boston.  One big happy Utahn Family :D.  The class worked me good but I held back.  Just taking it easy.  NEUROMA is really bugging right now and my foot is just asking for more and more time off.  No pain with spin.  Just walking-- push off.  The WHOLE left foot needs a MAKEOVER.  Bunionectomy might solve my neuroma problem.  It is small but it causes my foot to push off outward and not forwar.  Which with the neuroma first and then crazy running madness in snow and no sleep and you name it--- the worst foot disease for runners ever PLANTAR FASCITIS.  Or is it PF????  It is the tendon/nerve that is attached from the metatarsals to the base of the heel.  RIGHT SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FOOT.   hmmmmm I wonder how many POUNDS of pressure I will put on it in one measly 26.2 mile run????  After walking around in a boot for two work days straight running in that is not an option.   On a side note-- trying to avoid other traumas like cold and flus.  So I am at the spin class and the instructor is coughing and hacking and coughing and hacking.  She is right in front of me.  The fans are blowing.  Oh yay.  That's all I need.   Off to Boston tomorrow morning with my hubby and kids.  Actually we are landing in Manchester New Hampshire and heading north for the night.

I am glad you were able to go to spin this morning. Did you hide money in the Easter eggs? After you leave I'll have to come hunt around your house for the eggs your kids missed. :)

We are going to have so much FUN running the marathon. :):) I truly cannot wait. Except the weather man is now predicting 80 freaking degrees!! I do not do well in the heat at all. So pray that it changes!!

Rachelle, if we run in our bathing suits and carry a beach ball we will make the papers!!! We are after all running towards the oceanfront :D. So 80 degrees, I say bring it on!! JK.

Enjoy your flight and visiting with the family!

Nice job getting out for spin class, but sorry the instructor was blowing phlegm the whole time - nice.
