A windy day of rest :) I stayed home from church :( My allergies are trying to turn into a sinus infection, so I got myself some Sudafed, a big glass of water(44oz) and am going to rest today. I usually end up on a nasal steroid, but I am hoping to avoid it by resting today and getting rid of the congestion. Here's hoping. Are there any no calorie/low calorie orange juices? I want some V-C without all the calories. Tea sounds good. I wonder if I have any? I'll have to go on a hunt. I wish hot chocolate had the same healing properties as hot tea ;)) ...Oh and the same # of calories ;D
Oh- since this month is Yoga Month ;) yogatoday has a 24 minute newbie sequence streaming. Here is the link http://blog.yogatoday.com/2009/09/09/a-sequence-for-the-novice/ I started to watch it but decided I'd rather take a nap. My plans for the week are to #1- NOT GET A full blown SINUS INFECTION. #1.2- See Dr Brady this week #2- run 3 miles every day, 4 saturday if all goes well. #3- get at least 3-4 yoga classes in, maybe daily. #4- 3 bike rides in. #5- NOT GET A full blown SINUS INFECTION. #6-10 are the same as #1 and #5. PS- I think the yoga is helping my ITBS and my hip problems. I didn't have very much pain last night while I slept. PPS- If I am feeling well, I want to try the biking before I run to see if it really helps with a more rapid leg turnover. I may have to wait a bit for this experiment. Michelle mentioned that it also might be helping me as it warms up the legs so I can get right into a better pace. Hmmmm, a lot to think about as I relax while the troops are are church :) Oh crud, only one more hour until the invasion occurs ;) PPPS- I found a new stretch for ITBS. IT'a a long article, but the description of the stretchis good, if you can follow it along ;) It's called Walt Reynolds's ITB Special

71 minutes of yoga. This class was short so I added some extra poses at the end to get my stinky hips ;D I am hoping for a run this morning. Currently it's 4:40 am. I forgot that Sudafed won't let me sleep :( I figured if I can't sleep, may as well get some yoga in ;)

1.75 miles on the treadmill. My knee started to squak so I hopped off ;) YEAH- Dr Brady is getting me in today at noon! YEe HaW!!! Let the torture begin ;D ***Dr report. YOW-za! My hip is a mess. I had 6 needles sticking out of my bum/hip region by the end of the appointment. The hip portion of my injury is going to be better fast :) The ITBS may take a bit longer, but he thinks I will be running again in 2 weeks for sure, and back to normal mileage by 4-8 weeks. No running at all for 1-2 weeks. My ITB was the very worst mid thigh and then my hips were a total disaster. I am cleared for all the yoga, biking and swimming I want :) Maybe I will go get the monthly pass at the hotel for the next month just so I can kick my bum a bit in the pool. Maybe I'll get brave and swim in the reservoir with Michelle. I need a wet suit. As I sit here, my bum is throbbing. I need lunch. I am STARVED!!!

| | An hour and a half bike ride with Michelle. Will was in the bike trailer :) What a FUN time :) The day even gets better. I headed to Costco after work. As I was leaving I ran into Luz :) We chatted and then I headed over to meet Michelle at Red Mango. YUMMY!!!! See how this day is the BEST DAY EVER. Well it even gets better. I happened to be over at the school just in time to hear President Obama's speech at the elementary school. It was BRILLIANT!!!! I am SO glad that I heard it myself. It is one speech that EVERY American with children needs to hear. Every child needs to hear it too. Very good. BEST DAY EVER!!! :) |

51 minutes of yoga. I veered from the class today a TON. I really needed to focus on my hips. They are coming around :) We saw 500 days of Summer last night. It was actually pretty good. I really had a hard time with parts of it. I guess I am just really a "breed for lifer" monogamous girl. We are off to school to get Mac and then to the GROCERY STORE!! Woo hoo!! Be the kind

morning the devil
