on call at 5am.  took kids to 7 peaks after i ran 8 recovery miles. so do not like,my foot and back. almost quit. 8:33 ap. chiro appt with marc. ultrasound, laser, and stretch table after adjistment. hip out. pain free jog into hospital and walk....then back to "normal" with throbbing nerve pain. especialy,felt it with ultrasound and laser...pulsating outward deep in the right hip.  i should just stop running. 

almost stopped at 0.1 miles......just too tired of tbis foot/back trauma. but the longer i went the more i decided 8 miles was doable. ran out and back from rec ctr up to loader ave and on up to the canal.,first mile 9:10. uphill a bit. last mile easily 7:18. downhill. all was easy. no pushing pace. headed south on canal turned around at 1600 north in orem. 71 degrees with some good shade at times. hip having some pulsating nerve pain due to steroid as it comes,to life. so hope this works. my foot goes,in and out of feeling almost normal. played games with brooke.  and troy. stopped at walmart to get some things beforehand. hot out now. ap for 8.....7:54.

zero miles. just wanted to have,no pressure worked all day. nice pioneer day at wprk. came home watched a movie-- sky fall. should habe gone to bed but couldnt after falling asleep during movie two times. took cherry juice concentrate at 1145 pm. fell asleep 1.5 hours woke to q dream that i could not speak .....had tried mouth piece in lower teeth and i think i subconciously thought i was suffocating. very weird. hought it had been hours but only 130am!  fell asleep til 530 and that was it.  see tmr for further details.

see dream last night. deep sleep for hours i did sleep. felt ready for day at 530am.  waited to take courtney to soccer. on drive saw kim running up 1100 north by my house on way back i found her at the top of 1100 at new parking lot just turning in to gett water. she invited me with her. i slowed her. i didnt habe a watch and jad to go right into 720 to 740 pace. not easy on the,old lady who warms up at a 9:00. bu for dieting reasons and not enough kcals and the sun/humidity my heart rate soared and i had to stop at finish of timp half at lone peak. we then decided to get a water at harts across street as my heart rate was over 200. at rest it is 42!   last dr appt a week ago. so 200 felt like a heqrt attack.  i was dizzy and light headed. after i put ice in my chest/bra i was btr and was able to run 7:54 then 7:28, and 7:20 last mile. downhill finish. rest was rolling flat.    we did a portion of timp half so kim new what to expect.  7:36 ap for me.  now that i m feeling btr in general....i can see clearly....my pelvis is way out.  my left femur protrudes and right indents....hips are soooooo tilted. i feel like i have to bend my left leg to walk overly so that is.....my right reaching far to the ground. if i get this pelvis,in place i think i will be raring to go.  foot feeling btr by a margin but trouble pelvis accentuates it. my back isnt hurting since the steroid is working more and more.
