I didn't have much time between having the missionaries over for lunch and a doctor's appointment, but I didn't want to fail on my goal on the 2nd day! So, I ran to my friend's house to lend her a book. Although it was a short run, it was a mammoth hill (I have conveniently avoided going that direction on all my runs just to avoid it!)

I'm terrible at remembering to eat after my runs. Yesterday, I only ate a granola bar after my run, and that evening I kept feeling sick and ache-y until after dinner. Ridiculous, huh? I thought I was just getting more sick (I have a sore throat and the sniffles - who doesn't this time of year!?!) but when I felt better after eating, I knew I had not replenished my system enough after running. Duh.

My doctor's appt was yuck. I've had a stye in my eye ever since February and it has never gone away! So, I finally had it lanced today. Yuck. I hate eye things!!! I was white knuckling it and almost hyperventilating during the whole procedure. I hope I NEVER have to do that again!

Good job getting out. 2 in a row! You can do it!

Oh, that Dr. appt. sounds AWFUL! I got the willies just reading about it. Hope you feel better soon. "I had eye things!!!" What does that mean?

oops. Thanks, Lybi. I fixed it to say "I hate eye things!"

Glad that you are making the goal so far! The hill I'm sure was worth about and extra mile! Hope you feel better soon and the eye heals well!
