I spent half my day at doctors appointments today.  Not a good day! No good news!

My 4 year old has a cyst in her duct in her throat and they want to cut her throat open and remove it.  We go in for an ultra sound on her throat on Monday. 

Then I had to take my 11 year old in and  the doctor basically told me just to go to pmc hospital because he is pretty sure her shunts are not working. So we go in thursday to find out wheather she will have to go back for more surgery. 

Motherhood is so much fun!

I had a great day today! I ran 5 miles with no walking in 51 minutes.  I think if I could breath better I could run more like this everyday. I feel like I need to yawn or that I am just not getting enough oxygen.  

I worked my abs and then I got on the arc trainer for 20 minutes with 5-35 pounds.

 I feel pretty good other than my left leg feels like I have a pinched nerve at the top.

I am still trying to figure out what happened today. I was walking across the gym to go run and a trainer came up to me and started to talk to me next thing I know I am doing lunges across the floor.  So He worked my legs and abs over pretty good for about 45 minutes, then he told me everything I was doing wrong, and how much he was going to charge me to get me where I want to be.  

I had 20 minutes left after that so I got on the bike.   I wanted to run but my legs were very jello like. I think I am going to be really stiff tomorrow.

I ended up telling him I could not sign up for anything right now. He wanted me to pay $99 to start and then another $299.00 for the rest of the year, and that was just to write me out a workout plan read my eatting jornal and weigh and measure me once a month.  It did not include any  presonal training. 

I did think to myself as he was talking " I have the running blog that will give me tips on all that"  "and for free, and they acually care"    So thankyou to everyone who has encoraged me and kept me going.  This really is an awsome group of people.

I am still so stiff today. It hurts to walk up the stairs and to stand up.  I had another doctors appointment today for my little girl so I did not make it to the gym.  I have not done much this week so I decided if I just walked really slow on my treadmill. I started off walking and it was driving me crazy so I ran. I stayed on for 32 minutes running and walking off and on. Then I stretched still felt like I didn't get enough today so I got on the bike and rode for 30 minutes. I had resistance on it up and down. I think I feel mentally ok now but legs don't feel any better.

I finally ran outside today. I am not sure it was a good day to tyr it out, but I did it.   I had about a half mile of  a good incline and the rest was pretty flat but the wind was blowing so hard. I kept thinking "K when I turn this corner the wind should be in my favor" Nope not once was the wind blowing behind me. I hope my time will be better without the wind next time. 

I am still really stiff from the damage the trainer incured on me. I am not sure if it is better to rest or to keep running through the pain. Because today felt really good to be outside but my legs were hurting the entire time.  I could have done much better if my legs felt anything but tight and burning.   

I got on the bike later to try to get my legs moving. Just to get rid of the stiffness.
