Work will win when wishy washy wishing won't

I decided it was time to try a little run.  I didn't want to go first thing in the morning because of the cool air, but it didn't seem to warm up too much.  Kind of strange for June.  I just decided to run slow and see how it felt.  If it felt OK then I would go up to 3 miles.   It felt fine so I got 3 miles in.  I did a little coughing when I was done but it all seems to be in my throat and not my lungs.  The last 6 times I ran was on a ship on the ocean.  It was nice not to go around and around and around for my miles today.  I plan to keep things real easy and low miles this week.  Then I hope I can start my official SGM training.

Ya know what I am most excited for?  Running with Tom tomorrow!  Just when he was able to get running again I got sick.  It will be nice to run with my BRB again!

Yeah!  Ran 4 walked 2 with my BRB/hubby, Tommy, in the beautiful morning sun!  The coughing is almost gone.   Probably a bit of it will hang on forever like coughing does.  But yippee yahoo for a great way to start the day!

I can tell my energy level isn't quite up to normal.  I did fine with my 5 mile run this morning but didn't have a lot of energy at home. 

Wow, when Tom and I went out to run today we commented on how it felt like October.  Crazy weather but it sure makes for some beautiful scenery!  The mountains are so green and pretty!   Ran 4 with Tom and then one more for the day.

I am one of those lucky people who only work one day a week.  Three weeks ago I missed for my daughter's 6th grade graduation.  Two weeks ago I missed for our cruise and last week I missed for pneumonia.  It was so nice to be there today.  I get to work with a great gal and we have such awesome people who come in each week.  It was a joy to see each of them.  However I was sad as my cute Joan came in and told me that her dear hubby of 49 years had passed away last week.  I cried with her.  What a sweet example her and her hubby are to all!  She was so cute as she mentioned that he was just ahead of her planning a great place for them both but she was going to give him plenty of time to work on it before she joined him.  : )

So I can't figure out my back.  I hurt through the night and wake up hardly able to move.  After a few minutes of walking around I am able to go about the rest of my day with no troubles, including being able to run. People who see me running don't believe that I really have back troubles at all.  I'm wondering if I need a firmer mattress.  I am also wondering if wearing heels at work, (I stand for four hours in heels), makes it worse the next morning.  I need to start keeping track of the things I am doing and when my back is doing well or not. 

But after the back worked through it's crazyiness I enjoyed yet another run with my hubby.  I think I like him being at my level.  : )  A little selfish, I know, but I like it.  It's great to run with him!  I'll enjoy it as long as it lasts. 

Great run today!  No time to write though so for more details go to tom.fastrunningblog.com

Have a great day!
